it drops where now....?
# Jul 27 2005 at 11:43 PM Rating: Decent
well, considering the Peacock Charm is now dropped from a lvl 40 BCNM, I would say its entirely likely that this item is dropped in some BCNM as well. The same thing happened with the Astral Ring a while back as well. The coffers of Oztroja were camped to the point people couldnt do their AF, so SE made the ring a BCNM20 drop. I would keep my eyes open to see what BCNM these will drop from...
Get ur gil Now?

i think that the Price on the boots and pin are going to go up. Y, is that? because supply and demand. As the supply of of these items go down demand goes up and the people that dont have time and have the gil to blow on these items will just buy them paying outrageous prices. So id hold onto the boots and pin just for a while.

I would think that the huge influx of Leaping Boots on the AH is caused from people trying to get their money now. Now that Leaping Lizzy drops a Rare/Ex version. People with Leaping boots are gonna want to get as much as they can now.

ROFL I'm on Siren server: There are constant campers there as you'd suspect. One in paritcular has been camping there since I was just a baby Tarutaru. I asked him why he was still camping, even though it is now a rare/ex item. He doesn't believe me, and he's killed it 15+ times since update, no drop. It's hilarious XD. Still bugs the hell out of me cause I wanna lvl THF with good gear but I can't keep up with these ppl ;;

It's still really bad on the Shiva server too. at least four-five people out there all the time, and usually the same people. {/shake head}

who knows?

Of course the burning question is... how do you get these now? There are many pairs up in the AH, and the price is rapidly dropping. Is this because some people have found a way to obtain them and they are easier to get, or just a bunch of people rushing to sell their old pairs because they're afraid of just that... or want the Rare/EX ones.

Obviously I'll be a bit upset if the cumulative value of my items drops by 1mil or so because they are suddenly easier to get (not to mention in slightly lower demand).
LL Misconception ?

I think that there are some misconceptions about how this will effect our servers. Yes it's true that the gilsellers that monopolized these will be temporarily out of luck till they find something else. However, In all honesty ( as much as I hate HATE the gilsellers ) I'd rather take my chances at outpulling against a gilseller or two that's alwayz there than the 50 people that are so happy now and can get them for themselves. Most people won't even bother trying to camp them because of the gilsellers. Before this update there would be about 1-4 people camping lizzy, now it's like 15 people since the update. It's gonna stay like this for quite sometime too considering that more than likely, players wont get the drop first try and will continue till they do get the drop, multiplied by the amount of people waiting there to get there's also, and the amount of people that are waiting for the current population to subside in that area to get theres. So I'd say it will be a good 6-12 months before most players that need them will get there's and the boots be down to a low-medium camp rate. That's just my opinion though. I will admit that Im glad it happened and I give props to SE... but it's an update that 2-3 years overdue. I'll prolly take my shot at them in a few days even though i already have a pair of the originals. Wouldn't mind getting the hairpin though.
RE: LL Misconception ?
# Jul 22 2005 at 2:53 AM Rating: Decent
Yeah of course that's true, and i'm very please that SE did it, because EVENTUALLY it will give the lowbies their chance. But let's be realistic, sure it will take a couple weeks for the initial excitement to calm down, but lets say im a lvl 15ish job and go there... I camp lizzy , get claim, no drop. Well **** ... guess i'll stay here for the next pop, claimed, no drop, next day, camp, claim no drop. finally after a few more tries i get it. that's 1-4 days just for one person, not including if i get outclaimed. Now with 3-5 people that truly do need it there each day and each person taking more than their first try to get it, statistically it's gonna take a long time for the congestion to go away. 1 month is not enough for 2k people wanting it to get it. the first month will only get about maybe 100 people at the most, as some leave, others will pass by and see it's not so camped so will join in, therefore the number of campers will remain relatively the same. So that's why i said pretty much for the next 6-12 months, it's still gonna be pretty competitve until the majority of people get theirs.

As for me, I have more than one character and will be getting it for my other character, that's why i said I would eventually take a shot at her again. I typically don't liek purchasing stuff that I can farm for and usually well camp until i get what im looking for to save money. So yea i might have a well established character with decent funds, but im not gonna wanna spend it on an emporer hairpin when i can jus go camp it. Yeah it's kinda gay that im 75 and a bunch of lvl 30's that also need it will be there but... in all honesty i need it too for leveling my lower melee jobs.

think about it though, these are RARE/EX, once the 50 people or so that need them camp it...they won't camp it again...same with all the other things that are now RARE/EX...only the ones that want to use it will camp it, then they won't need to camp it again.
The problem before the update was the SAME people camping these SAME NM's and they'd sell the items over and over, so the only way to obtain them would be to buy them (camping against them is hard).
Like the shaman's cloak NM, moldavite earring NM, those guys are hardly camped, eventually that's what LL and VE will be...

