Closed: Factions Caster Gear: Voltaic Wands, Paper Lantern, Fire Staffs, Holy Rod

Dec. 18 - I guess I'll close this. Thank you for the help guys!
The only thing I sold so far was the r10 20/10 Canthan Fire Staff. I sold it and an r10 +5 Jade Axe together for 40k.

Hi again,

If anyone is willing and able, I (and the various interested parties for each of the following) would really appreciate some PC help on the following inherent caster stuff from Factions.

• noninsc. r10 Air Voltaic Wand, +5^50 / 20% HCT Air
• noninsc. r10 ES Voltaic Wand (fire dmg.,) +5 under 50 / 20% HSR Earth
• noninsc. r11 Holy Rod, 15/-1 / 9% HSR all (won't dye at all)
• r12 Paper Lantern, +29 / ar+9 wH
• noninsc. r10 Canthan-skin Fire Staff, 20/10
• noninsc. r11 Canthan-skin Fire Staff, 20/10

Any ideas on things like fair market values, reserves, buyouts, relative likelihood of sparking bid wars, etc.? (I don't mind detailed replies with tons of context, not at all!)

I don't mind if you would rather PM me your guess instead of posting it. In that case, I will respect your wish to remain anonymous. However, I will ask and will really appreciate it if you give me your permission to paraphrase your answer(s) here. It might help folks reading this now or in the future, too!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Luny

@ Luke D

Thanks for the reply and the history! Good point about the possibly upcoming Ele buff, true.

@ superraptors

Thank you, too! I'm amazed at the 20/10 inherent staff market's shift these days; those things seem to have come down in price a lot from what I remember a year or two ago. Seriously, though, thanks for the help! I've not been watching the inherent staff market for a while now, so I'm still trying to get the hang of it.

Update - Dec. 15, in game ...

I sold the r10 20/10 Canthan Fire Staff along with an r10 +5 Jade Axe for 40k total. (The buyer said it was 20k ea., but 20k was far more than I expected for an r10 +5 Jade Axe. The total was close enough to the sum of the rough reserves I'd had in mind for each weapon, so I did not argue.

Hi Luny,

I've bought several non-insc Voltaic Wands here on Guru. Although most were bought a year or so ago (maybe a bit more?), I'd say the Air one should net you 50-100k (I personally wouldn't sell below 50, as these seem to be relatively rare with two perfect inherent mods). It's kind of a big range, but it's hard to say with this skin, as it's not extremely wanted by most folks. If that ele buff comes around after Wintersday, probably on the high end of this range.

The Earth one is probably more like 5k. I got my 5^50, 20% Earth Voltaic for that price (although I saw that as an extremely good deal for me), but even for a 5^50 there was no other interest in it for several days before I bid.

If you'd like more details on the stats/prices of the other Voltaics for reference, let me know and I'll PM you. And, as always, wait for more opinions.

voltaic air agreed with 30-50k+ if it was hsr instead of hct you'd probably get abit more.
voltaic energy storage id probably merchant it tbh that 5 under 50 ruins it hard

canthan fire staffs id merch em if you cant sell them for 5-10k+ after a few days

holy rod, definitely merch food imperfect and common skin soz
