So after years of running HP I have been blessed with my first perfect Magmas Shield. Feast your eyes, fresh from the lava.

My favorite drop on here in a while, congrats!

In my experience nowadays, your best bet is really just to post a sales thread and see what bids come in. It's really hard to accurately price something when it is very dependent on what buyers are interested. For what its worth, I will second Purely's comment as rough estimates

Bump, sold a few items so far, thanks for those that pm'd

Bump with new items

I know this isn't that impressive nowadays, but today I completed two things that 14 year old me never thought he would.

When I was younger, cartography just seemed too daunting, but having some extra time at home lately (and a different attitude), I trudged through and finally got Gwamm. With Ironman challenges this isn't much, but it's a big deal to me

Another challenge I had my eye on when I was younger was getting the sword in my Zrank. I knew that slow and steady was the "key" here, and over the last few weeks I liquidated the majority of my items to finally cross the hump. I don't think I will ever have enough money for R12 like many others do, but R10 is good enough for me! To get to this point I opened the chest exactly 7200 times. Rough notable drop estimates: ~5 monthly everlasting tonics, ~5-7 celestial compasses (best being r9 water and r10 prot), ~5-10 draconic aegis (best being r9 strength, most being req. 12-13), Req. 10 Obsidian Edge. Was it worth it? Absolutely!

Up with new shield

Awesome drop Slave! Such an amazing achievement.

I'm still staring at my screen in disbelief looking at what just happened. Got my first ever perfect r9 creature shield today - and what a skin!

My 2 cents, been around off and on since ‘07. Since pcons were released, they have been readily and easily available. In Kama in 2011, you wouldn’t need to spend more than about 2 minutes just watching trade chat to buy as many pcons as you wanted. Maybe ANET did not intend for pcons to be accessible anywhere anytime, but that has been the reality for pretty much the entirety of their existence. If they wanted to change that because they were intended to be “special” as someone said, they would have done that a long time ago. It makes no sense for them to make that stand now.

Everyone plays this game differently, I have one char where I intentionally only buy things with money that I get from drops to try and simulate an OS experience without the benefit of money I’ve made over like 12 years. On my main char with my most max titles, yeah I used cons on HM missions and vanquishes. On the other character I mentioned, when I start doing vanquishes again I honestly might use pcons again. Someone made a really good point that a lot of us just don’t have the time that we once did, and pcons can help with that. Pcons are not solely a SC item.

I guess the main things I want to emphasize:

There is no right or wrong way to play, SC or regular, pcon or no pcon. These are all elements in the game.

If ANET did not want pcons to be used year round, they would have done something when the game was popular and they were actively managing it.

I understand the banning of bots, gold sellers have no place here and I am glad ANET did this. At the same time, we are not being honest with ourselves if we cannot acknowledge that bots filled a void once filled with thousands of real people in Kamadan.

I think the best solution is a merchant/trader/collector. I am not active enough to speak to pricing, but I think slightly above current market rates would make sense as they will be much more easily accessible.

This is a small community, at the end of the day we all just want to play and enjoy the game, let’s not forget that.