The thing about the update is it is a new concept. You have to imagine that the day after a pretty drastic change like this is going to cause people to flock to the areas. Once all of those people that just gave up because there were too many gil sellers have their items, they'll leave and then it should go to a normal number of only a couple. Basically the only people that were ever there at one time was maybe 1 person looking for the item for personal use, and then a handful of gil sellers. get rid of the sellers, and you just have that 1 person again. I'd imagine the number will go down within a week or two.

Yeah im putting gil on the fact that camps will be really conjested. You have your boots though so imho its better to let the lowbies get a shot. You said yourself that you have your normal pair and im sure they served you well. If your profile is accurate your no where near the point where i would think the investment u have in your boots is a huge deal. I know its always good to have liquid gil, and that alot of people get exited over rare/ex but reality is some lowby could really enjoy these boots alot more then i figure you need them.

Don't mean that to be scatheing but its just a reality thing, you want these for the ooo effect or to save some gil. Some 20 something, or anyone who just does not have the gil should be able to camp these and not see someone with the original boots on while camping new ones :P.

I also think that rare/ex items should be 100% drops, just for the sake of sanity.

Gil Sellers are making all of us who love the game make it harder to play. I went to the South Gustaberg and I was trying to camp the lizard. I was having fun using the /shout system and talking to everyone around me camping the lizard. I was only trying to be friendly, then a "greedy" hume told me that I had no chance in getting the boots. I totally was like, "okay whatever, i'm just trying to have fun." He told me that he camped the lizard many times and he got many drops. Probably like 10 times he got the drop. I don't think its fair for everyone who haven't gotten it yet, and who just wanna have fun. I like competition, but its not fair to those who wanna play a game and others just wanna gain gil in real life.

I have a question.
Square Enix said they made changes to the leaping boots item, does anyone know what changed?
leaping boots
# Jul 20 2005 at 8:57 PM Rating: Default
well the only problem i can find with this whole deal is the price of leaping boots is gonna sky-rocket, not because they added the ex item, but because now they are only gonna be gained by questing or whatever and this usually means bcnms. That would make them cheaper if there were no other use for them, whats gonna make the price for these go through the roof is that they are the main ingredient in winged boots. But who cares about wing boots? not me, when i get ready for a pair of cool boots ill just go kill lizzy. and if its over camped? no biggie it wont always be, someday everyone who wants a pair of the new boots will have them. BTW ***** you gil-sellers, ha-ha its about time SE took a decent stab at you, maybe they should just do this with all nm drops, 2 alternatives for the same drop on ex one rare? with the rare in bcnm and the ex off the mob, they might actually put you bastards out of business!

3 ways
# Jul 20 2005 at 3:14 PM Rating: Decent
The update says that Leaping Boots will still be available, meaning you will still be able to obtain Leaping boots that you can sell...Gil sellers and "farmers" will still be able to find those items and sell them, but im sure the price will stay lower since theres a new inflow of the same type item. Lizzy however will only be dropping a pair of ex boots with the same stats. There will just be 3 ways to get items with those stats now: lizzy, buying them, or doing whatever it is to get leaping boots now (bcnm, quest, etc, etc or maybe lizzy drops both >.<)

The good news: RMT's will no longer be camping these so you won't be up against people who spend 24 hours a day professionally camping these things.

The bad news: Unless they changed the drop rate you're still gonna need to claim this thing alot to get the drop. No more real players making gil off these either. Tons of people will be camping these still since they will probably be alot less abundant on the AH. You can see allready ,in the AH, the prices for the boots have dropped several hundred K, but I think they will go back up fast once people realize that getting the Rare/ex is still not gonna be easy.

I think it is about time that SE did this as well. NM Drops should be "Exclusive" or should become "bound" to your account and all the characters within.

Said drops should only be able to be sold at NPC's and if you are, lets say, 20+ levels above the NM you should not get the drop.

I don't have a problem with farming (unless there are people trying to level in the area, then I stear clear of the area), but I do have a large problem with Gil Sellers and their ways.

I just have one question since I cannot get on to even start the update ... here goes ...

Being as these things (Leaping Boots) are now "Rare" can I still send them back and forth through the "Delivery System" to my other characters who use them??

As per the update on July 18, Leaping Boots are no longer dropped by Leaping Lizzy. There is a new item instead that is EX that she drops with the same stats.
