Sea Torques

[etchdog2000]

I been away from the game awhile and I dont know much about sea gods. Are any shells selling the Sea Torques yet? If so how much would they go for? A mill? a few mill?

 

[Cloudxz]

I don't think any linkshell would be selling them due to how rare they are and the difficulty of getting the pop items for the jailers.

 

[Necrosis]

Most shells never reach the point of selling gear due to the fact that, whether they'll use it or not, most people won't turn down good/free gear. Torques have a pretty lame drop rate in my experience, as well. Sea torques aren't anything incredibly special; they're marginal at best. Just buy a cock charm and try to get into a sea shell, and you'll receive the torque eventually.

Well the Scythe one is pretty smexy +7 skill, +5 Str, that pretty much beats anything for TPing or WSing. I didnt know they were such a shitty drop rate.

The real issue is I dont have but 1 day I can actually for sure be on, I am just trying to see there are any possible ways to buy some of the harder things to get that I want. Long shot I know, but figured I would at least pose the question.

Well, I can pretty much guarantee you that no shell would sell you a justice torque anywhere near in the future since it's like the only zomgwtfbbq-torque down there.

Unless maybe if you pay 50mil or whatnot.


[edit]

Well, Love Torque is the fucking shit to... but yeah. Dont need dagger skill for THF knife and af2 gloves to work
And dont get started on the polearm shit lawl.

Sometimes my old shell would go 1/10 or more for torques.

What they said about not ever selling it.

Though I have to question your OP... "A mill? a few mill?" Nobody's going to buy it for a lumber mill, or even a few of them.

Actually, they're significantly better than PCC, and that sells for 2-3 mil, so taking into account inflation of HQ price, difficulty of popping the upper teir jailers (Justice being among them), etc... Probably up in the range of HQ cursed gear.

I thought they had a much better drop rate, like 30-60%. Apparently I was way off base.

EDIT: Another question, kind of on topic. How often to sea shells pop the upper tier jailers? I dont pretend to know much if anything about sea gods and how they work. I assumed the upper tier jailers would be popped maybe once a week by good sea shells? But alas I was wrong, I thought the torques would somewhat be common pieces for sea shells that have been crackin it for a good while.

eh, ~-3acc hit, 7atk, and a mostly worthless attribute isn't what I'd classify as "significant".

Sea Torques are nuts for the jobs that make the best usage out of them. Love Torque + Dagger merits = crazy.

 

[Stouter]

That one drops from a 2nd tier jailer, along with the prudence torque (INT+5, Gswd+7, Club+7)

Justice is damn sexy for anyone with SAM or DRK, and you'll see any sea shell with an abundance of people that have one job or the other at 75 that they want to pimp out. Prudence is great for DRK and BLM, and again, any sea shell will have a lot of people with both jobs.

Any shell that does the 2nd tier jailers enough that they are willing to sell them will also be able to do jailer of love, which only a few shells on our server have actually popped, let alone do regularly.

So I assume you as thf and rng wont lot on a Love Torque, Hope Torque or Faith Torque when/if you get the chance then?
Since AGI isn't good for rng, and DEX isn't good for thf. And MND wont help your holy bolts.
I gotta agree that the mnd isn't all that, but if you're using a crossbow and holy bolts to gain TP, it's still the better piece.

But that's just me.

Anyone who lots on Faith Torque for the MND alone needs a smack.

EDIT: Then again, I need a smack for forgetting about the Marksmanship skill. Carry on.

Faith torque has a somewhat better drop rate from what I seen, fortitude seems to have the worse. However with the exception of faith all seem to be very very rare. current record on faith is 4/8 on torque.

Well, can't really take that and say its true for everyone. We're 1/12 on Faith while 4/7 on Hope. Also have a pretty good drop rate on Fortitude at 4/10. Drop rates or torques aren't all THAT bad, but its mainly about luck.

wow 4/10 I we like 0/10 on fortitude.

FYI, CmdrFly split the topics, so I'll post my reply in the other one.

 

[Skaw]

Well, I just left the window open and typed it up as I finished, so there was no refreshing.

 

[CmdrFly]

Just moved your post above Vil's over.

I said "mostly," lol. I didn't say that all of the attributes on all torques were completely worthless, did I?
