For those of you who do not know me, I suffer from a condition called atypical trigeminal neuralgia, or ATN. My symptoms include a constant pain in my left cheek (similar to as if you were punched in the face - over and over again) in addition to random, shock-like, stabbing episodes (as if lightening is traveling through the face, randomly, whenever it feels like it). Google it if you want to know more - Wikipedia has a very good description as well. I am not looking for sympathy - I have been dealing with this for over 10 years. However, I am looking for $ for a surgery that is not covered by my insurance (it's considered "experimental in nature"). With that said, I am selling all of my top items in GS in hopes to raise some cash. If any of you just want to donate out of the kindness of your heart, just PM me :o)

AUCTION RULES:
• This auction will run through noon, 10/18. Highest bid over the MB will win.
• Accepting silvers or cash at $9 per million.
• I do NOT update on a daily basis, do not expect it. Winner will be contacted on Sunday.
• Pick-up available at FourWinds (preferred), Teras Isle, Ta'Illistim, or the Landing BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. I am typically available M-F from 4:30-6:30p central and Sat and Sun mornings or evenings central.
• I do not have any additional information other than what is listed. Please do not ask.
Bid well and bid often... ~Vivi

a rust-stained iron chisel - GEM CHISEL

MB: 75M
CB: Rolfard - SOLD

The iron chisel has a sharpened, flat edge on one end and a blunt knob on the other. The chisel looks worn from use but still gleams with sharpness. The craftsmanship on the chisel is solid and the runes engraved along its sides are intricately entangled.
...weighs about 2 lbs or less if you care...

Update: 15-30 sec RT was added about a year ago

Gives a rank one wound on every use, excepting when you miss, which causes a rank two wound. Missing is a highly unlikely outcome. The wounds do not stack.

Recommended use is to purify any gem first, then chisel, but you may purify after chiseling if you want.

gem loss - shatter it with a strong strike in the wrong spot.
9% increase - hit it off-centered hitting your hand too.
19% increase - hit it pretty good while retaining your grip.
29% increase - hit it nearly in the center.
39% increase - chip it along an angle you like.
49% increase - hit it precisely. You are pleased with the results.

Are you 100% about the no round time thing? I heard that was changed recently.

what makes these so valuable?

Rarity and the prestige factor to my knowledge.

20ish percent return then resale at cost is why they are popular

1) It's an item that has a high base value, that is unlikely to depreciate due to it's rarity.
2) It increases the values of gems, even post-purification. So having the chisel basically will yield more money.
3) Upon end of life, or not wanting to have it anymore, you can likely sell the chisel for as much, potentially more, than you bought it for.

It's win-win-win... if you can afford it.
