I used to farm and sell these all the time for 5k and whenever I sold one I was like

expensive items are expensive because they are usually relatively hard to obtain and are the best of their kind

of course, that said which items woud you suggest that are more expensive than their value?

Those would be overvalued items for a new green player to avoid at first.

That's what the thread is asking.

They are a steal at 2k for this time period and will hold value for the entire servers existence.

overvalued:

Golden Efreeti Boots (5-6k for 9int/wis -seems quite overvalued)

Gonna buy these when kunark drops and it goes down to 1k

Why would the price go down when people are spending less time farming them and it will be months before small groups of more powerful higher level players can take on the content?

I can't really think of an EC equivalent other than the Velious boots so if anything I'd expect the price to rise on GEBs and even wolf fur slippers and other iksar wearable necro twink gear.

Agreed gebs will retain their platinum value well into kunark - a great item to sell - and only begin to decline in plat value in velious.

The point of this particular thread though is that for a new player something like Kobold Hide Boots are a far superior value for like merely 50p as opposed to 5k purchase.

10hp > 9 int until level 20s or 30s maybe

So a baller will indeed twink a level 1 ikk necro with gebs. But most won't because that 5k is better spent elsewhere.

gebs camp is soloable by a FEW classes right now, but duoable by a ton, and trioable by almost anyone - but come 60 its a solo camp for damn near anyone but a tank/melee, i was amazed they still sell for 1k on blue
