I was charged 5k for this baby since none had been seen in the bazaar for almost a month on VZ. I really wanted one, since I am mostly a solo charm kiter, because my gameplay doesn't really allow for grouping except for on rare occassions, and I group with my brothers when that is the case. I now have 255 CHA when I cast Radiant Visage! Not bad for a 35 Chanter, but hey, I love the fact that I can reliably charm Yellow and red mobs...
About a month ago there were four or five of these selling for a range of 2.5k to 3.5k pp. When they all sold out, they were gone for a little while and now they're selling for 5.5k to 6.5k pp.
Adding on to what Svinter said, the cha itself makes this item worth it, and in the higher lvls the svs will definately help! And, if you're worried about no int from it, pair it with a braclet of comprehension (all the same stats, only replace cha for int)
Ok, so my guild was on a UP raid and we pulled the big ol' Gantru guy. It was a very good fight, no deaths, and got him single. There were only 2 chanters on the raid (one being me ^_^) and I won this on a roll of 238 out of 600!! OMG! am I the happiest chanter in the world! Was a VERY good upgrade for my newbie bracelet (Bracer of the Spurned Initiate) LOL
This is an excellent item for chanters, the AC makes us get hit a bit less, the cha make mezzes and charms last longer, and the saves are great for epic/dragon raids. I would even pay upwards 10k for this, if I had it :P (Will take a lot of HGs to get that^_^). If you're a high lvl chanter and dont have this, get one! I love it!
OMFG! I just saw one of these for sell in the Bazaar, in all my days of EQ, they have FINALLY made me the perfect item! Shame it's just a bracer, but with stats like this, I can't complain. I payed 7k for it, only had 3 so I frantically sold my Bracer of the Hidden (like I really need it with my chanter) for 4k, then BINGO, I'm 1 happy chanter. =)
Umm, posted in the wrong fourm. Anyways.... yeah. Nice, erm, pretty bracelet. I dont wear pretty things, just like to barsh. so I dont have much to say about this.
Our guild took down Gantru Dralkenr today. All I can say is he has a TON of hit points. I would venture to say we fought him for at least 5 minutes. He is immune to all snare spells.
These drop off any of the new lvl 60 mobs in umbral (new as of wednesday's patch 2/13/02, that is). Afaik, you get 1 of these everytime. It's totally random which bracelet it is, though.
Will the chanters please form an orderly line... thank you... ok... who's next... bards... ok.. anybody else... ok ok ok go ahead monk... sheesh they never quit do they... anybody else?... what do you mean you all want it? good AC and great resists on a bracer... well... yah.. I guess I want it too... the extra CHA would be nice when I'm selling... =)
