vivaespana your screenshot has been shown to be a photoshop under close examination. Therefore this has been deemed as a scam, and the thread is now closed.
From now on, no one may sell a gold Tyrian Serpent axe on this forum without first showing it to a trusted collector who can verify its authenticity. The opportunity for scamming is too great with this skin.
No objection or complaint will be entertained. This decision is final.
It’s not merch, but the question is whether the demand for off-max end chest weapons exists.
One collector looking for them does not constitute demand. Nether does two. Three might.....
It’s debatable if it is worth the same as a max one - it’s rarer by a considerable magnitude, but that doesn’t equate to valuable. It’ll be determined by the demand.
I have never seen an off-max end chest item. And I have seen a lot of items. But I’m not interested in off-max Inscribables, so I haven’t been paying attention to them.
Thats a great idea max,no sarcasm I swear.
Do you mean fav weapon set as in total or per class?
Maybe that would be a nice thing to add aswell,fav weap set per class?!!
Ok, why not.
I meant the one favourite set of all, but that can be extended and interpreted however people want 🤗
I’ll edit to clarify👍🏻
We all have a favourite weaponset.
Some of us have a few favourite weaponsets.
For some of us choosing a particular weaponset is really really hard.
But I would like to see the one set you value above the others, even if it’s by only a single percentage. Customised or not, worth 68 gold or 6800 armbraces, it doesn’t matter. Post a screenshot of your one favourite weaponset in this thread please, and maybe explain why you value it above all the others.
It can be a double-hander, weapon and offhand, shield etc too. More than one if you must 😉
Exchange your vouchers for 7th birthday gifts - there is a chance of a rare mini pet which can be valuable.
1. We are not the Guildwars police.
2. We cannot take action here for something that happens in game.
3. This is why we can’t run a blacklist for scammers. This thread has shown why it can’t work.
Sorry Moon, but no good will come of allowing it to stay open.
Enough.
This thread is about whether we need a blacklist for scammers, not a free-for-all to throw mud at each other.
The next one to continue this mud-slinging gets a week off for flaming.
You have all been warned.
I really shouldn’t have to say it, but flaming is not allowed. vivaespana , consider this a warning. I deleted your post. Keep it civil folks or you’ll get a ban.
Turns out it wasn’t closed. But it is now.
***mod edit--really I did close it...but thanks for making sure it really stayed closed...--cosy--mod edit***
Oh for goodness sake.
1. “Mists of time” is obviously a figure of speech. Designed to add a notion of pomp and occasion to my acquisition. They could log back on again. I have no idea. They said they weren’t going to (they’re RL friends, and have been since before Gw was released) and I have no reason to assume otherwise. Maybe they’ll get the bug back and make a comeback. Who knows?
2. Ya sure. I’m going to blow a month’s disposable wages on pixels. You know how crazy that is?
This is the result of old friendships. Nothing more. And to be honest, I’m flattered you’re thinking the worst, because that means you haven’t grasped the notion that if you part with old friends on good terms, it possible for them to return on good terms. It all smells of jealousy. Maybe if you stopped burning your bridges there would be some bridges left for old friends to cross.
I mean, really.
q8 isn't market manipulation my dude. People who "collect" and love playing guild wars value q8's because they don't drop. Just play for a bit, and see how easy those q9's drop.
Hate to be that guy, but some r8s still drop.
When a trade is more than 1750a, we use a trusted trade mod who acts as a middleman.
Also someone just traded for that q8 crystalline, might be a noob questions, but how does one trade for something more than 1750 arms/what do you use after that?
less than 1750 arms 😉
I am now the proud owner of the r8 15/stance Crystalline Sword. I was given a chance to preserve it within the guild whose very existence is dedicated to locating and preserving the very finest items. And it fits perfectly.
I had to beg, borrow and borrow some more for this, but since two old friends from my speedclearing days returned to the game about six weeks ago, there has been a series of events which unfurled in front of me which I could hardly believe. They donated their entire combined wealth to me because they weren't interested in playing any more but were curious who was actually still playing. I was the only one left on their friends list who still logged in, and so we began reminiscing about the old days. When I said I was retired from trading but had my eye on this, they gave me everything they had left, and disappeared into the mists of time once more. I was still quite a long way short of the asking price.
I now owe quite a lot to some other friends who agreed that this sword should be with its brothers and I have called in every favour I was owed, but I managed to borrow the rest and was able to make an offer which was accepted.
So, I am absolutely blown away by the generosity of my two old friends who gave me 75% of the price of this sword , and humbled by the others who have lent me the rest. When I realised there was a chance I could do this, I didn't hesitate. In accordance with their wishes, my donors have remained anonymous, but they know who they are and if they're reading this, I can't begin to express how grateful I am.
14^50 and 14^ench arent max mods and therefore the items are merch
if they would have been max some collectors or other players who like the skin possibly would have paid a few ectos but not much (5-10e)
celestial weapons q9-q13 are easy to farm for and there are a lot on the market
That’s a bit of an over simplification. Non max mods doesn’t always mean merch. Broadly speaking you’re right, but there are quite a few exceptions to that, notably pre-nerf and r8.
And there are collectors for non max items now too, so it’s always better to ask of you’re not sure.
i also have 1 lying around somewhere, probably not as rare as you make it out to be.
It’s probably worth qualifying that. It is one of the rarer r8 Inscribable skins out there. I’d say there are a hundred or so. I myself have owned six or seven over the years as they passed through my account. Not in the same league as gold r8 Darkwings or Enamelled, but certainly many times rarer than a Woden buckler or a tall shield in r8 Inscribable, of which there are likely tens of thousands.
