What is The Most Overpriced Piece of "Bad" Gear?

[Rooj]

I'm finding the prices people are selling new spells for absolutely hilarious. They are dropping like hotcakes, guy tries to sell me a LEVEL FORTY-FOUR SPELL for 2K, I buy it for 300p from another guy. Also saw a derp trying to sell a Frostbringer for 25K - the day before one was selling for 8K. *shakes head*

Some pricing is just naturally based on when the item is generally available to get as a drop or quested. Fresh players coming to the server generally get the same amount of plat through natural level progression as they did on live.

I would hypothesize that fresh players are actually much, much wealthier (whether in liquid funds or item progression) than they would have been on live during the same expansion time period with the trickle down of mid-tier and lower-high end Kunark gear being liquidated by high end players, giving away plat to newbies for spells, etc. Very few players have to level with rusty weapons.

Sure there are some items which have higher values, but the vast amount of plat farming (Pre & post Kunark), epic MQ farming, and extended timeline has caused far, far more wealth to circulate on P99 than live had (without exploits). High end players have hundreds of thousands in plat (some with millions) ready to get the items/MQs they want.

The problem is that nobody sells starter gear on this server. It took me a week to locate somebody who could make me a suit of banded armor and almost that long to locate a decent weapon I could afford, i.e. something that didn't cost hundreds of plat. And I was only able to buy that stuff because some guy randomly gave me a couple hundred plat. Someone who isn't as lucky as I was is going to have a really rough time rolling on a server where you can't buy a Mino Axe for 5pp at an appropriate level like you could in classic.

I swear someone was BP clicking on red yesterday, I'd better keep that to myself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I believe it's two nerfs. Right now you can still click for a ch, now 30 sec cast time that leaves a 7 min debuff on the person healed. So you can CH someone every 7 minutes with 30 sec cast time. Next nerf I think goes to a hott or some other type of heal.

30 seconds + 7.5 minute buff preventing another cast is the final form.

It was 20 second cast from Kunark -> Velious + 2 weeks, then it was nerfed to 30 second cast, no recast restriction for another 3 months, then it was finally nerfed to include the recast restriction.

Velious released here in the final form with recast restriction.

The Velious Quest/PoG BPs were supposed to start with a 6 second cast Celestial Elixir, meaning you can basically spam heal 4 people for 1200 HP a tick mana free for a couple of weeks after release. Then it gets nerfed to ~24 second cast time, still equaling 300hp/tick regen per BP, then nerfed again to 1 minute cast time. A week later it was to be Mark of Karn instead.

P99 never even implemented the Celestial Elixir version of Velious BPs.

People asking 6kpp for the shitty paladin group heal are the best, given how limited/situational the value of the spell is and how few 55+ paladins are active here. Yesterday think I saw a seller asking 3k for the group heal (still overpriced by about 30x) and a semi-rational 2k for the L60 hp buff which is actually quite useful (for L60 paladin raidbuffbots [You must be logged in to view images.

There were 220~ People between 4 guilds in ToV last week on Sunday. Of the 150 non-role/anon there was a single paladin.

The class doesn't get the love it deserves.

That being said, group heal is fantastic AE Aggro.

They're common and therefore cheap, but I dunno why anyone uses Wu sticks before the proc. And even then, they're only good for aggro.

Ciroco, I agree. I never understand why newbs use Wu's Trance Stick instead of fighting batons. More damage and only slightly slower delay. Not like you can use the proc at level 1 anyways...
