Goes to show how our community values fashion. Winter's Fury looks like a rusty short sword and the Edge of the Nightwalker has that sweet katana look going for it. I agree it doesn't make a lot of sense so fashion is the only thing I can think of impacting value.

Yeah Winters Fury is a dreadful graphic. Exquisite Velium Warsword much better looking, and better ratio hands down. 6k

The one time I managed to save up 11K plat was the most epic moment of my life!!

I humbly believe that epic weapon MQs are the most overpriced and the reason why so many end up quitting after FINALLY winning the game with the EPIC achievement of 10K+ in their player's hot hand or bank! To save up 10k, then realize you cannot EVEN buy some epic MQs or worse yet, you can! And then you know how have NOWHERE near enough epic plat savings to afford your epic weapon!

Soo epic weapons are defo the most overpriced equipment I've EVER seen for sale in EC. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images.

The only game I ever really gave a damn about it. It's also the reason i am against armor dyes. The gear tells where you have been, your status. I can recognize somethings by just looking at the graphic and its color.

The best looking gear is the hardest to get, with some exceptions. The wily robe looks x10000 better than Vulak.. which is bonkers. EotN looks better than winters fury but its not better.

I want my rogue looking sleek and deadly.
I want my bard to be uniform color, like lambent, been chasing SS legs forever.
I want my wizard looking arcane and powerful.

Dark Elf, imo, wins any FQ barely trying. My characters are natural drow or can illusion.

Haste belts in general. SCHW is 1k now. I would not pay 30x the price for the SG belt that is chain farmed now.

[enjchanter]

My two biggest are probably:

Zhearts - simply ain't that good. Useful but not 145k useful
Maple leaf mask - this item is a fucking joke in every way. It goes for 50-90k iirc and I wouldnt pay 3k for it.

I absolutely disagree. ZHeart on my enchanter has been the best item I've ever bid on. It's the only droppable item with a regen effect for casters, and it drops off a relatively difficult raid mob. If Fungi only dropped off Zlandicar, it would be worth 145k+ as well.

I'm gunna go back on my statement a bit.
Do I think it's useful on an enchanter who doesnt have a ring 10 ? Yessir
Do I think it's a supposedly BIS necro weapon ? No , I think the regen is overrated.

If I was to pick the price I think a zheart is worth, I would say 45-50k, same as fungi in essence.

I'd agree with that price if it wasn't so difficult to get. Only a few guilds on the server can realistically kill Zlandicar. It does drop every single time, which helps. I think it's definitely a great item for a Necromancer, but less of a must-buy for them than for an Enchanter imo. Necromancers at least have other ways of getting health back. For Enchanters it's ZHeart or Ring 10...and Ring 10 is pretty fucking hard to get.

Fungi is only worth as much as it is because it's farmed non stop.

If it were half as rare as zheart it'd be worth 200k. And fairly.

Fungi is probably one of the cheapest items for its effect and how useful it is. There's almost always no better buy if you have the cash for it.
