i so stupid idk why i bought this for 100k on bismarck..........but for me i just have fun with the game i dont rly care bout stats i just care bout how cool my char looks........and no one rly sees it so everybody tht seen me says my char looks badass.....and by the way it look lik ur a lvl 70 or higher wit it on
Babot Bismarck 50war/25mnk (utezumi:ichi im so desprite plz help)
Well useless, since Brigadine is the same lvl with better stats. On Shiva this goes for 800K for an armor w/o stats...*hoards all the Banded Mail and Breastplates.
800K for 30 def isn't worth it, you could either save it for a HQ or use on Brig and have at least 770-790K left over.
its funny to see people saying "they should cost XX gil" (which for the most part they are right they SHOULD cost that much) However, i havent seen this piece (NQ) for less than 500k on my server (Diabolos) and the only time i have ever seen that HQ of it (not even listed in the AH) Was a JP DRK lvl 54-ish and he was wandering around kuftal when i was in a skillup party... he said he wouldnt sell it :/ I can only imagine since the rarity of this set on my server the prices going down anytime soon... the aluminum ores to make it are around 100k each... /sigh guess i need to lvl my smithing and go find these mining points and pray for a HQ
You can find the HQ version of this, and most of this entire set for that matter, in Superasia's bazaar out in Rolanberry Fields (Ragnarok). Think he's got it up for about 10 mil, though.
It looks cool, if I happen to make the HQ version I'll wear that instead of my Brig+1, just because it'll be nice to have a change from the checkerboard look.
Non-HQ is going for 1mil on Ragnarok I haven't seen a HQ version on my server yet, and considering the mining points to get the aluminum are dangerous to get to. I don't see to many lvl. 75's mining. If someone on Ragnarok is willing to get me the Aluminum ores maybe we can work something out.
My geuss is that, like alot of other items, making this item is a complete gamble. Such As with Brigidine or some other armor, if u HQ it great! if u dont, well u lose money, but my geuss is that because this item is so new, and not many people have found a good way to get aluminum yet, that the NQ version is still so high. ( i just used brigidine as an example, im pretty sure what i said is true about that particular peice of armor, or instead just think of Amemit Mantle)
Why would you pay "50k-100k" for this? Brigandine is ~10,000 gil on most servers and is better in every possible way (except for looks I suppose).
I very rarely complain about anything Square puts into FFXI but I think the whole Alumine/Luisant set is insulting to crafters. The NQ version has no bonuses at all and inferior DEF to similar gear at the level, so if you don't HQ the synth you might as well just throw it in the garbage. I understand crafters usually lose money if they don't HQ a synth but this is just ridiculous. Best of luck to anyone trying to make Luisant gear.
im buying this 4 my nin just cause looks like haubert i might by +1 4 soloing if any1 gold smiths on ramuh gimme holla ill pay u mucho grande for this starting price should b 50k-100k at beging 4 reg and prob 300k+ for +1 butm1 kinda sucks lol evasion-12... good luck every remeber if prices r 2 high wait month ^^ they always go down after awhile
