Warlock's Boots  

Ok these Boots are killing me, ive been trying to get them for like 3days now, i cant get into the tower, **Chaetupu Oll'agulge ((or how ever u spell it))
Well imma 52rdm with rank 2 and on mission 2-3, but i cant get anyone to help, no one ever likes doing tht mission, **Ohmover/Bismrack sever**
Word of ADVICE: get rank 3, its a MUST have, dont let any ppl tell u its not, cuz one of my best friends, wouldnt help me, he was saying i didnt need it, well hes stupid, and ull need it, trust me!

These boots make me quite happy. The +10 vs Water make poison harder to stick, which is always a plus in a PL or even EXP situation. We all remember the way Crawler's spam AoE Poison.

On the downside of the boots, the quest is a {Bio}**h. I received my key while partying in Crawler's Nest back with WHM. Now, after beginging RDM, I'm happy I saved it. Walked in and went to the Labrynth Lizard room and figured it'd be a safe room to camp, for the simple fact Lizzies' don't aggro. Silly RDM! These do! Died once from 20 Lizzies whilst an alliance of JPs laughed at me. Lovely, eh? This time I approached it to look everywhere in this God forsaken zone. So with trust Refresh, Sneak, and Invisible, I searched all Crawler's Nest for 4 hours straight. Finally found the chest thanks to going the wrong way. Now just waiting at the ??? At (I-8) waiting for it to be midnight in Japan. Good thing its 4am and I have 20 hours to wait. XD To all RDMs out there looking to bury these; Good luck! You'll need it. And if you're on the Seraph server send me a tell. =) I'll help.

Just buried my boots today.

heres the thing, Save yourself lots of time and trouble with this little note.

while at levels 48-49 try to get your party to go the the "Rumble" room of CN. I'm not sure exactly where it is cause I didnt have a map (WHICH YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS QUEST. You do need a printer and the internet) Anyway, doing this will allow you to gain exp while waiting for the drop. I partied for about 4 hours and it only dropped once. This sent me and the other rdm into a daze, since neither of us were expecting it. I lucked out and my cast was higher, and i got the key.Getting the key is by far the most difficult part of the task, so if ur in a exp party killing the stuff that drops it, its a win/win situation.

Also, sneak, inv will be ur best friend. The only point I got aggro was when I had to take inv off to unlock the chest, which only took 30 mins or so of looking, my sneak wore off while i was standing there looking stupid getting the blood. Dont try to open the chest with the key if u dont have the quest from Sandy. You will only get regular items, not what you need.

Although i was for the most part disappointed with AF1 (but i was like lvl 47 when i got the sword, and I dont care to melee. If i did i'd pick a job that did more damage.) and I hope that these boots wont disappoint either.

Elvaan RSE adds about 20 MP and some other stuff. And even with my complete RSE gear I still am under most other races MP. So I dont know if i will wear them. But hey its artifact, PG2! (pimp gear 2)

I took this opportunity to completely explore CN. This place is pretty cool the deaper you go. Invis overwrites itself, so Wesps weren't really a problem. But stupid water elementals everywhere was forcing me to use prism's.

At any rate, this was easilly done. Had key for a long time already, just needed to find chest. I've done rse for ppl so many times, I have gotten pretty good at finding them. Found a chest in one of the deeper parts, well past the Labrynith lizzies. Got the blood, buried it along with the boots. Came back a day later and got my first of many pieces to come.

I don't care if ppl think the stats suck. I'm very happy to have obtained my boots. They are far from worthless from a solo standpoint. The defense is way better than my rse. MP is always good. The extra water defense will help against poison happy mobs, which there are plenty of. And our shield skill for the most part is lacking. So any little bit helps while soloing.

Does anyone have a website that is just about RDM's AF? I have being searching high and low and have come empty handed (¬_¬)
I'm not saying this is not good information just want a RDM website..

I spent about 30 minutes yesterday, but realised I went way too deep (Where the Wespes are).

I got aggro from a Wespe because Invis ran out (Was between Rumble Crawlers and Wespes). It checked at Very Tough. So with no where to run I had to fight it lol. Sleep, Sleep II, Bind & Gravity are your friends. I just Slept it, rested, healed up for a little, then nuked it (With gravity on). Repeated this for about 15 minutes. It was at about 20-25% when another popped next to it. I tried Sleep, Sleep II, Gravity & Bind, but it resisted all. So I died and logged off.

So I logged on this morning before work. I found the Chest in the exoray room, after about 10 minutes looking. Burried the Blood & Boots, now just waiting until I get home to dig them up!

Also, before I died, I took a wrong turn and ended up in Rolanberry Fields where I spotted Drooling Daisy. No Drop, but this site says she is lvl 30ish... I got 18exp at lvl 50 (Although, It was INCREDIBLY easy, ended with full health, adn half MP... and thats only because I nuked the last 50% of its HP.

The Nest Chest key is really easy to obtain during xp parties but if unfortunate enough not to get one, have same person help you get key when you return for your Limit Break 1 items, if again, luck wasn't with you during parties in CNest. I personally reccommend fighting more exorays and flies for it. Once you get the key here's a link to map of chest spawn points:

Once you've obtained key item from chest, go back to "Balls room" and take the North passage that leads down to another level in the Nest. For those of you who don't have a map: If you're standing at the ledge over (facing) balls room, drop down and it should be the second tunnel farthest from you on the RIGHT.

Just keep going straight until you hit the scorpion, then the tunnel with ??? is direcly behind him, there should be a soldier crawler somewhere near it...if low enough lvl take proper precautions. That's it...either zone or log and wait until after 12am JST.
