[Lord Orbstar]

um, out of respect for your list #2, I will merely say good luck.

[Jarvan]

So you took a weak enhancive runestaff and added some stuff to it.

Should have used a better runestaff.

Just returning the favor.

[Rheisia]

Also- there are 6 rotflare weapons out there, not 5. (not that this fact in any way affects the value of said runestaff)

Few things I'm not interested in:

1. Trades
2. Opinions on the pricing of the item above
3. Comparisons to previous runestaff sales - rot flares output so much damage it's just in a different tier
4. PMs with offers below what is listed above
5. Private bids

Didn't miss it, Just figured I would add to the discussion.

I mean, ~I~ think it's a good idea to take a mediocre weapon and invest tons of time into it and then request insane prices.

You can hold this staff by level 14 and benefit from the wisdom bonus at just 22. The damage output makes it good for lower level characters using lower level spells. Would love to see a 1x necro lore wizard using 901 with this.

You need an excessive amount of necro lore before you see any benefit in the flares. You can hold it at 14, but you're not going to notice any real benefit until much, much later.

It's very interesting that Luft is more then willing to comment on other people's stuff, but doesn't want comments on his.

To be blunt, this staff is a joke at this price. Then again, I think he KNOWS it's a joke.

The real joke is probably on the fool that pays the asking price, as for the price, good luck.

[Berubeo21]

From what Ive read up on rot flares and from personal experience hunting capped stuff with zero necro lore as of yet, the statement I keep hearing of "You need an excessive amount of necro lore before you see any benefit in the flares." Is false. The bastard sword I bought flares quite often and I'd estimate 10-20 percent of the time it's a fatal flare. Wyrom stated that the flares would be enhanced by necro lore(-lots of it, not seeing much gains untill 50-75 ranks) by means of flare frequency as well as length of the after damage over time disease/rot effect. Lores will not make the flare itself, more deadly.

I'd say these flares kill outright more than any flare I have experienced. That being said 70m is a high as fuck MB and I don't know much about runestaffs

[Rheisia]

The statement that you need a lot of necro to get benefit doesn't mean that the flares are useless without it- it means your necro training won't start to show any real benefit until higher levels. Those are two entirely different statements.

And I'm thinking your fatal flare statement is more confirmation bias than anything else. My friend uses a weapon with three flares on it (one of which is rotflares), and according to them the rotflares are less likely to kill than the disruption flares. (Though that's not the same thing as saying rotflares aren't ultimately better than disruption- just for reasons unrelated to instant kills)

None of this should suggest that Rotflares aren't awesome- they are. They have a high flare rate even without lores, and the DoT is actually pretty solid. And this runestaff is likewise awesome. It's just not worth anything close to the asking price. Heck, that BO would buy a soulstone wand.

[Franknozly]

Rich people will also have better runestaves
lol true dat.

[crb]

I would say this is a 4m runestaff. 1m for enchant, 1m for ensorcel (you would pay more than 1m to get your stick to T3 if hiring a sorcerer, but things never sell for what they'd cost to make), 1m for weak enhancives, 1m for disruption (again, same thing).

So you're saying the rotflares are worth 66m? I believe the highest they went for at auction is 50m, and that was for the luxury of putting them on an epic level weapon. As such if this were an epic level runestaff I believe the rotflare addition would be worth 50m in incremental value. It isn't though. As-is I cannot see it being worth more than 15-20m, and that will drop as more rotflares are released.

What would be the point? If a wizard is using 901, they're also going to be using Rapid Fire, which would make the rot flares irrelevant. At best, the flares might result in a kill like 0.5 seconds sooner.

I think damage flares in general are extremely overrated (except feras, feras rules). Rot flares seem like more of a gimmick than anything else, unless the character using it just tends to kill things really slow.

[Neovik1]

Moar Jerbies pwease!!!!

For the week I had to play with using a rot flaring weapon. I thought rot flares were pretty bad ass.

The main value is that they can be put on more or less anything. Weapons you thought were maxed out can have them added, so the marginal incremental value is quite high.

