golvern fullplate-- 10x, hcp, 26 .lbs

[HLS2k6]

Selling some "matte black veniom-laced golvern plate."

10 enchants, 26 pounds and heavily crit padded.

Will consider cash or coin offers via PM, please.

35m or so.

Cash sales.

It used to be 20 bucks a million. Way different world now.

True, but the fluxiating silver's market doesn't really effect an item's worth. You either pay for it with double the amount of silvers, or the same dollar value. One could make the argument that the game is dying out, but when CCF sells out in less than what? 15 minutes for three runs straight, it is pretty plain to see people are willing to shell out money for a chance at power.

[Lambent]

no, just means most of us that are left still have the cash to do that kinda shit.

People that are willing to spend $1000 on a text-based game need a fucking reality check. It's a fucking video game. I'm all for buying a few silvers here and there so you can afford some basic items but for fuck's sake... isn't there something better you could do with that $1000? Like, I dunno, buy a razor, shave, pay your bills, etc? If you're rolling in the dough and $1000 is pocket change then more power to you but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the majority of GS players are addicted like crack heads and willing to do anything to get their fix.

[Donquix]

It's more than i'd spend, but if you have faith the market will be around, worse comes to worse (or when you move on) you can resell it, so it's more like renting or putting a deposit down.

Assuming...

I can't comment on the price, but I can comment on the website. GSauctions is 100% reliable, in as much as any gemstone sale can be. I've never heard anyone claim that they were mislead about what they bought, or outright robbed. The only complaints I hear about the site is their prices. That being said, the owners of the site are willing to haggle on nearly all of their items. If you're curious about an item, I would suggest e-mailing or IMing them. They're good people.

As for the armor itself, what profession are you? I happen to value padding quite a bit, and masterful level padding and above is quite difficult to get in any set of armor. GoS padding will stack with it, possibly bumping it up into an even higher bracket. As sets of plate goes, I imagine this suit would be rated in the top 10 in the game. Do you wear outside spells? If not, 5x isn't terribly high for enchant, and flaring weapons can one-shot you on a 101 endroll regardless of your padding. I'm not saying a suit of 7x-10x plate armor would be automatically better if you suffer from DS issues, but it may be a better bang for your buck. Weight is as low as you can go short of very old sets that were lightened heavily before any sort of standard was in place, so definitely nice there. If you've the cash/coins, and can haggle him down a bit (The armor has been there for a while), I would say grab it. It is a pretty godly set of armor.

This golvern suit isn't all that special to be honest. HCP can be added by anyone. The 10x is something, but it is still possible to create 10x, albeit difficult. The weight may also be lower than you could expect to create.

The 200m suggestion is high IMO, I would still value the golvern set at 100m.

If I had a choice between 10x HCP or 5x MCP.... the MCP wins. (Especially since it's cheaper.)

[Donquix]

200m definitely seems high for this set, but overall i do think the 10x and HCP is better than the 5x and MCP, unless you are really really really concerned about maneuver attacks (from a warrior's standpoint, imo)

You aren't going to be taking many big crits to begin with, and the extra 25 defense, as fallen mentioned, will save you from being nailed by flaring weapons or hit to begin with.

But, the MCP set would be pretty amazing for things with nasty maneuver attacks or the crazy weighted weapons.

They're both damn amazing sets of armor :)

[HLS2k6]

No one jumped on my $1,400.00 buyout offer, and I'm not the sort to just sit here for 3 weeks waiting to make a bit extra.

I'll set a minimum bid of 100M or $800.00, which seems to be very fair based on even the most conservative estimates in this thread. I'll do a once, twice, sold thing, with updates on a nightly basis.

I'm not really interested much in trades, as I basically have everything I'll ever need. Thanks.

I'd have to strongly disagree with this statement. There are a lot of plate armors out there that blow this away. It is good armor no doubt and in the top 100 since it is 10X, but the padding is meh and the weight is meh when you are talking about the best armors in the game.

Ah ok...yea that armor would be in the top 25 for sure. There are quite a bit of nice plate armors that are well known...and an equal amount that are dusty that haven't been seen in ages...and yet more that nobody even knows exist.

That's the only reason I quoted it at 100m, there seems to be more nice plate than any other armor type.

Why is that?

[landy]

As far as armor goes, warriors need it the most of any class for their style of combat. Since most warriors train for plate, a high end set becomes a near to post cap necessity.

[Durgrimst]

Note to self: Make friends with Durg.

HEH, most of my friends in this game have way more uber gear and coin than I do, I just happen to be in need of armor..

Also, I have owned the set of plate that GSAuctions has 2 different times and sold it to them both times after I was done with it. The armor is amazing, but I just have a thing about wanting my gear to be 10x.

