I have no problem paying 5k for a hammer. compared to other items on the server that's cheap as hell IMO. Well worth it. Can make up that money and some farming in the time it takes to do braids.

it's just the price mofo. For anyone considering getting an OT hammer, 5k should not be that big of a deal. people who have the puppet strings have found a demand in the market from people not wanting to farm sarnak00 for 2 days just so they can turn in the hammer.

5k - recharge cost (lets call it 800pp)
4.2k - time spent in EC (anywhere from 1-4 hours)
Time spent waiting on the nub to get to OT ~30 mins+

For all the hassle of going through this process, I'd say a person selling an OT hammer will only make about 1-2k an hour. It's not that much, esp. not for someone rich enough to have the puppet strings.

I would just be glad that so many people have been offering the service recently, so that you don't have to bust your ass on sarnak anal beads.

Oops, posted early. Maybe you'd get an item back. But still, maybe you wouldn't. Quite a risk. And then there is potentially the risk of recharging. Server goes down while your strings are on a merchant? Sad times [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is your answer. When the question is, "why does a hammer cost 5k?" the answer "B-b-b-b-b-b-because I'm t-t-t-oo b-b-busy looking for an excuse to charge you 5k."


Piss on that. Plenty of people own strings and give away Hammers for free. The only people charging money for it to random people **are the people who are scummy and greedy enough to 'risk' their puppet strings when they know full well that they would be reimbursed.**