But if you're not putting them on something epic... the value is just must less. Is this runestaff here for sale worth more than a 7x fusion? The 7x fusion can obviously have better enhancives, and it can easily be ensorcelled, getting flares added would not be difficult, and you could get rot flares added to it one day (assuming Wyrom fixes the fusion conflict, which he says he plans to fix), and of course it is a higher enchant. If you had acuity flares added you could keep adding more until it got to 10x on that. This staff however... you'll never be able to enchant it again, never be able to increase the flares, never be able to add to the enhancive value. This staff is maxed out, it has no potential for further improvement going forward (the pp enchant cost will not be worth it), and it is maxed out at mediocre levels.

Could you enchant it again if you have a merchant remove the disruption flares?

[Rheisia]

Yes. But one of the selling points here is having multiple flares. That's a LOT of time and work just to get another +10 or so. Not no mention money... the odds of winning uncommon flares are low. You will end up having to buy someone else's slot at an event. So this 70m quickly becomes 90.

[Neovik1]

Yeah... I prefer to shy away from anything that could hinder the growth of an item. Just curious. Thanks!

[Allereli]

I don't think it's worth 70 mil, but I don't think it's a shit staff to put rotflares on, since you cannot put rotflares on fusion. disruption flares are nice, and the fact that it's both AUR/WIS bonus, not stat, makes a huge difference. It's really hard to find an AUR/WIS bonus staff that is not fusion.

[Rheisia]

Agreed. Everyone is acting as though the owner originally set out to charge 70m when choosing this staff- in which case, yes, this was a stupid staff to choose. But the owner isn't looking at it that way- they're looking at the value of the flares themselves being worth the asking price. Obviously, no one agrees with that asking price (understatement of the year), but- as Allereli is pointing out here- that doesn't mean this isn't a great staff. It is.

Part of the problem stems from the variable value of rotflares. For all but about ten of us, these aren't much better than your standard flares. For those ten of us who have enough necro to make a difference, these flares are epic (more so than the majority of people on this thread realize). But, they only trigger if the target isn't killed outright. Personally, I'm a pinger because I'm generally logging in just enough to get my necro for the week- which means hunting as long as my mana will carry me. So these flares would be amazing for me. But if you're not a pinger- then non-acuity flares are somewhat meaningless. If you're hunting primarily with 719 and 717- what's the point?

[Androidpk]

Are there any logs of someone using these flares with 2x necro?

[crb]

Could you enchant it again if you have a merchant remove the disruption flares?

It isn't clear how/if rot flares interfere with enchanting AFAIK, you would also have added difficulty from the ensorcel and enhancives, and you'd max out at +32, instead of +35.

[crb]

It's really hard to find an AUR/WIS bonus staff that is not fusion.

I wonder who owns my old prefusion runestaff now, that one was pretty nice, would have made a nice rotflare staff. been awhile but as I recall it had 4 nice enhancives including +11 or something to necromancy.

[Rheisia]

Are there any logs of someone using these flares with 2x necro?

The logs that Wyrom posted on the officials are with 2x necro.

[Intrantes]

It's amusing he thought that disclaimer would stop anyone on the PC from giving their opinion.

I cant help but find it amusing that the comments and debate are more interesting than the item being auction itself. Just my 2 cents.

[crb]

Are there any logs of someone using these flares with 2x necro?

I believe the flares do not get any stronger, they merely come more frequent. That is what he inferred when he distributed them. I tested them at EG with 180 ranks and didn't notice them being any stronger, but they were coming at nearly every cast. This was observed and commented on and Wyrom, who was standing right there, didn't correct us.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

Love the bumps. Really feeling the love of the community here.

This staff is godly. I wouldn't care if it's 0x frankly. All of my low level casters will be using this staff and shortening hunt times because of it. I can train less in harness power and use plinking spells, focusing my training points more on 3x spells and necro lore. This runestaff changes the game because you have different build possibilities with it.

Thank you. This was my logic going in.

I don't use enhancives much so I needed something relatively cheap to charge with BPs.

Unfortunately everyone else seems to disagree. Everyone else dictates the price. It's not like you're tacking a premium on because it's rare and cool (which it is), you're literally overvaluing the item by $500.

Even if you're obsession with the plinking stuff was valid for new characters, what new characters get made really today? Every build is viable without this, so if someone wants to do some RP build they don't need your 70m investment. If they want to make a new character that is overpowered there are FAR better options for far less investment.

