  • Soul Reaping 5 for All? Theory-Crafting

    would only make sense trying to take a damage elite or something else to boost team damage instead of the BiP - else it will certainly just come down to more stale time on the BiP. maybe adapt the whole team a bit so they can cover the tiny bit of energy deficit compared to having a bip by themselves.

  • 2025 New Items Drop Locations

    Shaya indeed no new skins on the low levels.

    some in eotn region do not seem to have that restriction (I did post a screen of a granite edge 12-17 dmg that dropped from raptors nm).

    for the "core" ones the lowest I have seen is a lvl 22, which was posted by xander in here as well. but most stuff comes from endgame (WoC, DoA, Ring of Fire Islands...)

  • Returning and looking for a PC

    don't fall for pms too fast. mauso shield extremely rare and a new one on the market will get some interest even if it is a shitmod one :D

    ram skin war hammer also dope rare and rather desired.

    the q7 shields should also fetch at least 10a-50a maybe also way more.

    and the matching prenerf shields are cool - those will also get interest (tall&aegis&eternal) I'd guess 10-100a each

    the q8 prenerf shields also will always fetch arms - 10-50 my guess.

    the forbidden staff isn't prenerf, but perf and should fetch 10a+ - we rarely have forbidden staves.

    sotw is far off max and not prenerf -I'd merch.

    same goes for the metal earth staff... standard 20/10. merch

    the amber is matching and rare, but high req and undesired skin - I'd hero or merch.

    battlepick cool prenerf. 10-30a, maybe more?

    and the wicked isn't prenerf, but useable and perf purple, I'd still see 5-10a

    I'd advise to put all the prenerfs/mauso on an auction and let it run for a while.

  • WTFKanaxai's PC Thread

    in order:

    20-100e, bad mod but still a dualmod q8

    10-20e, personally I might even merch

    2-5a, stance I don't think is desored as much, but I might be mistaken

    10-30a quite rare, yet skin not so popular

    10-50e, ask Agent Chevy before you trash it.

    I don't see too much, but skin and demon... could get 10-30e

    10e-2a

    hope it helps

    glowing in my inventory :)

    I will us this in screens of items I drop s a catchphrase to protect from foul play allegations ;) in the end I will not participate in the contest as in I can win a prize, but items I find will be taken from the list.

    for every proof of a claim only the first to post here will recieve the points.

    I want to leave the option open to extend the deadline if there is too little contribution till end of anniversary. But it shall at latest end end of this year so you have something to work toward. let's say at least an accumulated value of 30points must have been earned.

  • 20th Anniversary Mini-Pet Impact Discussion

    I really don't see the big inflation coming... I might even argue the prices will barely be affected by the vast presence of those minis but much rather by the panic sales right now and will go back to normal soon enough. remember when the insc crystas came to be... and were added to the zchest... anyone can buy himself a perf crysta these days and still the os perfect versions are veryVERY far from worthless. and the only way to differentiate between the two would be showing in a trade window. the tradeable versions are and will be unobtainable and will further be used as currencies due that - no new ones were introduced to the market, if you hold one it is precisely as goddamn rare as before. BIG difference to the asian minis from the bday presents. I really don't get the panic.

  • GW gear stat ranges

    Quote from Urgoz

    Do I receive 5 points retroactively for confirming the existance of a new max for q3 staff earlier this year :)

    As much as I agree that was a very worthy find I wouldn't know where to draw the line if granting points retroactively... also my predictions are made based on the status as is and as such on certain entries when awarding points retrospectively I would have a hard time telling if it would have been predicted or not. on the 9-14: that one would have been predicted, as wands have that max damage listed already as do purple and blue/white staves. So I cannot award points retrospectively I'm afraid. I hope this does sound reasonable :)

  • Stat table bounty hunt for the upcoming anniversary

    Before I copy paste: crosslink

    I'd love to see some activity on here and really improve the table for the 20th anniversary. Happy hunting and enjoy playing like it was the first day, where you had to check if an item was max with your friends ;)

  • GW gear stat ranges

    I felt like the upcoming 20th anniversary would make the perfect occasion to get some of these values fixed.

    Display Spoiler

    we do see a general pattern: the min dmg for q1-5 is always the same, which is due to the fact that items with req start dropping at 9g unid for blue and white, and 6g for prp. 9g then yields the reqs 1-5, where q6 just starts at 10g, so on some weapons due rounding the q6 min damage is the same and on some is one higher. purple starts dropping on lvl7, which have a min value of 5g, which is the only place where you can get the q0 purple items and consequently the min q0 in prp on staves will differ from blue/white. the other way round the wep types max dmg occurs at q9-13, where again due to rounding on some weapon types the max damage is also possible on a q8 (foc shield sword). in between the ranges are pretty much linear to the req, which gives us some more candidates for lower/higher possible options as compared to what we have. Also staves and wands should be all identical in all rarities on min/max damages (except the min stats at the start of each rarity, since the higher rarities start dropping at higher level and hence higher min stats... read the table you will see what I mean) On top of that there is a very small set of items that I have been shown that have stats exceeding with a believable claim they dropped recently yet not meeting our standard of making absolutely sure (aka insc item or item still on ground or unid) so those could not be added.

    long story short: I would like to award people for new entries with money from my own bank - if anyone felt like it I'd certainly accept donations to fund these or would also accept people refraining to accept their reward - I'd want to set out a prize as motivation to start the hunt.

    the bounty hunt will run until end of the ingame anniversary event, starting now. You can earn points:

    confirming a predicted min value: 1 point

    confirming a predicted max value: 3 points

    confirming a new min exceeding the table and the predictions: 3 points

    confirming a new max exceeding the table and the prediction: 5 points

    spot a missing min prediction: 1 point

    spot a missing max prediction: 3 points

    by the end the 5 people with most points will be awarded a prize money:

    1st 20a

    2nd 2a0e

    3rd-5th 20ecto

    and everyone participating shall recieve on top 20k for every point earned! If I get some donations I might increase the prize money.

    so get to work and let's finally make the table somewhat reliable (I still expect a lot of room for further improvements on scythes, daggers and spears especially).

    grand total 50 new min entries and 18 new max entries predicted. that is about every 5th of all min entries and 13th of all max entires. That is pathetic after 20years! we shall not embarrass ourselves to the gods - get to work!

    If you want advice as to where to go to find them...

    Display Spoiler

    min q1-5/max q1 lvl 9/10

    min q6 lvl 10/11

    min q7/max q2 lvl 12/13

    min q8/max q3 lvl 15

    min q9/max q4 lvl 17

    min q10/max q5 lvl 19

    max q6 lvl 20/21

    min q11 lvl 21/22

    max q7 lvl 22

    min q12/max q8-12 lvl 24+

    those are the best sources listed (aka highest chance for the drop) for blue and white items.

    the range where something is possible usually goes down 3-5 levels from there (e.g. for a max q3 you read lvl15, it is possoble to get in the range lvl11-15.)

    Happy hunting!
