1) Lirion Chaos Bow:

>look at crossbow
The bowstring is formed from braided Aishan hair which seems to glow an almost green-black. A strange black ora symbol is mounted on the tiller depicting a black six tentacled star.

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

2) 6900 PPs - Last time I sold PPs, I sold 11400 PPs for 90 million silver/cash equivalent, but that was 4 years ago. No idea the current rate.

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

3) Torkington Mechanical Quiver that adds spells flares. Got it around... 2005? Still hasn't been used. Instructions below.

a dark steel quiver
>look quiver
A series of tiny rivets are set flush into the dark steel surface of the boxy quiver, giving it a solid and simplistic build. A thin hinge parallel to the bottom edge of its front panel allows a wide hatch to swivel open and closed. Subtle slits are raised from its top surface, facing back toward a pair of clips mounted on its rear. The only stray piece on the entire quiver is a single ring, posted in front of the vents.

Torkington says, "Ok, now a small lesson on how to use these."
>
Torkington swiftly opens the hatch on the front of his black steel quiver, the door sliding smoothly along its hinges.
>
Torkington says, "The first thing to do is start with some shafts, either arrow or crossbow bolt will work fine."
>
Torkington removes a bundle of rough mossbark arrow shafts from in his dark spidersilk pack.
>
Torkington taps a bundle of rough mossbark arrow shafts, which is in his right hand.
>
Torkington places his arrow shafts into the chute inside the open hatch on the front of his black steel quiver.
>
Torkington says, "If you wish, you can also add some paint."
>
Torkington removes some royal blue paint from in his dark spidersilk pack.
>
Torkington tilts his royal blue paint side to side, making the light play off it.

Torkington slides his royal blue paint into the compartment fitted into the open hatch on the front of his black steel quiver until it stops with an audible *CLICK*.
>
Torkington swiftly shuts the hatch on the front of his black steel quiver, the door sliding smoothly along its hinges.
>
Torkington says, "Then just close it up."
>
Torkington says, "Now, at this point you can cast certain spells at the quiver, which can be absorbed by the ring on top."
>
Torkington says, "Most elemental and holy spells should be compatible."
>
Torkington removes a tattered scroll from in his dark spidersilk pack.
>
Torkington raises his tattered scroll and gestures.
Sparks begin to fly between the tattered scroll and Torkington's fingers.
With a sudden burst of enthusiasm, the sparks jump into Torkington's hand and he seems to glow with power.
>
Torkington gestures at a matte black steel quiver.
A small ring mounted on the top of the black steel quiver frosts over with the cold, drawing the energy toward its center.
>
Torkington put a tattered scroll in his dark spidersilk pack.
>
Torkington says, "In this case, Major Cold."

Torkington says, "Now, when crank on the quiver is turned, it will grind through and create the arrows, with the power of cold."

As Torkington begins turning the crank on the side of his black steel quiver, you hear the churning of gears followed by a series of grinding and cutting noises. A shrill, high-pitched whistling sound emanates from within as steam rises from a series of vented slits on the top of the quiver. Finally, the sounds begin to fade as the crank rolls through the last bit of resistance.
>
Torkington swiftly opens the hatch on the front of his black steel quiver, the door sliding smoothly along its hinges.
>
Torkington removes a bundle of spiraled royal blue mossbark-shafted arrows from in his black steel quiver.
>
Torkington says, "Here we are."
>
Torkington taps a bundle of spiraled royal blue mossbark-shafted arrows, which is in his right hand.
>
Elundil asks, "Ok, just a question or two. Can we use magic wood for the arrows, that we may produce enchanted arrows? Or are they already enchanted in some way by the machine?"
>
Speaking to Torkington, Ozizalisse asks, "They can make two hundred in total, yes?"
>
Torkington says, "Note that the arrows must stay within proximity of the quivers to keep their magical potency."
>
Torkington nods to Ozizalisse.

Torkington says, "After about two hundred pieces, the mechanisms begin to fail."

Torkington says, "Though I should be able to repair them given the right amount of time and tools."

Rykell quietly says, "So shafts only - not finished arrows. And keep them in the quiver till used.... ."
>
Odysia asks, "Tork two hundred bundles or two hundred individual arrows?"

Torkington says, "Two hundred arrows."

