I look back on these posts, see all the whinning druids... I find it rather pathetic considering your class is more than capable of soloing as it is w/ the gear your given... Even now druids complain, and they're still probably Sony's favorite. IMO, you complaining that you can't wear this BP is like a necro complaining they can't wear SK's plate armor. Now STFU, head to Icefall, and kill some bears or something. And next time you wanna complain about how your class gets f'd over in the gear department, maybe you should look at your spells... They're not made for massive dps, they're made for root'in'rot which is what your class is all about. If you had a spell line utterly disappear or just become completely useless post 55, which to my knowledge druids didn't get beat w/ that nerf stick, then I would say alter it and make it druid wearable, but why make one of the strongest classes in game stronger by giving them gear that makes them literally ungodly?
While I was inclined initially to agree with you as I read further I couldn't help but notice that not only do you have a poor historical working knowledge on what you berate and pontificate about, but that you in fact are one of those who has ruined your own lands and ruined mine. Please take your "STFU's" and self apply them. Since you seem to like analogies: you're likened to a Jumboshrimp...you show an intelligence that eliminates any excuses of not knowing you are too ignorant to know you are.

after do it Deliver : 1-Emerald Dragon Scale 1-Ulthork Tusks 1-Fine Steel Breastplate
to Qarrgy Scallopgobbler and get your Emerald Dragonscale Tunic
Hey did this quest 2 weeks ago, bought the scale in the bazaar for 4k and the other items needed for about 250pp tops and got a chest piece with 20 wis for my cleric.Ac is low but it will do till i get an ubber BP.BTW i've been watching this BP and it has not lowered in price very much so i hope when i get a better BP it still sell high.
I just bought this a while ago and it makes a noticable difference. The best thing about this item is it finally allows me to trade some of my wisdom items for mana items.
I think this is undoubtedly one of the best Cleric twink items in the game. I won't sell this till I get my veliuos BP (that could be soon).
Saw one of these in the bazaar on emarr for 7k another at 9k... average has been around 12.5k to 20k... although one idiot had it up for 50k ... the green scales needed to make it are going for around 13-15k ... saw several up for sale higher than the bp's that were available
One factor that affects pricing on the Emerald Dragon Scale is that people will often price it high, hoping some hapless warrior will mistake it for a Green Dragon Scale, one of the hardest to obtain pieces for the warrior epic.
Just bought one for 15kpp on the Cazic Thule server. Our economy seems a bit less pricy than everyone elses, or these prices are just out of date. Pushes Wisdom to 252. /shrug If you want to wear plate, just don't be a Druid I guess.
Clerics will love this, but druids never fear, you can get better in UP (Elysian) in no time flat. Peeps only really kill Woushi for the spells, nothing useful comes off him.
someone sudjested this for my pally, personally i like the Deepwater armor MUCH better, higher ac and better stats all around, much cheeper to (but drops of Trak..) Besides, the full suit of gold plate on my dorf looks real SWEET.. Im the big pimp on Quellious..
Sure, as a cleric, I'd take a Donal's BP over this too, but last one I saw for sale was 80000pp.
Of course, for a paladin, I'd take barbed ringmail, or an acrylia plate BP over this. AC on this is BARELY sufficient for my cleric. It's WAY too low for a melee.

