Item Drops and Finds Version 2 - Post BB

Why would you use Sweetwaters for decent skills?

Wouldn't they be absolutely awful given that they're completely untradeable and cost like way more than Empress stuff, and presumably VL stuff now that they're also equip tradeblock.

I don't know about you, but I've switched between at least 4 different warriors since I got decent SE, and my Empress gloves have travelled through all of them.

 Spoiler

A few reasons:

1) They're not completely untradeable.
2) The higher stats is appealing. A perfect legendary empress glove on top of a SW ends up being around half of the top 10 dojo gloves range increase, which helps immensely for dojo itself. I can wear an SE/SI glove and be able to cast them whenever i want and not be completely weak and feel like i need to dojo. The SW hat actually gives me more range without even casting decAB because of the 2 set effect (i just sacrifice 30% boss, which isn't even really that much of a damage loss for me at this point, but still worse than with decAB of course) but this is of course useless without SW gloves anyway.
3) It's not as hard as you think to make. Aside from actually getting the materials, which you can totally do yourself, it isn't difficult to find legendary empress stuff for absolutely dirt cheap.
4) They look awesome.
