Actually, it has to do with neither of those. It has everything to do with one very specific goal: helping the guild level. I can't level until I accomplish that. So in a way, I kinda want to earn my gift, if that makes any sense at all.I figured you would want to show off some awesome armor first. I also accept both. Whichever is done or finished first.
Besides, I don't have the money to buy reduction Bs, remember? No new armor until 105 as a result.
