(prenerf) Circlet of Shadow Market Speculation

They were farmed literally 24/7 for years of Kunark, I'm hoping the price stays low or even drops for new players like some "entry level" items have. Here's to hoping, for those who don't have one yet.

Logic (or common sense?) seems to suggest that the prices will only rise. It's not very hard to see that, considering the number of items (even if there are many) will no longer rise, but the number of necromancers and shadowknights will continue to. Even without considering how important the item is to necros, this is not hard logic to follow. When you add the necessity aspect...

I can say from personal experience that this item is as essential for a necromancer as many spells. If I think about all the times leveling from 40+ (after I bought CoS)...I've utilized my CoS more often than I use fear, probably. It is used for every part of the efficient charm process, it's used for travel, it's used right after FD, enables numerous strategies, etc.

Honestly, if I met a necromancer above 50 who did not have a pre-nerf CoS and never used one, I would assume they are not knowledgeable of the class, and are not even close to their full potential. I understand some necromancers not having it due to it being a first toon and needing to save plat, but that's the only excuse I would accept. After level 50ish, it's pretty much inexcusable to not have and use a CoS. It's like not having screaming terror, or DMF. I would never, ever, get rid of my CoS.

If the supply of an essential class item stops, but the demand continues to grow, you think the price would DECREASE? [You must be logged in to view images.