You see a lot of screen spam when you use the item and you think it's worth 50m more than it is because it's flashy. Try to charge whatever you want, don't get mad when everyone else laughs at you for being orders of magnitude beyond what the market is dictating.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

You're acting like extensive testing has been done with these flares. Also your.

[Methais]

You're acting like extensive testing has been done with these flares.

And you're not?

Even pre-nerf Stovel flares wouldn't be worth 50m. Or if anything was, it would be those and pretty much only those.

The only flares worth 50m are blowjob flares.

[Donquix]

Lets assume these are "godly flares" (spoiler: they aren't) The only thing that would make these viable on a runestaff is excessive necro training, effectively meaning your market is sorcerers, the third least played class behind monks and paladins last i checked. Maybe clerics who want to spend a ton of MTP on necro lore they can't otherwise use.

Further they need to want to do this specific build path and focus on "plinking" instead of you know...just killing the thing outright for far less effort.

They can't focus on an RP choice that would preclude them from spreading some kind of disease.

They have to have the resources to drop 70m to make this niche build path viable

Your target demographic is a subset, of a subset, of a subset of one of the lowest played classes.

Good luck.

Showing a 30 point flare death crit isn't special. Most flares will death crit on a 30 point headshot.

There's a weapon out there with four flares: ensorcel, unbalance, rotflares, and disruption (along with some stat enhancements). Even that's not worth 70m. You posted this at 70m to prove to me that my ridiculously high offer wasn't enough. Now you know- it's not worth anything close to what you're asking. Frankly L, it's not even worth what I'm offering. And the second another round of these goes out- it won't even be worth half of that. This is not an item that's going to appreciate in value- quite the contrary. Hanging on to it and waiting is just shooting you in the foot I'm afraid.

I don't think you understand.. Luft likely won a spot, had nothing better on him to do, so did this. So in his mind it has to be godly, because maybe he could have sold the spot instead. Which frankly, if he wanted to do, he should have. You almost always make more money selling the service then selling the item made with the service.

Look at my claid. 2 +5 enchant spots, pick a bane spot, and ensorcelling spot. Sold separately... prolly close to 100 mill. Claid isn't worth 100 mill, and I would never even TRY to sell it at that.

Then again... look at his Lance. He always seems to want out of an item he makes, what it would have gotten him to sell the spots. Maybe he should do that instead next time.

[rolfard]

My fist bump comes with a higher reputation multiplier.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

I don't believe I share your interest in fisting. Ardwen on the other hand.. He'd likely take you up on at least a 2x fist multiplier.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

some people have told me that the new staves coming out will lessen the value of my staff. I disagree due to a few factors.

- Those staves are not aura or wisdom enhancive. (Mine is a smaller enhancive on the general scale of enhancive desirability, but in my view, even more desirable because it costs less points and can be used at a younger age)
- My staff has disruption flares, the staves coming out have an empty slot (which means they can likely be blessed) but it will be tougher to get a flare added to heavily scripted/enhancive stuff at an event.
- It's not clear if those staves can take ensorcells yet.

Also, you need to consider how many people are really in the dark with regards to rot flares. Once the cat is out of the bag I believe my staff at 50m will be considered moderately priced.

Great luck with the trolling that will commence after this post. Sorry in advance for being myself and speaking my mind.

I don't normally respond to this kind of thing, but come on. You're doing the trolling, my friend. "My enhancive is actually BETTER because it's smaller!"

Gimme a break. You're the troll.

