Hi Guys...

I had a Necro Stuff with a +30 Life Upgrade and a +5 Armor Head ...
And I thought that I could probably get off the 30HP Up (the Staff sucked otherwise) ...
So I tried to get it off ... but NO ... I got the +5Armor ...
First I thougt "$%"*?!" ... but then one of my guildmates told me that the +5Armor is worth more ... w00t? ... What? 5Armor worth more than 30HP?
He gave me this link ...

He was right ...

All-Time Armor up is much more effective ...

Many people don't know that , like me 10 minutes ago ...
I asked people at the tombs what they would choose if they had the choice ... 3 in 10 would take the armor up...

What do you think?
It's funny that people pay 100k for hammer +30hp ups and nobody cares about armor.

If I would post a thread in the trade forum that I'd like to sell this Devensive Staff Head for 30k ... haha ... most people would think I'm crazy .


I'd like to know your opinion ...

And what YOU would pay ... that's why I put it in here ...

Demand is what sets price of things ... and by quickly looking at the two mods ... +30 health or +5 armor, the +30 looks more impressive, so the vast majority will simply believe it to be better, no testing required, just blind faith.
This vast majority fighting over the smallish supply bumps the price waaay up.

Meanwhile, the usually superior armor boost just sits, less people want it in general, so there is no way people would pay obscene prices.

*shrug* supply and demand isn't always 'correct'.
