were bahamut's hose and dune boots added to PUP in a recent maintenance patch? I dont recall them being equippable when I scanned equips PUP could use when the expansion launched (using somepage mainly). If so, are there any other notable equips that have been added since the initial launch?

Also, has anyone been BCNMing for the Cestus Belt or Wrestler's Mantle? They just arent available on the AH ever, with wrestlers not having been listend a single time on Siren. I'd love to see some strats for these fights, as I think these equips look to be very superior choices to most other gear.

No Wrestler's Mantle has ever been listed on Pandy, either.

What is the sale price for this on servers that actuall do have mantles that sell?

I'm gonna stay 30 a while and just do ENM and escorts >_> unless I just wanna have fun.

Does having +skill gear actually make a difference to when you get WS? I think this belt would be nice to have for the acc/atk but I don't think subbing MNK for it is better then subbing WAR for Berserk.

found a strat for the /mnk mantle BCNM:

"Wrestler's mantle appears to be a rare drop off Grove Guardians BC30. I'm going to attempt going into this again with 3 lv30 PUP's and standard backline of mages. A key to remember in this BC is that the 2 smaller saplings appear to be TP linked, as they will do the same ws in time with each other. The big one can be silenced.

Oh, and when you do this BC, use poison pots BEFORE You engage. On my first attempt, the smaller saplings opened with slumber powder....we were pretty much done then. Also, this BC doesn't appear to be SMN burnable, since each flow only does approx. 15-25% (high damage variance) to each sapling. Best way IMO is to have a pup duo (with their puppet) each sapling seperately, have a rdm stick silence on the big one, then just slowly take each sapling down.

Other notes:
The saplings resist sleep
Only the large sapling can be silenced
Favorite TP move of teh saplings appears to be slumber powder"

KI PUP gear post

the Cestus belt comes from a 3 man BCNM, and i think you can do one that drops Lizzie Boots and the Gun Belt as well.
