AskEQ! What item(s), gear, or weapon(s) do you feel are overpriced in today's market?

[Tethler]

Any item I want but can't afford is overpriced, obviously.

Considering Fungi king is never not camped, I can't figure out how the price has been frozen for years. It's been solo'd by nearly every class, and duo'd by almost anyone and isn't exactly rare.

4,446 total tunics as of 01/04/2019. Lot's of demand for the 4,446 that exist.

Neat, where do you get that data from?

From the Pantheon p1999 discord. IDK how many active accounts there are, but Fungi is probably one of the most sought after items for any new toon. I personally would never sell the three I have.

Neat. I've been wondering how many Vulak robes are on the server these days.

I vote for all the droppables on my chars in my signature, as well as my 41 Enchanter with Puppet Strings, Mana Robe, BCG, Zlandicar's Heart, Elder Beads, White Dragonscale Boots, as well as my 52 Druid naggy bot with Fungi Tunic and Manastone that aren't on my signature. Also WTB Robe of the Spring, PM me plskthx.

speaking of overpriced items... I hear Bioluminescent orb is going for upwards of 250k+. That's the one item I never understood the value hike on. I got one for less than 40k a couple years ago to play around with on my monk. No idea why they are worth so much now.

The bio orb is fantastic for warriors; you cast it on incoming and as long as your monk team isn't full of morons you get a free instant proc. All of that 'WAIT FOR ASSIST' nonsense goes out the window. Procs and clicks really should be capped at 400 hate here (early Velious patch) which would be a huge balance change for Knights who have seen their role totally usurped by blinding Warriors.

It's also amazing for Monks because it is our equivalent of 'dark and park': just fire the orb and a reasonable time one of the mobs will randomly run towards you. It's better on TAKP where spells land more easily and NPCs don't attack pets or eyes, but it's still pretty situationally good here.

Zheart is hugely overrated IMO. Both the epic and soul well staff will save you far more mana. It's more of a convenience item that lets you go AFK with Lich on without dying for 20 minutes (assuming you rolled Iksar).

Agree with Eberron that the maple leaf mask is the worst. I just bought greater regeneration potions. 50K for a maple leaf mask is 500 charges. Usually I can get away with Bedlam and the potions work indoors. A Ring 10 would be ideal of course.

Oh, I get the utility, which is why I bought one a long time ago for a char I rarely ever play. I just don't get the sudden huge jump in price. Must just be more people realizing how kick ass of an item is for splitting and aggro.

I have epic, VP staff, and Z's heart on my Iksar necro. Epic is basically just a status symbol. Soulwell staff I swap in rarely when I need a free lifetap. Z's heart stays equipped 99.9% of the time to help (slightly) negate HP loss from lich.

I agree. Totally don't see why anyone would want this. I could have bought one for 35k for my baby enchanter that has everything else and saw no reason to.