Posted:Jan 22 2002 at 10:55 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Bah, yet another piece of armor not permitted to druids. 22 ac is no big whoop-te-do, it wouldn't change my total by much, and it's evil to deny WIS like this (and CHA what the heck) to a class that really needs a high-WIS piece so that gear slots can be opened up for resist pieces.
Alas but do not druid get the best bracer in the game where they can kill mobs with little to no mana. and a quick casting time. This just makes up for the fact that Varent made druids the easiest class to play. No mana killing, you can not get much easier than that and now you want a 20 wis item too.
every other class proc either low damage or have a joke casting time, even an shaman has to wait 8 seconds, A wizard around 28 secs for their best proc.
if Varent was fair they would nerf the effect on the es vambraces, but alas they favor the druids. So forgive me if i don't have pity for a druid complaining about varent trying to even the odds for the rest. Come on Varent you still have a long was to go before the other class are equal to you pet favorite the druid.
The effect on the ES vams and the quest bracer is Drones of Doom, a pretty weak DOT. If i tried to use only that effect to solo the mobs that give me experience from lvls 55-60 it would take me about half an hour to solo one mob. Sure i use it in conjunction with my other DOTs ( the ones that cost mana ) but no way i could solo effectively with this. Quit flaming ya retard, don't you have a spell that gives you mana?
Ahah! You speak with such wisdom considering you have a level 8 druid and a lvl 48 wizard, but of course. It is near impossible for a druid to get a BP in the middle range (this is good-decent bp) the best most can wear is a shroud of nature. Any druid would love this BP Wisdom, MR, and CHA (lessen those resists).
The ES vambrace is complete crap, and the quest bracers we can get in SS Kael or Thurg are an upgrade to stats but not to eff: take a look at Velketor the Sorcerer's drops and see how deflated your comment is.
This BP is mad cool looking and great stats too. If anyone is selling this BP or is selling the Emerald Green Scale that is used for the quest to get this BP, and is on the Karana server, give me a tell. My name is Auberjonois or Ahhmed.
Can someone please post an accurate current price for this BP? I'm looking to buy one on Veeshan soon when I can save up enough money. I think it will match Royal Velium on a my High Elf VERY well.
On Morell Thule I have talked with 3 people in the last 2 weeks that were selling them. Low Price was 22k and the High Price was 30k. The other one was 25k.

You're right, it appears as a neon green plate tunic. However it might be considered chain by some since chain classes can wear it -- rogue, shaman, ranger, and iksars can wear it as well.
It does clash with Ethereal Mist armor by the by, but as I always say, I'd rather look like a fashion victim and be victorious than be lvl 60 in full blackened iron :)
Does anyone know if Quarrgy Scallopgobbler (the guy that you are supposed to turn all the items into) will Kos anyone? Me, being a dark elf, have had many bad run ins with some very mad Npc's hehe.

Just because you CAN use it, doesn't mean you HAVE to. Take a guess as to the classes picked to wear this.
Come on, guess.
No guess?
Banded classes. All classes that can wear banded can wear this. Hey, maybe a shaman has a nice weapon or piece of armor to trade. I'm sure you have a friend who would love to have one of these.

the only two druid evacs where static spawns sit around the ring to eat evil races are NK and EK and a quick trip to BlackBurrow will fix this right up... other than Woushi in WL the rest of the druid ports are as safe for everyone as the equivalent wizard ports on the continent

Bit of advice if you being ported/evaced by a druid and happen to be, oh a dark elf for instance(like my character) make sure you are either, invis, sowed or enough of a badass to wax whatever will be attacking you at the ring. Being a 54 warrior and pretty well equipped, also having Jboots, I usually opt for the latter 2 of the three options, but then again, Im not always attacked either.

Actually, there's a fairly clear reason why its not druid wearable. Look at the classes that can wear it. Its clearly a "chain" class armor. Breakdown is fairly simple:
There are a few exceptions like armor that looks like plate but is chain wearable (Totemic is a good example,) Iksars that can only wear up to chain (including Warriors and SKs,) and a few odd pieces of armor that are wearable by monks and not druids, but generally all non-class specific armor follows these rules.
And as a matter of fact, my primary character is a Druid. Yes, it sucks that I looked more or less the same at 40 as I did at 5, but eeeh, I'm resigned to having fairly crappy armor. I console myself that my armor isn't nearly as crappy as the int casters. :)

All you people amaze me. On one side, we have the whiners shouting that Druids are getting screwed. In some ways I agree with you, but in many ways you are dead wrong. First, We SHOULD NOT be able to wear this. Their are two reasons for this: #1: one primary component of this armor is a Fine Steel BP...something we cannot wear. #2: Dragons are NOT creatures of nature, they are creatures of magic. Personally, as a Druid I would like to see more Druid items and even *gasp* Quest Armor. Verant's justification for putting the Quest armor in was because they removed Rubicite from the game. However, several classes that have armor quests never could wear Rubicite... I think its time to drop that old excuse and give us some good looking and slightly useful items. For those people that say Druids Suck, guess what, Its not the class that sucks, its the person behind the Charecter. If you gave me that kind of attatude, you would be the first person added to my Ignore list. Sorry to ramble on, but I had to express my opinion.

