Legendary JBootsFollow

So I got mine this weekend. I must say, I'm kind of disappointed. I thought the JBoots you got from the original release of EQ2 had a speed of boost of 10%. The Legendary JBoots only have a 10% increase, too. Does that make sense? Is my reasoning correct? I know the level 42 variety has a lot more stats. I just thought the speed boost would be greater.

I guess considering it is a fairly simple quest the reward is good for the risk. Mitigation wise it is about equal to ebon armor (for heavy armor people). Stat wise though they are kinda poor IMO, but I still wear them.

Good point. Wasn't really that hard of a quest. I finished it at level 35.

And as a bonus, they supposedly stack with anything and everything else*, (speed wise), so you could consider it an extra 10%...

*disclaimer - I do not possess either version of the j-boots so I have not personally proven that their buff stacks... it's just what I heard!

I finished the quest at lvl 41. I died once in the feerott from being abit cocky and not respecting the mobs basicly....it happens.

Far as the stackability of the boots its not that great. My paladin freebie horse gives a 10% run speed boost. When I equiped quested jboots I got 10% to my speed. Then I casted my horse it stayed 10%, so basically it does not stack with the paladin freebie lvl 20 horse spell. I can't say for sure, but I imagine it does not stack with purchased horses either. I heard at one point in time it all stacked, but that it was nerfed a long time ago (back around the era when heroics was ^^ not ^^^ and you had to do quests to access new tier zones.

Also when I kick in run it always goes to 40%. Even with jboots it does not go past 40%, so jboots don't help in that situation either.

I don't know if it stacks with speed buffs like sow, bard songs, etc etc. I have yet to buy a horse, I am too close to the carpet now to spend half my status and half my life savings for a 25%ish horse.

The obvious advantage over heritage jboots and /claimed jboots is the stats. Claimed jboots to my understanding have no stats? Also we obviously all don't have the jboots to claim either.

They seem to stack with my bard speed boost, but I will double check when I get back home.

I have Ebon boots, which have higher Miti and better stats, as well as a 40% horsey, so I just stuck my jboots in my room. They were kinda useless since they stack with all speed buffs BUT horses.
