The gold items, with a lot of perfect mods are always the most expensive items

Check out the Auction forum. Currently theres a semi-perfect Serpent Axe selling for over 2million, buyout at 500 ectoplasms. Thats probably the highest I've ever seen something, and definately not worth it in my opinion.

6 million? Holy crap. How would you have that much money to spend? Oh, wait, I forgot. Anyone with that much money either farms 20 hours a day or goes on Ebay for a quick million bucks.

You can make way over 6 million doing stuff other than farming or ebay

if i were to be ever so stupid as to pay even over 100k +ecto or whatever for a weapon, that weapon sure has hell had better kill something in 1-2 f'n hits, i think it's so crazy the prices the people just throw out there, but people are willing to pay it. for what reason, besides just to show off with. makes no sense to me.

hell i know my drago bow, or elswyth vamp bow have the best mods on them. and i know they can take down any warrior with a 1-3or 6 million weapon, before they kill me.

Well that's just the way things work out in the world. I mean people are out there in the real world buying huge, ugly, gas guzzling Hummers, which is 10x more impractical then paying hanus prices for things in a computer game. I'm alll about the greens because they're cheaper versions of weapons with good mods that, for the most part, don't look half bad. Of course on the other hand I'm a crazy 15k armor fiend. It's just all about having tons of options for how to spend your gold on improving your personal gameplay experience.

I remember, months ago, seeing a Crystalline Sword (I believe either req 7 or 8), 15%>50, with I believe sundering and fortitude mods, go for over $500 real USD.

Well the most expensive I have seen is a 12 million dollar purchase of a perfect crystalline. Unfortunately the purchase never went through as the middleman (and supposed friend of buyer) took buyer's ecto/items and laughed as he pocketed them.

Yes this is true, it all played out right here on the forums.

Imagine paying 12 million for the item you've lusted after, only to have your friend pocket your funds and tell you tough luck.

I think its crazy that a spiked axe with 15%^5) req 8 is worth about 35-50k and a dwarven axe with those stats is about 3 million. I think this is petty but i have sort of got used to it.

Not sure where I saw this, but I seem to remember someone talking on this forum of an req 8, 15% unconditional crystalline sword they bought for over 70 mil in gold and items. Dude said he had to borrow from all of his guildmates to cover the cost.

I saw that but chose not to mention it as I highly doubt its validity. The person had to borrow half of it and said he was paying it back bit by bit. Problem is 35 million cannot be paid back from farming and would take months if not years unless he wonts to blow tens of thousands of dollars on ebay.

Nef claimed a friend had a 15% unconditional dwarven but again I doubt its validity.

Please dont throw around rude assumptions when you have only been on these forums for a month or so. The thread in question is ancient and was back when there was a ton of collectors around.

The 15% unconditional dwarven axe wasn't bought, he found it himself back in the Arid Sea days. Lots of nice things popped out of those chests.

In that case, you are right. The buyer was a huge ebayer.

About borrowing from Guild Members, it's not strange at all. Someone bought something from me for 300K, which he al borrowed. Now he payed all that back, and borrowed another 650K to buy more from me. He even payed upfront (he bought Pre-Searing items with Post-Searing gold, and yes, I gave him his items He's even on these forums). So saying people that borrow would never give it back, think again, many people would.

A Plasma Sword is worth nothing, it's a collector's item from Dragon's Gullet. Just like the Fiery Flame Spitter, it sells for insane ammounts every once in a while, which is lame, since both are only worth a couple of lowsy items to the collector.

700 ectos for that 15% unconditional Dwarven Axe is a scam. If it wasn't customized by the owner, it diserves 2000 ecto offers. There's most likely only one 15% unconditional axe, and it's a Dwarven Axe too, where you'd pay ~2 Million for if you'd ever find a 15>50 one again, which has been found like 5 times. And yes, this is the most expensive item in game. Others are:

Crystalline Swords, 15>50, req. 7/8
Dwarven Axe, 15>50, req. 8/9
15% Fiery Flame Spiter (heard it sold for 800 ectos this week, but not too sure if it's true or not)
15% unconditional items, max damae, any req.
-20 Health Axe (I doubt anyone in the world will sell this axe though, I'd pay a couple of 100 ectos for it now right away. Too bad I didn't take te 800K offer when I saw someone selling it in LA)

Can't think of much else. I'd pay pretty much for that 10% unconditional Armor Penatration staff myself (when I last had it, it worked on Flare too iirc) which got nerfed a while back, but I doubt I'll find it.

And getting 20 Million isn't always ebayed, it's very possible.. Stop telling them they're ebayers, since that's just a conclusion you made because you can't get that much money.