Well, it seems to me that most of you have overlooked an obvious fact. Well, to me it is, at least. I have noticed that fighters(classes with no spells, i.e. warriors, rogues, monks) come in a plate-wearing class(warriors), chain(rogues) and then cloth(monks). Even hybrids have this, well, they all wear chain or better, but rangers can't wear plate. I don't see many of them whining, they merely cope with this. The 'healing' classes follow this hierarchy, with the clerics wearing plate, shaman with the chain and druids with animal-hides and leather type armor.
Just my opinion though...

Truly, yes, Shaman are chain classes. They CAN wear SOME plate, not ALL plate. Rangers *eventually* get the cool thorny vine (green plate-looking armour), rogues can wear mithril (as can Rangers, but not Shamans...hmmm), etc--there are some exeptions to the chain rule all around. Not meaning to be pissy, just pointing it out...

#Anonymous,
Posted:May 10 2001 at 12:48 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Good point, but all of the classes as of now have some kind of armor that is above their type, like rangers get plate, shamans get plate as you said, druids get chain, blah blah blah, see what I mean? Druids seriously need to quite whining, I'm a ranger, I don't care that I can't wear plate unless i goto the planes or get more tolans, its no big deal.
Ok, quit getting bent out of shape over the low AC or whatever. Look at the Red Dragonscale Armor. Look at this. Hmmm, quite similar eh? Seems to me they are following a pattern here. Just like the Red Dragonscale probably isn't the best choice for tanks, this isn't neccessarily the best choice for shaman/cleric. Yes, the AC kinda sucks. My EM BP beats this thing for AC and HP, hell even mana for that matter. But, this thing looks very cool =) And besides that... if nothing else, this thing is an AWESOME piece of resist gear. 20 WIS when you need it most plus 10 MR and 10 DR. I am wearing one of these full-time right now on my cleric. Honestly I could do without it, since I have 220 WIS with it on hehe. But it gets looks and it's a change from the standard purple =) Oh, and 10 cha is welcome for an ugly dwarf...

This item is an interesting one for a cleric. Lower AC than Ethereal Mist/Donals/PoG/Kael/Thurgadin armor but higher wisdom. If AC is not your concern, then it is not a bad item until one of the above comes your way. The wisdom boost allows high level clerics to focus on mana items in other slots. Given that I am a human cleric (read: wisdom poor, comparatively speaking) it is a good option. Perhaps this would be less so for dwarfs and elves. Besides, if you do not mind the hot emerald color, the graphic gets a lot of attention. And it is tradeable.

just to let all you non role playing druids out there. Druids in any rpg cannot ware metal armor. this has been since d&d 1st edition. druids are all natural priest class so lets keep it that way okay? you didnt get "screwed" verant is only trying to keep it a roleplaying atmosphre. you chose your class knowing its limitaions so dont whine about it. the reason is: metal is man made. hide comes from the animals. that is why druids can only use leather! (druids really shouldnt be able to use metal weapons either, sept the scimitar)
Well, using that mentality, this armour should be well suited to the class as it's made from the scales of a living breathing creature. As for the non-metal weapons, I believe the druids have always been able to use non-edged metal weapons even in D&D. And I think for the most part the reason most Druids feel so slighted by Verant isn't necessarily the quality of the items available to them it's the quantity vs. class that may be at issue. Volume wise, Druids as a class do get shortchanged compared to almost any other class in terms of items useable by them. Do not consider this whining, for I'm quite happy with my own Druid as it is.

Regardless of how many people complain, Verant will do things their way, and no one elses. If you have a problem with the fact that druids can't wear this, then quit, or start a new character that can, like a cleric, or a Shaman. I understand your frustration, because I have a druid too, lvl 45. I'm going to start a shaman, since they have similar spells to druids and can wear most armor in the game.
