Hello Everyone,

I was wondering why a Crafted Velium Spear (http://wiki.project1999.com/Crafted_Velium_Spear) costs ~2,700.

It has no stats, it's not quest related and other than being a 11/23 weapon I can't find a reason other than....just cuz.

Does anyone know?

Thanks.

1. It doesn't.
2. It has a sick graphic.

This site is more up to date for pricing:

With rogue epic not usable until 46, the above isn't a bad cheap option.

It looks like one person trying to sell at 2.7k versus several selling at 2k over the past month.

You can get the same/better ratio of Velium <whatevers> for ~1k. Spears are always going to be more expensive because of 1) Rogue twinks and 2) slick graphic.

Unless you're a rogue or in love with the look, there are plenty of better weapons for the same price point.

I just didn't understand the price point at all.

The only thing this weapon has is a slic graphic and a decent ration. (11/23)

Why is this up there in price at all? As you stated, there are better weapons w/ stats and procs for a lot less.

When you have been on this box for so long and have 10 level 60s alts all you really care about is fashionquest.

Fashionquest really is the ultimate goal - You can kill Velious raid targets in full Kunark gear if needed... BiS gear is complete overkill unless it also progresses your fashion quest in which case IT IS ALL THAT MATTERS AND MY LIFE WILL BE RUINED UNLESS I GET IT

Neckbeards like to keep item prices artificially high to make themselves feel special.

Omg kids these days. Back when I was growing up, we paid 2.5 to 3k for a CSS. We thanked the gentleman who sold it to us and meant it.
