There are 3 choices for lv 20 polearm. There's the cruel spear, the fuscina, and this platoon lance. IMO this is probably the best one. Usually the platoon weapons aren't the best (excluding the dagger and this). I would probably either pick this one or the cruel spear...once i get my drg to 20. Current lv is 13. I would probably pick this if it's not too expensive.
Just did the BCNM last night, got this... I asked someone in my LS to look @ it in jeuno, 15k. I was like " Aww I got jipped ; ; ". Looked at it in Sandy, 30k lol *sold* . (Carbuncle server)
Should have looked at the price in Bastok or Windy >_> maybe could have gotten more... O well.
I got this for 15k in Jeuno, went to Bastok and found it was 38k on AH. Wow, my Economics tacher is going to love this game. :P
If you can get this, do so, because it will last you to lvl thirty, then go ahead and sell this to buy, unless you're San d'Orian, for a Royal Squire's Halberd. Same Damage less delay. That's 10 whole lvls ^^!
(hades) what i did is to get my sandy fame to lvl 3 (people are talking about you) i then got drain sold that for 80k to a friend BLM (its 80k in AH anyway) then i bought one (80k AH) there u go easy
LOL funny how everyone has been saying it cost 80k-100k i got this thing for 15k (same price as a bought leaping boots) maybe i buy stuff rite wen a idiot sells it for a low price. I think im rele lucky lol.
I remember like 4-5 months or more ago this item really did sell for 100-120k. I know because at the time I my drg was at about that lvl. I can't explain how or why the price dropped on all servers so dramatically. Perhaps the drop rate went up enough to where everyone was getting one.
Either way...too bad the prices doesn't go down on other items like the emp hairpin. It's like 900k in Bahamut now. Last summer it was 200k. ; ;
DRG16/WAR8- My traveler's mantle(s) probably sold over night already... [ 100k a pop ] one mantle for a platoon lance ^_^ I camp spook yup.. My main is SAM50/WAR25 SAM50 WAR30 DRG16 THF12 NIN8 PLD6 RNG5
My LS have been trying to get this lance by bcnm 20 <bats> got slaughter like 10 times + <we have no SMN or BST> anyway Yesterday we have 2 SMN with ramuh and me PLD to go in it's was easy pray fight 2 SMN 2hour with judgement bolts like 2 times on one another did 1 time i tank all 3 bats and use invincible <rocks> we meet up every 2 hour to do it ^^
Ok, I'd just like to say that the Platoon Lance is nowhere near as good as everyone is making it out to be.
Yes, it has 37 damage, however, it also has 492 delay. To prove this, let's take a look at the damage/delay ratio compared to the Cruel Spear.
The Platoon Lance's 37damage / 492 delay = 0.075203... The Cruel Spear has 29 damage and 385 delay for a damage/delay ratio of 0.075324... Therefore, the Cruel Spear dishes out more damage over time, even without considering its additional effect.
I could be wrong, though. I may not fully understand the dynamics of how a Dragoon's wyvern works. If anybody can reply with legit reasoning why this is, in fact, better than the cruel spear, then I'm open to hearing it.
It'a not too special when you first get it, but once you hit 25 and head to Yuhtunga for mandies it's percing effect hits the mandies super hard. I've double thrusted for over 120 with 100% tp using this baby. Also it looks badass (b^_^)b
I have been dong the BCNM20 once a day for about a week and have received this lance about 4 or 5 times. dunno if the update made this more accessible but it now strikes me as the not so rare lance on the Quincy server. Went to sell this at the AH and I believe they had 12 or more in stock for around 80k and declining. If these drop at a more common rate I cans see the price dropping drastically.
I can't find any of these at an AH on Seraph, anyone have one to sell? I can pay the full price, I just can't ever find one for sale. If you want to sell yours to me contact either Cenebi or Shoes.
I scrapped togther 70k on fenrir sever for this bad *** lance, well worth it. Not only is it good for leveling, but most of the quest that have level caps dont start till you hit 20, so this is a very nice weapon for the occasion.
