Can we talk about Circlet of Shadow?

[Homesteaded]

Roughly two months ago they were going for 15-18k, now people are trying to sell them for 40k. These are not selling, I've tried to buy multiple and the people just stop responding. It's all a price hike scam beware.

[Trexller]

that's dumb

only 2 classes can use it, and it hasn't been that great of an item for like ~7 years or so now since they nerfed the FD/insta click invis split pull method

[ithaqua]

It’s an amazing item for a levelling charming necro, great convenience with insta charm break without having to swap target. Pretty handy general purpose tool too, weird price spike though. Paid 11k for mine six months ago /shrug

The item doesn't drop anymore and its one of the only pieces of gear that makes a noticeable difference on one of the most popular classes in the game. If you dont like it go buy a goblin gaz ring or be content with the circlet that has a 2 second cast time.

Why are elder beads worth hundreds of thousands of plat when a 150pp Kunark Bard helm and 20pp stalking probes do the same thing?

I wouldnt sell my circlet for any amount of platinum on P99, there is a point platinum is basically worthless on P99. The price was low on Blue because the item was farmed for 5 years of Kunark before Velious came out.

no its not "amazing", no you don't have to "swap targets"

5 seconds

thats the difference between nerfed and pre-nerfed circlet of shadow

5 seconds

the entire thing it has going is insta-click, and if 5 seconds is gonna make-or-break your gameplay

then you suck at gameplay

[ithaqua]

No one said it’s going to make or break the class, it’s a great convenience item not a necessity

[cannobeers3]

A nice convenience.

15-18K seems fair at this point on green.

But it is the best charm break item by far. As great as a gobby ring is for enchanters, you still have a couple extra keystrokes. That means quite a bit in high-leverage solo situations.

40K? Nah. That is silly.

[Dogz_SS]

It's amazing. The ability to get back up after FD is make or break.

Same thing happened on blue, just deal with it

I think the target switching comment is comparing COS to the goblin gazughi ring. The gazughi ring requires you to target yourself before clicking invis to break charm. It's nice QOL bump to not have to do that for sure with the instant COS.

[Toxigen]

Its amazing and is well worth every inflated penny. Sorry Green is now late Velious and platinum is abundant.

Can't afford it? Sucks to suck. Consider staring at walls in a raid guild for a few months...should get you enough DKP to sell a Z heart or two.

It's great for necro charming, but that's mostly just done in one zone unless it's a group and you're keeping your pet permanently anyway.

Instant invis is always convenient to have for general living, but hardly a big deal. Saves having to memorize the spell or getting in trouble if it fades in a bad spot.

They made it so you can no longer stand up from FD and click it to avoid re-aggroing. That means the item is no longer an actual increase in your character's potential.

This item will continue to go up in price, It is an amazing item to be Fd/instant click as you stand to drop agro. Would I pay 40k? No, but I farmed like 12 of these when they were dropping:), sold them early on for like 10-20k then gave rest away to friends/guildies kept 1 for myself. Go out and farm, get it now before blue/green merge and they jump to 60k+

[Spit]

I mean pre nerf cos is incredible, but standing up and instant clicking invis doesn't drop aggro itself. It does however allow you to escape certain situations where you cant necessarily stand up run away and FD quickly as FD isn't instant for necros and sks.

>imagine NOT having a CoS
(lol)

[Enderenter]

If you don't like the high price of a pre nerf item, just used the nerfed version. It's always much cheaper and for casual use cases it's probably mostly as effective. (Not counting nerfed items like Guise or Fungus Staff where the prenerf could be clicked by any class)

This.

[Tunabros]

imagine not camping cos and corpsing it 40 times to sell

I necro charm soloed exclusively from around 30 to 60, tons of great spots, fastest method by far. Then, once you get to raiding, you get to charm in Hate/Fear and do some decent damage, being able to easily break instantly without targeting is amazing.

People saying the post-nerf is "only 5 seconds" are short-sighted, 5 seconds vs instant is huge, COS is permanent invis without inconvenient breaks or the need to stop, important not only for dungeons but general travel as an evil race/class. Also, if you add together all the times you click a COS over the life of a character, I bet you're saving literally 100s of hours.
