Hi everyone....

Im trying to get a PC on this item, I heard the value just skyrocketted.... but Im not sure if they are completely removed from the game or what the situation is.

Anyways Im going off memory so I may not have everything exact. Ill post a picture later today if that makes a huge difference. I assume the -50hp is the real reason why this is worth a lot of money...

Grim Cesta
Energy +6 (req 5 Soul Reaping)
HP -50
Energy + 3 (while enchanted)
Energy + 3 (while hexed)
Energy + 5 (while health < 40 or 50%) can't recall

This may not be completely exact... but Im just looking for a round about number... Ill post a pic later and if its worth what I see some of them going for Ill post an auction I guess Not sure if the SR makes a difference or not although I know there are a lot of 55 Necros' going around. And even Monks would still get the -50 hp... but again Im not good with these kind of items.

I think the necro -50 item didn't get nerfed, and they're going for 5-6k.
The healing req is the one that got nerfed. Someone correct me if I'm gonna be wrong twice in one day... >.>

ah really?? Thats very sad if thats the case.

I know the quest reward was taken out of the game completely so I didn't think it would make a difference so much on the req (assuming they were BOTH pulled out).

Of course if you could still get the Necro ones then this wouldn't be worth anything...

Any other opinions please? And thanks for the reply

you mean the normal one which requires Blood magic? (you've posted SR req)

There are likely two main causes for the rumors:

The conditions to make this quest available are not very straight forward. Thus if people arrive in Ascalon City and expect to find this quest immediately, they would be mislead into thinking the quest has been nerfed. Additionally, the quest reward summary when accepting the quest does not show the full stats of the reward, especially the "-50 health" detail, misleading people into thinking the -50 health focus quest reward has been removed from the quest.
Because the -50 health plays a very vital role in 55 Monking, there are people simply creating the rumors to increase the price so they can make a bigger profit

Sorry for having no more real input here... But I just realised the healing grim cesta shouldn't have been healing req at all, since it's a necro offhand... Maybe it was buggy... The healing req give 55 more energy hench the outrageous cost... I'm trying to find the quest now to clarify.

The healing one isnt pricey due to the extra energy, its due to the fact it is rare and no longer available.

Ah thanks Danger Sam, I didn't realize that.

And actually I did go to the normal place where the q usually is and it wasn't there. So I did think it was removed....

Also, Im positive the Req is Soul Reaping for the one I have and not Blood (But I believe you are right the normal, older one has blood magic)

I think Im just confused... what actually got removed from the game? Or was it anything?? Is the healing one the "rare" one?

Thanks for helping clear this up..

I believe you would have to complete the first mission "Great Northern Wall" to activate Symon giving out the quest. He usually gives that -50 cesta req 5 blood, and an earth scroll either -20 hp or -5 energy. I think. Have a nice day.

Though there will be less people getting that quest now simply the quest is only open to prophesis characters, and not every character is made there any more.
