Pricing Magic Items

[cudjoe]

I've done some dungeon visits and treasure hunts lately and dozens of magic items apeared. But i saw that pricing them is a mess. Some say that weapons below vanq/power or armors below invul are worth npc sell only. Do you agree that?

I want to make a list that explains how the price is changed with each mod to help others. I'll edit my list when i get responses. Of course, there are different types of ore and slayer items as well. But this thread will handle magic items.

So,
Weapon Damage Modifiers

• Ruin:
• Might:
• Force:
• Power:
• Vanquishing:

Weapon Accuracy Modifiers

• Accurate:
• Surpassingly Accurate:
• Eminently Accurately:
• Exceedingly Accurate:
• Supremely Accurate:

Weapon Durability Modifiers

• Durable:
• Substantial:
• Massive:
• Fortified:
• Indestructible:

Armor Modifiers

• Defense:
• Guarding:
• Hardening:
• Fortification:
• Invulnerability:

from my experience..powers are usually about 3k and vanqs about 8k.


obviously the type of weapon and other modifiers make a difference in pricing them.


not a lot of help i know...

for weps you want power+ since exceptional can be crafted and is in-between force and power. The accuracy you want on top of dmg modifier, but it won't add much gold on sale unless its top end. for armors you really just want indestructible/invulnerability as your sellers, or at least invulnerability. i either vendor everything thats under that or keep for crap farming gear i don't mind losing.

Vanq, and Power . is all anyone cares about if it does not have one of those its npc sell .. having accuracy modifiers ontop of that is a plus but accuracy with out the weapon being vanq or power does not matter ..

No one cares about durability except for the npc .. NPC's use durability to decide how much you will get for an item when you sell it to them .

 

[cudjoe]

what about armor and shields? can fortification be sold to people? also isn't accuracy important? it adds to skill significantly.

 

[Trojandrew]

accuracy is important but only if its in addition to the power/vanq modifier. unless someone just wants pure accuracy (thats used mainly for skill gain not farming). you can possibly sell fortification but it wouldnt be for a lot. in. invulnerability is the ticket item.

 

[cudjoe]

i see. then power and vanq for weapons and invul (maybe fortification) for armor and shields. accuracy and durability modifiers are not worth alone. they just add value to power+ and incul items. is that the summary?

 

[Trojandrew]

yep. now 2 things that negate this are slayer armor and wepons. berzerkers need minimum armor so they'll get crappy leather gear and put slayer properties to have smallest ar but protection from certain monsters. also a slayer weapon with exeptional/power/vanq items with accuracy are better as they will deal more dmg and the higher the accuracy the more hits you'll land, so you even exeptional + will do, although you can sell lower dmg modifiers with slayer for a smaller price (since people will buy these depending on the slayer property aka if they kill the monster of the month) so people even without lots of money can get in the game and deal dmg.

for instance a dragon slayer kryss with great accuracy and no dmg modifier, will do almost twice the dmg of a vanq kryss when used against dragons. so you can see how those added perks still sell

 

[cudjoe]

great explanation. thanks.

Accuracy has to count more toward DOT, since every time you miss you get neither your regular damage nor the modifier. Speed, likewise, seems like it must add up better because you are getting that dmg modifier with every hit. I can't really calculate it all in my head, but it seems to me accuracy and speed count for way more than dmg modifier alone.

Take archery: Sure, the heavy x-bow does more damage per hit, but since I'm hitting less I'm getting that vanquishing modifier less as well, so really it is doing less damage over time than the speedier bow.

 

[cudjoe]

so, supreme accuracy adds value to the item. but if an item has just supremely accurate modifier, it worths nothing but npc vendor.

 

[Trojandrew]

basically ya. bc theyre more common than duel modifiers
