Thread: Heavy Duty Leather???
I am on the Intrepid server and my guild just got me 8 pieces from one of the big Nightsister mobs. Think it was an elder or something.

I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the advice.
On another note, I personally can't take on NS elders but I'll ask a few combat peeps if they'd be willing to stick their necks on the line and possible get killed so that I can get identical heavy duty leather. I'm sorry if I sound so bitter but doesn't that seem a bit extreme? To have to kill a NS stalker or elder or something to that respect to get identical components. Or to pay exhorbant prices because a tailor doesn't have any combat skills to get these components themselves. Personally, I don't know what the devs were thinking when choosing the drops of these components. Okay yes jantas or evil hermits aren't that difficult. But how often do they drop off those and are they identical? To have to go to the tuskan fort or to dath to find identical components is ridiculous IMO.

My buddy and I finally after 4 nights of killing endless nightsisters finally got 6 identical heavy duty leather.

- Has anyone made any of these items and, if so, do they have any benefits/bonuses that justify the incredible cost of the Heavy Duty Leather (and Crystalline Clothing Treatment) components?
- Has anyone found enough of these to justify even making the various garments?
Right now, 4 matched pieces of Heavy Duty Leather are selling at well over 200K in auction. Seriously, does anyone actually expect to make 100K+ on a Crafter's Apron? I mean, if there are some great benefits attached to it, that's one thing, but I couldn't tell you one way or another if it's worth the outlay yet.
Hmm. I had a friend drop by my shop and give me free 6 heavy duty leathers and 3 crystalline treamtents. Said she got them at Tusken Fort. Then another friend gave me an apron schem and I made him a free apron and one for me, as it was the Tailor apron. Then I got some more leathers and crystallines and 10k mythra copper and rori vegetable fungi and more schems: 2 demolitionist's belts, 2 leotards, 1 each Architect, Doctor and Tailor apron, and 1 Sepc-Ops field agent pack, all free. Only cost to me was to make one from it for the persons giving them to me. And there's some of those mythical DE repair kits on hold for me for when someone finds the DE bandolier one for me. And not all these were from guildies.
I donated one each of these to my city's museum. And haven't even tried yet to sell any of them. Going Tusken hunting later to see if we can get some more leathers.
