Pigparse seems to have more recent data than the wiki for most auctions; https://pigparse.azurewebsites.net/ItemDetails/15937. That shows recently more WTB than WTS, including a recent WTB @ 10k and 15k. Looking at green, people are asking 15-20k. Seems like a legit price to me, but I'm not a big trader.

Tunnel quest discord is another good place to check for info, and you can subscribe to a discord notification when there's a WTS. https://discord.gg/mU85VVMB

Thanks much for the information and the resource

So I've been looking at buying an earthshaker. p99 Wiki is usually pretty accurate.

Now, it has been 8 months since the last update but I'm seeing them consistently around 3k but I just had an EC folk on blue try to sell it for 15k.

Is the wiki that off for the modern era?
Is he smoking crack?
Am I smoking crack?

3k for Earthshaker (at least on blue) was the standard from what I remember. Think I sold mine for around that amount a year ago.

They are fairly rare in terms of actually being sold in EC, so this may just be an attempt to hike prices. If there are only a few records of 10k+ sales, me thinks it's a scam.

For some reason my memory is telling me that people do Master Yael less often for some reason, like a patch update that made him harder or something. If that is the case, perhaps that is the cause for the price increases. Less drops due to less kills. But I would take this with a grain of salt, I don't have anything to back this up.

Its been going up 15k+ because of both bowquest being popular and the need for it for proc FTEing. earthshaker gives you better chance at 350 insta fte.

i mean we can facepalm all we want, but slower weapon you are holder the better chance at procs and it works for your bows. sky bow +earthshaker is good chance you will insta fte at 350.

I wonder what the proc chance is with something like Weighted Axe

Good except ranger can't equip, ranger sky now is 200+ proc chance. Other classes can get 200 as well not sure about with proc tho. Aow for instance is only 180. Also no bind sight.

[Keebz]

Yea, no bind sight hurts, but not strictly necessary to race. I raced on my monk all the time.

As for proc rates, I just did some very half-assed testing and I was procing 30-40% of the time with Weighted Axe, 0% haste (unequiped my items) and 255 dex. To napkin math it, I'm guessing there's a linear relationship with delay and 10 delay is something like 60 swings a minute. So Weighted Axe clocks in at an expected 3 swing a minute, therefore 33% chance of proc per arrow. Earthshaker at 70 delay would be a around a 14% chance. Assuming the above holds, trading some range for a > 2x chance of instant proc seems reasonable.

Sorry to derail the thread, but another thought... Sky Darkener + Weighted Axe could enable SK quadding at 35. Should be over 4 procs a minute and the arrows themselves doing decent damage due to the damage bonus.

Of course, my assumptions might not hold, but it's fun to theory quest.

Not sure about blue but Yael is very popular on green for the ore. He's at least usually killed within an hour or 2 of spawn.
We do him a lot but the shaker is very rare.
Maybe the shoulders aren't as popular on blue?

the issue more is do the non rangers have a 200 proccing bow, i dont remember. so weighted axe wouldnt help in this case