And it’s certainly not in the same field as the truly rare OS stuff. Nevertheless, it is one of the rarer gold r8 Inscribable skins, just as Pyro says.
Right. First of all, welcome back.
That dead bow is virtually priceless. It’s one of the rarest and most sought after of all the bow skins in r8. I think only two others are known to exist?
Same goes for the r7 longsword. Only three others are known to exist.
Do NOT sell these to private offers. I bet you’ve already had a few messages trying to snipe them cheap. And do NOT sell them in game. You’ll end up ripping yourself off spectacularly.
These are all really nice items and will all go for a pile of armbraces. But the dead bow and the longsword can go 300-500 armbraces range just for their rarity and desireability.
Disagree. There are collectors for singlemod shields. Certainly not worth much, but better than merching.
Bump for stick.
No reserve by the way 👍🏻
So the staff needs more...
And I added a sword to test the waters.
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
S/B please.
I moved this to discussion because it’s not really a price check.
R8 bows with 15-28 damage haven’t dropped since 2006, and as such are Pre-Nerf. The wiki is correct, but doesn’t mention the way they used to drop in 2005.
I've never really been one for sticks. I usually let my Labrador run around with any sticks I have as I'm more into sharp metal things I can slice a man in half with.
So my Labrador got bored of playing with this Shadow Stick a couple of years ago, and I accidentally found it at the bottom of my Storage Chest this morning as I was trying to locate where I'd put my set of 10% (7-10%) sundering sword mods. Didn't find the sword mods, but this stick fell out when I turned the chest upside down and shook it, so I wondered if anyone would like to buy it.
It's a Pre-Nerf r8 Blood Magic Shadow Stick, 10/9.
So close.
So accordingly, I'm taking offers on it. Let's see where it goes, starting bid of 1337 gold.
C/O 10a.
No reserve.
Max
Hey fellas I got another question for this thread
Recently I found a q9 Gold insc Crude Shield while farming enemies which can drop q8 Items. So I was wondering if a golden q8 insc Crude Shield exists, since wiki claims it drops in Nightfall starter areas only ... Maybe I'm missing smth
Hit me up with your thoughts.
Best regards,
Kugi
Oh yes. I have owned several over the years. 8/16 tactics, Blue, purple and gold if memory serves.
Hrwakka That’s a lot of perfect! Realising the potential in style there.
Enchanted Krystal you always were and still are the King of Magmas. I love the history in that screenshot. And I remember how hard you worked to build that. I especially remember how hard you worked to assemble the complete set of dual reduction Magmas, and waiting patiently for Aris to part with the r9. Truly epic.
There is a lot of behind the scenes sniping these days, all desperately trying to snag an item cheap before it goes to market.
Some of those are very nice indeed, but as you already know, price checking is sometimes more about raising the awareness of an item’s existence and availability just as much as trying to ascertain a value.
I wouldn’t sell to private offers or ingame, I’d list them for sale here and see where the bids go. Depending on demand, some of those could go high.
You should check out
kamadan.decltype.org just type in each of those items to get a rough idea of what they’re going for
Just a small caveat to that....
The chat log can be easily manipulated, so it’ll only give an approximate range. I’d dismiss the top selling prices, and dismiss the lower buying prices and aim for somewhere in the middle.
Those dual reduction Eternal Shields are absolutely worthy of being kept in the Ark of the Covenant. And it’s funny you should say that, as I have the Ark of the Covenant in my vaults, and as it turns out, I really do keep a set of dual reduction Eternal Shields inside it. Along with some dust that i’m led to believe used to be a stone tablet of some kind....
Test Thank you for allowing me to follow your post with these ❤️
We are considering implementing three small changes to the rules for this section only. These will not apply in the selling or buying sections - they are for price checking only, and are intended to aid discussion on an item(s)’s value where needed:
1. Allow discussion on an item’s value providing there is reason to discuss. Only comments pertaining to value and people’s reasons for it will be allowed.
2. Allow the thread creator to reply to questions and ask further questions on the item in question within 24 hours (Early bumping for no reason won’t be allowed)
3. Allow replies which don’t give a specific price because we appreciate that sometimes a value can’t be given.
Please tell us what you think to these proposed changes.
Max.
Well, y’see, these shields are botted to death by cheaters, which has driven down the value immeasurably. So suddenly dropping a load of them into an already deflated market means you’re unlikely to get much, if any interest in them. Sure, some of them have decent stats, but the sheer numbers of these being farmed means the whole world already owns perfect examples.
My advice would be to list them for sale and see where the bids go, as they’re all really common now.
Well, personally I would merch that.
That is to say, if it is good for a T1, I’m not sure a market exists for it. I’d take whatever you’re offered.
Because when u collect something...
You want more of the same thing.
That’s a very pro set. Very pro indeed.
I have cleaned up the trash. Any more comments which fall below standards will be deleted and the poster banned for a while. Second warning to keep it civil. There’s no need to behave like we’re on Reddit.
Right. Now I’m handing out bans. Pyro, you have a 24h timeout as requested.
You too, Hrwakka.
This was not how this needed to go. Keep things civil.
I saw this on Reddit, and it was simply too awesome not to share. Credit to the original poster on Reddit.... It’s a huge spoiler, so only click it if you’re up to date with current events in Game of Thrones.....
Just keep an eye on the bumping rules. You are not allowed to reply to your own thread within 24 hours. I’ve let it go for now as your reply was pertinent to the discussion, but consider this a warning. You risk your thread being closed if you reply again. Cosyfiep wont be so er... flexible.... (added by said mod for effect )
