an elegant copper stickpin - ranged/stamina enhancive

[War Angel]

Found this SOLO hunting, so take heart non-MA'ers/group hunters. :)

an elegant copper stickpin CB: 2 mill - bubbauno
pinworn, less than 2 lbs.
It provides a bonus of 2 to Ranged Weapons Bonus.
It provides a bonus of 3 to Stamina Recovery.
Blank imbeddable.
The stickpin looks to have more than your average giantman could count charges remaining.

Highest bid at 9:30pm EST Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 will win it. (TODAY!)
I will be available then to deliver to the winning bidder in the Landing, Icemule, Solhaven or FWI at that time, if needed/wanted.
Please post bid's under this topic, PM'd bids will not be honored.
Good luck!

NOTE: I will be available at 9:45 pm to deliver the item, as I have to run an errand. I cannot respond to any more PMs regarding the auction, as I will not be home. I will check to see who has the highest bid closest to 9:30 pm EST. That person will win. (Think eBay)
Thanks

I'm stunned that it's supposedly worth that much.

[CrystalTears]

It's not, but Gan and Tsin have to screw it up for everybody. :P

Pinworn +2 AS for ranged users. I'd say it's worth around there.

[Renian]

...It's +2 goddamn AS! No it isn't!

It's probably more it's pinworn, gives that AS, AND you can stick haste in it.

It's probably more it's pinworn, gives that AS, AND you can stick haste in it.

I'm holding off until either I find a better Ranged Weapons Bonus enhancing item or a dexterity enhancing item. +2 Bonus isn't that big enough for me, given the fact I use a crossbow to hunt and so get an extra +30 AS as it is from it.

I dont need it that bad.

I'm out.

Given the amount people will pay for an extra 5 DS for that enchant, DB items especially.

[Renian]

First of all, 5.
Second of all, DS. 5 DS can mean the difference in OTF between a scout or some other random bs hitting you for one and then flaring a crystal-edged weapon on your ass, killing you instantly.

But I just want the staminaaaaaa!!! Can't you like, split it up or something?

Generic type messaging, I know, but the songs:

You sing:

"Stickpin you are elegant indeed
But your purpose I cannot see"


Roundtime: 8 sec.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the copper stickpin in your hand, and you learn something about it...

You sense a faint aura of magic around the copper stickpin. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the stickpin is to cast a spell or perform some magical purpose. Also, it seems to have some sort of enhancive properties.

R>
You feel at full magical power again.

You sing:

"Stickpin I do need to know
Magic inside let it show"


Roundtime: 7 sec.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the copper stickpin in your hand...

From the rapid vibrations of the copper stickpin, you determine it has no spell within it now, but could be imbedded with one, in the proper hands.
The stickpin resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus to Stamina Recovery.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 6 times.
It provides a bonus to Ranged Weapons Bonus.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 3 times.
You think that you could probably find out something more about the stickpin's enhancive properties if you tried.

You sing:

"Stickpin you have shared a lot
Special ability, have you got?"


Roundtime: 8 sec.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the copper stickpin in your hand...

The magical strength of this item is strong. It could probably handle the imbedding of an entirely new spell, if handled with care.

The stickpin resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus of 3 to Stamina Recovery.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 6 times.

Hopefully that helps anyone wondering. :)

Too slow.. ended at 9:30

[Renian]

I doubt he'll pass up the 3m.

[bubbauno]

I asked him earlier he said he was going to be strict about the deadline.. Why do you think I waited til the last minute?

[Lucas]

The reason why this thing is so valuable is the stamina recovery + pin worn. Nothing else.

My warrior needs stamina by the tons even after the changes, I get like 5 of these things then I'm recovering an extra +15 stamina per pulse thats a crap ton, plus they are pin worn so I can in theory get like 20 of these things and have +60 stamina recovery (unless there is a cap on these things.)
