I saw a q8 inscrib 15-22 being sold on here just a little bit ago but I can't find the thread for the life of me. When I looked at it people where getting into the 100e+ range for the max so if I could get a PC on my almost max Q8 Brute inscrib 15-21 it would be much appreciated.

1 off makes a big difference.....

Most i've ever been offered was 40k, but I chose to keep it. :/

Ehm, merched? Someone said he had 40k offers on a q8 Short Sword and you guys wanna merch the brute? Yeah, good price checks guys.

I'm not gonna sit and speculate in how much this is worth, because just as any other item in game it doesn't actually have any value other then what people are willing to pay for it. What I can tell you though is that there should be plenty of people willing to bid on this provided the price is right. So I'd just put it up for auction and see what happens.

the fact that req8 swords still drop makes this merchworthy. can you get someone stupid enough to pay for it? possibly but it doesn't change the fact its merchfood.

Averaine Clou · Mar 17, 2012, 01:06 PM // 13:06

Apparently there are ppl willing to pay some gold for swords like this, so I guess it doesn't make this sword a merchfood.

I don't see why anyone would want a q8 non max sword as req 8 swords in most skins aren't all that rare. I am sure it is possible you might find an idiot that has heard req 8 is elite and will buy it thinking it has value.

I have noticed in the newer players they tend not to understand why the older players are actually after req 7 and 8 items. They just see the req and think valuable. If it were my sword I would have merched it long ago. If you get an offer for anything take it.

I doubt it's safe to say that the game is any more likely to drop an r9 15-22 damage sword than it is to drop an r8 15-21 damage sword. So the only rarity here has more to do with the odds that fewer players would keep a sword like this to try to pc/sell at all rather than simply merching it outright. (There may also be fewer folks playing where foes are likely to drop r8 15-21 swords.)

There are some players around who enjoy collecting non-max items. There aren't many of them, but they're well aware that the items they're collecting aren't max. I've chatted with a few of them, and I'm confident they like this stuff for reasons other than the implied, "duhhhrrr it's q8 ... ooo shiny ... duhhhhrr" There's no wonderful new functionality they get from these items, but there's no wonderful new functionality boost to support most of the fair market value prices for weapons in this game either.

To imply the people collecting pixels you don't care about must be doing so for only stupid reasons is pretty self-centered and narrow-minded! I'd merch Crystalline Swords rather than keep them, as I find them beyond absurd looking. But there are plenty of other players around who quite enjoy them! Just because you don't like certain pixels or stats does not prohibit the rest of the playerbase from liking them. PC thread replies are supposed to be your best, educated guess on fair market value, not what something is worth to you.

If you do not care to keep this one yourself and want to sell it, I think you're perfectly "safe" selling it for whatever high offer seems worth your trouble. It's very unlikely anyone is going to make powertrading profit off you here, as the end market for these things is pretty small and niche-y already.

Krystal is fond of his Short Sword, and to him, it's worth more than 40k - that's his choice! I would not PC either his sword or the Brute Sword in OP as other than something like ...

Possibly merchfood and probably not likely to get very high bids, but some folks collect those. If you want to bother selling it, list it for bids in a Low End thread and see who's interested. Set a reserve at whatever limit strikes you not worth the trouble selling anything at all.

Cheers & GL!

So, right off the bat it gets a 35e bid.. Really good PC's guys xD

sun strike · Mar 20, 2012, 09:15 AM // 09:15

yeh probably because that guy is probably his friend trying to fake bid.

the fact he posted in this thread says enough.

Gabs88 · Mar 20, 2012, 09:43 AM // 09:43

Didnt catch that, he better pay up now though. Or it's deliberately ruining someone elses auction.
