Pre-Nerf Fungi Covered Great Staff

[KentalCowtipper]

Yes, one is actually for sale.
Taking offers. Last one sold for 3.5mill so no, I'm not going to take 800k for it.
Send me a PM.

[quido]

prenerf is called "Fungus" not "Fungi" =)

good luck with sale bro!

[KentalCowtipper]

Thanks Jer. My fault for mistyping that. But yeah, it is the pre-nerf version

[quido]

Yes, I am good at remembering things. It's really difficult.

I offer 1.5 million plat

[KentalCowtipper]

I would do 3.25 million but only for you jerjer

[quido]

Well my offer stands if you can't get what you want after a while =) A pal of mine from red was trying to sell his on blue and couldn't even get an offer over 1 million after a couple of weeks. He decided to just wait until Velious to sell his. Food for thought!

[KentalCowtipper]

Yes, that makes sense as to why you would offer me 1.5 mill but 2 weeks ago you wouldn't even give your friend from red a million.
C'mon mang....

[Supaskillz]

This guy might trade you a RoM... If he's feeling generous

Excuse me? I would have offered him the same amount if we had talked about it more before he decided to postpone his sale. I don't expect to get yours (or his) for 1.5 million but I figured I would be doing you a favor by clearing out a bunch of lowball offers. And maybe there's a chance you would eventually sell for this amount in a month or two if you couldn't find a better offer.

I'm not trying to get you to lower your price - I was just giving you an honest account of a similar sales situation that a pal encountered. The fact that you think I would lie to your face with some kind of motive when I already own one and don't want another that badly is kind of insulting, bro. That being said, I think the days of these selling for over 3 million are over. Between TMO bank (the buyer of the previous 4 or 5 prenerf staves?) not being what it was, and a lot of plat being gone from RMT bans, you might want to consider not clinging to the 3+million figure so tightly.

[KentalCowtipper]

I understand what you are saying but the fact of the matter remains this is the best item in EQ. The penultimate. As good as it gets.
IB's guild bank has 10mill + (considering what zee shifted over to there). Catherine has 15mill + banked from her farming. There is plat out there. If they want a pre-nerf staff, I'm here.

[Miser]

The penultimate.

[Loke]

I'm not sure if this is what Miser was trying to point out, but "penultimate" is used to describe the second to last in a series (latin: paene - almost, ultimus - last), implying that pre-nerf is the second best item on the server. Pretty sure penultimate is the most misused word in undergrad history papers.

Also, bump for seller!

[KentalCowtipper]

Interestingly enough, I actually did use penultimate in the correct grammatical sense. I was meaning this is the best item in EQ sans artifact, one per server GM reward items - think Oakwynd bow that was awarded to the BoTB ranger winners on each server. In that regard the pre-nerf staff would be a lesser item. I think I'm getting across what I was trying to signify with using that word.
Anyway, bump for a pre-nerf staff for sale.

[Splorf22]

There are a lot of items that are better, though. The staff is good, but its price is driven up by lack of supply, not demand.

If there were only 10 Leatherfoot Raider skullcaps on the server, they would sell for millions each.

P.S. Free bump! Haven't seen you around much Kental!

[KentalCowtipper]

Yeah, I decided over the last 6-9 months that I was getting very bored with the game as it stands. So I haven't been on much. About a week ago I got to thinking - why have an item that is so good just sit and rot? I kicked around the idea of giving it to 1 person but that doesn't seem fair. So after I sell it I'm going to give away 90% of the plat. Remember my 250 person trivia event a couple years ago? Like that, but on a much bigger scale. I'll bank the remainder on the off chance I come back for velious.

I get the principle you're trying to go for with the Leatherfoot cap and true, if they were limited in number the price would be way higher. But you're neglecting the fact that it is useful in a very small number of situations. The staff is much more useful in the majority of situations. I've leveled countless alts to 30 plus, very fast, with merely a fungi tunic and self regrowth.
Also, have you ever seen what a necro (or properly geared iksar monk) can do with the additional self regrowth? Its downright disturbing. That is why the staff was nerfed so fast in the first place. With an 1100 ac plus iksar monk and triple self regen you can solo ALOT. I still think Flippie (back when I had him for a couple years) is the only pure melee on your solo artist challenge list to do stuff solo.
Anyway, the staff can and is a game dynamic changing item in the right hands. Maybe I'll get an offer, maybe not. We'll see.

I think this is a good offer...just putting my 2 cents in. Good luck with the sale!

[Sweetbaby Jesus]

Bump for an old pal. Thanks again for helping the Battle Buddies out in the past. Sorry to see ya goin.

holy shit this is in ECT. Mod delete!

