I'm gunna go back on my statement a bit.
Do I think it's useful on an enchanter who doesnt have a ring 10 ? Yessir
Do I think it's a supposedly BIS necro weapon ? No , I think the regen is overrated.

If I was to pick the price I think a zheart is worth, I would say 45-50k, same as fungi in essence.

Fungi is only worth as much as it is because it's farmed non stop.

If it were half as rare as zheart it'd be worth 200k. And fairly.

Fungi is probably one of the cheapest items for its effect and how useful it is. There's almost always no better buy if you have the cash for it.

Earth Staff for mage epic. 500k+ for just one part of the mage epic. Unless your a high end guild with trackers checking 24/7 forget about it. Even then certain guilds camp out hit squads against server rules and take magi out before you can even get to him. Still need just the earth staff. 3+ years now. Guess I'm a salty Mage too.....

For this edition of AskEQ! (not really a thing, but humor me), i've decided to seek the communities opinion on what items, gear or weapons in Norrath YOU deem overpriced.

After spending some time recently in the EC Tunnels i've noticed that for whatever explicable reason(s), some prices (and in my most humble of opinions) just do not add up. Our market has been around for some time, has had various fluctuations, supply has changed, demand has changed, and prices have changed too. Some for better, some for worse.

What item(s) for sale have you most recently believed to be overpriced and why?

The only thing off the top of my head is the woodsman staff. I was using search here to see what a good ranger weapon would be and I found a ton of threads talking about how a woodsman staff was the best bang for the buck weapon a ranger can get at only 100-200 PP.

Then I go to EC tunnel and see they are selling for 4K PP. YIKES, those threads were a bit outdated I guess. It doesn't even have any stats and is 2H blunt so it prevents you from having stats in your secondary slot. No thanks.

Oh and the spell nature walkers behest selling for 500pp LOL. It's a worthless druid pet! For 50 pp I might buy it just for fun but 500? I don't think so! Homey don't play dat!

This spell is far from useless. While the pet is a super low level and not good for combat, you can easily use it to pet track raid targets, which is what I use it for mostly now. However, when I was quadding I would frequently cast my pet, park it in a safe area, and use it as a mana battery by having a mage focus item with the ability to instant click "Reclaim Energy."

Both of those things are super useful and not overpriced at all. Hard to imagine someone fucking up this thread but here we are.

I still wouldn't buy it even for pet tracking. Just get a ranger to track raid mobs and call him a pet. Won't cost 500 PP lol

FD + Instant Invis doesn't work like it used to, in the past it was basically an agro wipe and it isn't anymore. The value of instant invis is trivial at best. Its literally the difference between Travelers Boots and Journeymans Boots....However 90% of the server probably doesn't even know what travelers boots are and J boots still sell for 7k.

Add to it that both SK and Necro can CAST invis and have options of other invis clickies (blood ember bracer for example)... Its amusing to see the value rising.

The only reason this is flying at all is because necros literally dont need gear so have almost nothing to spend money on.

I wouldn't consider either super useful. Woodsman staff has great damage/delay which is why I was excited when I thought I could get it for 200PP. But at 4K it's over priced. Why do I think that?

Natures wrath is 100 PP.

29/44 +4 wis +20 mana with effect: natures wrath.

Not as good as 31/35 but its not bad at all and the stats are nice to have along with the effect you can start using at lvl 46. Now factor in the price difference and there you go.

So don't get so touchy because my option doesn't exactly match yours. It's ok to disagree.

Maybe compare it to something that isn't complete garbage.
