Great value items vs Overvalued items

I will say though, that sow pots like most other pots are not worth their price at low levels. As anyone who has tossed some sow pots on a lvl 1 twink has found out, at level 1 it lasts about... 60 seconds? Maybe 90?

Huh? It does? SoW lasts 20+ minutes on a low level char I believe. Is the SoW from a SoW pot some other type of SoW (i.e. similar to how JBoots speed is different from SoW)?

I was under the impression that effect from potions were "cast" as if the potion maker did it (i.e. their level). So, if you buy a SoW pot from a level 50 Shaman, then it would be like a level 50 Shaman cast SoW on you when you used it, regardless of your own level. Is that not correct?

Pretty sure potions use the user's level, not the maker's.

Right, but my point is that if you're a lowbie SoW still lasts like 20+ minutes doesn't it? Isn't it like level 29 or 30 where it becomes 36 minutes from there? So if you're a lowbie SoW isn't lasting 1 minute.

This has always been a confusing situation for me-
https://wiki.project1999.com/Zealot%...arnadine_Sword
https://wiki.project1999.com/Soul_Binder

Similar stats.. 250 plat difference. (Cheap difference)

Soul Binder procs 4 levels earlier, and is a 1 of a kind look. Ridiculously rare to see, or find, so why is it just a few plats more? Shouldn't supply and demand have this thing at like 2k or somethin? At least for FQ and rareness alone?

This is less of a buy this instead of that post, but more of a "Why is this highly sought after item that is so rare, but so cheap? Also, somebody sell me a soul binder!!!!!!

Correct.

The wiki doesn't address this because normally the first level for SoW is level 9. Technically, via the potion, that's not true.

So should it say 1 min @L1 to 36 minutes at L12? Does it get any longer or is 12 the cap on duration? The speed is also level based - does that also scale down?

I could have sworn that in classic the SoW potion duration ad speed was based on the shaman's level who made.

It doesn't seem like an intuitive thing for them to keep a database on, but as far as custom content goes it would be fun if that were the case.

Default to level 50 shaman duration / quality when leveling shamans are within X points of their cap and therefore leveling as they go rather than power leveling the skill up at later levels. Would give preference to leveling shamans SoW Pots and incentivize plat spending on potions to earn more plat as you level rather than just saving for torpor.
