Just because someone asks 50k doesn't mean there's a fool stupid enough to actually put that much in the trade window.

They sure do. Just sold one for 50k not a week ago.

The patch is coming any day! Better pay me 50k before it skyrockets......they've been saying for 3+ months. Can't imagine how many of these have been bought to resell after the patch hits. That said, the price will probably keep rising because people are stupid and EC prices are based more on what the last one was auctioned for than actual demand.

With enough time and determination, a tunnel rat can raise the price of pretty much anything of value. They've already started moving up from 50k, seen someone asking 65k the other day.

because it's not just a good weapon .... its the BEST weapon that is tradable. Next patch it will kill epic/SoS by a large margin

48-50k has become the norm for it, but the amount of people selling for 70k+ trying to manipulate the market even further is astounding. P99 is the only emu server with so many people trying to demolish the economy that prices double instead of half.

Tstaff will get a boost, not as large as slower weapons, but it's already one of the best ratios most people can obtain and will likely stay that way.

70k+ for best droppable weapon of the most twinked class in the game really isn't bad at all actually. Tons of twink stuff are way more expensive and has less value (I.E: armor items with an added 25 HP to it's nearest competition).

28 delay should be the sweet number for 2h dmg bonus

Anything faster should get a much smaller bonus

Summary of Melee Changes:
•Two-Handed Weapons have been given an increased damage bonus for characters over level 50. Also, certain post-epic quality two-handers have been improved.
•Warriors have had their taunt skill cap increased to 230 at 60th level. Also, the Blades of Strategy and Tactics can now be used in either hand.
•Rogues, as the primary user of piercing weapons, will benefit from an improvement in the quality of a few existing high-end daggers. At some future date new piercing weapons will be added to the game to fill gaps in equipment availability.
•Monks will now be on an improved combat table at levels 55 and again to a better table at 60. Monks now have the ability to Triple Attack at 60th level. The minimum damage done by Flying Kick will be greatly increased for monks starting at 51st level and scaling up to level 60. We also intend to add more monk weapons in the future to fill equipment gaps.
•Rangers have their Double Attack skill cap raised to 245. They have also gained an innate offensive bonus that starts at level 55 and increases until level 60. Ranger's Defense skill cap has been raised to 220, and their Riposte skill cap has been raised to 185.
•Paladins and Shadowknights, besides the benefits they gain from the two-handed weapons change mentioned above, have also been moved to the same combat tables as warriors. In the future we intend to examine the existing one-handed weapons useable by knights for possible upgrades. We are also increasing the Taunt skill cap for these two classes to 220.
•Bards have had their 1h blunt and 1h slash skill caps increased to 250. Their piercing skill cap has been increased to 240. Their Offense skill cap has been raised to 252. Bards are also being moved to the same combat table with all the other melee and hybrid classes (save monks who have separate tables after level 55). Bards Parry skill cap has been raised to 185 as well. Finally, the Singing Shortsword can now be equipped in the off hand and still give full song enhancing benefits.

There are the official "Melee Change" patch notes..I was trying to wayback the actual dev forum post with the "details" but there is a gap from 6/1/2001 to late august on the wayback [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes, it pretty much does.

What will the new dmg bonus at 60 be for the 30 delay TStaff? I used to have a link to the Lucy tables that broke it down by level and delay.

Dont worry man, it will follow the price pattern of Tolan's bracer, ie first hit a 60k high (probably very soon) then go down to to 50k, eventually 45k, then 40k, eventually 35k with a chance to low ball at 30k. It takes time however. At summer 2019 price back to 30k.

Tolan's bracer were at 5-6k for long time (similar to Tstaff 28k-30k). You could even get it for 2.5-3k (similar to 24-25k Tstaff) at one point. Velious was released and Tolan's bracer hit 10k value. Then dropped to 8k. Now after like 2 years Tolan's bracer is down to 5-6k again.

Main point: regardless reasons Tstaff headed towards 30k so dont be sad if you are a monk in need of tstaff. If you need Tstaff short time buy it at 50k but make sure you sell it within half year around 50k or more if lucky.
