10x DB an old leather belt

[Soulpieced]

Current bid is $2500 to Private Bidder X1.

Cash/Paypal gift preferred, might consider silvers.

2 lbs.

You put an old leather belt around your waist.

You sing:

"Belt in my hands I see
Reveal thy magic that hold ye"


Roundtime: 7 sec.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the old leather belt in your hand...

It has a bonus of +50 from a normal belt, and the way it vibrates in tune with your voice tells you that it serves some type of defensive purpose, different from that of normal armor.

You sing:

"Belt that I do see
Show your ability to me"


Roundtime: 6 sec.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the old leather belt in your hand...

The magical harmonics reveal that the old leather belt has a special ability to protect the wearer.

Where do DB items normally come from? They seem so absurdly rare . . . are they all just incredibly old?

[Originate]

incredibly old, except the few low enchant items that came out of Droughtman's.

[Ardwen]

the high enchant ones are all basically all from at or near the ice age, theres a lot of 1 or 2x newer ones

[Kastrel]

Are they further enchantable in any way?

[SHAFT]

That's crazy

[Androidpk]

Are they further enchantable in any way?

It's already at 10x.

[msconstrew]

Are they further enchantable in any way?

The old ICE ones are, in theory, but who'd take the chance? I don't know about the newly-released ones from DM. This one is not since it's already 10x.

[Ardwen]

No DB is enchantable under the current system except perhaps by very rare merchants

[Kastrel]

It's already at 10x.

I wasn't asking about this one. Say, were you to get your hands on one of the 1x/2x newer ones . . .

[Suppressed Poet]

Is Brielus the private bidder?

[Daiyon]

LOLBRIELUS.

[Soulpieced]

Unfortunately, it does not appear to be Brielus.

[crb]

all the cool kids have 10x db. Buy this and you can sit at our table in the cafeteria.

[Jarvan]

Can I sit there if I wear some 10x db boots?

[neimanz1]

Only if it's the full +50. you would be ridiculed if you have odd enchant ones

[Ardwen]

And there went the margin on any possible buy and trading of the belt, unless someone is is going to massively undervalue what you are trading for,

[Methais]

Daaaamn I thought 10x DB stuff went for like 100-125m. Is this one extra expensive because it's a belt or something?

Or is it because of Obama?

[Buckwheet]

20-25m per enchant is pretty common now for anything DB. Being a belt this is more useful than a cloak I suppose as you get a useful storage slot back. Not sure that it commands a 100m higher price tag for being able to use a cloak, but I have seen crazier things when someone really wants something.

[crb]

Might just be straight up inflation.

Theoretically, a non-cloak worn should not command so much, because the price of a pin worn VLA container is only around 10m. Wearing a cloak with a pin worn DB would be functionally equivalent to wearing a cloak DB with a pin worn VLA.

[Fallen]

You have to also take into account the rarely of the item, on top of the fact that db items rarely come up for open auction.

[Androidpk]

Dolce & Gabbana belts are some of the best made.

[nocturnix]

This current bid just makes me sad. I think I will go lay down now. face first.

Someone doesn't have 2500 dollars laying around.

The cloaks are mostly from one item as I remember, I think they were "frost giant skin cloak" or something like that. Basically they were marked wrong and able to be enchanted. These days if that kind of mistake happened they'd come and fix the cloak or offer to refund the 20k you spent on it.

Yeah there were some of those cloaks that went out. I remember Lord Cerulean had one and since back in the day he was one of the best enchanters, his was a cool 10x.

Actually, if you think about GS customer service, I am surprised someone hasn't decided to go back and correct that mistake now.

GM- "Oh, btw, we had to fix your cloak, it wasn't supposed to be enchantable."

Enraged PC - "What?!?"

GM - "yeah, it's now just a cloak, BUT it does hold VLA now. Here is a free 500 fame for the trouble, have a nice day."

Kinda makes me wish I'd waited like 5 or 6 more years to clean out my account! Before I started selling out I think I had 2 or 3 10x DBs in all. Pretty sure I had 2 since Tayvin and Mytmo both wore them.

[crb]

inflation has really gone crazy since droughtman started running. Every round of that put at least 30m silvers into circulation - not counting any betting silvers.

Not counting outliers the price of 10x DB items has been absolutely stable in dollar terms since 2004.

[Ardwen]

Stable? I recently sold a 5x cloak for more then what a 10x cloak was worth in 2004. That hardly seems stable

[Drew]

In dollars or silver?

[Ardwen]

Dollars, actually was about 120 more then my 10x cost me in 07 or so

[Drew]

Interesting. Lesser enchant DBs have always carried a dollar premium per enchant but that seems a lot, but all my data (I don't have any data from the past year) shows 10x DB cloaks selling within a 300 dollar bracket since '04. Looking at these bids and what you've told me, maybe players have really been turned on to the value of DB items or their just aren't enough moving to meet demand.

Sounds like Bernanke.

[Androidpk]

The only solution is to print more DBs.

[sentral]
