4x whip blade fairly CW

[Bothra]

Pulled this out of a box:

rolaren-edged whip-blade

OHE, fairly crit weighted permanant, 4 lbs.

Thoughts on value?

[Fallen]

I'll give you 50k for it.

People almost universally hate whip-blades, to the point that a merchant offering to fully unlock some nice scripts on hers at CCF was left sitting around begging people to come and consent to buy one on several occasions.

The crit weighting will draw some interest, however. For what it's worth, I'd suggest around 250k as a MB, and see if you can catch someone's interest. Avoid a buyout until you get a feel for any interest (or lack thereof).

Thanks for the feedback.

Why do people hate on the whip blade so much?

[Fallen]

Probably has to do with AvDs, DFs, damage types, and RTs. A similar weapon is likely far superior.

Horrific, mechanically. While I don't quite speak the language of the formula wizards, my understanding is that you can't do much worse in the OHE market. Something about the AvD, DF, ABC, CIA, or IHOP. I just know they're (almost) universally reviled, and therefore have stayed away myself.

I lulled.

I went and whacked on some Kobolds with this thing and was not impressed. Guess I'll stuff it in my locker and wait for the motivation to sell or do something useful with it.

I'd take the 50k offer. Whip blades suck, and "fairly" crit weighted is more of a liability than a plus, since it's such a small amount, and prevents you from doing much else with it. Anyone who pays 250k for it probably doesn't know what it is.

Get old school with it. Throw in a mystery backpack and promise people "contains a critically weighted one handed edged weapon! Hits like a ton of trolls!"

Whip-blades are an RP prop primarily. I know one person who collects them. Congrats though, your whip-blade is better than my Droughtman's prize, which was a 5x whipblade.
