Hehe I dunno if they're worth 15k PP but they do seem to be a pretty rare
drop. I spend a LOT of time in Karnors and haven't seen them drop but twice
(I got the first set, another friend of mine got the second). And I have
yet to see the gloves drop. Anyone know what critter drops them?

> Last night some guildmates and I decided to camp the giants in FV
(it's rarely taken on The Rathe). After breaking the camp, we settled into
a nice three hour session of "Pop-n-Pull", (Me-34th lvl bard, 36 druid, 39
then dinged to 40 druid, a 40-ish mage, then later a 32 druid joined us),
except for one time where our puller pulled one and another spawned right in
his path. While the exp was nice, the loot was not worth our time. All
told, we came away with 1 Black Pearl, 1 Axe of the Iron Back, a Word, and a
sum total of 10pp in coins. Was I expecting Forest Loops in every drop?
No. But to personally loot 8-9 giants and have 5 or 6 with *nothing* (no
items or money) is just wrong. From even just a coinage standpoint, I would
have come out muuuuch better by far if I had just gone to SK and camped the
Hermit :oP
> Is it my imagination, or did someone at Verant make a comment along the
lines of loot being comparable to the difficulty of the creature? FYI:
those giants are quite tough ;o)~

Saw a level one bard mule last night auctioning SS Boots. He told me he can
get 15k plat for them. For that much, I'ld rather just try to organize a
guild event in Karnor's and loot them myself :oP