[Lucos]

Same goes for most rogues and of course paladins. Plate armor has too many bennies to the point it is usually an RP choice to not wear it at near cap.

Which is a shame, as it would be nice if there were strong alternatives that would see chain getting more use. Casting rogues aside, too many people end up in the same AsG.

Some gleaming rolaren plate armor 6x exceptionally crit padded plate

Some dark invar plate armor Masterfully damage padded full plate. 60-65 lbs. 74/680

Put quite a lot of work into this plate.

I bought it out of Wadsworth's shop when he closed his account and wasn't coming back to reclaim stuff, was 5x damage padded for 75m.

Had the padding removed at an event.

Enchanted it to 6x with my mage.

Lightened a bunch of times, think its max now.

At CCF bought one of the raffle spots for vhcp for 50m or so.

Spiked.

Definitely some decent armor

The way armor is designed, at least for squares, yah, there is a bunch of very high end plate out there thats been worked on over the years. Even with the armor verb, and yes, I know a bunch of rogues experimenting in robes and lighter armors.

Chain class armors by way of compare, isn't too many, its a transitional step for most people who can wear plate. Best suit i know of (own, but sold just gotta hook up with the guy is the 8x mcp set)...

Brig and doubles both have a fair share of good ones. Several sets of 9x icp (superb now??) brigs and doubles exist.

Partials of any class are the hardest to find with padding higher than heavy because for too many years, partials had a major bug and simply wasn't worth using. Been fixed, but that was long after that padding merchants and enchanters became rarer than the dodo. And most of those now with hcp came from the Premium Points system.

Also, people who are willing to spend $500 on a golf club need a reality check. It is a fucking golf club, you're an amateur who golfs 8 times a summer while drinking beer, you don't need to spend so much on your hobby.

And those fucking fishermen, with their boats and their rods and their tackle and their coolers full of beer. Who the fuck do they think they are? Spending so much on a hobby.

And the hunters, dropping a grand for a tricked out AR 15, where do they get off? All you need to kill a deer is a cheapass shotgun with buckshot, who the fuck do they think they are?

And the cyclists, wtf, all you need is a 10 speed, but they go buying fancy ass carbon fiber mammajamma bikes for 8 grand.

Can you tell me 10 or even 20 sets of plate out there, that are better then this?

I don't merchant that much since I tend to acquire the best I can for Lucos and then stop looking, but being friends with Brian and Paul, I see the shit they sell and trade and it is crazy stuff.

But placing a set of armor in the top 10, 25, 50, whatever can depend on different views. 10X enchant is nice, but there are other factors that some rate higher. A set of plate with self-mana spell is much more desirable than a few extra enchants. HCP is common with PP nowadays, so anything higher than that can override the desire to have max enchants. Me personally, I value the weight of the armor for encumberance issues as very desirable.

Lucos wears 6X ECP 20 pound rolaren full plate, which I personally think is better.

There are at least a dozen MCP sets with mid to high level enchants that have some major lightening done on them that float around.

There is the red armor.

Several sets of self-mana sets.

There is even Kerl's set that adds a sick amount to your TD.

So, while the armor this thread is selling is some serious nice shit, it is not in the top 10 plate class armors out there.

[Lucos]

Some gleaming rolaren plate armor 6x exceptionally crit padded plate

Lucos wears this set of armor. You can update your records to reflect the weight is a very respectable 20 pounds.

[Lord Orbstar]

[Lucos]

that is nice stuff for a square with good redux. damage padding is nice

Ya, it is good warrior armor. Since most rogues at cap have spells, as well as all paladins, I personally feel that crit padding is what they need and want, but it is some good stuff for a warrior just getting into plate and using until they find that set that really kicks ass. Or if they can get it worked on with special services, it has the potential to end up as an uber set...with enough time, money and luck.

You can always make your armor via the same hard road you made your weapon!

I was hoping my plate would be in the top 50. I'm not so sure with all the insane padding flying around. 8x, 9lbs, spiked, very lightning resistant, disintegration flares, moderate slash vulnerable.

Gotta weigh the pros and Cons here Matt. Do you take teh easy way out and spend a good chunk of cash for nice armor, but pretty much NEVER need armor again for Durg...Or do you save yourself the cash, and just invest alot of time into the armor you currently have and get it worked on over time...Keep in mind, EG is coming up as well.

That's easy to find now with PPs

hah. yeah i think i overpaid for that because i was bored in a kuwaiti starbucks.

I'll be selling it off, but probably not for a few months.

