Kephket's Refuge

Kephket's Refuge began selling at around 20k as the "perfect protection monk staff". Then, as more became available, it dropped to around 15k. Now there are roughly ten queen farming groups forming at any given time in any of the Augury Rock American districts. This leads to ridiculously overfarmed queens, and so now the staff is being sold for anywhere from 7k to 5k to anything the seller can get. This is terrible, because I had actually intended to start farming queen once I got sick of S.F. and I should've forseen the price drop, but didn't. Kephket's Refuge has become Kephket's Refuse.

Your thoughts on the overfarming?

People want to get in part of the riches too, just like you. You can't blame them for wanting to earn money. Now multiply that by thousands who have the exact thinking.

gg.

I see. So you want to farm the Queen for the green to get rich quick, but nobody else should be allowed, and should be forced to buy from you?

Go die in a pool of your selfishness, please. Bye.

I think you missed the point somewhere Calamity, I just meant that it sucks that prices dropped so low. Should've made it harder to get to queen. I guess you can interpret it however you want though...

I'm glad I got mine on my first run, and sold it for 25k.

Hope they don't have to nerf the Queen from all this.....I take a distinct pleasure in squashing scarabs. (Ugly little buggers, aren't they?)

I just bought a Kephket for 3k today...happy me
Thank you for overfarming!

Heh, makes lots of buyers happy, I can imagine. As a monk myself, I dislike the scarabs. Chilblains or whatever it is that strips enchantments for damage makes me weep.

capitalism at its finest.

Don't you love the smell of consumerism in the morning?

Buyers: happy
Sellers: "Zomg, please 3k? 2.5? ugh, fine ..."

Sorry buddy, but you missed the boat. I farmed the hell out of old Kepkhet the first night and next week after the drop was introduced. I stopped farming a week and a half ago when I couldn't get more than 10k for it.

Heh, didn't just miss the boat, I never even arrived at the dock!

Go farm Garbok instead - his stuff is the new craze

It's the first green by a wide margin that's accessible to new players.

It's the only green in one of the few green farming locations.

It's a seriously useful weapon for an essential PvE party member.

Of course it will be heavily farmed.

I somehow misread that as "communism" at first. I need some sleep, really.

I like my Yakslapper better though.

I just thought that was the most clever line I've heard all day.

Why does it suck? Because you won't get 25k for it now. If it still sold for 25k, but everyone had one, would you find it worthy of a complaint? Most likely not.

So I don't think I missed the point at all.

I think it sucks because it was overfarmed, and something that was once a luxury (for a week, heh) is now everywhere. Seriously, you need to pull that rod out of your behind and stop bringing everyone down. Not my fault you're having an off night or something. You can act big and tough over the internet all you want for all I care. It has nothing to do with the price to sell it at. I only farmed for it once, and it was boring, and I don't need the money anyways.

No need to be such a pessimist, you're just ruining everyone else's time.

I cant believe that people buy greens when they first come out. Any idiot should know that after a few weeks the price of any new item will drop greatly. I remember when Victo's blade was over 100k. Now you are lucky to get 10k for one.

Thats how the market works. Supply and demand.

No, I believe what he's saying is that its a good thing the item is so readily available, because that means most of the general public can get one. You know, the people who dont have ungodly ammounts of money by grinding to afford 100K plus weapon.

What Greens were supposed to be in the first place. Readily available perfect weapons you didnt need to pay an arm and a leg for.

Glad one of them finally is that.
