Inv gizmo rocketboot 01

Goblin Rocket Boots are slightly terrifying pair of Goblin designed boots designed to aid in a quick getaway.

Background

These thick leather boots are lined with metal plates on the front, back, and on the soles. The underside of each sole contains two small jets, and when activated the device jets emit powerful blasts of fire, propelling an individual forward and increasing his running speed. Goblin rocket boots require an experimental substance called goblin rocket fuel. The boots have been known to malfunction and explode injuring the wearer and creatures around him.[1]

Source

Goblin Rocket Boots are created by engineers who have specialized in Goblin engineering, and have a minimum skill of 225.

The components are:
Inv boots 05 1x [Black Mageweave Boots] Inv musket 01 2x [Mithril Tube]
Inv misc leatherscrap 07 4x [Heavy Leather] Inv cask 02 2x [Goblin Rocket Fuel]
Inv battery 01 1x [Unstable Trigger]

The recipe for this item can be learned from a Goblin Engineering trainer.

Notes

During patch 2.3.2 the boots were hotfixed to require an Engineering skill of 225 to use, though it does not appear in the patch notes. The boots do indeed explode, and on average, after only two or three goes. The explosion does no actual damage, but does knock you down, and leaves you with ruined boots, although some components can be recovered from the wreckage.

In general, a cost prohibitive way to escape from trouble, and the Inv boots 02 [Gnomish Rocket Boots] are generally considered a better choice as despite being slightly slower and requiring Engineering skill to wear, they don't get destroyed when they malfunction.

However, there are theories that the Goblin boot explosion can be avoided if the speed effect is cancelled before the 20 second span is reached in full. [1]

Still... a plan without Rocket Boots, is no plan at all...


Malfunction Effects:

Notes: Transforms Inv boots 05 [Black Mageweave Boots] (41 Armor, +7 Intellect and +11 Spirit) into Goblin Rocket Boots (41 Armor and Use effect) which function identically to Inv boots 02 [Gnomish Rocket Boots]. If other increased movement speed or invisibility items (Inv misc pocketwatch 01 [Nifty Stopwatch] and Inv gizmo 01 [Gnomish Cloaking Device]) are equipped when Rocket Boots are used, a 5 minute cooldown timer will trigger preventing consecutive use. However, potions and class abilities (Inv potion 95 [Swiftness Potion] and Rogue Ability rogue sprint [Sprint]) do not share this timer and may be used consecutively. Also, a Hunter's Ability mount jungletiger [Aspect of the Cheetah] and Ability mount whitetiger [Aspect of the Pack] will stack with this effect.
