vs Undead Shields and few others

Thanks for help..

Q8 13^50 FDS and the following:

bump.......................

zodiac staff im pretty sure still comes in resto uninsc but this one should still be able to pump 20-40e with interest maybe more if you are lucky.

edit: ok sorry my bad but my guess would still be the same, zodiacs aren't hot at the moment.

Zod Staves only come as Spawning/Channel/Communing req..
only Pre nerf ones were possible to drop as Resto ones...

Some opinions about the shields pls?!

bump.............

help? ................

What help I can offer on which ones I have any idea about ...


The r8 13^50 FDS (assuming it's gold text) ...
I recently had a gold r8 13^50 Spatha to sell for a friend who does no trading. I asked for PC on it here and decided to use a reserve of 70k. After a while, there was only one interested bidder who won for the 70k reserve. 13% damage on inherent golds is "oldschool" as the game currently will not produce inherent golds with lower than 14% (for a damage mod with a max possible of 15%.) So it's truly oldschool, no longer drops, and pretty rare - yeah ... but I don't think there's huge demand for this particular kind of rarity. If you can figure out the PC for r8 15^50 versions of Spatha and FDS, perhaps you can use the ratio of of my r8 13^50 Spatha experience to figure out the r8 13^50 FDS numbers?


Various 10vUndead Eternal & Shadow Shields ...
In Nov. 2011, I had a couple similar shields to sell ...
- r10 Str Shadow Shield with -2wE & 10vUndead
- r9 Str eternal Shield with -2stance & 10vUndead
I asked for PC help on them here first and then listed them on a sale thread here.

Two different players guessed 20e ish for the Shadow Shield. One player guessed the Eternal Shield was less than 20e because -2stance is not nearly as popular as -2wE (10vX / -2wE combos are popular in situations where X is something folks face a lot of with Shadow Form tank builds. For cases of X = undead, that's popular in FoWSC at least.)

I wound up selling the Shadow Shield for 15e to the only interested buyer I found (someone in game, not a Guru user who posted.) I wound up selling the Eternal Shield for the highest posted offer of 50k.

So, with that specific experience and my overall best-educated-guess for 10vCritter shield market, for yours I would guess ...

r10 Str Eternal Shield, 10v undead / -2wE: I think this one gets higher PC than the identically statted Shadow Shield because the demand to supply ratio for Eternal Shields seems far higher than that of Shadow Shields. I don't really have a feel for how much higher though, sorry.

r9 Str Eternal Shield, 10v undead / +45wE: I'm not positive, but I'm guessing a 10vundead / +45wE combo might come in quite handy in places like FoW or Shards of Orr. The r9 and skin give it even more curb appeal. I'm not sure if the collectibility or the functionality will be the driving factor in the top offer, but I would guess this one is worth at least 20-30e with that perfect hp wE mod. Hopefully you get more opinions, as I'm nervous that I'm telling you way too low a number.

r10 Str Shadow Shield, 10v undead / -2wE: If nothing's changed since last Nov, then I say 15-20e! (That one was easy!)

r10 Str Shadow Shield, +30 / 10v undead: Um, I think it's more collectible than functional. The overall inherent Shadow Shield market has seemed rather oversupplied for what demand there is, thanks to FoWSC. That's still pretty nice, though! A shaky guess of reserve around the 50k mark.

r10 Tact Shield of the Wing, -2stance / 10vFire: If there's much meta using SF tanks with stances in places that do Fire damage (like Kathandrax) then this one could spark a rather frenzied bid war among players wanting this particular dual inscription functionality. Sorry, but I don't know for sure if that's the case or not, and -2stance gear doesn't seem nearly as hot as -2wE gear these days. Were it mine, I wouldn't go into it with a reserve much past 10-20k. But if a bid war took it a lot higher, it wouldn't come as a total shock.

r9 Tact Aegis, -2wE / 10vPiercing: I think that -2wE / 10vX combo is probably going to be quite attractive as a SC or farming shield to SF tanks. The r9 and Tact req. don't hurt! I'd not recommend being in any rush to sell it for less than ... eh, maybe 80kish. (shaky guess at an actual number to tell you.)

r7 str Defender, -2stance / -2wH: I have no idea how to PC things like that, sorry, but I'd recommend checking with both Firefighter Fred and Dimmuborgir Satan here on Guru. That looks like the sort of thing either or both of them would be interested in adding to their collections. (There may well be other collectors, too - I just thought of those two guys when I saw this picture.)

r7 tact Ornate Buckler, +44stance / 10v undead: The max armor with r7 leaves me unqualified to PC it. I'd think that's the strongest selling point though!

r11 str Emblazoned Defender, -5/20 / +30: That combination of max mods may be the most popular pair with inherent shield collectors, so it's certainly far from merchfood. Unfortunately, I have no experience/insight to offer on anything with mods that .... normal.

r10 Chanelling, Earth dmg, Plagueborn Scepter, 10/10:
r11 Communing, Fire dmg, Celestial Scepter, +5^50 / 20hct Communing:
r9 Spawning, Lightning dmg, Zodiac Staff, 20HCT Restoration:

All of the above, sorry but I don't know how to PC such things. You probably know already, but I'll mention for the sake of posterity that neither wand skin comes with inscription slots at all. And Zodiac Staffs come inscribable only in primary attributes (except Mesmer versions which get Inspiration instead of Fast Casting.) Also on the Zodiac Staff, I'll second the assertion that there is no such thing as an inherent staff in any skin with req. Restoration. So r Spawning with 20HCT Restoration is as close as the game gets to "matched 20/20 Restoration." (As I understand it, there are no inherent staffs at all with req. Energy Storage, Fast Casting, Inspiration, Healing, Protection, Soul Reaping, or Restoration.)


There ya go - best guesses. Hopefully it helps and if anything is way off, someone will come along and post a reply correcting me!

Cheers & GL!
