Thanks a lot for the advice.. I asked mainly because I am unsure if keeping
the haste gloves are the most bang for the bucks considering the other gear
I have.. Furthermore I often feel that my damage output with weapons really
cant stack up with what I add to a group with my instruments. So improving
my own haste have never been _that_ important to me. Am I way off on the
feeling that improving haste isent a main issue for us bards?
Things I considered trying to trade these gloves for are:
- Better weapons
- Better armor (singing steel BP *grin yeah right*)
- Better instruments??
Well Im still in doubt what will be the most bang for my bucks *shrug* Its
the first time I have had an item this valuable...
