This is for anyone who is planning on camping leaping lizzy for money.

YOU CANT!!!!! argh i log on today and try to get lizzy. some guy gets bounding boots and hes like WTF IS THIS?? another person, someone in my LS said he was gonna go camp him, he needed some gil, i was like wtf. the same day in bastok i heard some guy asking how for how much leaping boots go for in jeuno cause he was thinking about getting them off lizzy and selling them. once again, WTF

Leaping Lizzy does NOT DROP leaping boots, but an EX item that you cant trade or sell, but has the same stats!!! i cant stand how many people still think lizzy drops leaping boots. its astonishing how much attention people pay to whats going on in the game around them. all i want are bounding boots for me thf, and half the people camping then dont even know that they cant sell them. this is outrageous. IM UPSET. not because people are camping lizzy, but people who dont even want the drop are camping it and they dont even know it.this should be common knowledge by now.

it can still drop leaping boots i think... just very rare. >.>

... or at least from what i've heard

eriatarka · 12-08-2005, 05:56 PM

im almost possitive to the 6th power that its only in BCNM. what a cheesy line..

x1ang · 12-08-2005, 05:59 PM

hmm.. you may be right somepage and alla lists leaping boots as only a BCNM drop. my ls was saying that it was a really rare drop, but it could still drop off leaping lizzy. not sure anymore again x]

eriatarka · 12-08-2005, 06:05 PM

one thing you have to keep in mind, the whole reason for that patch was to stop gil sellers from monopolizing certain drops ( leaping boots, hairpin, archers rings etc.) if lizzy still dropped it what would be the point of the patch?

bikkebakke · 12-08-2005, 06:12 PM

It doesn't drop leaping boots. It drops a rare/ex version called bounding boots. Same stats but non-tradeable/sellable.

eriatarka · 12-08-2005, 06:20 PM

this is what gets me.. x1ang seems like a decent guy and a well rounded player who uses his recourses well ( checked somepage and everything ) and wasnt sure about it. Its not like its a thing where its just noobs. even people who are great players and browse forums all the time still dont know >_< just so frustrating for me

Double Post Edited:
POL should have a thing you can read on the download screen that tellls you exactly whats being updated, right there on the download screen. alot of people dont feel like going all over the place, would be a nice feature

Jei · 12-08-2005, 06:39 PM

the drop was changed back a couple updates before. To counter the monopolizers (botters)

x1ang · 12-08-2005, 07:05 PM

Ooo i got tricked... gonna have to have a word with some people hehe ^_^

Aeni · 12-08-2005, 08:09 PM

I feel your pain eriaka ... I saw this JP player camping VE and full on God Gear (75 MNK) ... some NA player got claim of VE and celebrated drop. JP player then thought player was going to sell ... when he checked the player and saw that it was rare/ex, he was shocked.

So it's not just NA players ... JP players as well.

eriatarka · 12-08-2005, 08:34 PM

another thing i forgot to mention is that i also really hate people who camp WITH EFFING boots on... thats not too common though. i usualy ask if ther ecamping with anyone and if they say no i have to explain to them how the whole rare thing works and i tell them to put it in their mog... now though its not a big deal for lizzy ^_^;

aegina · 12-08-2005, 08:59 PM

if you already have the leaping boots, you can camp lizzy for the bounding ones and sell your old leaping boots. that may be what your ls friend meant when he said he would go camp lizzy fo gil

Kagerou · 12-08-2005, 09:44 PM

Leaping+Bounding boots are so over-rated to begin with >.>
I'll only use it on a THF but I'll rather not waste my time camping a rare/ex item (or even the over-priced leaping) for a mediocre at best stat boots.

Auron517 · 12-09-2005, 04:11 AM

Leaping/Bounding Boots do give good stats for it's level, but yeah they're over rated terribly.

The damn things are current 1.8 mil on the Jueno AH in Kujata. That is entirely too much.

Jei · 12-09-2005, 05:38 AM

over-rated or not, it is the only foot gear that gives you 3dex 3agi for well over 60 levels. Actually, I don't think no other boots give this same stat at all. So depends, if you want dex and agi then it is the only boot choice you can use for a long long time. not counting wing boots which needs leaping boots to make anyway.

I personally think it is still an excellent boots for thf and rng. It seems popular among other DD too but for me it's not that important in this case.
