people who farm manastone

[Castle2.0]

You have posted in every thread that they are worth 200k because you were selling for 200k.

Now you are selling for 150k and even posting on another guys thread saying that you might even buy one (he was selling @ 150k). Do i need to include all your drivel about mith 2hander when you were trying to sell that? You seem to magically pop up in any thread about an item that you are selling in some weak attempt to manipulate prices.

Sorry, the Mithril 2Hander sold. Better luck next time.

I feel like these people are some of the biggest scumbags on the planet. Serious like if I could teleport to right behind you while you where poopsocking just sitting there feeling like your getting something accomplished in life, I would just start swinging on you as hard as I could trying to knock you out.

The fact that you care that much just shows your emotional instability and that is much sadder than people farming a manastone

*some people saying some negative stuff*

Some people who don't own a manastone gonna hate on some people who do. Such is P99 life.

150k is actually a good deal on manastones right now. If i had the plat I snatch it up.

Exactly. Buy a manastone for 150k now, sell for 500k later.

1 thing I wonder with Manastone. So there isn’t anything fun about waiting on a list for 80-100hrs. Now EQ ordinarily just takes a ton of time to do anything, but usually leveling you’re “presumably” having fun, or hopefully, since that’s one of the main time expenditures in the game. Now since hitting an afk every 5-15 mins doesn’t actually have any fun associated with it, you have to hope that either what item you acquire or what you you sell that item for makes up for the time investment.

So let’s say you spent 80hrs at the list. If you sell a Manastone for 150k, each hour is worth roughly 1900 platinum. More time you spend, the less your time is worth (unless you sell for more). Then you have to ask yourself, is an hour of your real life worth 1900 platinum. That’s a very tough putt. Let’s say you make minimum wage - $15/hr. Would you spend $15 on 1900 platinum? Probably not. Now since most folks here are likely in their 30’s+, presumably you’re making more than minimum wage. So I’m just spitballing, but I’ll try a mean income of $50,000 a year after taxes (maybe a low estimate, but for arguments sake). Around $25/hr. So now, would you spend $25 on 1900 plat. On the green trade forum, I’ve seen someone selling a Manastone for 100k. Now that’s 1250 plat. And if you spent 100hrs camping it, that’s 1000 plat.

What’s the point of all this math? Well, I’m curious at what number you think you’re getting a viable return on your time investment. If camping a manastone was fun, then it’s an entirely different story since it’s hard to accurately gauge the price of your enjoyment. But most everyone I know that’s listed has said it’s a fairly miserable experience. With that said, so you think it’s a wise investment of time to camp a Manastone? Just out of sheer curiosity.

TLDR: is camping a manastone a wise time investment/money ratio?

I never said Manastones are selling for 200k. I said they are easily worth 200k and are being auctioned at 200k. Cmon now. Don't got twisting words so you can RnF on em.

I'm going to start a thread on the topic of hours to attain vs value. SBF, makes a good point.

Anyone who has 200k on a one month old server will probably camp his own manastone
