Stop paying so much for the halfling mask

[Ciderpress]

Sorry I'm bored and this is a pet peeve. The halfling mask from chardok is not worth 35k, it's worth like maybe 10.

Let's consider:

1) It's one of the easiest camps in chardok
2) It's not *that* rare
3) You shouldn't have to offer it up in /gu for "only" 25k if it's not in demand enough to even have a buyer, or multiple buyers, ready to loot it

What other things are wildly inflated in value for no logical reason?

[Goregasmic]

Obligatory "it is worth what people are willing to pay for it".

I know someone who farmed it during double loot and it took him 20 hours. It isn't all that common, probably between 1-5% drop rate.

Not as expensive but when I see wurmslayers going for 2.5k it boggles my mind. Such a trash weapon with much better and cheaper options.

IFS for 6k when you can get a peacebringer for 1k is also odd to me.

Blanking out on the others right now.

Price is what you pay value is what you get. I personally don't see value in the item at all so I wouldn't even buy it at $10k. With that said I understand it does have a very specific use case that makes it very valuable to certain high end raiders which I will not spell out here for those not in the know.

What's the really expensive legacy monk staff, the RFS or whatever. From a price to value standpoint 0 use case for it as an item. But people pay big for legacy stuff regardless of utility.

Speaking of legecy item rip offs. Majority of people will never click beads or circlet of shadows enough to justify the price tag vs. just using consumables to achieve the same outcomes.

I fully agree that things are worth what people are willing to pay, and I'm exerting whatever influence I have to make them less willing. It doesn't even have stats like the barb mask, it literally just makes you a halfling.

This is a two way street btw, there are some things I think people sell far too cheap. I see people offering guardian robe LRs for 85k. Are you mad? For one thing, I can't fathom the logistics of selling such a rare item on a 7 minute corpse, and it's like seemingly the most rare thing in the game. How is a custom cowl worth 200k+ and a guardian robe only 85? Total madness.

Staff is probably fun but yeah, hard to weave and you lose out on ripostes/DS.

For beads I had the same train of thought. At 1mil you'd have to cast it like over 300k times to get your money's worth vs probes but it is a lot more convenient. No recharge and little bag space.

Manisi plant is kinda nice too but at 100k for that awful camp you gotta make sure you will solo a metric ass ton to make it worth it.

Yeah beads still blow my mind. I understand they are valuable, but maybe 500k would be more sane? They essentially just free up monk bag space.

When I camped it, it took me about 225 overseers (counting both ph and named). By the end ~30k was starting to sound like it would have been a deal.

Common halfling double you.

Sorry you don't got.

But for real, you must have never had beads on a monk. They are the #1 gamebreaking item. Over my monk's lifetime I must have clicked the beads thousands of times. Shit, in one ToV raid I might click beads close to 100 times.

Need to hammer? Proc avatar? Pull Aary guards? Good luck when you run out of charges on stalking probes.

I have multiple characters capable of that very easy camp.
I bought loot rights, why would someone camp something that rare for so cheap.

Other than its raid use,its a nice flex item. Pure vanity for a rogue
My lady rogue in kael armor looks like she's wearing a purple knitted sweater in halfling
