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 MIGHT pay 3k for it, decent stamina and wis, some resists. I'd pay 3k. Definitely not 50-90k never in a million years

i would pay like 5k maaybe? 10k maybe? i dunno.

I thought BCG would drop significantly in price with all the other belt options in velious but it's still getting a decent asking price.

I think some of the SS MQs' sell for wayyyyyyyyy more than they're worth. You can get a Thurg version for like 500 plat to 10k max that a ton of classes/people can solo/duo or you can spend 20 times that for like +2stam, +4 hp and +2 MR on the skyshrine versions. these are also items/pieces that are farmed multiple days a week and pretty much any guild has the capacity to farm.

edit - i have a lot of alts and always end up cheaping out on upgrades to fund my next char rather than really pushing for BIS or droppable expensive items that may not have a true impact??

BCG is best in slot droppable belt for casters in most cases. It's also off a raid level mob. Well worth the price if you can afford it.

SS MQs are also near the best buyable in slot item (or BIS in some cases). When you realize they will always be (near) BIS and a lot of high-end players have been playing for a while, the extra 10-20k isn't all that much. Some POM armor is better, but also way more costly and annoying to attain.

Speaking as a druid, I have no idea how Maple Leaf Mask and Woven Cord of Mistletoe sell for as much as they do.

Gonna have to disagree on Zheart here

It's probably underpriced for what it can do for you

Very few items are as impactful as Zheart

As someone who plays 2 high level casters and used zhearts on them, I'm going to agree to disagree. Enchanters will benefit from having one sure, but I wouldnt pay 145k for it. My necro will use epic main hand everyday all day, instead of a zheart even without being iksar. The regen is just too insignificant on a class that has lifetaps

Will admit bias because my enchanter has a ring10 and doesnt need a zheart anymore

I almost always use my necro to raid... Z's heart + iksar regen + regrowth = I can lich non-stop without losing HP and never having to swap weapons to my VP staff to lifetap a summoned eye. Nearly every raid mob is immune to lifetap (NOT CLASSIC!) anyways so it's a pretty moot point.

Over a 10 minute fight having 5hp/tick extra regen is the same as having an additional 500hp to lich, and no one would consider an extra 500hp buff that stacks with all other buffs and doesn't take up a buff slot to be insignificant.

All casters have a serious lack of hp regen items since they can't wear fungis or iksar regen bps.

For a soloing enchanter a Zlandicar's Heart is great and means a lot less downtime waiting for HP to regen.

145k is not really a lot compared to other items (I'm looking at you AOW monk pants, White Dragonscale Boots, Boots of the Storm, Helm of Rallos Zek, etc).
