Will be selling this polearm with Rebalance Flares but thought I'd obtain opinions about a good starting price. Once I have a base price, I'll post it for sale with a starting and a BO figure. Here's everything about the weapon:


Description
a haon-hafted black ora trident


Show
The lower section of the fine-grained, smoky grey haft has been wrapped in tough, untanned leather that provides a better purchase on the weapon. The wood tapers at the end, slotting tightly into a solid ora loop with triple iron-reinforced prongs attached. Each prong has been expertly sharpened to inflict maximum damage. The tip of the middle prong is slightly longer than the other two, a design intended to lessen the chance of the weapon becoming stuck in an opponent's body.


Analysis
You analyze your black ora trident and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.
The creator has also provided the following information:
The black ora trident contains a special flare. It can be freely altered. You can raise, toss and tap the trident.
You can tell that the trident is as light as it can get.


Flares - added at Convocation Event
You thrust with a haon-hafted black ora trident at a jungle troll!
AS: +327 vs DS: +66 with AvD: +24 + d100 roll: +78 = +363
... and hit for 124 points of damage!
Shot shatters shoulder and severs left arm!

You feint to one side, then crack the jungle troll with a hard shot! Suddenly, you reverse direction, and strike the jungle troll again with the butt of your black ora trident!

... 20 points of damage!
Blow raises a welt on the jungle troll's right arm.
Roundtime: 5 sec.


Assessment
You assess the trident for structural weaknesses and strengths.
Careful examination indicates the black ora trident has a base strength of 85 and a base durability of 220. You also determine the current integrity of the black ora trident to be at 100.0%.
Checking out the trident, it looks like it is temporarily weighted to inflict more critical blows than a normal weapon of its type.
After a careful inspection you determine that a haon-hafted black ora trident requires skill in polearms to use effectively.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of black ora


Actions
raise trid
You raise your trident into the sky and cry out for vengence!
tap tri
You tap your black ora trident against the floor in a carefully measured pace.
toss tri
You bounce the trident around some, then whirl it around, looking for a place to stuff it, but nothing seems suitable. Perhaps if you had an open container or room available in one. NB Incomplete action due to no empty container


More Actions
grip one-handed
You grip the black ora trident with one hand.

grip two-handed
You grip the black ora trident with both hands.


Loresong
The harmonics generated tell you that the trident inflicts more fearsome wounds when it strikes.

The trident resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus of 3 to Health Recovery.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 12 times.
It provides a bonus of 4 to Multi Opponent Combat Bonus.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 12 times.
The trident looks to have more than your average giantman could count charges remaining.

The trident resonates with your voice, revealing some details of its temporary enhancement:
The trident's enhancement will degrade when it scores a successful strike.
It should be able to withstand an incredible amount of uses before its enhancement has completely degraded away.
When its enhancement has degraded away, the item will lose its special ability.

You sense that the black ora trident will persist after its last enhancive charge has been expended.

Not playing that much these days so reducing my weapon stock to the bare necessity, including all project pieces and items that require training I don't intend to pursue. And no, the claid wont be one of them. hehe

I hope the weighting is more exciting than the enhancives :)

This. The enchant isn't listed in the information.

Oh yeah. Didn't notice that. It's 2x. Yep. That was a glaring omission.

Off to bed. 10k run to fit in before work and it's past midnight. Will check tomorrow for appraisals. Night.

Poleaxe flares are fun and quite rare, and once the weighting is gone you could enchant it (and up to +20 can be a side project). You'll do better than 35k. 100k? 1m? I don't know. For stuff without a lot of comps (e.g. 7x fusion) it's just a matter of lucking into auctioning it off when at least two people are interested.

While true, you then run into the realm of the fact that it's a trident. Not exactly a strong contender within the polearm weapon class.

Thanks. Info provided as been extremely useful. Going to get rid of the weighting quickly and give it to friend to increase the enchant as much as he is able and then sell it. Thanks for the private advice too. Much appreciated. The GS PC community kick advisory ass!

I think Goat's 8x lance or awl pike with the same flares went for 25m. And as whirlin said, the heavy polearms are usually the more sought after. So I guess somewhere below that would be the payoff for ET'ing it up to 7x, not to mention wouldn't ET'ing it require potions due to the enhancive on it?

Just pointing out all the work involved and the realistic payoff because ... I want it :) I do use tridents, and as such I pm'd you with what I think is a generous offer in its current form. I would make use the temporary weighted, and when the weighting is off, I think temporary flares could be added to for quite cheaply as the charge is by enchant, to make a pretty good weapon despite the enchant.

Also, agree with the other poster that this one should be eventually higher ET'ed wherever it ends up!

If you use it one-handed, a trident isn't quite as good as a spear, though it's still passable. It's ALMOST worth taking up to7x. Whirlin sold me his +31 lance with rebalancing flares for 12m, though it also had troll bane on it.

I ensorcelled it too... That lance is awesome. So many flares against trolls.
