A few questions.

I'll start with the one thats bothering me first. How come, some collectors have BLUE items, (almost always foci) that are BETTER than some of these gold and green items I've seen....And I can get them for like 1k (buying components from players) or less, or just farm them myself.

However if Iwant to buy a gold or green from a player, I can expect to pay 5k and way way up? Are people that stupid? Example....

Item 1:
Jeweled Chakram, Energy +12 (req. 9 Inspiration Magic)
Improves Casting speed using Inspiration Magic skills (Chance: 20%)
Improves skill recharge using Inspiration Magic skills (Chance: 20%)
From a collector in Mineral Springs, for FIVE ALPINE SEEDS.

And now....

Item 2:
Can't remember the name, but its a green chalice and its stats are...
Energy +12 (req. 9 Inspiration magic)
Inspiration magic +1 (20% chance using skills)
Improves casting speed using inspiration magic skills (Chance: 20%)

Now, unless there is something I don't know about, imho item one is clearly the better item, and its so easy to get. But I don't even want to know what people would charge for item 2. Just because its green? No.....

Another example was this storm bow, I can't remember if it was gold or green, it wasn't a crappy bow at all. It was like 15-28,(req 10 mark) dmg+ 15% hp above 50%, armor pene 10% (9% chance) hp+30, and the guy was selling it for 1 millionpp, I'm serious. WTF I can buy the same bow without the hp +30 for like 50k at most, and then spend 30k on a hp +30 item and BAM...WTF 1 million PP???? What is wrong with people???? Is it because of the graphic?

----------------------------------------------

Anyways enough with that, now my second question, and I'll make this one quick. I'm going to make a W/Me build that is designed for only one purpose...
Single out enemy casters and shut them down/kill them. Now I know there are builds out there for this, but Iwant to make my own. My question is, which spell line is better for owning a caster, domination or inspiration? I know alot of people are gonna say domination, but the costs and recast times are high, and ...I dunno.

Anyhow thanks

bragging rights. pure bragging.
gold items are not available by collectors, therefor there is a sense of exclusiveness if you do get that max damage perfect modded one.
as for the stormbow: that is silly.
buy then a stormbow wihtout the mods, and buy the mods sepeerately. I doubt he would have found a buyer.

Some people will pay high prices for an item because it is rare, or looks "kewl". Personally, max damage with good mods is all that matters to me. Want I can't use gets passed on the guild members or sold to merchant.

You know I use logic and fair judgement when it comes to selling items in this game...and it has screwed me. I was trying to sell an Staff wrap of ench (+20% longer), and after about 10 tries of trying to sell it (asking for offer), I assumed it wasnt all that great and sold it to a vendor........

Now I find out its worth 100k. ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND GOLD?????????? *heart attack* This is absolutely nuts.