Torkington says, "Though the arrows can be used for as long as you can keep them."

Speaking in broken common, Oravia asks, "And.. how many ya can makes atta time?"
>
Ozizalisse asks, "What about the magic wood question? What sort of level of enchantment do they have inherently?"
>
Ozizalisse rubs her chin thoughtfully.
>
Torkington says, "As big a bundle as you can shove in there..."
>
Torkington says, "Probably about a hundred or so."

Keilani asks, "Is the enchant the normal enchant of the wood?"
>
Elundil asks, "And perhaps you could answer the magic wood question? That is, can we use magic woods or do the arrows have an inherent magic to them?"
>
Elundil smiles at Torkington.
>
Torkington says, "Ah, yes."
>
Torkington says, "To both, actually."

Torkington says, "For instance, the arrows that I just crafted with the quiver have the qualities of mossbark."
>
Torkington says, "Regardless of the magical properties of the material used to create the arrows or bolts, the bundle will always come out magical."
>
Keilani asks, "So if normal wood were to be used, it would be enchanted as well?"

Torkington says, "It would be magical, but it would not be more enchanted than normal wood."
>
Rykell quietly asks, "Each time you use it, you have to recast at the quiver or the spell holds until you "change" it?"
>
Torkington says, "The magic absorbed will stay until a new one is cast."

Elundil asks, "Hrm, what would happen if one were to cast say elemental blade on the quiver, possibly followed by another elemental spell?"
>
Keilani says, "Thank you so much, these quivers are wonderful."
>
Torkington says, "Depending on the nature of the element, it could change or stay the same."
>
Elundil asks, "So elemental blade would not actually enchant the arrows?"

Torkington shakes his head.

As a note, there were 2 types of mech quivers. Some were not permanent

Also, I'd be interested in 4k PPs if we can find out a decent price

Yeah, the limitation is in that wall o' text there. This is one of the quivers that needs to be recharged after 200 arrows.

My quiver is the permanent version of this, and it's awesome. However, using flaring arrows with this would deplete it super quickly, as the arrows explode and do an additional crit cycle per arrow. Only death crits will make the arrows recoverable.

That being said, it works incredibly well getting the quiver blessed and having recoverable, perm blessed arrows creates by the quiver, no flares with the bless though.

Considering the GM behind Torkington is presumably long gone, I imagine a lot of the value of this quiver depends on whether it can still be recharged, and by who.

When I initially picked up the quiver, it was set to off the shelf quality. Retser was able to quickly identify and correct the problem in a matter of a few minutes.

So, the GM expertise is absolutely there to support this script, or fix when it breaks.

Additionally, with the changes to charging, enchanting, and slated changes to fusion, GMs do appear to be increasing the planned services beyond GALD... It all matters on how good you as a player are in merchant hunting... And if you're premium.

However, I personally lost about 50-70 arrows per arena run. Would this quiver produce enough arrows to be exclusively your custom arrow creation? No, likely not. Is it fun as hell, yes. Can you make it worthwhile if you're a premium merchant hunter? Potentially. Will a GM ever swap this to permanent? For the value of my quiver I hope not! But, that's not to say they wouldn't.

They respond enough to player interest that Retser might be willing to pick up the script and go with it. Especially if a number of us ask around it. Although 200 seems like a low amount for modern GS... maybe they could even up it to 500 or something (it still wouldn't make the auction quality amazing by comparison)

apparently, there was an uncommunicated rule that many items are on a rechargeable list that "as long as the gm is willing" and can be done in place of GALD services even.

I'd be willing to purchase 3600 pps

Pp's go for around 7k per, varying a bit depending on the size of the block.

Anyone know what the chaos bow is worth, if they're worth anything at all these days?

They're really neat but mechanically problematic. I think the last one I saw was at 20m with no takers.

I'm pretty sure the last one sold for 8m

It goes from bow to crossbow and you need heavy and light bolts, and arrows.

I always thought that chaos weapons should get an update. Make them attunement weapons (not bound to the character but build up an affinity with it). Like nervestaves, parasite weapons, etc. So a -2x to 10x chaos weapon could bring that randomness down to 5x-10x after a long attunement process.

Thanks for the help, folks. Least now I have a rough baseline for what this stuff's worth. I'll probably get 'em up for sale at some point this week.
