is it worth it to start farming 25 silver dragon orders to get the bracers of blood moon at lvl 81?


thanks

    You can use them til 99 and then resell.

    It's a worthy investment. Far better than waiting til 90 to get 90 gold and then needing to get new wrists at 99 anyways.

    At lvl81, starting to dq for the silver orders or buying them doesn't seem worth the trouble for me. I'd just go for either TT80 gold (way cheaper but only -0.05 int), TT90 gold or maybe just wait till 99 where -int can have a real effect. Untill 90 at least, it's not like you get "high aps" anyway.

    If you have another character that might be able to use them afterwards, it's another story ofc. Reselling them is pretty much a gamble: not many care about gear till 90 or even 100, but if you do find someone who is desperate to get blood moon bracers, he/she will pay big money for it.

    level 90 OHT bracers with interval are usually in the AH for really cheap, might want to consider those. Blood Moons are a waste tbh considering how much effort it takes to get a pair, best saving the money on TT99 gold bracers.

    if you have the money, buy them
    i have used them since level 60, and will use them until 99

    if your tight on money, dont buy them, you dont really see the affect of -int anyway until 99, as said before

    i would not farm them, the time involved to get 25 silver orders is just not worth it, in my opinion

    As BladedZero said, buy some LA OHT -int bracers. They run roughly half a mil.

    OHT is Old Heaven's Tear, a map that's part of the chrono chain you start at level 70. You can use OHT materials to mass produce 2star, 3star, and legendary equipment so alot of -int pieces are made. Personally, I've never been impressed with the -int bracers from there.

    I'd still say BoBM are worth it because they have more pdef than tt90 gold and are resellable, but they cost a ton. Expect to pay 25 mil+ for them depending on prices in your server. The brightside is you can resell for 25 mil+ and maybe even make a profit depending on how patient you are. As stated, they can be used till you farm your TT99 LA boots and then sell them to buy your TT99 LA wrists so it's potential is good till even after you hit level 99.

    Vapor Willow, 2 stars. Level 90 requisite.


    Find some -.05 int bracers with 2-3 sockets and all resists. Should run about 200-300k. They're hella cheap and a dime a dozen.

    Blood moons are definitely worth it IF you level at a medium to slow pace. If you're just going to sprint to 99+, I wouldn't bother. I got lucky on getting a pair for my sins on both dreamweaver and LC, first for 10m, then 14m. Like people said, they last until 99 due to better pdef than the 90 gold bracers, they can be resold for profit, and you really do notice the attack speed bonus. When I resell my bracers at 99, I should have more than enough to buy the 99 gold wrists just from reselling; a worthy investment in my mind.

    I don't know how worth it they'd be for you at 81 though; how fast do you level, and how much money do you have? Precrafted bracers may be cheaper than gathering orders, depending on your luck and if you're buying or farming the orders. If you're going to just breeze through the levels, OHT wrists will do you just fine. They're dirt cheap because they aren't ideal stats-wise, but the -int is handy, and you'll be upgrading at 99 anyways.


    So, in short, look at funds, time it'd take to find a pair/farm them, and leveling speed. Make your decision based off of that.

    The stats are sub par to the TT 90 green , and it is a 2 star (3 star have lvl requirement lvl 96 , not worth it) Less interval than Blood moon or general. So yeah , even 4 sockets wont give much value for sth that will be swapped at 9 lvls.

    i agree, OHT gear is cheap to get.

    you could also drag through the auction house to see if anyone has a pair of drop wrists with -int: i used such wrists from about lvl 50, and just dumped em in ah for 100k every time i found a better one. they'll only be -.05, but its something, and waaaay cheaper than blood moons.
    Things said during a Twizted faction PK session:
    Slayer_of_Souls: you guys are such suck ups. none of you have attacked twid.
    Twiddzly(fac leader): no, sere killed me already.
    Slayer_of_Souls: he's out there waiting for us, isn't he. i'm gonna die.
    Sereneai: b:sin why don't you come find out.
    Kinglkaruga: you go first dule.

    Being someone who actually took the time to farm these suckers, I'd say hell yeah their worth it. I also got that wraithgate cape too. Those combined with hooks and r4 plate which is real cheap, anyone who tells you that you won't notice a difference with the -int must be a plvling cash shopper.

    It took me quite a while to farm them, I did them off and on until 2x came on months ago, then that's all I did was farm the orders. I didn't get them til 80 but I was off and on farming them since lvl60. The best dq was 79 anyways I believe with a 90% chance for them....may be 69 I'm not 100%, so that's why I didn't really start hardcore until I was 80 with hooks and it was 2x. The mobs can be tough to kill with anything less as a sin.

    Just do it, if you get sick of farming them, sell the orders and continue doing what you want. I had patience and level slow so it was fine for me. Also, once you get the gear I mentioned above, you will be soloing shades in fc at lvl80 and people will love having you in squad.

    I recently was able to borrow a pair and I'll change my mind completely on these. I was able to 4 socket them with some pocket change I had at the time from 2 sockets and the physical defense it provides is quite significant. Also when you think about it, these will probably sell as soon as you put them back on the market so you'd make your money back or if you made them you'd get a fair amount of coin.

    Also got a TM69 cape with the help of Asterelle and I have to say the early extra interval goes a long way with -.25 by 80 (cape, hook+thorn, bracer, rank top)

    When I was approaching level 60, I invested 12.5m in buying the Silver Dragon Orders (that was the price of 25 back then), and made a 4 socket Bracers of Blood Moon. They were the highest stat, +3, and had 4 immaculate citrines in them.

    I used them from level 60 to 99, where I switched the Ashura's Bracers.

    I ended up selling the bracers for 20m, even though an hour later someone was offering 30m. ;(

    You can find Wristguards with -.5 int that arent as costly as gold.
    Probably 1-2 mil.
    Just keep an eye out in AH and world chat.

    Bracers of blood moon, for the price they go for, its not really worth it, levelling from 60 is pretty easy.

    The thing is Blood moon is resellable for more than you put in to make it and can fund your 99-100 gears unlike the OHTs that sell for **** and TT80-90 that bind. Also it has -.1 interval vs .05 and has more physical defense than the other bracers due to the +physical def add. They're even socket efficient since they're so low level you can 4 socket them for the extra sharding. The best part is you get this big advantage all the way from level 60. Yes leveling past 60 is easy but during the journey from 90-100 those bracers are still top tier.
