  • Tae Ew pristine scales frequency

    Are these so rare on your server as they are on TP? I never see them for sale.
    The reason probably is no one kills the things in CT that drop them, or goes there much anymore.
    I have had a few people wanting the greaves. Needing NINE scales for ONE attempt sucks.

      The scales are no drop, you have to LIVE in CT to have a remote chance LOL! They will never be for sale.

        Pristine scales are NOT no drop. But I seriously doubt you'll see them for sale. I have spent enought time in CT to get between 80 and 100 vials of blood. In all that time I have ONE pristine scale. When we go there to get blood 4c is the preferred camp and after killing an unknown number of brown lizards I still only have one scale to show for it. To bad there isn't a way to convert the shiny lizard scales to pristine scales. I don't know maybe something like 3 shiny scales and a Lizard blood temper in a forge. Would be nice.

          That drop rate sounds like broken to me... absurd.

              WTB: Pristine Tae Ew Scales

              aahhhmmm....

              I have 5 in the bank, just waiting for one more. I have purchased them from people or friends but have not seen them for sale in the bazaar.

              They do exist and are not no drop.

              Considering how the market is crashing for other Tae Ew items, I'm not sure how much to charge for Tae Ew plate greaves.

                  I see the occasional Tae Ew scale for sale on Trib (normally 5 to 10kpp).

                  Now... just supposing I actually got hold of 6 scales (have 2 atm)...

                  What would a rough price be to charge for Tae Ew Plate Legs or BP?

                  Any idea's? Based on other similar armors on a blue server, that is.

                    not thinking, yes six.

                    Lucky people finding scales on merchants. Your server must have people that still exp there.
                    The tae ew chain and shield market is crashing because the blood is so much easier to get, and the recipes are easy to do.
                    ~ 100 hp legs are nice though.

                      I have gotten ONE scale. It was a tip for combining some tae ew shields.

                      Honestly, as a human smith, whos only plate wearing chars can wear his armor, I don't ever see needing the tae ew plate. It basically is inferior to all of the BD cultural, except for the HP on the legs. You'd think for something THAT hard to make, it would be at least to par with the chain.

                        Re

                        A group of friends and I were camping 4c one night and got 2, yes 2, pristine tae ew scales in under an hour. I was freaking out, being the only tradeskill nut of them all, while they were like, "cool." Well then the POS server crashed and ate the (for all the peeps on RN you know how i feel).

                          Well, one thing that's nice about it is that you don't have to be this or that race to wear it.

                          Can't imagine failing on a tae ew plate combine though. Say you fail once and succeed once -- that's twelve scales down for one pair of legs!

                          I've put in about a dozen sessions in 4c in cazic recently, usually from four to six hours, and come away with one pristene scale. Have yet to see the ore for the cazic jewelry drop.

                          You seriously have to be lucky to get many of these scales, or live in cazic for a very long period of time.

                            Personally, I believe the Tae Ew Plate Greaves are better than any other drop-able greaves in the game for a Paladin/SK.

                            High AC, High HP, Good Sta, Good Wis/Int, Good Mana, fair resists.

                            Skyshrine Plate is comparable, but not obviously better.

                            AC is higher on Cultural Greaves, but Tae Ew Plate beats Cultural on most every other respect.

                            Plus, it's wearable by more race/class combos (like Agnostic Ogre/Troll, Vah Shir &amp; Iksar... who don't have BD Plate).

                            If you see Ornate Rubicite Plate Greaves for sale, I'd say Tae Ew Plate Greaves would be worth ~50% more.

                            Personally, I've only got 2 Scales myself... I'm begging people &amp; spamming /buysell to get more though.

                              Well my experience with them is 3 in about 4 hours. My guild went in and did the escort the gnome quest then cleard to the top of 4C ( got 2 both from brown lizards) , then a group of us stayed to exp/play a bit in Upper Tae and got the 3rd from a GREEN lizard. Which brings me to thinking that any 55+ liz can drop them.
