Weapon Mod And Inscriptions Baseline Pricing

Wow - is this really worth that much? Obviously to the buyer it was - but I mean in general??

It is worth 1k

Copied from the top of the original post:
*******************************************

Everything's been updated with more recent information. What do you guys think?

I've also included descriptions with the inscriptions. I don't know about you, but I can't remember what the difference is between "Sheltered by Faith" and "Faith Is My Shield". ^_^ Do you think it clutters the thread too much? Or is it helpful when you're looking over things?

Please PM me with all questions:Red

*******************************************

So that's that! Let's get this thread goin! ^_^

Like the desc. with the insc. names. Beats having to open a wiki page to check.

Bought 20/20 Sundering (Axe)7K.

Bought
20/20 axe 5k
+30hp Shield 7k
+30hp Sword 7k

Over the last week or two, I've:
bought/sold 15^50 inscripts 2k each on several occasions. seen spamming to sell for 1k (about an hour ago)
sold guided by fate 1k
bought/sold I have the power 2-3k each on several occasions.
bought +5 armor scythe grip 500g
sold +30hp scythe grip 5k
sold -5/20% inscriptions 10k, 11k. got called a scammer for asking for 15k
sold +10 v fire/earth inscripts 3k each
sold +10 v blunt 2k
sold +30 sword 9k
sold +30 axe 5k (x2)
still can't sell my 19% forget me not for 2k for the life of me...

Everything? Can't see any updates except addition of some inscriptions. IMO it should be like this: just an example

Strength and honor inscriptions 1-2k (15% more damage while over 50% health)
Strength and honor 14>50 -worthless (remove it from the list)
Guided by Fate inscriptions 1-2k (while enchanted)
Dance with Death inscriptions 1k (while in stance)
To The Pain inscriptions 1k (-10 armor while attacking)
Brawn Over Brains inscriptions 1k (-5 energy)
Vengeance is Mine inscriptions 1k and hard to sell (20% more while under 50% health)
Don't Think Twice inscriptions 1k and hard to sell (10% chance fast cast for all spells)

No need to be price guru, these ^^ prices are common sense to any decent trader, but still there are people using this thread as baseline and asking 5-6k for 15^50.

I apologize if it sounds rude and by no means i'm saying that my prices are most accurate ever or something like that. Just want to help.

"Updated" prices listed are in most cases nothing like prices you will see on wts in last couple of months.

i have bought or seen multiple people selling items at

any ele bowstring 500-1k
vamp bowstring 1k
furious sword 3-4k
sundering axe 8k
Bow grip fortitude 1.5k-2.5k
bow grip and axe grip of defense i've been unable to sell any even at 500g
dagger grip defense been unable to sell at 1k
shield fortitude +30 8-10k
+29 2k
+45 when enchanted 5k
Apt not att inscrip 8-10k
hale and hearty 1k (bought and sold many at this price and almost every wts of it is at 1k)
guided by fate 500-1k

I will post some more prices if it looks like things are really being updated to more realistic prices because it does seem that there are a few who still look at it as gospel truth. Again not meaning to be harsh, i am sure it's a lot of effort to keep things up to date blah blah blah.

Metal and Gal, I agree entirely. However, I'm basing the OP off of what people are reporting here, because I don't know that my own personal observations are worth anything.

When I wrote prices were updated, I meant that I had gone through the last month or two of posts in the thread, grabbed their information (and sorted through the common sense stuff ^_^), and edited the first page. I'm not touching old prices until someone tells me otherwise.

Speaking of which, I'll review your data and move it to the OP sometime tonight or tomorrow, I think. Thanks for your help!

I've sold several Zealous mods of every type over the last month or so for 3k w/o any question. Same for +30 Hammer grips (sold 3 last night). Otherwise, these last posts by Metalmaster have pretty much been on target from what I've seen in Kamadan & LA American the last few months in buy/sell chat...

Thanks so much for the post, Metal. I've been delving into the Kamadan markets this week, and I think you're fairly right on. In fact, I daresay you were too kind with those "hard to sell" labels!

There is, of course, room for debate on several points. For example, Armor+10 vs Fire Damage seems to be a hot seller at the moment, relatively speaking, and I question whether we shouldn't set the price check a bit higher. And of course, nos amigo El Presidente has noted that Zealous mods may be worth a bit more than your initial outline.

Just the same, I've taken your analysis and moved it to the original post, because even if you were off on a few mods, it's certainly a much better baseline that what we were using, ne?

************************************

Two questions.
1) Do you think it would help if I deleted just about every post in the thread from Metal's backward. Since we're starting with a new baseline, it might make more sense to almost start fresh, eh? Or do you think it really matters?

2) That baseline has a LOT of 1k pricings. I mean, a ton. Because of MarketWatch coding, every single mod has to be listed in the post; but the order of listings can be whatever we want. Do you think I should move mods worth more than 1k to the top of their section for easy reference? Or would that just cause more confusion, and they should be left in the order they're in now?

