[X] My Assistant

Picked this up from the Bazaar

Average Emerald Rapier of Slaughter

Great PA 3 turns/25%... but parry is mediocre

Is it worth replacing my current rapier with?

Fine Prism Rapier of Balance

Id lose 1% parry and 10% ACC in exchange for 6% ADM and 4% proc chance/1 turn more duration (at my level)

I would probably go with the Prism one, even though you lose a turn of PA. Since a crit always activates the weapon proc (for the main hand, anyway), it probably gives you a better proc chance overall.

Superior Emerald Estoc of Slaughter made me take a second look; +40% ADM and 17% chance for proc for 6 turns is pretty nice, but the shop price of 6,3k is probably to high. Surprised it didn't make it into the owner's shop...

Staff dump, Average Willow Staff of Focus has 40% chance of ET for 2 turns, and +17% depr bonus. Again, at 5,5k, probably not worth picking, unless somebody really wants that 40% for 2 turns. There is an even better one, same name, but activates later (is (2) 1 proc dur for me, even through it is lower level; the first one was pure 2). From what I read people are into high MDM, but I do think that high ET proc and duration and useful, too, and should not be overlooked... granted, the above staffs have rather low MDM, but I'll recap once again that I've not seen any 40% 2 turns staff in cmal shop when I looked through most of his staffs few days ago at all...

For about 2,5k each I picked up a low level 40% ET for 2 turns staff, and a Superior Breastplate with almost 9% resist, both in my shop now.

I am curious if I can make a profit of those, a shop experiment for me.

Flimsy Bronze Axe for the flimsy lovers,

No shame in selling those.
Estocs suck. And even the hito estoc I had wasn't a match for a decent longsword. (25% 7 turns, incredible ADM if you're curious)
Staffs aren't what you'd wanna look for in a staff.
Breastplate is average. (Well not average.. but it's no good. If you're going with leather you'd want something incredibly good. This isn't.)

I'd like to see your Longsword, yes (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That's mine; have yet to see something better (best BW value I've ever seen).

That's the best BW possible for a 2hd, I think. Same BW as my best 2hd bleeder.

And sadly, I don't think that breastplate will sell. I have a 12% resist breastplate and I think nobody would even look at it just because it's leather.

No to both. It's unlikely to be of interest to you. Funny story (well, not very): I bought it because I thought it was an improvement over what I already had. Turns out I was comparing it with a relatively inferior piece that I had equipped for no good reason, and the improvement over the piece that should have been in that slot was pretty marginal. If I had known that at the time, I would have posted it here as a "heads up" to other players and saved myself the credits. Now I'm just hoping there's enough interest from less well equipped players that I can make back what I spent on it.

And surprisingly, that turned out to be mine in the end.
It sat in my shop for a week and no interest, so I dumped it. I didn't even consider that someone might have bought that.

Man, I have so many nice longswords lol. Too bad there's not really all that much interest in them.

I have a couple of eth ones too, but they don't have that kind of bleed.

And no, regular leather never sells in my experience.

In shop:

Average Mithril Wakizashi of the Nimble (nothing special, but it is an average wakizashi..+8% parry). 4k

Fine Ruby Axe of the Ox - doesn't look half bad, +25% ADM, only 4 interference, +8.5 STR and 287 BW damage. 1$ foe 3 rounds only, though. At 3,3k... probably to expensive to pick up from the shop, though.

Average Prism Longsword of Slaughter has good ADM (+40%) and BW value (357, I think max for its level), 15% for 3 rounds only... also 3.3k, too expensive?

Aveage Dragon Hide Gaunlets of Protection seem pretty useless, and way too expensive for 6k.

The only shame about that is when people actually BUY this.

lv 103 Average Mithril Wakizashi of the Nimble
Price: 2000 C
lv 104 Average Mithril Wakizashi of the Raccoon
Price: 2000 C

These 2 have been sitting in my wts topic for MONTHS for less than HALF the price. And I knew someone would end up buying them from the store the moment I sell them.

No. Too low Proc chance. This is anything but rare. Kinda half-assed.

No. Nothing special about that.

No. Doesn't seem worth buying.

Just bought this from the bazaar:
Average Kevlar Breastplate of the Frost-born

Could I have a second opinion on this? I bought it because of the neat physical mit.
It has the same phys mit as my Exquisite Mithtil-adorned Leather Breastplate of Protection. But has higher Evade and Resist. And on top of that lower interference and burden since it's kevlar. + as a bonus Cold mit.

And surprisingly, that turned out to be mine in the end.

No one's bid on it yet...

Hmmm, after scaling it to my level, it's not as good as my Fine Kevlar Breastplate, but not THAT far off. Still, it seems very comparable to the Superior Leather Breastplate I picked up from the Baazar few days ago that people were saying will not sell. Still, I think it's a decent item to save and put into the player use or shop.

Picked this up from the Bazaar

Crude Gossamer Robe of the Elementalist

Its Crude, but its got the same base proficiency as the Robe Conquest is Currently Auctioning. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Picked up this Fine Diamond Rapier of Balance. Expensive at shop price of 5k, but it was better than my old rapier (2% less proc chance; 2 total attribute points less; roughly double all other stats and half the interf). I am also sure it is better than any rapier in any other player shop (unless you don't care about proc duration, which I do).

Average Prism Wakizashi of the Battlecaster

This was a pure impulse buy (and a costly one). Now I need an expert to tell me if it was actually worth it... How useful is a battlecaster Wakizashi with average Parry?

and bought this thing while I was at it:

Superior Diamond Axe


Is it better than my current axe?
Fine Prism Axe of Slaughter

New Axe has better proc % and duration, but weaker bleed damage.

Like other one with similar stats. You need a battlecaster katana first, before you can see if it's useful, and IIRC only Boggyb has one.

Average parry? I think anything above 10% for a wakizashi is good, I see plenty of ones with lower parry.

New Axe has better proc % and duration, but weaker bleed damage.

They are probably as good, question of taste, really.

All are however items I wouldn't want to see wasted in a game shop; the wakizashi, in particular.

Yes it's average parry. But this makes it good.
Battlecaster+average parry+above average bleed dmg
It's definitely rare. (I'd have bought it too).

I'll buy it from you if you don't want it.