[KentalCowtipper]

Thanks for shitting up my sell thread with a meme stating I'm going to do something that I am most definitely not going to do. If you knew your ass from a hole in the ground, you would know over the last 4-5 years ive given away millions of plat in items and coin to random people.
Rustytaco is an example. When he was lvl 30 and wearing leather armor I remember I gave him and his warrior friend a combined 100k or so? This was about 3 years ago. Why? Because they were nice people and this is a fucking video game. Plus I like to help people. For you to come to my legitimate EC thread and insinuate I'm going to RMT platinum without facts or reason behind such an insinuation just pisses me the hell off.

[quido]

I offer 1.6 million.

imo you should just raffle this thing off - 100 tickets @ 30k each

[Supaskillz]

Jeremy, I thought you retired from blue.

[quido]

I did, and now I'm sitting on like 3 million plat. May as well try to invest some of it =)

[Supaskillz]

Uh oh Jeremy revealed available funds, hold out for 3 mil kental

Also WTs 55 ench on red 3 mil blue plat

[quido]

I'm not paying market value for a second staff =P only buying if the price is right. We'll see where this goes - the high rollers here (with the exception of TMO bank) have repeatedly proven they're not willing to bite the bullet on the cost of a pre-nerf staff. In the end I could see Kental accepting my offer following a long drawn-out sale similar to the first staff I bought from platlord =P

[Frieza_Prexus]

IB's guild bank has 10mill + (considering what zee shifted over to there)..

Honestly sorry to keep the derail going, but are you (or anyone else) willing to PM me an rough accounting of what was transferred from the old bank to IB?

[quido]

I know this isn't the place, but Zeelot assured me the bank was intact and just remaining dormant until such a time as he or his crew wants to start another big thing here. I have no reason not to take him at his word.

Lots of speculation.

[patrick210]

why would he transfer over his banked items/plat to our bank ? seems absurd

[Kingore]

This.

Bump for crazy plat giveaway/trivia thing. Sounds fun!

[KentalCowtipper]

Bump.

[Fysts]

I would buy 1 ticket at 30k just for a shot.

[isiah]

I would also pay 30k for a ticket.

I would be even more in favor of the trivia, as I would own all.

[stormer21]

i offer one of my kidneys and a lobe of my liver.

[Splorf22]

I'd buy a ticket for shits and giggles. It probably wouldn't be that hard to setup a raffle

[KentalCowtipper]

I'm starting to think about a raffle more and more since I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on that idea.
If you would join a raffle for 30k (100 tickets) post here saying you would so I can gauge the level of interest. Understand that I would need to collect the plat up front prior to the raffle because it would be a nightmare trying to collect after.

[Argh]

I probably would as well.

[Pint]

ill buy a ticket

[Ravager]

I would likely buy a ticket.

[Nestea]

i'd buy a ticket

[quido]

I'd buy 50 tickets

[Sweetbaby Jesus]

Would there be a limit? cause 1 person buying 50 tickets put the rest of us at a pretty severe disadvantage. even tho there is still a chance to win it. seems more fair to limit a player to 5 tickets max or something like that.

[Detoxx]

Id buy 1(5) ticket(s), for sure

[Splorf22]

Would there be a limit? cause 1 person buying 50 tickets put the rest of us at a pretty severe disadvantage. even tho there is still a chance to win it. seems more fair to limit a player to 5 tickets max or something like that.

Why? Your chance is not affected. If someone buys 99 tickets, there is a 99% chance they get a 1% discount, and a 1% chance they hate their life.

[Detoxx]

Or if you buy 5 tickets, your 5% chance is still a....5% chance

[Yonkec]

Raffle much? Thats kinda the entire point of a raffle friend. You buy your way into the odds.

[skorge]

id prob buy a ticket too

[arsenalpow]

Bump the price to 50k, it will discourage mass buying.

The raffle could fire once you've sold all 100 tickets. An easy 5m profit.

[TWDL_Prexus]

Came here for drama, found none! Goodluck with the raffle. I'd probably be in for a few if this goes down.

[Nivar Quartz]

Would most likely be interested in a block of tickets at 30k a pop, of course there is raffle software that could be streamed to make such a thing legit...

[Splorf22]

Personally I wouldn't pay 50k for a ticket, although I'm sure some would.

As I said earlier in the thread, I think this is a bit of a vanity item. It's certainly very useful, but I remember having a conversation with Catherin and he basically said that 3M pp buys a lot of shaman regeneration potions. And Jeremy is probably right; the price was inflated by TMO a bit with their ridiculous guild bank. I'm guessing with patience (i.e. 1-2 months) it would sell for 2-3M pp.

[Kingore]

any update?