[time4fun]

I don't want dogpile in on you here, but I do feel compelled to point out a few things:

1) You are 100% correct about the enhancives (as far as I know anyway- someone in plat may be able to confirm for us). And WIS enhancives, in particular, are in high demand for sorcerers (who comprise your primary market)
2) Remember that these new staves coming out have rotflares AND nerve flares (which , on paper, appear to be far more useful than disruption flares given they are both offensive AND defensive flares that can give you 10 ranks of CM as a pure)
3) The flare slot continues to be open, and even if you never get anyone to work on them (doubtful), they still come pre-packaged with effectively three kinds of flares (rot, nerve offensive, nerve defensive). They just happen to have the ability to have a fourth flare added. This isn't a con- it's a pro.
4) There's no reason to suspect that these can't be ensorcelled. Rotflares allow for it, and all other script-based flares have allowed for it.
5) These staves will also be further enchantable (both rotflares and nerve flares play nicely with enchant) The second that flare slot is filled (by disruption flares or anything else), that's no longer the case. Who knows how easy or dificult that's going to be in practice though.
6) I'm one of a handful of people out there who has Rotflares. Yes, they are awesome. But they aren't that much more awesome than any other flare (unless you're a high level sorcerer who tanked necro). Their value was that they could be added to literally anything- which allows me to have a weapon with four different flares active in it at once, for example. But once they're put on a set weapon, they aren't quite as valuable. (I'm certain Ardwen doesn't believe that the rotflares on his weapon actually increased its value by 100m, for example. It was just worth it to him to enhance a weapon that otherwise had no further room to upgrade)

Having said that- I think it's worth pointing out that these new staves are going to be 50,000 bloodscrip. I'm going to go on a limb here and estimate that the player market for these is going to be about 1,000,000 silver per 1,000 bloodscrip. So it's not like we're suddenly going to see everyone and their dog running around with these. Rotflare runestaves will continue to be extremely hard to come by, and those who have them aren't going to be likely to part with them. So it's not like we all woke up one day, and your runestaff was suddenly worthless. And if the player-run bloodscrip secondary market values 1,000 bloodscrip more than 1m silvers, the value of these new staves could be significantly higher than 50m.

But it's hard to argue that the new runestaves aren't superior to yours in most- if not all- categories. (at least on paper- none of us has actually used one yet as far as I know)

I disagree, his runestaff is worthless, because it's HIS.

Lets see... 50k scrip or roughly 35 mill for a rot flare, nerve flare acuiy flare runestaff... or 50 mill for the piece of shit he has.... hmmmmm

[Luftstreitkräfte]

the smallest enhancive is desirable as rot flares are desirable for plinking. if you're getting kills in 1-2 hits rot flares will be worthless to you.

my runestaff is ideal for a younger caster that doesn't want to heavily invest in harness power / 3x spells, opting instead for necromancy lore.

One thing I also feel compelled to point out here- it was made very clear that the necro lore impact on rotflares isn't noticeable until much higher levels. It's very likely that any low- or even mid-level- sorcerer out there isn't getting any more benefit from the rotflares than my character. (Unless they're 2x'ing Necro)

I'm also going to go find the old Rotflares thread (Under events I think?) and will update it with some information from my own testing of my weapon- in case anyone is interested.

[nocturnix]

Not to jump on the derailing of this topic, it is still a nice staff. But IMO no one should ever put rot flares on a runestaff less than Ko'narg, it is kind of a no-brainer. If you win a spot, buy a f-ing konarg if you dont already have one waiting (which you should if you are going for rot flares). It is really sad to see them wasted on anything less.

Oh well, still not a bad staff, but a bit harder to get the value it deserves.

[Neovik1]

It would probably be worth something if the disruption flares were stripped from it so that it could be further enchanted.

Couldn't agree more, i'd pay 15 bucks a month to read this thread daily <shrug>

Few things I'm not interested in:

1. Trades
2. Opinions on the pricing of the item above
3. Comparisons to previous runestaff sales - rot flares output so much damage it's just in a different tier
4. PMs with offers below what is listed above
5. Private bids

Would you trade this for a deringo runestaff? Seems like your pricing is way high; especially compared to previous runstaff sales given that this is on the same or maybe a bit lower tier as those. PM'd you with a reasonable offer below your asking price, and pm'd a private bid. Lemme know. Thanks.

[Gyldemar Forest, Cobbled Path]
A barely visible, broken cobbled path winds its way through the dense forest under the ever-watchful gaze of ancient, black oak trees. The wild scent of the dark woods hangs heavy in the air and a rustling of leaves or the instinctual clawing of some small woodland creature echoes amongst the trees. An odd carven symbol hangs from a low-hanging branch. You also see a tusked ursian, a rotting wooden coffer, a morning star and a point of elemental instability.

last chance to get this. been hunting a lot with 1700 and i'm thinking of doing a minimal HP build with 3x spells and no spell aim and just rot flaring it up.

