    Vanquishes are done with a full party, minus the slot for the AFK buyer (with a few possible exceptions in areas where quests can significantly reduce spawns). So this always takes time, there is no way around that. The only increase in speed comes from the use of a conset, which most people offering such services tend to go with, and decent hero setups, of course. If you're vanquishing anyway, this is an option to make some money along the way, if you're confident in your heroes. Assuming people still pay for those services, that is.

    For dungeons, every dungeon (except for the solo ones, of course) can be run by a single player with relative ease. In those cases, the runner would usually know the dungeon quite well and solo it without heroes. Some kind of Shadow Form build would be usual here. They'll be slower than the solo records to increase safety, but faster than a player with a hero team killing stuff along the way. For most dungeons, an experienced runner can do it without a conset even. This is not something that you should charge for if you intend to just do the dungeon "normally" with yourself + six heroes, leaving a slot open for another player to leech through.

    MIssions are often less "runnable", so here just dropping a hero for a leecher might work out, so long as you know the mission well. Occasionally, you might want your customer to be available to skip cutscenes or somesuch.

    For elite areas, these things tend to be group efforts, at least full clears. I doubt anyone will solo all of UW by themselves as a paid service. Four people would probably be the minimum here, and the leecher would need to put in some effort at Dhuum. FoW might be done by 2-3 people? Not so sure here. A run to just the armoursmith is probably fine solo. For Urgoz, maybe 3-4 people could run the whole thing in relative safety and without spending too much on cons, for Deep the minimum amount of players is technically 4, but I doubt anyone who would offer such a run would be going with less than 6. But to be honest, I suspect not many people would run this sort of thing as a service anyway. The golden days of people wanting the statues for their HoM are over :D

    Well, you can see that the non-mercenary version is almost identical to the old BiP Melee Support, while simply also incorporating a non-melee version. Both builds were intended to be for players without mercenaries and without Zei Ri. From what I recall, the "Offensive Mesmerway" is simply a merger of the old BiP Caster Support and BiP Melee Support builds.

    The Mercenary Mesmerway is then an improved version relying on at least one mercenary hero. Since many people do not have mercenaries (and most characters do not have Zei Ri), there is value in having both versions available. So generally, one would assume that the mercenary version is stronger (though note that there might be situations where the additional mesmer would perform worse than the minion master).

    EDIT: Well damn, I took too long to fix my typos.

    I am looking to buy (mostly) mixed attribute 20/20 Celestial Staves. To be more specific:

    • R9-R13, only attributes that can still drop (I believe there once were Restoration staves - if so, I don't want those)
    • 20% HCT inherent mod, attribute doesn't have to match the requirement.
    • Max damage, max HSR
    • While I am mostly interested in mixed attributes, if you have matching ones let me see them. Depending on cash reserves, I might like those.

    Ideally, please provide a screenshot of the item card. Alternatively, I need to know: Req, HCT attribute, gold value and damage type (for ritualist attributes). Since most of these staves have no practical value, I pay according to req:

    R9: 30e, R10: 27e, R11: 24e, R12: 21e, R13: 18e

    Of course, matching attribute ones are a different story, here we would need to find a fair price.

    I am not interested in one-offs, near max, other inherents, 20/10, other skins, etc. Only 20/20. Only Celestial Staves.

    Keep in mind that I already have a fair amount of these and don't need duplicates, but there are plenty of gaps left in my collection.

    Feel free to contact me via this thread or PM if you have something :)

    There is now only a single combination completely missing - if you find one, I will pay 250e for it.

    R Channeling / HCT Healing

    Yeah, the drops are generated at instance creation (back in the days, they also all had the same rarity iirc, so if one person got a purple from a chest, nobody else would open it). And since the game stacks the same kind of item if they're stackable, the first person who gets the Elite Tome (should also work for normal ones, actually) simply gets them both. Or all three. In effect, you're stealing someone else's loot. As far as I know, another person in the instance will receive nothing from that chest. At least, I have never seen one person get an Elite Tome and someone else get the same type of Elite Tome from the same chest.

    The odds are then simply the odds of [number of human players in the instance] rolls having two of the same type of Elite Tome. Not technically hard to calculate if you know the odds of getting an Elite Tome from a chest.

    Good news everyone!

    As promised, I am now selling most of the items from my PC thread. As usual, we begin with the ground rules. Read them carefully.

    • I will close bidding on any item 3 days after the last bid on that item. This timeframe might shorten towards the end of the auction.
    • When I close bidding, I will sell if the price looks decent.
    • I accept bids in Ectos or Arms. Arms are currently 40e, unless the market shifts massively that won't change.
    • I will only accept offers in those currencies that are made in this thread. No PM bids, no ingame sales. I sell here or not at all.
    • Tiny outbids will be ignored.
    • As usual, I reserve the right not to sell or to ignore bids.

    Now that the formalities are cleared, here we go:

    G'day.

    I was told some of these items are quite desirable, so I would like to get some price checks on them. I realize you will be tempted to say "just put them up for auction and see", but that answer is obviously not very helpful for me. So ideally, I'd like some concrete numbers to at least get an idea of what's worth selling.

    EDIT: I didn't mean to come off as rude. I understand a PC is a vague thing and depends on interest. So to make it clear, I would like to know some reasonable lower end to set starting bids. Due to experiences on the site, I will obviously not set buyout prices. Also, since people have wondered in the PMs: I will most likely put these up for auction, so this is not just "egosurfing". If I was only interested in a rough price for the sake of curiousity, I would clearly state so. Note that in the past, I also put up my PC threads as auctions shortly afterwards.

    27 is the diamond skin.

    Ok, let's get this back to the top. The first items are now closed and delivered, the first post should be up to date. In case I missed something, any item with a most recent bid from the 1st of June is now no longer available. If you want to pick up your items, I am online on the 'Lily Gladechild' account right now, otherwise I will send out PMs when the entire auction is over.

    A word on the staves: I might sell some of them for the currently offered price, but some of them are very low and I might decide to keep them, especially any Q9 ones. This is somewhat up to my mood :D

    As for the items without any offers so far, give them a look, there are some nice items that could still be had for a potentially low price.

    Let's get this some more attention. I know PCs are tough to do, but I'd like some more input, especially considering the fact that I already received PMs about some of these items.

    Even a rough idea or a good point to set a starting bid would help me out a lot. If you plan to maybe bid on something, then PC stuff you don't want to bid on :D

    Good day, lovelies!

    I may have PC'd some of these before, but I don't think I ever got very many specific answers, and some of these are definitely new. Anyway, there are a lot of items and I don't want to end up putting all of them for sale and getting 20e for the majority of them, so I'm mostly interested in which of these (if any) might fetch a decent price (maybe 100e+).

    Lots of +5 energy OS martials. I guess I never know which skins are worth something.

    Some shields. I guess they're mostly worthless, but then a Q9 -2/+45 Celestial apparently went for 20a, where the highest bids I ever got on one was maybe 200e?

    Wands. From what I can tell, anything that is not 20/20 with matching attributes is worthless?

    Staves. I would really appreciate some solid PCs here, especially since I might soon be in the market for some Celestial Staves myself. I seem to be mostly getting them for Air Magic :(

    Focuses. There is a Q8 that is one off, I guess that completely kills it? Also, are any worth keeping that are not 20/20? Also, those are actually two completely identical 10/10 Healing Ankhs, down to the gold value.

    I know the list is really lengthy (and I didn't bother numbering the stuff), so I'd appreciate even if you only took a brief look at some of the sections.
