I read through all these posts and I must say it is a back and forth conflict weather they are worth it or not. I must say I had a good friend in RL and in game make these for me in Dec of 2004 and I still use these all the time. I use these on my Warrior all the time when doing Promies. My Main is 74 Dragoon and when I do BCNM and/or ENM these are the boots I have on for unless it is lvl 54 and above and then I use my Drachen Greaves. So just throwing an opinion out there if you have a high level crafter that is worth doing this in your LS then go for it do to overhead will not kill you and if you have the gil to spare get them you will find yourself using these a lot especially, War, Drg, Thf (and all your Dex and Agi based jobs). Thanks for listing.
*The way that the following items are acquired has been changed: Archer Ring, Leaping Boots, Emperor Hairpin, Peacock Charm In addition, players may receive an EX/Rare or EX item with the same attributes from the monsters who previously dropped each of the above items.
Just get Leaping Boots and your sorted. Or.... Sell them at a high price and buy your Winged Boots for roughly the same price meaning you've gained 2def Congratulations O.~
Ok this might be a bit of a noobquestion but I wonder. If I repair a Lu Shang rod and the synth goes bad you bever lose the rod you only lose the crystal. If I would try to synthesise my leaping into winged boots could I really loose my ( 800K on remora ) leaping ? I would love to sign these with my own name and since ALL my characters that can use these are higher then 23 ...
Please give a reply here if you had a bad synth and lose them or not ofcourse.
rods + light are a special case in the crafting world. Everything else can fail, and thus possibly loose everything. Eye clusters come to mind as being one that if you fail, everything is always lost.
Why would some one get winged boots over leaping i mean leaping can be weared by almost any job and its low level so if you got low level jobs that can use them you can wear them like any time
What's funny is I bought these for 700k when the price of Leaping Boots was 900k. I had camped and successfully killed Leaping Lizzy w/ the drop and saw a guy shouting he wanted Leaping Boots.
Well they were selling it now for 950k on the AH. This guy was level 32 if I remember correctly. I don't know why he didn't check the AH for Winged Boots.
Well anyhow so I sell him the LB fors 900k and then go buy my Winged Boots for 700k. Because Winged Boots sell so much slower so I'm sure that price had been up for 2 or 3 days. Nobody was checking it though. I ended up benefitting.
That's is probably one of the only times I have been so lucky.
"LOWER LEVEL" LOL haha these are good on any NIN, THF, DRK, RNG, hell practically any melee job (except maybe PLD) up to AF so i wouldnt quite say there for just lower levels haha
A good reason to "waist your gil" on crafting these, is because with a guild crystal you can sign your name to them... Therefor making who ever you sell them to a walking billboard, which can lead to people seeing the boots > send you /tells asking you to craft HQ leather craft items for them (Snipers, Blue cote... ect) I'm geting a pair of leaping boots just to get them signed by my friend.
Actually, if you could synth these boots yourself, say lvl 100 leather... you could make quite a bit of gil over a duration of time. Notice the boots aren't rare. Could you imagine hunting lizzy, getting the boot drop and synthing these right there on the spot and camping the next pop?
If you're lucky you might get multiple drops in a row... if you're not... you might not get to claim lizzy at all. However, it could make the difference between walking away 6 hrs later with 1.8 mil or walking away sooner with only 600k (assuming luck was on your side).
This could be useful. You can wear this and hunt Leaping Lizzy and you'll still get the boots ^^, and you can sell as much leaping boots as you want and keep these boots
"This could be useful. You can wear this and hunt Leaping Lizzy and you'll still get the boots ^^, and you can sell as much leaping boots as you want and keep these boots"
good point, and to the flamers about these boots, wouldnt you rather have these after lvl 24 than plain jane leaping boots? I would, and do. "L337" or not, they sexier than leaping.

i have a very sad story to tell. i got my leaping boots on dec.17th and today (dec28th) i decided to make winged boots so i shouted for someone in jueno to help. Shadowen said my sisters charector has a lv 91 leathercraft skill. so he logs on to Deathfrombehind and i run to bastok to meet him, i treade him the items and i wanted to make sure that he didnt fail so we decided to get a teleport to mea. we got one and i pay for both of us. then we teleport and he didnt have the crystal!so im stranded in mea while he goes ahead and logs off!AHHHHHH i am so mad. Now Shadowen is back on and is dening everything, i called GM and there seeing what they can do. I hate u shadowen and deathfrombehind. if anyone sees one of these people send them a tell saying to give Battosai back his Leaping Booots Name:Battosai Sever:Fairy PLEASE HELP ME GET MY BOOTS BACK ; ;
Damn dude, that is one crappy story. I really can't believe that someone would do that. Just goes to show that there are "Some" people out there that are complete idiots and think that it's ok to steal from others. I mean, how would that guy feel is someone stole his Leaping Boots like that, I'm sure he'd be pretty pissed. Not only that, if the guy HAD to steal if from you, that must mean he's either broke or doesn't have a pair himself. So if someone did steal them from him he'd be SO mad. Thanks for making yourself look so bad Leaping Boots stealer!
a who ever has lepping boots and can trade them please give them to me or help me get them if u can help look at the bottom and u will see my server name and character name please help
How's it going drazian? Surely, you know who this is... lol. i finally see one of your posts. if u ever need help on lizzy, gimme a call. You know how good I am on it.
Japanese is not wonderful, everyone holds them on such a high pedestal. Their humans, just like u and me. With a brains just like you and me. Nothing extra special.
