There's no such thing as overpriced. There are asked prices, offered prices, and market history (when ask and offer meet).

If I auction a Fungi for 1 million pp in EC tomorrow, it will not make that item overpriced, it will just not net me any buyers.

The right price is when offer meets demand, and that means that this is the right price for that particular item, at that particular time (bonus points if you just said "catch 22").

only works if actors are rational, dont think thats the case here with ppl playing 20 yr old elf simulation genius

Earth Staff for mage epic. 500k+ for just one part of the mage epic. Unless your a high end guild with trackers checking 24/7 forget about it. Even then certain guilds camp out hit squads against server rules and take magi out before you can even get to him. Still need just the earth staff. 3+ years now. Guess I'm a salty Mage too.....

Definitely not overpriced. The mage epic is a class defining, game play revolutionizing item.

You could say the same about almost any other epic.

Mage, cleric, nec, ranger, monk, shaman and bard i'd say are actually valuable in consideration of BIS equipment

No. Only bard and mage can and Cleric on a bad day. These weapons become the class and all that it is, and all you did before the epic was nothing. Mages become gods, and bards actually become a different actual class entirely.

Everyone else just gets to do shit like root rot forever or win Fashionquest with their epics.

For this edition of AskEQ! (not really a thing, but humor me), i've decided to seek the communities opinion on what items, gear or weapons in Norrath YOU deem overpriced.

After spending some time recently in the EC Tunnels i've noticed that for whatever explicable reason(s), some prices (and in my most humble of opinions) just do not add up. Our market has been around for some time, has had various fluctuations, supply has changed, demand has changed, and prices have changed too. Some for better, some for worse.

What item(s) for sale have you most recently believed to be overpriced and why?

The only thing off the top of my head is the woodsman staff. I was using search here to see what a good ranger weapon would be and I found a ton of threads talking about how a woodsman staff was the best bang for the buck weapon a ranger can get at only 100-200 PP.

Then I go to EC tunnel and see they are selling for 4K PP. YIKES, those threads were a bit outdated I guess. It doesn't even have any stats and is 2H blunt so it prevents you from having stats in your secondary slot. No thanks.

Oh and the spell nature walkers behest selling for 500pp LOL. It's a worthless druid pet! For 50 pp I might buy it just for fun but 500? I don't think so! Homey don't play dat!
