You (Focused to Ursinus) [Merchant]: "I'll give ya twentyfive thousand silver."

Ursinus (Focused) [General]: "It's 8-9 years old.."
You (Focused to Ursinus) [Merchant]: "Really? That's impressive for something that common."
You (Focused to Ursinus) [Merchant]: "You're a fool not to sell it for two million then."

Meh. Supply and demand. If there's a demand for it, and a limited supply it's gonna go for a lot.

I had two veniom-hilted black rolaren long-knives from the first Juggernaut (I think) that were bought and sold for around 2 mil apiece a few years back. Now they're probably the only two left in the game today. If you're looking for something specific, and old, there's little you can do but pay through the nose for it.

Except with the back-scabbard, its a simple alter to just replicate it and get better stats than it had off shelf. I've got a friend that used to love those long-knives and possibly may still be using hers.

Those knives are awesome. They're not knives at all, they're shortswords with acid flares. I built an entire training plan around 'em. The fact that you can't get an alter like that is probably what makes them worth so much.

I suppose in the case of this scabbard you're right. But to pay for an alter scroll is still 1.5-2 mil, so you're really not saving much.

Ugh. I still have it beaten into my head how merchants used to work. The first time I got an alter, I sat in a room with 10 other people for 54 hours straight waiting, because you had absolutely no idea when the merchant would show, and back then they almost always did room order. 54 fricken hours without sleep. I took off school for a day so I could get a damn alter. I was a dumb kid, in retrospect.

....and then I had to walk FIFTEEN miles uphill in the snow in bare feet just to find out that I had to have something made of the same material I wanted to add into the alter, and I had to walk back down and then again back up in the snow. It was horrible.

To be fair, the only one on playershops.com is priced at 2m.

Not saying it's not retardedly overpriced, but his point of reference doesn't help.

I've sold these for 250k before, mostly to people who like reminiscing about a time when Gemstone had 50% fewer rooms and 150% more players

Innocent mistake, he just mixed up 'offers i'd gotten' with 'what I saw it selling for in a store somewhere'. Bit of gemstone dyslexia, it seems to be a catching plague nowadays.

See, I love this.. and yes.. I did sell it today for 1.5m. the bid I got of 2m was pulled back, since the guy spent so much at EG.. So, I guess it's all in the fact of who you sell to.. If you can sell something for 1.5m, or 25k what would you take? In all honestly your bid to me was a joke.. considering the high offers I had gotten.. And next time when you post somethin.. don't be afraid to post your name. I can't tell you what it is, since well I forgot who you were, but I hope I get fame points for you posting my name up on here.. Thanks.. I love it.. Oh, and hey. Have a nice day.. -Ugotfaced-

You're giving yourself way too much credit. He thought to you wanting to buy your item and he found your response hilarious, so he posted it. And no one expects you to "follow every single letter written on this thing". Just don't make stupid accusations about people being afraid when you obviously dunno wtf you're talking about.

That's not an insult. It's a childish attempt to appear tough in front of your peers. Going so far as to call us your peers however is giving you more credit than is due probably, as you've already proven yourself to be beneath the level of even the most unintelligent posters here. But I will give you props, because you've obviously been reading your copies of Internet Tough Guy magazine with close attention to detail.

As far as an insult goes:

Try to focus on things you know about someone based on their words or actions instead of fabricating something, and then gluing it together with a lot of generic internet trash talking childish oral diarrhea. I know it's probably lodged pretty far up there at this point so it might prove difficult, but taking your head out of your anus before hitting the reply button goes pretty far along the way to accomplishing this.

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking.

I'll save you the trouble of your standard reply.

Still waiting for you to tell me what was wrong with my final assessment.

Oh, and in case you feel the need to keep expressing your displeasure, I'm just going to keep giving you this post summing up my feelings on the matter since you ignored it last time, and I don't feel like typing it all out again.


Were my final results incorrect somehow?

All I did in the end was give one plan from me to maximize training points with the input I got from everyone throughout the thread, and give a bit more depth to the two other plans involved. Her original one, and the stat maximization one.

I stated that "If you want to focus on this, this one might work better. If you want to focus on that, that one might work better" et cetera, but didn't even come close to alluding to the fact that my plan would be the be all end all of all stat plans. If she does plan to aim for cap ASAP and worry about extra TPs, then the stat maximization plan is probably for the best, which I noted, but if she plays casually which is the impression that I got, then my plan affords the best amount of training points pre-cap by far, and minimizes stats that are only marginally useful. I like it for that purpose, but as I stated in the other thread, it's really dependent on what she wants to aim for, and her personal preferences.

As far as having a question, well, I'm always going to have those. I've played a Sorcerer, Bard, and Rogue to Legend levels and I don't claim to know absolutely everything about them. I know enough to crunch numbers for them reliably, though. The same is true of Paladins now. It wasn't when I first started trying to help, but as you'll note, in the beginning of Kiora's thread she was looking for a little more depth than she was being given, and no one else seemed to be stepping up at the time. Therefore, I did what I could to help with the disclaimer that I had never played a paladin, but knew enough to crunch numbers for her a bit.

So if you're posting here to tell me that I was wrong for trying to help someone who was fully informed that I was not completely knowledgeable about the subject matter yet, and doing a fairly decent job of it from a strictly informational and depth standpoint, then I'd say you're probably a bit out of line.

Edited to add:

As far as the question I had in this thread about basic mechanics, it didn't in any way apply to anything I was doing for Kiora in her thread. She had given her skill list, and the advice I gave on that was simply reinforcing what someone else had said regarding sticking to a fairly strict 1x or 2x, or 1.5x in some cases regimen. That holds true not only for Paladins, but for pretty much every profession. My question in this thread was solely for the benefit of my own character. Kiora had gone a route where she was taking dodge. I was inquiring as to the viability of possibly not taking it with my character. I didn't advise her one way or the other that far in depth about dodge because I didn't remember the exact mechanics behind it, nor did I know what size shield she preferred to use.
