This is a good item, my AT was at 150 from many years ago but that still gave this item reasonable stats.
As a Mage, I'm lucky to have Bristlebane's Bundle to summon stacks of ale.
Didn't take to too long to raise AT. Whenever I was waiting for MGBs in Lobby, I kept on guzzling ale. Great to watch those stats creeping up and up!
With AT at about 360, the stats maxed out as shown above. Haven't bothered to raise begging above 54.
Typical price in Bazaar much less than quoted above, though I got one in my guild bank
