My chanter stopped wearing this in favor of a Robe of the Astral. She does lose the cha, but the int is pretty low on the Scaled Robe, and I hate how the Scaled Robe looks on an Erudite. Kind of frumpy with ugly lines. I made up for the loss of cha with Opal Encrusted Steins and other equipment.
This quest is a result of the Titans quest from Erudin. You have to camp the 5 Titans from Stonebrunt Mountains. These guys have no apparent placeholders, totally random spawns. The sabertooth titan (forget name) and leopard titan (prowler of the jungle) are for the Astral Cloak of the Titans, 9 int, nice for casters. The gorilla titan (the ghostback) and the panda titan (giant yin) are for the Astral Leggings of the Titans, 10 int, again a nice caster item. And finally the snake titan (slynder the serpent) and some sort of chord result in this robe. These Titans are a *****, ive camped them for god knows how long and only have the panda pelt. The things i would do for a chanter.....
This is a very good Chanter Robe. I still wear mine and will until I can loot my class Specific Planar robe or complete one of the Velious quests. Basically all Caster robes prior to the possibilities mentioned in my previous statement are the same. Sure some have a little more Int and less Cha or More AC and less int... But you will always be trading off one stat for another in all droppable robes in this range. The Key is to get the Robe with the Stats you specifically need taking in account all your other equipment. I desperatley needed Cha on my robe so this is what I ended up with. I even traded out my SMR for this robe :)
Although I agree that this isn't a bad chanter robe, I would never trade this in for a SMR. The effect of charisma has been proven not to help all that much, while 9 int (I think that's what's on the SMR) will give you 90 mana at level 50. The save poison is just a bonus; I rarely get poisoned, so unless it was for a specific raid the save wouldn't sway me either way.
Blackened Crystalline Robes are a good combo of Cha and Int- 6 int is 3 more than this robe, and 5 cha is only 4 less. I would use the BCR over these.
I honestly don't see why these robes sell for 1200pp on xev.
This item is found on creatures. Hm. If I only knew where and of which mob. It's definitely a nice chanter robe, and the stats look like its not too hard to get, is it?
wtf are you talking about? GSD and this PoS have same sv poison. and what is up with this thing going for 1.5k in bazaar and the SUPERIOR gsd only 50pp? same stats are on gsd and that has a level 2 focus effect. wth are sellers thinking, this robe is worth 50pp or less.
Hail fellow big game hunters! I received this shortly after they corrected the quest, since it was just giving you the cloak instead of robe at first, and I must say I was disappointed. It took me 9 kills of Slyder before I finally got the scale and then to find out I spent all this time tracking and camping him for a glorified Green Silken Drape.
If it had a special graphic I might not even be ********* but to spend the time to get a robe that has teh same graphics as a Jr. Apprentice robe.... f that. I guess if I had an enchanter I wouldn't be complaining as much since I think this would be a kickass robe for a mid level enchanter.
I just thank god it doesn't have the -5mr like the leggings and cloak or I'd never be able to get rid of this on RZ.
