How Do I Get Boots?

[ColumbusGuy]

I see there is a category for boots in my generals' equipment--how do I get them? What items/monsters do I need to kill?
Thanks!

[Strider the Rogue]

well you can always check it here:
http://castleage.wikia.com/wiki/Equipment

But to summarize, there's currently only 3 sets of boots:
> Judgment Threads (2/2) from Azeron
> Redwyrm Greaves (5/3) from Vermilion
> Flamewalker Greaves (5/5) from Alchemy, but most of it's ingredients come from Thanatos of Fire... be aware though that one of it's ingredients (Crystalized Soul) comes from a CONNECTED monster from a DIFFERENT game that is Thanatos of Ice from Castle Age: Heart of Darkness

and to add on to what strider the rogue said. azeron and vermillion have a large divine shield to break through- (it takes 5 mil for 2 epics on vermillion and 18 mil for 2 epics on azeron).

for thanatos, you are alchemizing some very decent loot to get the boots. some people do not think it is worth it to alchemize because that stuff makes their war council. other people just decide to farm thanatos more so they can make boots and have their war council items.

And these, quite frankly, are stats that should be given to Rusty Boots, not monster lewtz.

I have helped kill lots of Thanatoses in HoD--no crystalline Soul yet...in another thread someone said you have to kill one from the other game? I was working on a T of Fire and Ice in CA just now, and saw some attackers from HoD--how do you do that?
I have no clue how divine items or this shield thing works..can some one explain a bit?

Thanatos and Thanatos of Ice are two different monsters in HoD. You need Thantos of Ice for the Crystalized dragon soul.

If you put in the monster code from the Thanatos of Fire you're fighting in CA it will get you the correct Thantos of Ice in HoD, but unless its a brand new monster it will already be dead because the HoD version is about 1,000 times easier to kill than the CA version.

Only really chase boots if you well can afford to do the damage, to get a chance at them. Or don't mind alchemizing some good items that would be in your war council.

columbus, here is heart of darkness game: http://apps.facebook.com/castle_hod/?ref=ts

you attack the thanatos of ice and fire through this game to get the soul. even if the orange ice dragon part is dead, you can still keep attacking through the HOD side and get damage on the fire side. do about 660k damage for an epic.

as for divine monsters and shields...divine shields block damage unless you have enough divine power to completely pierce the shield. the way to get divine power is through demi-rewards, chest generals, dexter the drunk gift item that is now expired, and fighting divine monsters and alchemizing equipment that has divine power. so pretty much you attack divine monsters to get more divine power...to attack harder divine monsters...to get more divine power...to attack harder divine monsters, etc.

for instance, jahanna blocks 10% damage.
azeron blocks 45% damage
vermillion blocks 50% damage

overall columbus, the boots out right now are all weak in stats. equipment doesnt really swing battles much anyway, so you arent missing out if you dont go after boots...or it takes a long time to get them.

[Goatherd]

12 Thanatos of Fire and Ice and still no boots (soul) - yes it takes a long time!
:rolleyes:

[rodpud]

hahahaa my timberland boots post and link was nuked!!! come on that was funny! guess your a uggs fan :P

on a real note ya it takes a min to get them from thantos... the drop was a PIA for me specially since at the time i wasnt that strong in HOD. Im still not but much stronger now so it would be easier to farm a 2nd i think

[Bristolen]

i did enough thanatoses to get 4 dragon souls. that is with me attacking the fire side from HOD side with only like 11 attack stat. getting the dragon souls isnt a big deal, especially if you dont even care which monsters you hit :p

[Caidi]

Yeah, just to add to the anecdotal evidence, I don't even play HoD, I only joined it to get the boots, and in 3 kills, I got 3 souls. 100% drop rate for me.

So really it just depends on luck, as long as you are fighting the right monster and doing the minimum damage.

[nickjill]

How much dmg did u do to get soul?

[Captain GoodNight]

How much dmg did u do to get soul?

on a safe side, 650K..

I got 2 souls consecutively for doing 650K damage in CA HOD

[Ineluki]

I broke down and made 3 Thanatos boots just because the war council upgrade from 0/0 to 5/5 is more than the slight boost I get from the 34/34 axes. Only have 1 axe now.

That is not good enough! Basic boots should be available for purchase just like short swords, leather armor, etc. I understand to get powerful items you should have to defeat monsters, but I don't know of any adventurers (real or fake) that left the house without boots!!!

Hobbits? All of them?

LOL :D 10char

Short version:

Boots require you to do one of two things:

1. Convert to a heavy CCing Monster Hunter (so as to keep up in the race for Divine Armor)

2. Play HoD as well as Castle Age

go to walemart, they sell starting at $5

There are 6 pairs of boots in CA, Vermy's boots drop fairly easy, but deathwalker boots from Kessaran are only a Rare