~ Red

Yeah, definitely i was Tbh we can put these marks on everything that aren't sundering, fortitude, enchanting, furious and zealous. But on the other side you can find desperate buyer and get more than 1k.
Sure thing, more opinions is always better.
Nah, it doesn't matter much imo, i think people usually just read first post.
For me it's fine as it is, but again need more feedback to decide.

sold 20/20 sword hilt - 18k. 08-01-24.

Thanks for the update.

I have the feeling that the trading community really depends on these pricing threads. I could sell +10 versus slashing mods for 6k very easily even a week ago. As buyers notice this price update, they will zealously stick to the new price of "2-3k"

sold

sundering scythe snathe (20/20) - 10k

Sold Shield Handle +30: 8k
Sold Three "I have the Power!" +5e: 2k, 2k, 3k
Sold Axe Grip of Enchanting: 4k
Sold many 19% Enchanting Sword mods: 1k ea (I didn't find it to be a very hard sell)
Sold -5/19% Luck of the Draw: 2k
Sold Zealous sword hilt: 5k
Sold Hale Staff Head: 2k

I disagree with the current Luck of the Draw pricing, my GF easily sold 2 for 15k+ each, and another friend sold hers for 20k.

Sold 2 I have The Power +5 energy 5k np

Just sold an "I have the power" Inscription (+5 Energy) for 5k in Lion's Arch District 1. First Customer. No hesitation.

Sold Apt not Atti 20% for 20k no problems and -5 20% for 22k no problems. The ppl that offered my guru prices were told to shove it.

Sold 20% Axe grip of Enchanting, 4k
Sold 19% Sword Pommel of Enchanting, 1k (sold in seconds)
Sold +30 Sword mod, 8.5k
All in Lion's Arch

sold a -5/20 luck of the draw for 12k had several acceptances within seconds of posting. are we sure these are close prices?

Bought a number of things, for most of them i didn't bargain, for some, i made the offer and it was accepted immediately:

+10 vs slashing : 3k
+10 vs fire : 3k
+10 vs piercing : 3k
+30 hp for shield (6 pieces) : 3k,6k,7k,5k,5k,7k
20/20 for axe : 7k;
+30 hp for axe : 3k
15/-1 for wand : 5k
15/-1 for focus (2 pieces) : 5k,3k

Most from different sellers, all in Kamadan eur eng dis 1.

I wouldn't sell that for less than 20k. This guide is good one most things but about 10 things that I think are rare are WAY under priced. That is one of them. Apt not att is still selling all day for 20k for me also, I'm buying them for 6k from idiots who used this guide and flipping them minutes later and making 15k.

Sold Hale Staff Head +30 2k
Sold "Aptitude not Attitude" 15k
Sold "I have the power!" 6k
Sold "Faith is my Shield" 2.5k
Sold "Strength and Honor" 1.5k

Sold Staff Wrapping of Enchanting 7.5k
Sold another "Aptitude not Attitude" 15k

i sold a focus core of devotion for 5k

Focus core hp +30 5k
Sleep now in the fire +10 7k
vamp spear head 2k

All of these were little to no haggle very fast. Quite a few on the new list are very low from what I saw today.

Sold quite fast maybe i was lucky ? if i look at the prices in guideline

Spear grip of fortitude 7k
I have the power 6k

Sold several I have the power for 5k

I had quite the shopping list today, so I went and hung out in Kamadan/LA AD1, EuroEngD1 and left a post on the WTB forum here, too.

I bought:

• (13) +30 shield handles, mostly 5k ea
  first one for an 8k asking price, second one for 6k in response to 8k asking price. several more offered to me at 5k in response to my wtb spam. rest negotiated to ~5k ea after getting so many offers of 5k
• (4) +30 spear grips, all for about 3k ea
• (3) 20/20 spear heads, 2k, 3k, 4k
• (~6) "I have the power" +5en inscrips, 1.5-2k ea
• (~5) 15^50 strength & honor inscrips, 4 @ 2k ea, 1 @ 3k
• (1) +10 "Riddle of Steel" (vs Slash) inscrip, 3k
• (2) +10 "Not in the Face" (vs Blunt) inscrip, 1k, 2k
• (3) +10 "Riders on the Storm" (vs Light) inscrip, 1k-2k
• (1) +10 "Sleep Now in The Fire" (vs Fire) inscrip, 3k

Overall, the shield handles were the easiest. Maybe 20% of the responses I got to my wtb spam refused 5k. The rest either offered it right off the bat or accepted it easily enough. (I didn't mind civil haggling, but any response akin to "lol @ 5k" just never got an answer back from me.)

I'd say the next easiest to find were the specific +10 ar vs ** inscriptions and the +30 spear grips.

Finding the 20/20 spearheads was tough. I finally paid 4k for the last one just to be done and leave Kamadan.


While watching the trade spam, I noticed a lot of folks looking for "Serenity Now" inscriptions (even though sometimes they didn't know the name.)

Since I was standing around anyway, I bought a Serenity Now that was offered by name for 5k. Then I sold that and a 45wE focus core I had lying around for 20k total to someone looking to buy "... 10% half spell recharge for focus..." Both the guy I bought the inscription from and the guy I sold it to were spamming the trade chat at the same time. Ah, the joys of trading! *sigh*

FWIW!

Cheers, Luny
