people want it for their 40/40 sets.
wow, never seen 40k though :/
7-8 if you're unlucky, can usually get it for 5 or less though

Masseur · Dec 28, 2008, 08:08 AM // 08:08

Well, I'd corner the market at those prices, they sell very quickly for 25K-30K

what is a topic name?? I may have seen it before but just havent noticed it.

Slash From The Shadows · Dec 28, 2008, 08:23 AM // 08:23

Well, i've never seen ppl selling for any of the prices ppl just said, except the 20-30k, but imo it's more like 20-25.

It is the thread name.

On topic, people I'm asking why, not for price checks

FengShuiDove · Dec 28, 2008, 08:33 AM // 08:33

Rarity and desirability. Same as Superior Vigors.

Actually he's right. "Aptitude Not Attitude" is for wands. "Forget Me Not" is for focus items. It's expensive because it's universal to all casters, because it takes on the attribute of the item being applied to. Unlike "Strength And Honor" which is abundant, FMN doesn't appear as often.

tmakinen · Dec 28, 2008, 10:23 AM // 10:23

You need four different mods for a 40/40 set, a wand wrapping of memory, a focus core of aptitude and "Aptitude Not Attitude" and "Forget Me Not" inscriptions. Although all the four are needed in equal amounts, their availability differs significantly:

perfect wand wrapping - about 1/100 chance from a rare drop
perfect focus core - about 1/500 chance from a rare drop
perfect ANA - about 1/500 chance from a rare drop
perfect FMN - about 1/2000 chance from a rare drop

Because perfect FMN is so rare, it's pricey as well. It's the only mod with a market for non-perfect items.

Luminarus · Dec 28, 2008, 11:42 AM // 11:42

It also has the best name out of all the inscs imo.

Rothan Celt · Dec 28, 2008, 03:32 PM // 15:32

lol @ Luminarus

But basically its a rather rare mod but repetitive farming of Caster mobs drops pretty quickly (thinking of vet farms) it is also in high demand.

The high demand of it / how rare it is pretty much fuzzlez the price up

Also i tend to find ppl are not so good on price checking Mods/inscr the prices tend to vary and i myself remember getting a forget me not awhile back and merching it

looong time ago however.

Also because the inscr is in such high demand ppl often use it rather than sell it... i know i would anyway.
Todays market its 20-25k i tried to sell at 30k once but i got hateful PMs

*Darcy* · Dec 28, 2008, 03:56 PM // 15:56

Rare drop + keep for own use = not many on the market

When I see someone with WTB for one, I tell them avg price and explain about collector weapons.

Dante the Warlord · Dec 28, 2008, 04:32 PM // 16:32

Ive gotten one ONCE with an attitude not aptitude mod, single handedly the best mods I have ever gotten. i got it out of a chest on a CoF run =). But it is very very rare and imperfects are even hard to find. My drop was the only one I have ever gotten and my inventory is filled with nothing but golds, mostly caster items.

I personally kept mt mod, knowing how extremely rare it was and attached it to my necro. If i ever need it on any char I usually use a perfect salvage on the mod, because i am not buying a new one. Most other mods have fallen in pricing because they became so common. Attitude not aptitude and forget me not are the only mods worth something these days.

Matermine · Dec 28, 2008, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Why are most expensive things that way? Because they are rare. Simply put.

masterjer1 · Dec 28, 2008, 05:26 PM // 17:26

20-25k is about the going price. It is a rare inscription. I didn't realize this until I decided to set my necro up with a 40/40 curse set. Realizing the total price and time it would take to get my set, I went the cheaper way and bought a couple Droknars Keys. The keys go for around 6-8k which is alot better value.

TurinPT · Dec 28, 2008, 05:58 PM // 17:58

I have identified 1,903 items, only 3 of those had a perfect Forget Me Not inscription.

Raku Clayman · Dec 28, 2008, 06:23 PM // 18:23

I get them occasionally and I once bought one for 1K after posting a WTB. Not everyone knows how much they go for.

Arkantos · Dec 28, 2008, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Same reason why most expensive items are expensive. High demand with a limited supply. The inscription is quite uncommon.

MrGuildBoi · Dec 28, 2008, 07:25 PM // 19:25

Alright, I got my answer. Low drop rate, rare, people use them more than sell. This can be closed

TY all.

And you are smart.

You can usually buy a collector set or greens instead of just the one inscription. I found this out a few weeks ago.
