New Cheap Alternative to Poison Potions

[Sumiko]

:D Thanks for this info!!

[drwaffles]

4,620 gil for an hour's worth of Refresh... not sure if it's really worth the extra inventory space, the cost (which would add up over time), the perpetual (albeit small) Poison effect and the hassle of having to keep using a new one every 120 seconds. Also consider that you're losing 6-12% -PDT from Umbra Cape in your idle setups, as well as the fact that you won't be getting the Refresh 100% of the time since you'll be casting most spells in a different back piece. Let's not even get into how much effort it takes to get a PTC in the first place...

Regardless, it sure beats Poison pots for sleep immunity... I hate buying poison pots for things like that, feels like it's burning a hole in my wallet. These are awesome.

[Kaslo]

I was duped!

Don't worry LM-17 is coming soon! heyo!

Pudding.

See, I can respond with unrelated nouns too.

[Jeryhn]

Fuck.

Now I have to go get myself a Taster's Cape.

Thanks.

Don't be stupid. Full timing the pdt cape is even more retarded than full timing taster's cape. If I had to choose it would refresh any time.

[Nightfyre]

Don't be stupid.

Hahahaha. Brb, found myself a sig.

Anyway, nobody here (other than you, apparently) was seriously considering fulltiming either piece so pointless post was pointless. The OP, on the other hand... nice info, glad it's not considered a food effect.

[Khajit]

Then i guess you fuckers need to be idling in darksteel harnesses and Louhi's masks on RDM.

Where did I mention full-timing anything? Shut up.

[Thorny]

0/194 QQTH, time to idle in a darksteel harness+1 and spend a week in beadeaux(s)

[Omniyoji]

Come on guys we all know different gear for different situations. Thanks for the info OP.

Not really unrelated, if nothing else it can help with the popping every 2 minutes part, I have something similar in my WAR one that pops a mithkabob every time I gain XP then engage a mob while having no food effect on.

If you have the inventory room for Poison Taster's Cape, you are probably missing other important things.

The comment was still kinda stupid. Does Duelist chappy suck because you wont have it on fulltime? Morrigan body sucks because you might have Relic body in your precast? Might wear something different for enhancing?wear golliard body for lower recast on spells that arent affected by the morrigan?
Your logic presented doesn't conflict with what is written above. At the end of the day it's still extra refresh.

[Beave]

Sure you're not going to wanna fulltime the cape, and won't use it 24/7, but for stuff like einherjar or maybe salvage if you get a back/waist cell before body or head it'd be nice.

Also if everyone in the alliance is wearing cape with poison effect, you weaken meteor damage by 14%.

[lotmorning]

Does it give you a food icon? Because I'd rather stick to poison pots if going against a boss that can dispel food effects.

No it does not give the food icon, the only icon I received was a poison icon. If it can be dispelled along with other foods from bosses I do not know sorry.

He didn't say that. He said the Refresh obviously isn't as useful as it would be on paper. That, along with wasted inventory space, unnecessary cost, and depleted HP (hi2u damaged Stoneskin), makes it rather unfavorable to actually use. To be honest, I would never touch this solo simply because I prefer to not have Stoneskin needlessly wasted.

If you're desperate for Refresh and not doing something that is actually important and requires having useful gear in your inventory, and don't mind the extra the cost, by all means..it won't help you that much.

I'll stick to my -6%/-12% PDT, though.

Did you even read my post? Does other Refresh gear cost gil per tick of MP, take up multiple inventory spaces, or give a -1hp/tick penalty? No. They're not comparable. In fact, the combination of the cape and the poison is more comparable to Sublimation than Refresh.
