Quick Check on Blessing of the Zephyr
BoTZ used to have a bit higher bonus for the +def for Range and AoE with only 3 slots used but got reduced because it was deemed too good an IO set for travel powers with minimal slot investments. Compare that to other sets,say for example,Lockdown. That requires 6 slots to get a +3.75% range compared to BoTZ needing 2 to easily get +3.13% to range.
Many took advantage of it and although I wasn't in beta to test it,those that were voiced their concerns on it going live with the higher bonuses for minimal slot investments going live. It went live as is.
Many knew it was too good to to be true and expected it to get fixed and it did,for issue#17.
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Blessing_of_the_Zephyr for the past numbers of it before it got changed to what we have today.
BoTZ used to be worth a lot more but since it got changed,the price dropped significantly as well. Just as well,all good things must come to an end. Besides,it isn't too bad nowadays,with ATO's and other new content,it wasn't hard to adjust and redo builds.
They can be purchased from Reward Merit merchants,in Ouroboros from Astral Christy(Astral Merits only),Fort Trident in AP(Heroes alignment only,with Alighnment merits)/The Crucible in Cap Au Diable(Villain faction only,with Alignments only). You can also get them as drops and they are available for sale from Wentworth/Blackmarket/Trading house as well. You can buy it from other players too if you can find any willing to sell them,to avoid the market taking in your % from listing it too.
They are not available to purchase from the Paragon Market at the moment,but who knows if they will ever,except for the developers.
(Forgot to add,they use invention salvage,nothing else special and there's a table in ParagonWiki that has a good list of the drop rates and categories you get them from.) http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Invent...hancement_Sets

It may be that VK just needs to know to look for them under the Universal Travel Powers catagory, where they live along with the other oddball travel power goody Winter's Gift.
Playing with mids at work, trying to make a build for my spider and this little gem of a set keeps coming up. It goes in tons of powers, helps cover my AoE and KB gaps, only takes three slots, and slotting it improves the travel powers! Plus it's an unusual increase number. The only other set using it relevant to my build is Miracle, so I could potentially throw this in FOUR travel powers. Since I'm positional defense I have Hover, CJ, my actual travel power, plus potentially recall friend or something.
I'm just looking to find out what the catch is before I call my build done, done, done.
Paragonwiki doesn't show any way to buy it with the various kinds of reward tokens. Is this some kind of super rare drop? Cost a bagillion influence at the desk? Use a salvage item that only drops from Hamidon's big bad older brother?
