Rarest/most expensive items in the game right now?

  • Maybe just bring back 1 of each of the banned ones to get them back into the game atleast, but yeah not sure how people would claim them if they'res no event anymore

    quest like for miniatures. You can transform client side with toolbox into any model anyways..

    But then all the people, who didn't own any anyways, are going to complain. They are a minority, so can be ignored though.

  • Got it! Smart investor! So back to the original question: most expensive item IN GAME live today would be dictated by availability, correct? So if there is an unded polar bear available that might be it, but if an unded kanaxai became available from a returning player, that would for sure be the staple, right?

  • I think even polar bear wouldn't be rare in any case since you can still get them anything that you can't get anymore would always be a sight over things you can still get, even if polar bear is really hard to get through rng still obtainable and it seems still valued alot less than current drops for items as well most of the time

  • but if an unded kanaxai became available from a returning player, that would for sure be the staple, right?

    Minis and tonics (of any kind) have never been and will never be the most valuable or rarest items. Full stop.

    Yeah, but most demanding i would say just not as rare / valuable imo the market is a whole lot bigger for minis, but then again some items come really close as well unded panda went for like 10ka+ in Peqs auction and super rare pre nerf R7s going for alot less still

  • The supply/demand dictates pricing in this game doesn’t it? So technically couldn’t the demand for a mini be way higher than the rarest wep? Personally I haven’t seen an extremely rare OS wep be sold for more than one of the rarest minis, but open to hear of stories of it happening!

  • I think the issue is that you're focusing on things with prices when there are items that are literally priceless.

    You're talking about sales when there are items that people just won't sell.

    There are items that have, for good reason, only been available in sale or trade once or twice (or a small handful of times) in the entire history of the game. Those are the rarest, most difficult-to-acquire items in the game. The answer you're looking for is there.

    Yeah i saw your collection on the GW collectors really nice items, wish i had stuck to trading more in the past only traded for about 8 months total have like nothing compared to you :thumbup:

    Also GW 1, Swg, WoW are the only games that have really created legacy non obtainable items from the past that i've played

  • Fay I appreciate the kind words but it's not about me. If I remember correctly from way back in the day, you have some top-notch stuff.

    The items I'm talking about are scattered across the collector community. People have their favorites. I think it would be difficult to get consensus, although I personally think that the answer is pretty obvious (I guess that's what it means to have a favorite!). My point is that we can't really answer this question by talking about markets because there's a whole class of items for which there is no market.

    I understand that, for some people, this means that those items aren't worth considering (or remembering, thinking about, or even having knowledge of...take a spin around Reddit 😆) but, to my mind, if there's an answer to this question, it's in that class of items.

  • Yeah true its whatever you like most is what counts in the end really what i loved mostly was hammers and minis so when i came back i basically sold off nearly all my other pre nerfs to be able to get the minis i never would have gotten back then instead, and 100% for sure will never finish the hammer collection now a days just to rare for most of them even the easier ones from before seem quite rare as well so i'm going to try and complete the unded mini collection minus the kanaxai sadly lol

    I love this answer and thanks for it! What would you say are the top five items or things that land in the priceless category?

  • Well, from my perspective, I can give you 3 for sure. For most of my guild wars life, I was told (in different ways and for different reasons) all about 3 items that represented the absolute best of the best:

    1. Req 8 15% unconditional double-bladed axe
    2. Req 8 14% unconditional serpent axe
    3. Req 8 30/-2s magmas

    These were 3 mythical, legendary items that were always pointed to as evidence of how far noob collectors like me had to go before we could hope to match the glory of the all-time greats. I think ppl can argue about the others but I think any list without these 3 on it isn't a serious list.

  • since this item doesn't seem to get mentioned nearly often enough among the three Kromp listed, here is the greatest hammer (and perhaps unconditional?) in existence. I'm partial to hammers though.

  • Sasha 100% agree about the hammer. I only left it off because 1) I thought I should leave room for non-unconditionals. Otherwise, the whole thread just arrives at the answer that's been obvious all along: unconditional weapons are, as a group, the rarest and most difficult to obtain items in the game and 2) not everyone feels like you do about hammers (although I do know one guy).
