Thex Dagger

[ahab_mcgoober]

Hi Everyone!

I'm fairly new to P1999. I played on live until about 2004, but am excited to be back in this community.

I am trying to get this Thex Dagger and can't seem to find Tearon Bleanix in his spawn spot in High Keep. In the wiki there is a pretty straight forward way to get the bracer, but I have seen other places that show the full lore of doing the Highpass Lottery quest to get him to spawn.

I'm just not certain if it's already been removed, if I need to do some of those lore quests to get him to respawn, or if I just need to wait longer.

Thanks

DDAY was May 1st, its long gone

Thex Dagger is gone. A lot of folks have got a bunch of them. I'm one of those folks. Sold one for 375 to someone yesterday. See if you can't buy one for cheap, and if you can't find anyone, come see me.

Same thing with the Abu boxes. People are selling them for outrageous prices (anything remotely over 2k), but if you can't find anyone who's not out of their mind, come see me.

[Baler]

Willing to trade my thex dagger and abu box for a manastone. PM me

[drackgon]

i have 14 thex daggers and 28 abu boxes.. But not selling them until at kunark

[Cen]

The abu boxes will explode in demand a couple days before kunark launches because outside of the first server week that is the time of most character generation.

[Baler]

tinker bags are about 5k,.
abu box will be about 5k

I expect ec fat cats to raise the price however because it no longer drops, ooh wow ahh
There are a frig ton on green though.

[Izmael]

Shouldn't go much higher than 5k really.

It's ~10k on Blue.

Tink bag > Abu box because tink bag doesn't have the screeching opening sound effect.

Best thing about Tink bag? It's not lore.

If you're not sporting seven Tink bags with an open slot for the lazy clicker what are you doing? I mean whatever, but you're not winning any fashionventory quests that's for sure.

[DMN]

10k on blue? Why? You can buy tink bags for 5k.

10k on blue? Why? You can buy tink bags for 5k.

novelty?

[Cen]

I vow to sell the best priced abu kar boxes during the crazy week before/during kunark release. I doubt ill ever sell them for over 2k. I will just undercut everyone by half I dont give a damn ;D

[Klagnar]

Shouldn't they be worth at least 4-5k, since that's what the Tinker bag costs?

They weigh 1.0 more then tink bags. 1 weight matters ;D

[Tilien]

Also supply matters. The price of tink bags are limited by merchant prices, the price of abu boxes are limited by the number of level 1 alts sellers made to hold their boxes.

If I want to buy a tink bag I HAVE to pay 5k.

If I want to buy a box I have probably 100 farmers to make offers to. If I'm the only buyer then it's worth whatever is better than nothing to the lowest priced farmer. It's that supply and demand thing.

I've waited 20 years to play on a server with a chance for Abu boxes and I wouldn't sell mine for any price. On live I started in October just missing a whole bunch of stuff.

[Cen]

Btw, since I posted my replies last week ive gotten a ton of requests for abu boxes and daggers. I've blown mostly through my extra supply of them now so I can't field any more.

Probably best to just think of them as mildly elastic related goods.

If the tink bag were a perfect substitute for abu box then there would functionally be a binding price floor on both bags (nobody would ever pay 6k for abu box if they get the same thing exact thing as a tink bag for 5000, or whatever they cost with high charisma).

Of course, they aren't exact substitutes. The big return on abu boxes isn't going to come right now...its marginal benefit is relatively small compared to the future demand one can expect on this item. The real return kicks in when collector's are willing to pay tons for an item that no longer drops in the case of abu box.

The timeline is narrower on green than blue...but I'd expect to see enough time to see plenty of new players come at kunark and velious launch...and some of them will pack mule collectors...they pay the big bucks for pixels that they want. Same with thex dagger. Put that bitch away in the bottom of your bank and sell it late velious for what will eventually be worth more than some epics...

Legacy items become NODROP to the toon they're on when server recycles right? So no use spending time on green leveling up a necro, waiting till velious, and /listing for holgresh elder beads when I can just use that time to farm the plat way before end of cycle of green and just buy it on blue yeah?

Manastones yes, thex daggers and box of abu kar? Ain’t no one buying that on blue, so I highly doubt anyone would be paying top dollar for those in velious.

I believe that is just wild elf-forum speculation.
