    Tall Shield is prenerf but single non-max inherent so i'd take whatever offer you get, but recently ppl have gone crazy so who knows...

    Blue q8 12e insc focii tend to go around 20e they are usually a tough sell though. You may get more interest depending on the skin, if it's the 'gorgon' (medusa head) people tend to like those better than the 'diamond' skin.

    Butter knife, at least I could sharpen it. A dull chain probably has limited braining power or head removing potential

    Fraggle Rock or The Muppet Show?

    Servers both male and female at Unos restaurants have to ask "Do you want a warm pink center?" When someone orders a rare steak, it has led to some awkward responses.

    I'd, like, like this post but, like, I don't, like, know how. Oh noes, like, I'm typing, like, like a valley girl. Hopefully, like, this, like, gets resolved soon. Lol

    Factions is top for me too, I love the scenery there. In the past I've vanquished areas there then gone wandering around the whole explorable to look for things I never noticed before. I really enjoy the aesthetics of the Jade Sea and even though the city can be a little ugly it hides some interesting things such as the empty moving rocking chair outside KC and the many cats in different places. Also the mouse that comes out of the hole in tahkani temple is cute (iirc that's the right spot).

    Second would be Prophecies just because it has some areas I don't like. I'm also not a fan of the sand (ugh, desert). My favorite spot in prophecies would have to be kryta with it's lush greens and beautiful sky. My favorite spot to afk used to be in Gates of Kryta sitting on the hill with my froggy friend.

    Last would have to be NF, again, did I mention I hate sand? The only area in NF I consistantly play is the island of istan, and I only play there because I like the no req insc 8ar shields that can drop there.

    EotN isn't a campaign but it probably fits on my list about even with Proph. I like most areas, I enjoy some dungeons and it's mostly aesthetically pleasing to me. The probable worst thing for me about EotN is the asurans, I dislike their smug atittudes and bunny-looking faces and would love to smack Vekk around a bit.

    ...which leads to favorite tonic combo of Vekk tonic + lunatic court helm (flaming pumpkin head) = Vekk on fire.

    Most ppl go with the argument of 'easy to farm from mantids' for cele weapons.

    I farm mantids a lot, the chances of actually getting a q9 with +5e is rather low, especially once you figure in loot scaling and the anti-farm code.

    I'm not saying it's worth a ton but a q9 +5e cele bow is nice for a caster bow and you can probably get 3-10e for it.

    Accursed Staff q9 20/20 probably 5-10e max. It's a pretty common 20/20 staff to find.

    Water staff q9 20/20 fire probably merch. Mixed attrib staves are very hard/impossible to sell except df/heal or df/prot since there isn't heal or prot req os staves in most cases.

    Not sure on wand/focus

    Ofc I may be wrong, there is ppl who will buy almost anything in gw in 2017

    Vouchers / Surprise BOXES aren't tradeable. Their value is that of whatever mini or tonic you get.

    Most ppl go for 7th year surprise boxes and hope for one of the non birthday minis.

    7th year PRESENTS which you get when you turn 7 ARE tradeable, but, Surprise Box ≠ B-day Present.

    So price range from 3k if you get something like a purple burning titan to ~6 arms if you get a gold vizu... if you get the Seventh Birthday Surprise Boxes and are reaaaaaaly lucky opening one.


    ----------------

    Oppressor weapons are 6-8e for a stack of war supplies which converts to 10 medals of honor to get one weapon

    Tormented weapons = 1 arm = 110-125e currently but sometimes you can find someone selling a premade weapon cheaper 70~80e if you don't mind not choosing.

    Image isn't working, idk how to price something you can't see.

    edit: How do I right click on mobile? Embedded images within posts using [ img:XXXXXX ] don't work on chrome for mobile and long press won't open them either. External images on 3rd party sites show fine in [ img] [ /img] tags. It's why I like when ppl post the stats in text form as well.

    Yes but no, making undroppable only a few skins wasn't intended as a nerf from ncsoft. They would have to made undroppable every shields q8 to call it a nerf but that's not the case :)

    but meh, I guess we all have our own definition, logic or not

    One skin or all skins is not the point. Q8 of the skin was nerfed. All currently dropped OS shields of those skins are q9+ so the power of those old drops is no longer attainable, hence 'nerfed'.

    "In video gaming, a nerf is a change to a game that reduces the power of a weapon or skill in order to maintain game balance. The term is also used as a verb for the act of making such a change. The opposite of nerf is buff (in one of that term's two usages)"

    The term 'nerf' applies. The req one needs to get the full power of something is a change in the weapon's power. If an item can only happen at req 9 now that was previously available at req 8 it's power has changed. You can no longer get full power at req 8.

    Just my 2¢

    that's kinda what I thought. Interesting that all martial weapons in factions share the same possible inherents as proph, except the only 'new' martial weapon (at the time, daggers) which has the same possible inherents as what became inscriptions.

    Hmmm... 10e ~ 50e ~ 150e?

    Can anyone else weigh in since it's such a large range so far?

    As of now it's gonna be sitting on my mesmer as her first q9 20/20 OS staff...

    Hopefully one day I clean out her inventory of all the stuff there so I can actually play on her lol

    Omg, hard choice. I'd probably go with both, and sausage, and bacon, and hamburg...

    Picking one or the other i'd probably pick pepperoni, but it depends on my mood lol

    Deep dish or greek style?

    I agree with Vizi, most often on Factions runs I'm pretty sure I'm usually not losing $. If I am it's due to how I don't sell unids since I really don't have space to store them to sell. Yesterday was decent I think all told I ran 50-60 HM chests and had decent luck retaining, only 22 broken picks. Final tally of drops was 2 superior vigors which I kept since some of my heros still need them, ~18k made from selling other runes to traders, a q9 15^50 mammoth axe which some characters koss will probably get and 2 elite tomes (1 necro, 1 rit).

    Runs like outside Boreal Station idk how profitable they are, the skins mostly suck so you are stuck praying for max mods that are also wanted mods or elite tomes. About the best weapons you can hope for are draconic or ornate spears, bramble bows or dolyak prods. There are a few others but too but most of the weapon drops aren't really worth your time. The only time I even bother running there is if I need mods or inscriptions because I try to avoid kamadan as much as possible.

    On a different note,

    What is everyones biggest pet peeve about chestrunning?

    Mine is getting a reg mesmer tome from a chest and breaking the pick.
    Worst drop imo + broken pick = annoyed Looney :@