How do you get rot flares on that?

[Luftstreitkräfte]

I won it during EG with my bard who has a knack for big wins

[Soulance]

Ah, cool. Wish they'd give those out more...or hopefully add it to the merchant flare list. Though part of the appeal is that it isn't that available.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

BUMP!

[Soulance]

I know, you keep tempting me...

[Methais]

I was about to buy this out for 58m, but then I saw your buyout was set at 57m and I'm no longer interested.

[Wrathbringer]

I see by the thread tags that you take sharts? What's the shart conversion rate for 57m silvers? Like 10 per mil? I could do that, if you're interested.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

i'd need at least tree fiddy sharts for this fine runestaff. Ronan alter included.

[Methais]

570 sharts is a lot. Even with prune juice.

Or is it prune jews?

I apologize to the jews.

I know but he just said he'd only charge me 350 sharts. With my shart valve attachment that is capable of opening and closing at a rapid rate, I can get roughly 10 sharts out of what would have normally only been one shart. I realize that I'm loosing overall volume per shart using this method, but anyone can tell you that any amount of shart in one's face is enough, so a little goes a long way. Besides, everyone knows that spraying several thin coats is always better than trying for one thick coat. It's just so hard to get good coverage all in one go. Now granted, I've gotten better at that over time and I can usually get decent enough face coverage that it really takes an up close inspection to see the spots I missed and generally speaking, no one wants to get that close so <shrug>. I just want to make sure IW is getting what he's paying for. Good rep is worth a lot around here. I like turtles.

I think you're just blowing hot air. No pun intended. Only Wrathbringer is capable of such a high frequency of sharting.

Please. You think you're sharting but it's loose ball sweat being dislodged by quickly moving air. You're nothing more than a glorified air compressor.

You can hold this staff by level 14 and benefit from the wisdom bonus at just 22. The damage output makes it good for lower level characters using lower level spells. Would love to see a 1x necro lore wizard using 901 with this.


So you have tried to sell this weapon as a Great newbie weapon... Now your trying to promote it's great use as a near capped weapon...

and yet it's junk for either level range.

Come on IW... grow some balls and admit you fucked up and put rotflares on a piece of shit. At least then I, and maybe a few others, would have a little respect for you.

Probably. .4333 silvers and not a dime more.

Tell you what IW.. YOU pay ME 48 mill, and I will toss it down the well for you.

And then I will lie and say I bought it for 48 mill, and lost it hunting.

[Warriorbird]

My 9 mil offer sounds pretty good comparatively.

[Goat]

Alright, IW. I know you love trolling the haters, and the haters love trolling you. The trollers love hating you, for that matter. But I think we ought to wrap this up before the ten month mark and let some other auction bask in this level of infamy.

I'm offering 44m. Accept it as a MB; shop it around for one more week. Consider the 8.3% discount a loyalty program - remember the IW IW lance? (I'm still swinging it, five ensorcells, an enchant, an alter, and a rotflares script later.)

[Luftstreitkräfte]

I like you Goat. You're reasonable.

44m to Goat going once.

I lowered the BO to 55m as well.

[poison_Owns]

I'm tempted to bid. Those bonuses would be perfect for a n00b.

In all seriousness I am considering this though. How hard is getting a T4-T5 on an item like this?

[Goat]

I expect it'll be well within the capabilities of most "very capped" sorcerers (161 sorc spells, maxed stats with enhancives, 2x in everything that matters). I don't know that I'll be able to T5 myself, though. (121 sorc ranks, not-quite-maxed on enhancives, missing a lot of secondary skills). But that's basically just a hunch.

[Vusit]

wait this thread might end? goat, what have you done.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

Would love to end the thread. I think my 60 or so sorc at the time did one of the casts on this. (pre rot flares) It's 100% doable. This item has rot flares, disruption flares and enhancives. All kidding aside this staff is serious fucking business. When you hit that triple flare you'll be like ooh wee. Naysayers gonna naysay.

Open to letting anyone do a test on this. Trying to get my sorc to check it out now.
