Back in a much simple time, back in the days when LOLDRGs started to echo through out the land. A flying blue blur and a traphic cone darts down from the sky. When COP was terrifying and you struggled with having a job that was deemed crap.
Those we're the days.
If you we're lucky you could get these.
Then when you finally got CoP, you venture to the great empire and slave away for a Mezraq. Then it gets bested by Thalassocrat and fay lance. Whew boy those we're the days. The mire was actually scary and creepy to me.
Even luckier if you could get Homam crap, Vfork, Black Tath, Z mail.
this was ideal, this isn't really what I had but what I strived for.
Askar aside there was also Ares, though Deimos breastplate never dropped for me. this was seriously the cream of the crop. I remember how much of a grind it was, having to have top attendance for some Einherjar shell that just ended up dying. Not to mention trying to co lead one which was a huge waste of time. I guess I am great-ful now with Abyssea. Years and years of work for some.
And now well
Maybe in less then a month if you are adamant about it. It was kind of sad we had the worst gear choices(not to mention UGLY) of all. Even full perle makes things look like a joke.
I'm kinda glad I am not wearing this crap anymore.
I seriously had no luck with Homam except the body/feet and the head(which I tossed 2 times.. stupid Zuchetto) Even after having a whole Omega pop pool to myself no dorps.
Though right when WoG was big I quickly traded up to Zahak's Mail/Ares Legs heh. Compared to how things used to be I am surprised people complain about current content. I mean 0/42 on Leaping Boots is bullsh*t, I'm not going to complain about going 1/11 on a Goading Belt lol
What did your gear sets used to look like?
Edit: Early 2004/late 2005.. AJ wouldn't drop and SH was 15mil ._.
I was stuck with AF Body/Legs/Feet until I could use Feral stuff, and I slowly upgraded to barone legs/feet and got an Ohat/AJ in the same day. Then went to a Mezraq. Shit was rough, took me 28 Ose kills.. a BRD and a BST won lots over AJ... ugh assholes.. finally on the 28th kill I got it. While fighting against RMT who wanted the whiskers..)
