Miscellaneous: Newbie drops - selling for (much) more than classic?

[Malrubius]

So I got a friend of mine to start up on P1999, and he pointed out that a lot of the lowest level trash mobs drop stuff that sells for several gold here.

Now that he mentions it, I notice the same thing... <EDIT - bat fur is a bad example - venom sacs, some rusty weapons, etc., sell for several gold> Lots of other stuff like this. You can have 100pp from selling your yard trash drops by the time you are level 10.

Memory is a funny thing, but I do know that this was not the case back in the 99-01 timeframe. I know a few plat was a huge deal at the time. I can have a few plat by the time I'm level 2 or 3 now - without leaving sight of the guards.

I don't have any proof of this or documentation, but maybe it's out there somewhere. Can anybody else back this up? Devs - can we just nerf the drops (or more likely, the vendor pricing of the drops)?

I seem to remember bat fur being one of those 5s 5c items or something.

We can easily change the pricing of anything. Just post a link or reference what it should be.

According to Alakazam it should sell for 1s 5c. That sounds about right:

I also believe that noob item prices are too high, i remember 3pp being a lot of money at lvl 5 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] if i'd scraped together 10pp for that illustrious RTS by the time i was level 10 i was happy.

A quick list of everything my level 3 enchanter has in his bags right now.

115 CHA, Kindly Considers

Bat Fur, 1s 5c (I want your 5g Bat Furs ^.~)
Ruined Wolf Pelt (No Stack), 1s
Black Wolf Skin (No Stack), 1g 9c (rarer drop, first one I've seen out of 30 or so wolves)
Crushbone Belt, 4s
Chunk of Meat, 1s 4c
Wasp Wing, 1s
Wolf Meat, 1s
Bat Wing, 1s
Tiny Dagger, 1s (chanter bought item)
Small Box (No Stack), 1g 9s (Bought them for 2g 1c)
Cloth Gloves (No Stack), 2g 5s 7c
Small Cloth Sleeves (No Stack), 2g 1s 7c

Giant Wasp Venom Sac (No Stack), 3g 9s
That one may be a little on the high end, but I can't say for certain. I was a Qeynos player back in classic for just about every character. And from playing Hiragawa there for five levels, the prices seem about right.

The only things I've noticed that feel far too high are the weapons. A few of the rusty weapons go for a silver or two, and then some go for 5 gold o.o

And I'm not sure when the price change went in that kicked the Cracked Staff and the like up to 1p+, so I can't say if that was the right price for classic or not.

Marked (No Stack) items since they usually sell at a higher price then stackables.

[Kainzo]

Cracked staff was always 1pp - at least from Kunark onward - I remember seeing it and going "my god, jackpot!"

[Hiragawa]

Yeah, that's what I mean Kainzo. It's been so long, I'm not sure if it was 1p in vanilla or added in Kun/Vel

Venom sacs, (and poison sacs from like snakes etc) are considered rarer and actually worth that little extra. Dunno where you're finding 5g bat furs, to the other dude...
