Lord only knows why this thing is so cheap. I got one yesterday for 5k and just the anticipation of using it is killing me. It's like a Trainee Life Belt, seriously. Acc+5 doesn't grow on trees.
Tilt belt has a way higher drop rate than the charm, and since so many people are now doing this BC for the charm the belt has dropped to 5k on Kujata.
You read that right.. 5000g. 4 digits. Dirt cheap.
ok i was checking out this sam taru in my pt lastnight and i was like WHOOO! whare did u get that belt from??? and fyi hes JP -.- grr but i found out there only 20k on asura! so im there flipping out that im ganna get 1 after this pt. its soo great. so now that i can use swordbelt, i figure that if i wanted 2 i could switch things up
ex.
swordbelt + sushi (for the dex) or tilt belt + meat chiefkabob (for strength) soo many possibilities... grr ok ill work on what im ganna do! im happy ^^
Just picked one of these up for 5k, and I reckon that's a steal. Add in a Balance Buckler and a Venerer Ring, and that's some nice +Acc for a very low price at level 40.
I'll be picking up a Viking Axe and a Life Belt at level 48, but for now, this will do. :)
Reason this is now so cheap, is because EVERYONE is doing this BCNM atm. They added Peacock Charm to the list of drops since the update :D.
u guyz think all the price ups are crazy look at this ****, ok i used to level DRG and i got it to 43 for no invs so i looked around played other low level jobs and finally i choose war/nin, ok now on DRG when i checked it was 300k :x ; ; now.... its 3k.. WTF XD
i mean its Acc+5 thats like having a sniper's ring.... but w/o the crapy stuff the ring do to u -hp and so on and the only melee job that dont need this belt is prolly PLD and MNK since PLD go for warrior's belt and MNKs for brown
yeah im happy its cheep i have 1 but why is it cheep?
Last night I helped a SAM friend of mine do the Under Observation BCNM40 for the tilt belt. We did it once because he could only afford 1 orb, and to my pleasant surprise we got the drop. Let me tell you that is one extremely happy samurai. Anyways, I was just curious about what this belt is going for because on Leviathen the last recorded sale was 7/16/04.
If anyone can give me a price check I would appreciate it. Also we got a mantra belt to drop, which I ended up getting, but the last sale on that item was 7/16/04 as well. I realize it is a POS but I do want to try to sell it but I don't want to put it up on the AH w/o knowing an approximate price.
What was your strategy and can it be used by a DRG? I can never seem to find any strategies that ever include DRG's for any BCNM's and it's really starting to annoy me. Maybe something where a SMN with Carby mittens pulls one compuond eye and then DRG+DRK wail on it or something and then the SMN pulls the next.
There should be an obvious reason this thing has increased in value: level 40 cap missions. With the life belt taken away, Dragoons and especially Dark Knights need to find things suited to that cap that can give them accuracy, if this had been one level higher, it wouldn't have gone up. I myself as a DRG am going to pull some seals together & hopefully pull this thing for sake of my own aquaducts run, because while its no life belt (and I love mine to death), its allowed in those areas.
I bought one this morning, 250k gil on Alexander. If Snipers ring is worth 500k, this is worth 250k.
The only difference is that people may not notice this belt as much when they check your equip - at least that's what I'm worried about. EVERYONE looks for snipers, but I bought this because it gives the same accuracy for half the money. A great bargain IMO. But, will anyone notice? Will I get criticized for not having snipers yet! Hope not.
***Edit***
I guess I don't have anything to worry about. In my first pt last night almost immediately after entering, the PLD said to me "Nice Belt!" asked me how much, complimented me, etc. I was very happy about that!! ^^
Thanks for the heads-up! I did a little searching and found that it is a BCNM drop. Mystery tour has it listed as a BCNM 40 Horlais Peak. Here is the link if you want to check it out. Mystery Tour Site Happy Hunting! Okay, so the link wasn't working so here it is: http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.jp/ffxi/us/index.html
Being the Elvaan Dragoon that I am, I want this belt as a placeholder for the life belt until 48. I like my Warrior Belt+1 and everything, but I like ACC. The thing is, I checked the price history in Jeuno, and I found only *6* transactions for the item around 100k. It has a "rare" label on it, so I wouldn't be surprised if a certain NM dropped it. If someone could tell me where I could find one of these, it would be greatly appreciated.
This thing costs more than it's worth if it's at 100k+. Wait 8 lvls and get a life belt for +10 acc, all jobs can wear, and no -evasion. Life belt on Ramuh only runs around 40-50k
150k? I'm on Titan too, I went to the AH this morning to check out the price of it, the last one sold went for 250k! WHY jack the price up SO much all the time!
