This is the best compromise in a single armor piece for Promyvions, whether I'm going RDM, WAR, or farming solo as THF. Admittedly, it's not the ultimate for WAR nor THF but with so many jobs, I can't feasibly equip them all for every level capped area without making some compromises.
Sadly, the HQ Strong Vest is almost never on AH. As for the Strong Trousers, on Kujata there's ONE entry in AH history. Maybe there's no market, or maybe leathercrafters just THINK there's no market, I dunno.
I'm not too sure why everyone is posting about using this piece of junk or how it looks. Anyone who actually uses this needs to get off their lazy a$$ and head out to farm ><. I would have expected all the posts under this item would be about the guild points it rewards.
Anyways enough b*tching, it is in fact worth 2280 guild points. I just handed in two of them, as the max reward was around 5000 from these.
Wow that shows what a ******* ****** you are. I dinged 30 on my BRD tonight and I'm trying to find one of these. Not because I'm poor and need to "get off my lazy *** and go farm" but because it's the best thing I can wear for several levels. Nothing else I can wear gives me any worthwile stats and considering that I've been pulling in my parties, I'm going with the piece that gives me the most defense which happens to be this. Agreed with previous posters, it's ugly as hell but it's not a bad piece by any means. Now GTFO and stop opening your mouth when you don't know wtf you're speaking of.
