After spending the best part of 2 weeks flying around RK1 killing mobs, talking to NPC's and mercilessly interrogating every and any high lvl PC I've come across who looks remotely like they might have heard about this item or come across it, I am still none the wiser.
Dai-Galean says they're in the game, as does the GM I petitioned. Supposedly introduced in patch 13.5. If you follow the link you can see they come in various ql's http://auno.org/aodb.php?t=ag&cmd=se...ol+band&nano=0 which suggests mob drop or tradeskill to me.
What I find astonishing is how an item that has been in the game for so long has NEVER been seen by anyone I have talked to. A lvl 200 I queried in LR dungeon the other night hadn't even heard about them. A +40 boost to intelligence for a ql200 belt would go a long way towards making my opifex NT a bit more viable. I humbly ask anyone that has any information about this item to give me a clue. If it's an item that may become uber-camped if its location is published on the open forum then /tell me privately in-game and give me some cryptic idea, anything so's I know I'm not spending my time in vain. This is driving me nuts and I've wasted a lot of time looking. Maybe if I joined an uber-guild I'd get a clue in a hurry:/
Thanks in advance for any help.
