This is way better then fbss NO COMPARISON and it is just way easier to attain. I was farming Yttrium ore in the Deep and stumbled across this mob when i found a good spot to camp. He is not rare and neither is the drop. I have soloed with my 70 chanter a dozen times and 60% of the time he drops the belt. The no drop ring drops if not the belt. The haste is 27%. Sold it twice once for way to little and the second time for not much more. The sold soon after trader was on and i gave the word it was for sale.
should of kept my fortune to myself i guess. ever since i posted this I have never seen the belt drop again guess they nerfed it or i was very lucky. Have killed about a hundred times since post Ring dropped every time

Posted:Jun 18 2003 at 4:18 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i got one of these the other night in the deep. I really cant tell you how strong the mob was, we went down there for the burrower, but he wasnt up, so then we just smote this guy since it was the only named up.. he lasted about 3 seconds against our 28 people.
Worst..cleric..ever? I also play a cleric and I gotta say that's dumb... I mean, sure if I was in a group with some people I don't know or regularly group with I'd //maybe// roll on this just to make sure that the TANK (SK/Pally, Warrior) got it OR to give it to a guildy or a tank I frequently group with but wear it? ha! But in a raid? I'd hope yer rep would/has suffered accordingly.

I went to the above link, it doesn't work, it just redirects you to the main page, and the site is in French. I don't know French, but after a little guesswork, I found the page you were talking about... here's the correct link.
They spawn all over the deeper part of the zone. Past the pit, and especially on the otherside, where the Overfiend hangs out. BTW, watch out for the Elders... they have about 70 - 100K HP , flurry, enrage, and hit for 250 - 600 (depending on the AC of your tanks)
Oh and this thing is not at all common. Very Rare. Not sure about the haste being 38%. My guess is its between 25% and 35%, probibly 36% like a Dragon Haste item (RBB, CoF, CoP, ect)

Posted:Jan 25 2002 at 3:21 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Its 38% haste actually. Very nice item i gave it to my monk but doesn't everyone have a monk lol. Oh well doesn't compare to my Cord. Nice item though.
This item should be compared to something more along the lines of a CoF at least. It's prolly 40% haste so I'm assuming a min 50k price tag is reasonable. If they ever get sold in the next year. Don't compare this loot to something out of lguk. An fbss can be farmed by a single person. It's not a high end item by any means. You aren't going to see stuff like this at the bazaar.
For all the people who say that this item won't affect the FBSS...YOUR SO WRONG. First off, 4months ago when i first bought my Fbss, it was 7kpp. Now its down to about 4.5k on Tribunal. Hmm...not many haste items have even come out since then...how can you say this won't affect it? Hell the only thing that made it drop down in price was time. Bad for me cause i'll never get what i paid for it when i try and sell the damn thing.
And yes....this is a very high lvl item, so don't think about saving your pennie's, cause unless your and E-bay junky, you'll have to be in a good guild to get one = ). GL to anyone trying for it, and Gratz to anyone who HAS gotten it = )
the easy accessability to the frenzy is,was and will be the downfall for the FBSS price .
new haste items enter the game all the time but you must realize the FBSS has been farmed basicly 24/7 since it was first discovered so that means atleast 2 FBSSs sometimes 4 in 2 hours enter the economy everyday for the past 3 years . with that kind of output its only a matter of time b4 everyone either has an FBSS or can borrow one from someone they know.
Don;t know about drop rates on your server, but I have spent prolly 50 hours in frenzy(not much really) and never seen a FBSS drop. Matter of fact, was lucky to see 1 frenzy in 3 spawn cycles. I soloed 4 spawn cycles 2 days ago and got one frenzy that dropped a moonstone ring.
Why has FBSS gone down? Silver chitin hand wraps for one. The crazy drop rates and raising of haste on sky belts. CoF, CoCW, RBG, and RBB coming out the ears so prices are down. These facts, and the fact that yes they are camped pretty much 24/7 for over 2 years even with a lousy drop rate.
WTT for Nightmarish Girdle, offering FBSS+caddy service for a year. Now be honest, you know you want a peon to carry around your loot/coins/alternate weaps. What better payment for such service than a belt that gives (among much else) +10STR ;-)
You can find me hanging out in the bazaar, right under the big thought balloon that says "Must Make Plat Fast"....
If you have to save for buying a FBSS, you can better keep on saving for it...This thing won't even compete with it, and the price of FBSS won't go down because of this belt. I don't see the price of Iksar Breastplate going down because of the better stats on Fungi Tunic...
You can't compare these two, that's my 2cp...

Actually you can... the more haste items that come out, the less people are willing to pay for lower items... AND it creates more sellers who find their FBSS replaced by something better.
Obviously this is too high level to really affect the price of the FBSS dramatically, but still... I notice the prices on a lot of things going down... like those useless trinkets everyone thought was so uber... the idol of the thorned was it?

Idol of the thorned is STILL a kickass range item. I'd vote it the best droppable one out there and I'd use it over alot of the nodrop ones (like the ever popular Grodan's Idol from maiden's eye). Anything with 10sta is quite desiarable.
Good god yourself and quit setting price before it happens. Lets look on this in honesty, shall we? This thing is an incredibly high level item. If someone sells this, they're pretty much nuts, or they have better equipment, in which case selling this thing for 50K plat means nothing to them.
What I find odd is who sets prices anyway? 50K for this, and you'll only be able to sell it like wildfire for the first month or so of its known existence. Much like the Fungi Tunic, once everybody knew how to get one, and could afford it, they went and got one themselves. Fungi still goes for 20K + platinum on most servers, but I see so many for sale these days and nobody buying. Anyway, if someone can even afford to wontonly throw around 50K and not be bare butt naked afterward, then my hat off to them. But most people who can afford 50K or more can go get it with their guild by themself.
Sorry, I was not thinking when I posted the first time...it's not at all rare for high lvs to have 50k to "throw around", people throw 100k+ away into a horse, so don't try to give me that crap...the point that wasn't made is that it will probably a very long time before we see these sold at all...only better (melee) belts drop in NToV, and are no drop.
You can bet the price on this will blow the fbss out of the water too, 50k minimum depending on how fast the haste is and i'm sure is quite fast. better keep saving those pennies
