I think it’s less than 15a - prophecies creature mods seem to be weirdly sought after atm.

7-8a for me. It’s a nice shield for sure.

Certainly no more than the above - good ones aren’t common but these are chest run regularly.

Personally I think 20e max, r10 and 3 off hurts a lot, although -2 stance and a hp mod make this useful and potentially wieldable by a player that likes the skin.

Agree with above. Bad luck. Perfect matching mods and a r9 and I think you’d find a buyer pretty easily, even if the hexed mods are pretty rubbish.

I can see someone picking this up for a 20e or more.

It’s not particularly useful but it’s a matching attribute with r9 and a nice skin. Second mod is a bit of a killer though. A hp mod would be much better.

Get more opinions, or put up for auction and see what happens. It’s a bit of an oddity so hard to value.

I would merch it personally.

I have a magmas with these exact mods, which was valued a while ago at approx. 20a.

I’m gonna say <10a. I think between the r11 and the fact it is a less desired and slightly more common than a magmas, but has the same issue that it cannot drop with a tactics req, this would be fair.

What campaign?

I’ve had 4 to date, incl. the above pair. My 3rd didn’t drop until WiK (4 years later!!!) from a white mantle on the Falken run in watchtower coast (jewelled chalice +41hp ench single mod). My last was a r8 divine symbol from salt flats chest - the only time I have actively farmed for r8s! - with single mod 19% HSR smite.

Cloud Strife you owe me 50e

The irony here being that you can make a Dom/smite build - but it’s a signet build and has no spells...

Tombs, second level, second room, grasp of insanity, r8 15ench battlepick.

My second was in Teinai’s room in tahnnakai temple, r8 15 -5e plagueborn maul from an afflicted warrior.

Anyone collecting fire/water/earth wands?

Thanks Fog Nightmare. No matching HCT/HSR wands in over 15 years.

I think this is more than 30e for a r8, given eternals can’t drop any more in gold below r9. I’d say 1-2a, the dmg reduction mod hurts but a perfect attribute mod is nice. If this had -2 ench on it, this would break 5a easily in my opinion.

Pretty wand, good req and skin, but very average mods. ~20e for me. I wouldn’t merch this.

Get more opinions 🙂

I think the above is fair, take what you can get. I think it’s 2 off as well, you can get r6 e11 still. The mods aren’t even that great, despite being perfect.

Honestly I’d merch it but there are certain collectors of such oddities.

I’d salvage the mods off the shield and merch the weapons.

Check out this thread for some further info 🙂

Help me understand weapon pricing?

I’ve been playing GW on and off since the original release, have about 1400 hours across 12 characters and the one thing I’ve never been able to get my head around is how to tell if a drop is valuable or not.

I get that some are valuable for the inscriptions like “Aptitude not Attitude” but what’s the difference between a rare bow worth 1e and a rare bow worth 15+ arms? Is it all about the skins? And if so, is there a list of rare skins that are worth selling?

Also how do you obtain these items?…

Based on feedback on other similar hammers:

R8 summit hammer - good skin, okay mod 15-25a

R8 righteous maul - okay skin (I love it but there we are), best mod 25-35a

Hard to put an exact number on this but I would say 5a-10a. Nice clean gold value for those that care about such things.

Another one of these things that could go higher with interest. Current there is an amber aegis with fire/-5(20%) which is sitting at 100e, and your shield has a better skin, better dmg reduction mod, and a comparable quality attribute.

Bump, thanks for the bids and b/os

Agree with above. For silly money with a strength req you want stance or unconditional mods, but matching enchanted mods are also great! I think with perfect mods this could be a lot more than 100a.

Imperfect HP Mods will reduce value by 50% plus depending on the level of imperfection.

For r8 even dumb combinations like armor vs creature and a condition duration reduction will have interest. I can see 1-5a+ even with essentially useless but perfect mods.

The only way this becomes worthless is if it’s a single mod IMO. Fingers crossed you get 2 mods!

Not useful but perfect mods, r9, tactics and a decent skin. 25-50e for me depending on interest.

Reserve right not to sell etc. Happy bidding!

I will accept party points instead of ecto, in the following ratios to ectos. This is capped at a maximum of 3000 points across all bids.

2pt Tonics = 2e per stack (3000 points = 6 stacks = 12e)

1pt Spammable = 1.5e per stack (3000 points = 12 stacks = 18e)

Other types will be considered on a case by case basis.

No preference will be given to bids with or without party points. Winning bids containing party points will consume the 3000 point cap.

r9 Strength +30hp -20% Bleed Plagueborn Shield

s/b 1a c/o 1a Gentleman Xander b/o later

r9 20% Earth HSR/10% HCT Earth Wand

s/b 1a b/o later

Triple attribute r9 Fire 20% HSR Water/19% HCT Earth Dragon's Breath Wand

s/b 1e b/o 10e sold T Miles pending delivery

r9 Strength +9 armor vs Demons / +45hp w/ enchanted GoTH

s/b 1e b/o 50e sold Obsidian pending delivery

r9 +5e Flatbow (wooden skin)

s/b 1e b/o 10e

For me this is on the level of rarity as r8 15^50 dead bows and sephis axes, albeit in a much less popular skin and weapon type and theoretically can drop from more chests in hells precipice.

100a + for me, but I don’t see a huge bidwar like you would see on the above items. That’s with rose tinted nostalgia glasses for 2005 gw 🙂 It’s the name you’re paying for, as the skin is shared with the basic war hammer, which you wouldn’t pay anywhere close to 100a for even with these mods. The above items have gone for multiple hundreds of arms in comparison.

