My mage would rather have the Advisor robe's 5int 20mana than this overpriced robe. They're going for 300-600pp on 7th hammer, as opposed to a 2-3k BCR.

No thsi is much better. at higher lvls the 20+ mana will do nothing for you so the extra Intellegnce is pretty nice evn if it is only 1. plus this raises your cold and charisma.

Actually, the prievious poster is right, and you are mistaken. At higher levels, mana is far better than intelligence, once the 200int softcap is hit. After that point, 1 int is only 1 mana. Even before that level, 20 mana is still better than 1 int. At level 60, 1 int is 12 mana, and only 6 mana at level 30. If it were for a chanter, the Charisma would be an important factor, but for a mage, not so much. The save cold is the real deciding factor.

Really, the two robes are about equal, but have different strengths. IMHO

RE: chanter stuff
# Nov 15 2001 at 9:35 PM Rating: Default
not a critisism about the point but why do people spell stupid st00pid
1. it takes more letters
2. it looks "st00pid" lol
3. you could just as easily say stoopid if you wanted too.
People are so wierd sometimes, but i guess everybody is a bit.

I love this robe
# Jun 10 2001 at 8:47 AM Rating: Decent
I had some guy randomly give my Mage on Terris-Thule this robe for free when I was in CB. Loved the look more than anything else, but the stats were good too.
To make a long story short, after a bit, someone came up to me and offered me an Eye of Melnor for the robe. I turned him down. He didn't want to quit, and he offered me a Frozen Mantle and the robes off his back (Robe of the Oracle). So I agreed.
Anyone out there think I got ripped off quality wise? It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I hate the look of the Oracle compared to the BCR.

In terms of stats useful to you, the trade wasn't so bad. The +mana from the robe of the oracle will be nice once you get Int maxxed. However, from a plat perspective, he got the better deal. Eye =1kpp (why did you want it? wis doesn't help a mage), robe of oracle= 500pp, frozen mantle =50pp. BCR 3Kpp+ The math favors him greatly.

if someone gives you something for free, your not getting ripped off if you give your gift item away are you?

I dunno about the other servers, but these things are very sought after on VZ. They normally go for 5k, but the lowest I have seen them is 3k. On VZ, Velious isnt nearly as crowded as Kunark, so I guess they worth more simply because not as many higher lvl people are farming them...thus the ones who do get them can easily sell to a lower lvl chanter for atleast 3k. And, I dont care what ya say, these things look HOT!!!

price is way off
# Jun 01 2001 at 6:07 AM Rating: Default
You cant give this thing away on The Rathe. You will be lucky to get 1.5 k
Price is crazy...
# May 29 2001 at 10:58 AM Rating: Decent
If you get this and expect to get 5K you're nuts.

Price on this on my server (TZ) has dropped to 2K tops and more like 1.5 to 2K.

I was in Great Divide getting my **** kicked by giants so I decided to go back to CC as a goof and "camp " the herbalist. I ran there and met a 52 ranger who was hanging out and we were just chit chatting not getting any experience from the miners or most of the watchman. I started doing some emotes about me drooling for the robe and praying to Tunare hehe , the herbalist popped right next to my pet and he dropped very fast. The ranger let me have the robe and I was one very happy puppy, all done in 20 minutes. Later another herbalist dropped the ccs and an oracle dropped cloak of Rygor Oracle ( which I also kept, better than woven hehe ) . Not too bad 2 nice pieces in 1 hour . Easy to solo as an Enchanter lvl 40 .
This robe is GEORGEOUS!!

I got mine last night on the Zeb server in less then 10 seconds. Zoned in, Leved up, and floated right down on top of the herbalist. BAM, dead and wham, got the robe. We killed a few more and got the shroud as well and 3 more robes for our guild casters. Might be a good thing to bring a tracker along just so you know this guy is in zone, without one, your gonna be in there a long time and depending on your lvl, you might not want to be in there that long.

# Jul 14 2001 at 2:04 PM Rating: Decent
i am one of those trackers. it sux cuz everyone says - "hey kal is the herbie on track?" and then it is and they say "go get it!" what they dont understand is that there are about 10 levels in the pit and track doesnt say up or down! then when i do find the herbie, then i tell em that id train a ton of orcs back if i pull the herbie and they say "we can take em!" and then the group dies.
price?

Not just off the herbalist

Today was my first day in CC (armon, 35 enc on tribunal) and we were fighting by the bridge. Two hours ago the puller came back with a life leech and it dropped the robe. It was around level 37-38. I won the robe with a roll of 99 and am one happy enchanter even though I died 15 min later.
Price on Terris
# May 17 2001 at 1:31 PM Rating: Default
Price on terris thule is 3k, but it varies.
This item is not that common!
# May 13 2001 at 7:35 PM Rating: Default
Everyone's running around saying this item is so common and will sell for 1K at the most. All I know is on The Tribunal it is not common at all. At like 4:00 am EST me and a friend of mine were the only two in the zone. We're both level 45 so the Ry'gorr posed no threat, we just wanted some loot. We were only two in zone for several hours and we killed I'd say around 50 herbalists while playing 24 hours straight, and we only got 2 of these robes, one for each of us. It appears herbalists common is Herbalist Pack, next they will drop the Crystal Covered Shroud, then the Crystalline Robe, then the Blackened Crystalline Robe. You guys can say this item is common all you want, but you are wrong, and it's awesome for an enchanter. I'd say it's worth 5K.

The drop rate has doubled on these Robes, and the price has fallen to 3-3.5kpp
RE: Drop rate..
# Apr 27 2001 at 2:04 AM Rating: Decent
3k your crazy on druzzil ro ya cant sell on for more than 1k and that only if yer lucky the drops need to be slowed a little
RE: Drop rate..
# Apr 30 2001 at 8:11 PM Rating: Excellent
Well I traded my Blackened Crystalline Robe for a Crystalline Eye, traded the Crystalline Eye for a Velium Diamond Wedding Ring (+8 vs all resists), and sold that +1k for a Wu Stick (worth 5k)
