ye. 10-20e, tough sale so take what you get

bump and sheet.. forgot reply TastreGW1 I fear... I do have a q9 of those already, so I'd not need that. thanks for reaching out though and sorry for the missing reply to it

defender 1a thanks for tag

mark of rodgort conjure flame. just saying

seems I'm not alone...

careful though: you are comparing äpfel mit birnen... with wotm and ce you tie your secondary profession plus use 2 of 8 skill slots. if you go secondary monk and bring SoH you will do more damage - but again the comparison is lacking because there I would count in attribute points spent into smite. so... it is a big compound of variables to factor in to decide for the optimum!

str

two calculations:

cs will increase crit hit chance by 5%. just taking base damage on a bow the average is 21.5, the crit is 28*sqrt(2)=40. assuming 0% crit base you have 21.5 avg before the mod and 40*0.05+21.5*0.95=22.4 damage.

str will reduce armor by 5%. so against a 60ar target you get 2^(0.05*60/40)*21.5=22.6 avg damage.

now for cs the assumptions were optimistic: you do not have a base of 0% crit, so the 5% crit from cs only applies to the remaining attacks, which means less impact. for str the assumptions were optimistic: usually targets do have more than 60ar in tougher environments - on the weaker nobs you wouldn't care about the snall difference really. benefit: str also increases the damage of your crits.

now all this is situational, so if you want to optimize for a specific scenario you might conclude differently. for general means however, I'd conclude as outlined.

for other weapons the result can be different though! an axe for example has a wider gap for the damage range, which means a crit hit does more difference compared to the average and conclusively cs would be the stronger option in the outlined assumptions: str would yield 18.15 avg damage, whilst cs would only yield 17.85. given the remarks about how realistic those assumptions were however mostly str would still be stronger.

they are everywhere. most items you see on legacy are from bots. even or especially the rare ones. most prominent place is certainly kaineng, but nolani, feather and all the other mats for consets, doa gems, HoH, random arenas, even ectos, obby shards, q8s in kaineng quest, CoF, raptors ... you name it. nothing is safe, everything is spoiled. most are run in english or french districts, but many also scatter across random districts so you can't track them. they do not interact at all, and you can barely reach them, before they reenter their area. as long as anet gives shit about it it is pretty pointless to farm as a casual player.

but yeah its a pc thread... sry. a defender exact same stats went for 80a recently so a japan shield should and will far exceed that. I wouldn't be surprised about mid to higher xxxa range. put for auction and give it time.

and ench mods on a strength shield wouldn't be more valueable.

okay I've tried:

let's just calculate hct and hsr mods: 1.4% among the dualmods. matching will be 1/21 or 0.07%. matching max about 0.017%. among all gold wands 0.003%. matching to req... difficult. you'd consider a req div 20/20 prot matching, but not a req fire mod earth... I'd ballparkit as slightly more than only the 14attris available for req, so let's take 10. so 0.0003% or 1:33.000.

multiprof foci however are what will put all this to shadows... maybe I'll even attempt that now...

you'll be taken aback: a gold dualmod shield is 8% to be matching stance - and max stance mod 0.5%. among all the gold shields that drop it is about 0.1% or 1:1000.

the wand math in the thread is way off in several regards as I replied in the linked thread. with data and knowledge I gained since I guess I could do another approach at trying to give a proper number, but it will be way more common than the number given yet way more uncommon than a shield.

check what skin it is - if it is the dead staff skin it will be worth more, but ballpark is about right

Quote from Skeel van Keel

I thought I could just jump into a random area and start farming for some cool loot.

you absolutely can! every mob can drop max for req things. and you just need to know a thing or two as to what to look for. the items stats thread will be a good help there. but not any max for req drop will be worth money - but cool nonetheless.

gl on them!

Quote from Looney

lvl 12 foes in order to get a q4 max gold drop

q3 you mean

#1 no. for example lvl10mob: it can drop 9-15 q8staff, but it certainly cannot drop 11-21 q8 staff. on a similar approach: a lvl24 mob can drop a 15-22 sword, but certainly it cannot drop a q8 one. so you can neither say that if a certain req drops, that the mob can drop max damage for that req, nor, that because a mob drops a certain damage range it can drop lowest req possible for that damage range. you cannot even say that either of the two does apply to any given dropped stats.

#2 no. there is various restrictions: some weapons do not drop in all rarities, like tribal axe or guardian of the hunt. not all mobs can drop all items rarities - gold rarity starts dropping at lvl12 for example. armors are an entire thing of its own concerning this: for example charr armor does not drop in purple or gold except from chests... and so on. what does apply: IF an item can drop in gold rarity AND the mob can drop gold rarity AND the mob drops the item in any rarity THEN he can also drop it in gold rarity. at least for the most part. there is exceptions to this even...

a-c 1-5a each, d merch, e duplicate, f merch, gmerch-5e - might sell with the q8.

the cane should get you an arm or two, the crude is definitely the best - put it for auction, it might sell for 10 or 80a depending on interested parties. the two round shields won't bring mucch - maybe some ecto up to an arm for the stance, the hex one will not sell - put on a hero or merch.

things like this usually sell somewhere in the mid double digit armbrace range

q16 1a

0 10e

merch

no. I'd merch everything

gavel of nephilim is preberf and should get you quite some arms. pur ir for auction, give it some time and don''t rush to sell to pm. I'd expect xx-xxxa

rest of the bulk I'd tend to say merch. mb sell the q9 20/10 plagueborn staff for 10e and the 13/5 shield potentially 5e as well. but nowhere near the gavel.
