Zelnehlun's Longbow - Guild Wars Forums

What's the beef with this unique?

It has a great skin, the "best" mods, and an above average insignia.

So why is this price so low? 3-5k is the rock bottom for green prices.

So does anyone know why this great bow is so cheap? (Not that I'm complaining, I just bought one for 3k. xD)

It's because it's incredibly easy to farm. And there are so many available that they're so cheap. I remember selling them for ~15k a week of two after NF was released. Plus, when NF was released, the boss wouldn't attack. Easy free kill.

RaginAsian · Sep 17, 2007, 12:14 AM // 00:14

I don't think many other people like the skin and the 15%/armor -10 while attacking mod is definitely not the most desirable damage mod

Sergeant of Marines · Sep 17, 2007, 12:32 AM // 00:32

All of the above, basically,, overfarmed (takes about 2 mins to farm) and not the best mods and skin IMO.

Fay Vert · Sep 17, 2007, 12:38 AM // 00:38

It's a great bow, excellent skin and good mods. And I have a dozen in store and have given twice that number away for free to guildies, alliance or used on heroes.

The price of an item was 5 main factors;

Color - Gold is top followed by green/purple

Skin - Skin isn't that important, if an item is hard to get it will be valuable, no matter what it looks like.

Req - Lower req sell for more because they are harder to get. Most sensible people sell low req, and keep high req to use.

Damage Mod - 15^50 is the most sought after because it's the most versatile.

Rareness - This is the biggest deciding factor on price. A req item with a high req will always (there are a few exceptions) sell for more then a common item with a low req.

By that you can work out why your bow is so cheap..

#1 easy to farm
#2 it's green
#3 not 15^50

It's because everyone can farm it. When I say everyone, I mean any profession, and it doesn't even have to be lvl 20. I remember having around 7 of those bows at one point...

Onarik Amrak · Sep 17, 2007, 01:52 AM // 01:52

Well, it's not the most worthless Green in existence.

I think either The Purifier or Shreader's Talons takes that spot.

KANE OG · Sep 17, 2007, 02:25 AM // 02:25

Take a Rotscale anyday.

To the OP: The stats are fine, skin is fine.... why are you bitching about it not selling? Nothing's selling anymore. Take the good stuff/good looking stuff for yourself and your heroes and be happy.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE MONEY SELLING GREENS ANYMORE!

Supply and demand is the main factor in any MMO economy.
High supply + low demand = worthless.
Low supply + high demand = valuable.

I agree, greens arent the way to make money anymore. With inscriptions, people can construct their perfect weapon with a better skin, if they get a gold.

simple fact is that it was overfarmed, its quite late in the game and its still really easy. supply-demand. simple.

Depends on the weapon. Bows you pretty much need req 10 and under, since there's very few reasons to push marksmanship up.

zwei2stein · Sep 17, 2007, 10:50 AM // 10:50

N/R specced in death magic can solo that boss ... its that easy.

Really, its propably THE easiest green to farm, it has quite bad stats (15/-10 is really bad, sundering is not stewllar either), its skin is not really cool.

3k is too much for it.

reverse_oreo · Sep 17, 2007, 01:37 PM // 13:37

why is this a thread?

Oh, let me add to it.

Why is victo's axe only 5k?

/end sarcasm

really, why is there a thread about how expensive a green bow is. Stop.

Because you touch yourself at night.

[Or alternatively.... because the stats aren't all that awesome... the skin is "alright"... and the Green... note: Greens of a type = All the same ... is very easily farmed.]

WildmouseX · Sep 17, 2007, 05:21 PM // 17:21

that spot was overfarmed a long time agao, before loot scaleing you could pull 100k a week out of there. it's still a pretty good spot to get weekend event drops, such as the cupcakes from the birthday event.

i use to sell my golds for 1k with one of these bows free... eventually i couldn't even get rid of em that way, and just started giving them away to lowbies in the starter towns when i got a full inv screen of them.

Diddy bow · Sep 17, 2007, 08:21 PM // 20:21

3-5K is robbery for it :P.

its probs the most common green around now, stats arnt paticuarly bad just anyone who deos want one for w/e reason has thousands of people trying to give him it for near nothing XD. I just gave mine away.
