RtCF Good Off-The-Shelf Buys

[Fallen]

I'd like to have a thread detailing which items are good to buy off the shelf. Nilandia's lists aren't up yet, but even then, it will be useful to have the "must buys" all in one place. I will add locations and descriptions of items when I get the information.


1. Voln tier 1 armor.
2. Fusion Wepons/Armor
3. Infusable high end scrolls Ex: 60 use Bavery scrolls
4. New-style gold ring holders.
5. Idols!!!! (j/k These are no longer available off the shelf and will likely be nerfed)

.... Keep them coming!

[Ryvicke]

I definitely missed this: what's the deal with the new gold ring holders?

[jafo]

Jeebus, 60 use scrolls? That's worth speccing into arcane symbols for.

[Fallen]

The difference is completely cosmetic, I think. There about 12 different types of messaging available. There is NOT a spelled out sign indicating what messaging each has, but you can go off the item's description to guess what it does. Ledirth(sp) was doing conversions of the old-style to the new ones during the weekend. Just a cool little item to get if you're into that type of thing.

[Fallen]

Jeebus, 60 use scrolls? That's worth speccing into arcane symbols for.

Yep. 112k I think? 6 instances of the spell, all with 10 charges. Infusable with a BIG value. Great items.

[SHAFT]

The idols haven't been nerfed yet?

My understanding is they haven't, but you can't buy any more for the moment.

[Gilralyn]

Anyone find any nice containers?

Highly doubtful, but any bolt scrolls?

[Archigeek]

I'll be shocked if the idols don't get nerfed.

[Fallen]

Highly doubtful, but any bolt scrolls?

I didn't see any, but i'll keep a look out. I imagine you don't use MIU for bolts (IE wands?)

[Fallen]

Anyone find any nice containers?

Nice as in capacity or scripting?

There are some pretty well scripted stuff off the shelf, and in one of the shops with an outfit that plays together, there is a medium amount Over-the-front slot container that's scripted. Not sure if that is unusual.

[Mumblz]

What are the idols?

[The Scholar]

Only when I'm desperate. Fire spirit rods are pretty sweet to fall back on.

[Fallen]

What are the idols?

The idols were an off-the-shelf self-recharging item that provided a lot of great spells (Melgorehn's Aura 913 among them). They had some element of risk in terms of using them when they aren't recharged (as in they would cause you damage), but were available in unlimited quantities. This means that if you bought enough of them, you could essentially always use the spell provided with 0 risk....forever. They had a varying recharge rate of 8-12? hours depending upon the spell they provide.

Basically, unlimited self-rechargers 100-300k a pop. GMs closed the shop down, but not before players bought hundreds ..possibly thousands of them collectively.

The incident is jokingly referred to as Idolgate.

[Rolis]

Haha, Idolgate. Great synopsis of events for those out of the loop.

I think Wyrom said 162 million spent - quick voodoo math = 1,080 idols sold.

I saw a shop selling all VLA for like 25k.

[Sorcasaurus]

very telling, at most you had 100 people buying them for only a short period of time.

that said, if anyone is willing to part with one, let me know please.

VLA over the front? BUY!

Yep, that's about right. I bought about a dozen for myself and friends, fully knowing that it was really too good to be true. I expect a good old fashioned nerfing.

[Zelas]

How can they not nerf these? What spells were available if anyone has a list? Heroism? Champion's Might? Phoen's Strength? lol

[Rolton-Sammich]

[Rayzinbread]

anyone know the stats for the off-the-shelf voln armor? are they still offering tier-1 on existing armor?

[Sorcasaurus]

Wow, I'd have spent a few mil just buying idols, I can see why people grabbed so many.

I'd kill for the mystic focus ones

[Androidpk]

Did they end up doing anything to those idols yet?

[Zaigh]

not yet.

[Whirlin]

Yeah... those idols are ridiculous...

Two quick questions:
1) Is the fusion orbifying guy there?
2) Is Nilanda's site up with an item list?

[Gilralyn]

Fusion shaman is there, and the shop inventory can be viewed at http://gsguide.wikia.com/wiki/Return_to_Coraesine_Field_Shop_Listings

[senorgordoburro]

I have a full set of idols I will sell to someone that makes me a nice enough offer. I bought 2 sets, and I plan on keeping one. PM me if you are interested.

[dmac188]

Anyone notice any shops that sell unique gems?

[Originate]

no unique gems, there is a full list of items on gsguide

[Kitsun]

Shop list out anywhere yet? Or am I old schooling it?

I purchased a harness to put items I was picking up for someone in, I handed them the harness, they took their stuff, handed it back to me and I didn't think anything more of it.

The harness is actually really cool. It is worn over the front and holds a medium amount and when you analyze it, it says it is part of the adventurer collection or something similar to that. I guess the more items from the collection you are wearing, the scripts change. I got it unlocked yesterday at four winds unlocking. It was in Treysen's trapping and there is one mannequin for each of the professions.

It's not a unique item, or anything like the statues but it is a nice medium container with cool scripts if you are looking for a container that is worn in a different location.

[Methais]

Is that going on this weekend? If so would someone mind picking up some fusion armor for me?

[thefarmer]

You want robes? I probably have some older sets if you want to PM me.

[bremerial]

Welcome to the old school club. Haha. That's what I look for every event.

Sounds pretty cool to me and I forgot about FWI unlocking. Another benefit of attending the Lite event I never thought about...utilising the external unlocking services..

I've try to limit the scripted items I get to things that make sense to bremerial as a character. But I still get seduced occasionally by great items with cool scripts, even if the item makes no sense for Bremerial. The amount of storylines I've developed to justify their use would make you chuckle.

Anyway, to keep on track with the theme of this thread, I've gone mad with the ales, mead etc with spells. I don't know if they are cost effective but I certainly like the variety and ease of use. At last, something practical to spend my cash on!

[Catts]

I gotta pay someone to get me this crap

[bremerial]

If your list isn't too long and you know what you want, I'll get it for you. No payment required. It's like 10 mins max out of my life. Don't need paying for item pickups. Just contact me privately, let me know what you want, hand me the cash and hey presto.

I am reasonably trust worthy... Unless I've been drinking ale.. Wait.. That's all the time. Haha.

Seriously, yell if ye need something.

[Nathala Crane]

Did anybody chance to buy this:

a slender rowan runestaff capped with a glowing dusky orb

From "Do It With Flare." The thing is 1.5m on the shelf, so I'm curious as to how it differs from the other staves.

Acuity flares I believe.

[Nathala Crane]

Acuity flares I believe.

Yup! +20 flares, if anyone else wondered.

Edit: 4x, rather. +20 AS/+12 CS

[zazulu]

Yup! +20 flares, if anyone else wondered.
I can confirm that the "Staves of A Cuteness" Runestaves at 1.25 mil are 4x acuity, which yields +20 AS / +12 CS flares.

[Mindiloish]

no 4x acuity would add +20, not 12. its +3cs and +5 as per level of acuity.

[zazulu]

Acuity flares: these are flares which trigger to provide a bonus to the caster's AS/CS for a single attack. The amount is a static attribute of the runestaff which can be further increased as a scalable service. For example, you could have a 4x/2x acuity runestaff, which provides +20 DS in all stances and has a chance to flare +10 AS/+6 CS (the CS value is always 3/5 of the AS). Acuity enchant ranges from 1 to 10x, with 1x being fairly common and 10x be extremely rare.

I stand corrected.
