actually its a must have for paladins period. And for wars, this set is only really useful if their tanking w/o nin sub. so a must for paladins, and a great set for tanking war/mnks.
I've got a PLD53 friend who still wears the boot, and wore the set until 40 and 50 (replacing parts for the amazing IM gear). That should give you PLDs and WARs a good idea of how long this lasts, and the investment is worthwhile.
I have a full set of this armour, if anyone is interested in buying it ^^ level 35 warrior, so 2 levels to go and it will be up for sale. send me a /tell or pm me on here if you are interested.
P.S research cost of a full set of this armour before making me an offer !
i so need this set if anybody is in the caitsith sever i would greatly appreciate if you sell me this set my dream job is a PLD if you sell me this set i will be your slave lol >.< well piz tell me my name is lushen (hint hint) i am only lvl 18 warrior/ lvl 9 monk ill get the PLD job soon so piz >.<
also i payed around 300K+ for the whole set. the hand gear was 85k alone. i got my gil from a friend that quit and give me his astral ring. which i sold for 450k in jeuno on gilgamish.
This armor is *amazing* for it's level. I cannot stress how good this is for War/Pld - espically PLD. Agi helping you block more and get shield skillups - Defense is brilliant, and it looks cool =P
This is the best armor til 40 so yes i have eisen and its very good but...i got all of the stuff each for 3k and now most of the levle 40 stuff is 30k EACH so u get screwed badly on the suit chaging but good luck
ok i have just came into a lot of money....Leaping Lizzy and i am going to buy this for my furture Pld i have heard that it is the best armor for him is this true?
This set has a total of +7 to both vitality and agility. i assume it's more like a plus 3 or 4 with the regular version, but that's incredible by my standards(but then again, the bone armor +1 letting me give up my corse leggings and gauntlets was alot for me to handle too). And to top it all off it's plate armor, cool plate armor. With all these stat boosts i can let my rings for my WAR/THF Focus more on STR and DEX. .i've got a vit and a str one for now, but by that point i should have afang necklace +1 so it'll be about a 5+ bonus to every remotely important skill. It'll a fine chapter in my war's life when he can look cool and be effective all at the same time ^_^
UPDATE: ugh... i'm gonna have to sell alot of silver ingots to make the money for this set >_< if anyone would like to offer me an alternate form of getting gil, plz tell me. I the shiny stuff, but i'd rather do something that was stackable, or even more profitable then 21k a stack if it's possible at this level
this equipment as a full set kicks but, i have it for my war at level 29. when i switched from chain set to this, def skyrocketed and the mandys in yhoater jungle went from hitting me for 30-45 to 15-20, def with protect 2, defender and boiled crab was up around 250-260. most pieces with the Vit+ don't have to be replaced to mid 40-50. whole set runs about 200k. can't wait for my pld to wear it!!!
Any guesses onto what level of smithing you need to make these? Iron sheets are 22...Iron armor... hmm I would guess early 50's late 40's... what do you guys think?
Ah so this IS new armor from the expansion. I saw this in Jeuno and was baffled why it didn't get a mention (any of the esien- and kam- pieces) in either the war or the pld equipment guides.
I'll be shopping for this stuff soon, hopefully the price'll have gone down
