I have read people say Dusk > Unicorn and Amir > Dusk/Unicorn and so-on, but they haven't explained why Amir is better.
I know that the HP Latent on Unicorn will give reason for people to debate Dusk over Unicorn, but I want to know why people suggest Amir over both.
In one thread I actually read that Amir was just the poor-man's foot choice.
Most of this I did read on BG, but it is hard to get a straight answer from that website w/out constant derail and flame. I'd check into KI but that website is still too slow for my patience. I have not checked Alla WAR thread yet.
Thanks for any advice and reasoning.

Dusk > Unicorn > Amir

From my point of view the Amir boots are better since I prefer to use my great axe and eat meat or other attack food. If I were to use 1 handed axe and eat sushi the majority of my time, then I could see an advantage in TPing in Dusk, and switching to Amir for WS.

Its specifically Amir Vs Dusk. (its only 1 page long),I can't tell if what any of them have to say is general Alla garbage or if any of it is worth taking advice on?

Dusk and Unicorn gear is going to plummet in the next few months.

You dont have to read it. All I gathered out of it was just similar statements to what Solymir had to say. It came down to Meat Vs Sushi and whether or not somebody has capped merits.
I'll just play around with what I have now before I work on points for Amir or trying to upgrade Ares feet. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-08-2008, 02:47 PM | #9 (permalink) | | Pointy Stick Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 1,927 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 428 Thanked 333x in 206 Posts Gil: 10,968 Bank: 42,067 Total Gil: 53,035 Donate | Re: Feet: Dusk, Unicorn, Amir Originally Posted by Sevv | | but he is asking what the best is not what he should get for the time being | yeah, I agree Amir is best for the time being... but if you spend the money on either of the other two right now you're throwing your money away.
It's one thing to get blindsided like DRGs did with the Mezraq... it's another thing to see the market trend and go through with it anyway.
No reason to not get either of them in two months.

just remember for every player that thinks they have the most 'leet' gear, there's another player that thinks they're a gimp or an idiot.

pre-bonanza announcement, there was 1 hide up on the AH. two nights ago there were 21 at one point. the price has gone from 800k to 520k. It's hit and miss but a lot of servers are starting to trend that way.
rank 4 is guaranteed with 10 characters. the wife and I can guarantee a win without even touching our mains. most people have figured that out already. I wouldn't be surprised if hides drop by 50% until after august.

"The Mog Bonanza is a number-guessing game in which you pick a five-digit number of your choice, kupo.
Playing is simple! Purchase a Mog Bonanza marble (*1) from a Bonanza Moogle at designated areas (*2), then have the vendor inscribe your desired five-digit number on it, kupo. If you can't decide on a number, we moogles will be more than happy to pick one for you. The winning numbers will be announced at a later date, so sit tight and leave the rest to Lady Luck, kupo! "
5 digit number
so for instance 17000 or 99999 and in order to get the rank 4 prize you have to have the last 2.
Which means the winning numbers could be:
89736 or 99
Which means there are 100 possiblilties just for rank 4 so 1:100 to win rank 4 | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-08-2008, 03:18 PM | #15 (permalink) | | Pointy Stick Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 1,927 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 428 Thanked 333x in 206 Posts Gil: 10,968 Bank: 42,067 Total Gil: 53,035 Donate | Re: Feet: Dusk, Unicorn, Amir Originally Posted by Sevv | | Which means there are 100 possiblilties just for rank 4 so 1:100 to win rank 4 | yeah... but 10 chances per character = 10 characters to guarantee a win.