I would expect a mursaat hammer with these mods to go for more than this despite being a more common drop due to being able to drop in more places, as its skin is unique and well liked.

Quote from Mr. Clean(-Value)

and also a teaser

the perfect level of imperfection?

The harmonic rod needs to be auctioned, it’s worth a lot. Like XX arms a lot.

Water wand is a collectors item, so I’d take what you can get. If it were me I’d merch it, I know it’s matching 20/19 but r9 non max with non matching req is a killer. R8 and 11-21 would be another story. I’d merch the plague focus and jade wand too personally.

Plagueborn sceptre I’d say 15-25e, maybe more with luck. Truncheon around the same. Get a second opinion on these.

Is this actually useful?

Good against skeletal sorcerers for sure. Lightning touch always seems to hit like a truck!

Thanks!

Another one from me - is there a shield with -3 (10%) and +30hp out there? Like the previous, its something that should exist but I have never seen one.

You know I did think of that when it dropped! There was a tinge of disappointment.

Just need a r9 water HCT 19% fire HSR 20% earth to complete the collection!

Anyone collecting fire/water/earth wands?

Agree not enough going on here to make it worth selling

A perfect hp mod with a 20% HCT/HSR is also worth a good amount, comparable to a 20/10 combo. +29 or +44 hp mods with a 20% HCT/HSR will also have some value but less that the previous examples. Less hp will be accepted, again at lower value, if the skin is nice. Armor with 20% HCT/HSR follows similar rules but see the last paragraph for the armor mods you want to avoid. 19% mods will obliterate much of the value, and in combination with an iffy hp mod these can turn into merch food.

Mixes of 10% HCT/HSR and hp/armor mods are only really worth anything with a good req and a good skin. Even then the value won’t be particularly high. Common skins and r10 or higher are merch food.

Hp/armor combinations are more tricky to sell. Perfect combinations with a good req and skin will sell for low to moderate value, because people like the oddball factor. Imperfect combinations can be merched. In particular you want to avoid the while hexed mods, armor while attacking, armor in exchange for -20hp and armor in exchange for -5 energy.

Armor +10 vs demons is a bit of a rogue variable here as I understand it. I think a good skin and req and a 20% mod could sell for a lot in the right circumstances.

The +1 (19/20%) mods are worth something in combination with a matching 20% or 19% HCT/HSR or a perfect hp mod. Good skins can sell with a 10% HCT/HSR or a decent armor mod, but not for much.

Generally foci are considered harder to sell than other weapon types. These statements are made based on my observations, other commenters may have different opinions.

You’re right of course - I missed a step in my explanation. I think a shiverpeak chest that spawns from a boss in grenths footprint cannot drop summit weapons because it uses the miners chest drop table.

To clarify on my part, I’m certainly not denying that sws or sss can drop in grenths footprint, just that theoretically you have a slightly lower chance. Perhaps a bit of a weird comment in hindsight.

I think you would have slightly less chance of sws and sss running here than tascas. The reason being the bosses are classed as SF enemies (drop enslavement stones); afaik summit weapons do not drop from miners chests. That’s not to say they can’t drop, just boss groups have less chance. I’m assuming that individual chests are associated with a particular foe, not group of foes.

I sold a r9 Domination 20/20 resto for 5e. It won’t sell for more than 10e imo, but there may be someone who can find a use for it. It’s a liked skin and air/water isn’t the worst mix in the world.

Personally I wouldn’t merch it without putting it up for a short while.

We know there are 3 OS +5e crystallines out there.

But was there ever a dwarven or serpent, or any of the other oddball HoH skins with a +5e mod?

So your daggers can be merched for sure. Even if they were 20% while hexed the mod is not desired at all (even if it could be useful in some hex heavy areas!).

The shield isn’t worth much but you could try putting it up for sale and see what you get. I could certainly see a perfect version going for a few 10s of ectos, even a couple of armbraces. Even though creature mods aren’t that useful in many cases, they are quite liked. Take note of an shields with +10 vs demons as well, these can be worth a lot (10s or even 100s of armbraces) especially when combined with a ‘while enchanted’ second mod.

On the insc vs non insc point, try adding an inscription to weapons like these - it won’t let you, thus confirming their non-insc status.

Fun but a long way from max armor for r8, a common skin, and the mods aren’t useful.

Personally would merch, unless some collector of the weird and wonderful appears in your pms.

The greens question is something that’s being discussed in the context of prenerf greens in another thread. There are those such as wroth’s holy rod which had its stats radically changed, which are worth something - I think the price depends on how many show up on legacy at the same time. Then there are others where dye colour or mod order have been changed. The value of these superficial changes - i.e. the versions that no longer drop- is not well understood afaik. It’s a pretty niche market!

There are some greens that come from ‘off the beaten track’ in the sense that you have to go out of your way to kill the boss, they’re hard to farm, and the drop rate sucks. Think greens from the realm of torment in areas far from outposts for example; these often have weird and wonderful skins too that don’t exist in PvE as a regular drop. These can have a little value to the right person.

I don’t think there are any ‘surface’ greens from regular bosses with any consistent value.

Firebrand stands out among the WiK greens as having serious value; I think the soul reaper and the command shield are also sellable, and Law and Order due to the awesome skin. The others have iffy stat combos even if the skins are nice so aren’t all that wanted (personally I like Peace, which Dunkoro wields with pride!). Aside: a point of resentment, I had 3 greens drop in one play through of WiK, including two during the same quest, but not one since. Hmmph.

WoC greens are farmed to death so I don’t think these are worth much.

I’d get a second opinion but I think I’m reasonably on the money here.

It’s important, but just having r9 and no other redeeming qualities typically makes equipment worthless.
