Haste Question
Im still very new to the monk class and really to know this. I have noticed alot of higher up monks do not have a haste item......so it leads me to the question, are the purple & brown belts worth it?
:confused:

I have the purple belt, and I do not notice the haste at all. I do however notice the strength boosts. IMO, I don't think it's worth 30k(Midgardsormr), but if you have nothing else to buy and have spare cash, why not. It'll last you a while. -
It's the best belt out there untill level 36 (I think) for any melee, so go ahead and pick it up, it's worth the money.
And I notice the haste a little bit, but untill you get the brown belt (+18%) it's not too noticable.~30 MNK~ ~15 THF~ ~33 RNG ~9 SAM~ ~8 DRK~ ~7 WHM~ ~6 BRD~

Purple belt has dropped to around 17-20k on Gilgamesh, and for that sort of price, if you can get it, I'd say it is worth it.*Characters*

I would hate to think FFXI is turning out like EQ weapon farming.Comment

You get it from a quest which requires you to kill 2 NM's for rare items, this can be done Solo at level 40..
I got mine for only 10k!
Costed twice as much in Windurst so if any of you are starting to farm for it, buy in Jueno..!MNK75,WAR44,WHM37,THF37,NIN37,SAM31,BLM21,PLD26,RNG10,BST16

You need to turn in the horns from the two big sheep. The NM version of Battering Ram and Tremor Ram. Off the top of my head I don't remember what their rare spawned names are but if they aren't what I just said then that's them. Battering Ram in La Thein and Tremor Ram in Kont. Highlands. And I also believe you can only do the quest once (?) from the Nin faction people in Bastok, so I'd hardly call it farming. Lastly the Brown Belt is +8% not 18. ;/ Sorry. But don't despair there are also boots with 3% haste if you're looking for a little more speed. They're lvl 40.75Mnk/37thf/38war/32whm Retired

Brown Belt isn't worth the 300k or so in the Auction House. If you can kill the 3 required NMs for it instead then go ahead but personally, I'd prefer to use Life Belt.I really should thank you for it afterall it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life.....Purpose of life, is to end.

The haste effect is hardly noticable but it is a little bonus and alot of little bonuses help alot. I love my purple belt. Cant beat 2def, 2 (or is it 3?) str. the haste effect is just extra
I love my tiger stole too :-)Comment