[Donquix]

Eh, you paid a good price for it. It sold a week or two earlier for 20m, that was a flat price sale from someone liquidating (i can't believe i didn't buy it then..blargh) and some similar sets sold for about the same price. wraith had a nearly identical set for 30m i think, which was a bit too high i think (not sure what he got for it)

I'm kind of glad i didn't win it...it would always be under an armor concealer on me and it really was some gorgeous looking armor, deserves to be shown off. Grats on the new set, upgrade :)

People that are willing to spend $1000 on a text-based game need a fucking reality check. It's a fucking video game. I'm all for buying a few silvers here and there so you can afford some basic items but for fuck's sake... isn't there something better you could do with that $1000? Like, I dunno, buy a razor, shave, pay your bills, etc? If you're rolling in the dough and $1000 is pocket change then more power to you but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the majority of GS players are addicted like crack heads and willing to do anything to get their fix.

or we have real jobs and not paper routes

Well, I'm a software engineer, so if that's not a "real" job I don't know what is.

[Androidpk]

You really have to consider the player base. Some of the people still playing I'm sure were around when the monthly bill for the pay per hour internet service was in the thousands per month.

[Sam]

Also I haven't really played much over the last 10 years, so I saved at least $10,000 in simu bills.. Now I need to make up for the lost time!

[Menos]

There is also a set of 5x ICP full plate, and a set of 9x MCP full plate.

>knock armor
You knock upon a full suit of golvern plate armor.

26 pounds as well. I would show the assess, if I was still a warrior.

You play golf at all? Or have any other hobby where you spend money? 1000 isn't that much in the scheme of entertainment dollars for adults. Shit if I added up the price I paid for my clubs, shoes, balls, etc. then factored in green fees, booze (required), cigars (required) I'm sure it would easily out pace a GS subscription + a few "large" cash purchases.

Shit if I added up my rifles, reloading equipment, ammo, cases, safes, scopes, custom trigger groups, etc. etc. etc. it would make a 10 year GS subscription + cash purchases look like a drop in the bucket.

But that's crazy talk how dare I compare entertainment to entertainment without having tunnel vision. You can argue that one is just text and the other is something you can actually hold. Great. It's still just shit you do for fun.

And until recently the GS purchases didn't depreciate like everything else =P.

There is even Kerl's set that adds a sick amount to your TD.


I've always thought this set of armour was totally underrated. I remember, oh 6 or 7 years ago I was thinking of trying to do a warrior with a bunch of TD enhancing items, someone said "Talk to Kerl". I did, and quickly realized that he had all the good stuff already and wasn't interested in selling :)

[GSJuergen]

I am guessing the armor sold?

[Delias]

Closer to 30 a mil when I first saw coins for sale...

I saw Kerl's TD in the Solhaven invasion and it was 447 which is pretty good for a warrior. Not sure what spells if any he had up.

The plate has served me well:

Some embossed krodera full plate. It's 4x/5x with some implosion resistance (I forget how much) and weighs about 37 pounds.

The full plate has been polished to a high sheen, and powerful runes of warding are engraved across the breast-plate. Their contorted shapes twist around each other in a serpentine dance, radiating outward from a central iconic figure.

Add in the shield: A spiked krodera kite shield emblazoned with a crossed sword and hammer, 5x/4x, and getting warded during normal hunting of like aged critters becomes a little less likely.

Kerl

9x in TD and redux....sheesh.

Kerl's done well...

Yeah it was pretty darn sick during the Solhaven invasion, his TD was ridiculously high for a warrior.

[Belnia]

20% implosion resistance, with a 10% disruption vulnerability.

[Drew]

20% implosion resistance, with a 10% disruption vulnerability.

What has this?

[Archigeek]

20% implosion resistance, with a 10% disruption vulnerability.

Yeah that's probably right. I try not to advertize my vulnerabilities, but that sounds right.

Comes in handy in the rift especially, as well as vs. the implosion flares that some of the invasion critters had. With the high TD they can't often hit me with the disruption, and in exchange I get help vs the spell where they don't need to overcome the TD.

As for the TD when I was in Solhaven... I wasn't even using the shield. Didn't want to risk losing it. Toys go a long way though, especially in invasions, and spell-ups are readily available too. And unlike most normal high level hunting areas, the spells stick, so it's a free for all.

Kerl

[Belnia]

I think only Kerl and I chose the implosion resistance when it was offered at EG'07. Mine went on a suit of +35 HCP brig.

[WRoss]

MADE YOU LOOK!

Heh, just wanted to say thanks for bumping this I hadn't seen it. Having just come back to GS after about 5 or 6 years it was fun to read through about all the nice plate sets. I used to own the platinum spiked aug breastplate a long time ago. Fun set of armor.
