How much will earth staff go for when epics drop?

[Vdaria]

I was thinking 500k, does that sound like a good number? Trying to figure out just how many hill giants I'm gonna have to kill.

[SyanideGas]

You're probably in the ballpark for sure

[Jimjam]

What liquid worth do the top two mages own?

[putrid_plum]

I heard mages don't even want their epics, thats what all the posts say... they say water pet plus staff is the true mage epic.

Velious really missed the boat for mages. There should have been a level 60 monster summoning spell with a primal focusing staff that would pull the juvenile form of the sleeper (as a white drake) as a pet which combined the powers of all 4 elements.... but give it dragon breath just to make enchanters hate it.

Yeah the 60 water pet and the water staff focus makes a pretty badass pet. It's 2nd best pet to epic. my 60 mage on blue has been epicless for years and doing fine. Epic pet is a badass but you cannot chain pets nearly as effectively. You pretty much gotta start with epic pet and then chain 57 earth or 60 water.

Also the earth staff on blue goes for like 800k to 1 million. I would expect green to be about there, given that there will be so many more people trying to get it

[Nirgon]

epic MQ sales are gonna get cry bullied big time

[Bones]

yeah unfortunately the earth staff never went for less than like 500k afaik and topping out at as high as 800k~ish to even a million plat for its average price on blue. How many years of kunark and velious is that with that staff still being one of the most valuable drops in the game?

It doesnt help that green has an over excessive amount of mages compared to what even blue had. Trying to get epic as a mage on green is going to be an absolute shit show of biblical proportion, especially once the farm team starts permacamping their farm bots at the fountain and tailoring their in game and IRL schedule around farming earth staff for months to possibly even years like they did/probably still doing on blue.

I got it on blue and I really wanna get it on green for some reason. But you're right, water staff plus water pet is really damn good.

[Pint]

Gms going to make yall share inny or is the top guild not using Dkp?

[turbosilk]

I imagine it won't be for sale for a long time.

[Jimjam]

Maybe not on the open market, but I’m sure there will be favours paid and politics played to ‘buy’ the first one...

[Castle2.0]

I wouldn't bet on a specific price, but I would bet it's close to whatever a manastone is selling for on Green.

Maybe the first few that go on market will go for a premium, but within a few months of epics being out, 1 manastone work of plat is my prediction.

[Baler]

500k-1m plat unless the staff make a change

remember that EPIC comes at the END of Kunark!

[Christina.]

Water staff + 60 pet is great but nothing like having that cool looking orb in your hand lol.

[Izmael]

If anything, mage epic looks amazing indeed.

[Bigsham]

drops from trash on aradune every mage gets an epic !

one a week on p99 green LOL ( not even every week )

Bump that thread where you have everything but your earth staff asking for help we all need a chuckle

Why do you play here then? You seem to enjoy easy mode TLPs a lot more so why are you here at all?

[MaCtastic]

Those who think green is toxic now have another thing coming once epics drop. We may lose some players due to blood pressure complications.

[Swish]

Fat cats / guild bankers this is your chance to make it a 7-figure amount.

[Swish]

What are you implying Jimjim?

[Baler]

Get into one of those non-dkp guilds and kiss ass to the guild leader. :rolleyes:

ps. Never done this and still did well for myself.

&@Jimjam, I hear ya loud and clear, no doubt.

Accepting apps for <dial a VP key> that will have someone camping the VP mobs 24/7

LMAO, real

It's going to be petition quest..

[Jibartik]

<Dial a VP key> has decided that VP will be off limits until nerfs, to better balance the server.

[Nuggie]

The offers from one of the current staves are pretty steep, and epics are a year away.

Also, focus earth pet is 2x the monster focus water pet is.

[Nuggie]

The VP key dropped don't come until VP, right? So right before Velious? I honestly don't see key parts selling for that much with everyone farming HoT gear.

[Jibartik]

Haha truthfully I don’t know kunarks schedule

[Castle2.0]

I don't know about this one bros...

Sounds like someone selling an item whilst hyping the price of said item.

Can you at least have bullet points why it it's so awesome and actually make a freaking case here?

I bet Lineage will have the VP mobs on lockdown since they can't kill anything else :D:D:D:D

I farmed my epic on blue. I sat there at the fountain and hit track every 10 sec for like 3 months, beating farm team with my guild occasionally and finally getting my staff. I don’t want to do that again, and even if I did many mages both in my guild and outside my guild would do the same thing; moreover I can’t camp it anyway because I have a job now. I can however trade up to the value of the staff...eventually. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be happy to pay eg 50k for the staff, but that’s just not going to happen.

[zodium]

imagine if they had just dramatically increased the drop rates on the dozen or so items for which we all possessed perfect foreknowledge would be a huge quagmire from both live and the decade long beta test of green

In fairness you are assuming the "farm team" actually saw the staff drop more then twice lol.

[Vdaria]

yeah that's true; i bet they were as disappointed as me every time they won magi and got an apothic crown. and anyway I'm not saying they were some degenerate force of evil, I'm just saying when you add any competition at all, camping the staff is almost too difficult (esp. if you have a life outside the game) and at the very least not much fun.

[Bigsham]

yea all these kids have life outside p99

funny

[Vizax_Xaziv]

I'm just gonna assume that the Earth Staff will basically be invaluable for the life cycle of Green.

If any DO actually end up for sale they'll be north of 1 million plat easy.
