Abjs: Buy HQ if possible? (Especially for harder to obtain o

[Shuvo]

There's always something else to spend it on, the only HQs I have are a cerb mantle +1, a bow and an HQ sniper and I'm sure the tell log about my gear easily dwarfs yours, as if it mattered in the first place (the fact that the tells make it worth it in the first place is laughable).

And I love bagel.

Point of me saying that was in response to him saying nobody cared about HQ.

[Ryko]

"No one in their right mind should care about HQ's that mean nothing but cost an arm and a leg"*

Better?

[Ferien]

Zenith Mitts are a used Camry, Zenith Mitts +1 are a BMW.
Crimson Cuisses are a Honda Civic, Blood Cuisses are a Honda Civic with spinners and type-R sticker.

This is the correct response.

Again, if you already have all the non r/e stuff you want, you may as well go through and start getting HQ (or level another job). Whatever makes you happy.

HP +2, MP +2, Fire +1, Lightning +1, Water +1, Dark +1

Thats the difference between cuisses and cuisses-1.

Buying that doesn't make you the best, it makes you an idiot. There is no-one rich enough to make that a worthwhile purchase at the price it costs you. Its no different than buying a pair of jeans for $600 or something.. those who do it think they are cool, while everyone else thinks otherwise.

Just b/c you're poor doesn't mean everyone else is. W.leg+1 is pimp, not worth the cost sure, but if you have the money and nothing else to spend it on, why not? You're wrong in saying that nobody cares, I have the HQ and I get sooo many /tells of people admiring my gear. That alone makes it worth it, for me.

My town gear (RDM is my only job):

I also have a HP armor set which lets me break 2k hp as a hume RDM, which I got just for shits and giggles :D

I wish. Quit Dynamis after doing it full time for a year and was still 0/5. ._.

If I had 60,000 dollars and wanted to buy a BMW, but I only "needed" to have a Honda to get to and from work, would you think less of me because I purchased the BMW?

end the thread. We have a winner.

Oh and I'll see your spinners and add the rear window static sticky graphic of the flag of mexico and bobblehead jesus on the dashboard for zenith slacks+1.

Basically any piece which increases how one performs at the main task can be justified.

Zmitts+1 are slightly better than nq for blms.
Armada Hauberk is slightly better than nq.
Shura body/head/legs all slightly better than their nq counterparts.
Heca +1 cap/body/hands/legs/feet are all still peak WS gear for most jobs that can wear it.
Most Blood gear is not worth it, the exception being hands maybe? The only thing most piece are useful for is convert.

Before anyone says "nobody has enough money to spend so much for such a small upgrade", we have people here working on their second relic weapon, so...yea, some people do. What else is gil useful for, than to buy things?

I don't understand why there were posts after this one, other than a possible QFT train.

Because a QFT train will get you banned.

I was under the impression that QFTing Bagel quotes wasn't just not-ban-worthy, but in fact encouraged. That amount of win can never wear out.

[Byrd]

no, wyrmal legs and aquarian body are definitely not worth the effort for a HQ. Unless you're a whitebox freak (and more power to ya, wish I had that gil lying around)

Hey now. Some of us have Blood Cuisses because we made them ourselves with our second ever cursed synth. That being said, I would have never, ever spent the money on them if I hadn't made them myself. ~3M for HP +2, MP +2, Fire +1, Lightning +1, Water +1, Dark +1? No thanks. 75k which was the difference between the cost off AH and the cost to make them myself? OK. It's 3 million I could have potentially earned, but it's not 3 million I had to spend. Am I the only who frequently sees shouts in Whitegate of people trying to sell Cursed Cuisses -1?

The only T1 Wyrmal abjuration I would consider being useful would be W.Hands. And even that's iffy. W.Feet maybe if I weren't a RDM primary, but I would imagine there's better foot gear for everything else out there.

But even rich people don't need the HQ gear. I vote if you're rich enough to spend on trivial stat increases, then that money should instead be taxed and pooled to the bottom feeders of society. You know, the ones wearing Wise gear or full AF at 75, etc.

[Byrd]

You know, the ones wearing Wise gear, etc.

You can't fix stupid.

Yeah, that is more of a fundamental problem of understanding nothing about how your job works.
