I was running the buried treasure/tresure chest/do not touches in NF today and got this conjuring staff (see pic) and was wondering if anyone else had seen a merch vale for an item this high? Post your highest value items as well!
The item was value at 616g prior to adding the improved sale value inscription - now its at 689

Lockpick isn't a gold item though.

That is highest I have ever seen, one of my guildies had a 427g or some thing like that a while back, but never anything as high as +600.

Dang, I farm fairly often, and I've never seen gold item that got me more than 500g; the highest I think I've seen is probably 488g or something like that. That staff sucks too; interesting.

My highest is 512g but the majority I have only goes for little more than 300-350g.

I got a few in the low 500s but usually it is in the high 300 to 400s range.

Those Nightfall free treasures are the source for exceptionally high merch values, those drops don't follow the standard item generation rules, a higher, above the max base item level may be the cause. Inspired by this thread I just did a rerun of some of those treasures, all were purples but one has a merch value of 258g - higher than regular lv24 purps can drop with (they don't go above 230g). I believe NF treasures should be able drop a purp with value above 300g.

Now that Icy Hand Axe is more interesting than those NF treasure drops, I believe it must have dropped from an unusual source like an unlocked chest.

Get a perfect "Show me the Money" inscription for it too, to make it even higher You used a +73g one, I know +74g are fairly common, but haven't seen a +75 yet. No idea what's the max, I haven't been paying enough attention to that.
