erudites are not "art keepers". "art keepers" are basically the elvin casters who's class guild is in felwith. I dunno what erudites are, but I think they have something of the equivilant.
Umm an oracle robe only give +25mana. and at really high lvls when you have items that give +10 and 15 int. this +40 mana is much better then the +35 and 5 int from a oracle robe
even if ur lvl 60 and got 200+ int you still get 6mp per 1int, thats 30 mana on orobe, plus 25 additional mana... thats 55 mana... i didnt say orobe was better than this, cause this also has 40hp which rocks the casbas, im just speaking strictly manawise
This is an item for INT casters, is apparently not deity-specific, and since it can be worn by Humans, must be medium sized. What boggles me is not why Half-Elves CAN wear it, but why Erudites cannot?
Addendum: Having just looked at the EQTraders site, i must mention that according to them, Half-Elves are not able to use this. That is consistant with other High-Elf caster chain. We may wish to consider the possibility that the indication in the box allowing Half-Elves to wear this may be an error.
This still leaves open the "Why not Erudites" question. Other than our copious craniums, we ARE the same size as Humans, after all...
