    Haha, I remember everyone in BDC thought it would be a cove item and stocked up on dubloons. It does look pretty nice for its price though. Not too shabby!

    I'm thinking of buying one, but I know my reason would make me regret doing so in a few days:

    I like the shiny swirls. 8D

    Yea, that and those items are mainstays in the BD assets, they all trying to liquidate to tower tridents because not many people selling. Hence, the large amount of sellers drops price, gbomb and g-shield dipped a little for a while too. Good days for people with pure

    Yep.

    I'm kinda too lazy to post them all, but there've been loads.
    And there've been instances of downgrading and retirement, too.

    Err, the title is "new HT item." HT stands for "Hidden Tower." :)

    17-25 icons is awesome for 9m.

    It's good to see TNT has actually added something that's capable of doing over 10 water icons (constant). This should add a lot more strategy to 2P battling, and offers a cheaper alternative to SOS/PCC for 1P.

    I love it.

    And it's hella cool to look at

    Sweet looking for sure.

    First thing I thought when I seen the icons were, this thing gets pwned by ftab(ftab being faerie tabard for ya non-battlers).

    The price per icon is pretty good, though. Would be nice to carry around a sos and -insert abbreviation for this new item-, not many people have both a ftab and gshield.

    Looks like the best thing for the price since yblaster doing 13 at a mil.

    Yeah, but now at least Ftab has some use now as a full-blocker for water.

    Same goes for EKST and dehydration potion and all of those previously wasted blockers

    Yeah does add alot of strategy to 2p. Now I have to decide whether to carry g-shield or ftab in my set as I cant afford both. Many BDers are saying SOS and KT (my abbreviation) will noe become a popular combo in 2p. What do you all think?

    I agree with the SOS + KT combo. (Considering I use it now too :p) I recently got an ftab for my equipment cause it seems like the weapon is growing more and more popular. But imo, I still think more people use SOS... so the g-shield still may be a better option. Tough one though...
