I have a pair of these nifty boots that I made myself. Except mine are Reinforced Leather and have 1 AC more.
The studded variety and the reinforced seem to have the same stats except that the reinforced are one more AC accross the board. They are tougher to make as well. Both follow the standard Leather recioes except they use Brute Hides for studded and HQ Brute hides for reinforced. They both require an imbued plains pebble and a vial of acorn oil.
I am making a lot of this stuff on the Bertox server. And I's much rather sell to players than to merchants. send me a tell.
Talk to Ulrich or Moravia, I made and sold several pairs over the past few days for 1k pp each. These sell great there are NO cheap alternatives to these boots (withered leather, eboots, etc), both of which are lower AC than the studded vale! I've also made the reinforced vale boots, same stat bonuses but 7 AC. Bring me Brute Hides from Kunark or Plains Pebbles foraged in the Karnas and I will make them for ya MUCH cheaper though. :)
Thanks to whoever found the way to create the imbued vale items. I was hoping you could post a little bit about where you found the items and info needed to create these things. The boots and belt are the 2 I am interested in myself but any info would be helpful. TIA and safe travels to you all.
You Find the Acorns in Misty Thicket, just laying on the ground....they just spawn on the ground...combine an acorn with a flask of water in the Brewing Thing to make acorn oil. Not sure when its trivial though.
