    Re: Black Belt

    Tell that guy to go die in a fire. I would've taken 100K for a piece over the prices I spent.

    3.5M total for mine. My adamantoise egg was 1.5M of that.

    And the only reason I didn't camp it myself is because most of the time, I was unable to get anyone out there to help with NQ. That, and for some reason, when I got people out there, days 1-3 were PACKED.

    If you can find someone who'd sell a BB Item for 100k then go for it.
    usually people here pay around the 1m mark.

    P.S. 100k each item to make it worth losing my lol e-rep.
    Eh, just a personal preference. I got a Behe Tongue for free once and tossed it when I learned the people who gave it to me were RMT. I have no illusions most players care to the same extent, because I know I can get ridiculous about it.

    Re: Black Belt

    100k? You lucky shit. I'd be lying if said the unreasonable price of BB items wasn't at least half of why I still don't have one. 1m+ doesn't seem reasonable when it'll go to a lvl 1 MNK or be tossed otherwise.

    While I personally would rather actually fight a difficult monster to get the items than get them for cash or free as some favor, I don't think less of people who buy them (unless they bought gil or something.)

    Re: Black Belt

    All monks should simply level BLM as their first job like me. Join a HNMLS, be actually useful in a king fight, get itamz. Then you level monk as a taru, hated by the rest of the monk community for levelling into BB when all you've really done is plan in advance.

    Too bad leveling into BB isn't actually possible.

    You knew what I meant, I had BB as soon as the quest was available at 71.

    Re: Black Belt

    So many people here paid for their BB items? I got mine for free, and I wasn't in any endgame shells during that time either. I just asked.

    Granted it was three years ago, and HNMs weren't as crowded back then as it is now, but also a lot of the nice HNM leaders has quit since then.

    100k though? That's practically free in my eyes.

    Usually sell those for upwards of 1.5mil to people when we're doing KS99 runs. 100k is a fucking steal.

    Resourceful approach, tons of merits and some new friends I bet.

    Re: Black Belt

    Free, Free... and Free.

    I also made the mistakes of leaving my XP pt right when I hit 70 to go get my belt, and I wasn't able to get it.

    And I screamed on Vent in LS chat so much that night. Ugh.

    100k per item is a steal, seriously. But camping out with a linkshell, and going after initial adds from pull with 2hr is not only a good way to get them to help you out (item), it's a good way to possibly get into the linkshell in general.
