Talk:Sleeping stocking
So, wuzzis do then? I'm asking here instead of the housing talk page because I'm hoping for a more direct response (if that makes any sense). The other Hobopolis beds grant elemental protection and as the spell variants this time deal with physical damage, I'm baselessly assuming that this gives some kind of physical resistance. Can anyone back me up?--Tombot 00:06, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
No numbers, but the flavour text for examining my housing seems to coroborate this: 'You sleep in a giant stocking. It keeps you feeling safe and secure, even when you're not in it!'

- Based on that it sounds like it grants physical resistance, like the other beds grant resistances of their own (and nothing else). gonna modify the article to reflect that. Argus 05:58, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- I tested with DemonStar, which gives you shields based on your DA. My shields were at 116 without the stocking, and 116 with it. So yeah, unless there's a bug, it doesn't give you DA.
- Anyone want to test DR? --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 23:59, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Random speculation here, but could it have to do with PVP?--AtGNAT 19:45, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Jick specifically stated it was Damage Reduction. --Lxndr 21:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Obtainability
While this is no longer obtainable from the areas listed. It still is from the fax is it not? So strictly speaking its still available just not in those locations. Discordance 23:06, 1 February 2013 (CET)
- As far as I'm aware the Hobelfs are still perfectly faxable and sleeping stocking are still obtainable that way. To my best understanding however, we mark items as obsoleted when there's no regular method to get them from where they originally dropped. While for me, my clan's Fax Machine (and Faxbot) are accessible, I would wager that most players don't have such luxuries. If you feel like the Fax should be listed as a zone/obtain method of some kind, be my guest, but there are many items that become obtainable that way... --Yatsufusa 00:28, 2 February 2013 (CET)
- Confirming that I received a sleeping stocking from a faxed Hobelf. --Baltar (talk) 03:15, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
