The Looks of the new Tier 0.5 Sets

[Concillian]

Here is a quote from a post in the warrior forum, in direct response to a post of mine asking for more info on the quest line:

Bracers:

One step, soloable by idiots, 20g.

Belt+Gloves:

Multi-step, soloable with a little more thought, requires several steps, two rounds of farmed mats, several expensive reagents (Stonescale Oil, Delicate Arcanite Converter) and 90g cash, spent at two different points.

Will take several hours /played to complete even if you start with all the mats and armor pieces you need.

Pants, Shoulders Boots: Have not personally gotten to this yet, but starts with the 45 minute Baron run, then involves farming ogres in DM North along with some other stuff and at least one very expensive buy from the Argent Dawn.

None of this is soloable unless you can solo those instances.

I'd say there are a couple "walls" in the line (apart from getting your Tier 0 pieces):

Wall #1: Mats at the belt and gloves step. How much arcanite does your server produce in a day? How much stonescale oil? How many people may want to do this quest? How many people want arcanite and stonescale oil for other uses?

That's what I thought. Buy now or be sorry.

Wall #2: Baron in 45 minutes after you get the belts and gloves. People who cannot play well simply will not be able to do this step.
