FT: Natural GC of Balance [1.11b SC RRM/RWM]

[pwangsta]

Alright peeps, let's see how much you folks would like to shell out for this thing:

Natural Grand Charm of Balance
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 42
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 87
Fingerprint: 0x5e992b3d
12% Faster Hit Recovery
+1 to Elemental Skills (Druid Only)

I'm not entirely sure what I'm ISO, per se, so any combination of runes, higher end elites and/or the more useful exceptionals will be considered. If anyone actually wants me to dream up a more specific ISO, lemme know and I'll give it a try, but for now this is the best you're gonna get. Anyways, I'll shut up and go away now :P

EDIT: Oh, actually, there is a set item I would like in particular: a 4 socket Griz caddy. If anyone would like to include it in an offer, that would be looked upon more favorably than a similarly rare item.

[Zhao_Yue]

I'll start off with Um Rune.

[Jingizu]

I will start (and possibly end :shocked: ) with Mal.

[aman]

Edit : nvm, i may bid later

[Zhao_Yue]

I will start (and possibly end :shocked: ) with Mal.

That's right, you're going to end your hope in getting it. :evil:

Ist.

[Jingizu]

That's right, you're going to end your hope in getting it. :evil:

Where should I take all the runes:rant: ? I am forced to start HF rushes in future:grin:


@pwangsta: I can't offer you more runes than Ist too, are you interested in some other stuff (jewels, skillers, charm, or uniques)? Yes, I am asking for dreaming up a more specific ISO :hide:

[pwangsta]

I suppose I can imitate bodis and ask you to fill grail spots (aka I don't want to spend time thinking of specific items).

EDIT: changed my mind, feel to fill up any hole you like (I was going to say elites only, but realized that that might be too restrictive. Anyway, if someone offers a higher rune than ist, this is all likely a moot point anyway.)

[DeathMage]

I bid Ist + lem.

[Zhao_Yue]

I bid Ist + lem.

Not you too! :rolleyes:

Ist + Pul

[DeathMage]

Yes Zhao, me too.

Gul.

[Zhao_Yue]

Gul + Um ....

[DeathMage]

Gul + Mal...

[Zhao_Yue]

Gul + Ist ...

You already have one DM, so why would you need another? :undecided:

[DeathMage]

Gul + Ist ...

Actually I don't have one. Time to start filling in grail holes.

First of all, Skewer of Krintiz is not a grailer (you must have misread the flavie, DM; I have 8 of them :P).

The two offers are now close enough that I can't tell at a glance who's ahead (I don't value all of the grail spots equally, obviously, since some of them are pretty common while others are ... not). Therefore, I've made a neat little summary for the two of you (edit: and me, too, of course):

A nice little table to put the offers side-by-side:

Item | Zhao | DM |
---------------------------------------
Gul | x | x |
Ist | x | x |
Atma's Scarab | x | x |
Blackhand Key | | x |
Blood Crescent | x | |
Boneflame | x | x |
Crescent Moon | x | |
Doombringer | x | |
Gargoyle's Bite | | x |
Gut Siphon | x | |
Hand of Blessed Light | x | |
Hsarus' Iron Fist | x | |
Lacerator | x | x |
Lenymo | | x |
Leviathan | x | x |
Pelta Lunata | | x |
Ravenlore | | x |
Spirit Ward | x | x |
Steel Carapace | x | |
Stormspire | | x |
Taebaek's Glory | x | |
The Gladiator's Bane | x | x |
The Gnasher | | x |
The Hand of Broc | x | |
Wolfhowl | x | x |
---------------------------------------Now the analysis:

Ignoring the rolls on the items offered (and therefore taking away all the items which both DM and Zhao have offered) leaves us with the following offers:

Zhao - Blood Crescent, Crescent Moon, Doombringer, Gut Siphon, Hand of Blessed Light, Hsarus' Iron First, Steel Carapace, Taebaek's Glory, The Hand of Broc
DM - Blackhand Key, Gargoyle's Bite, Lenymo, Pelta Lunata, Ravenlore, Stormspire, The Gnasher

Now, comparing TC3's offered:
Zhao: Hsarus' Iron Fist, The Hand of Broc
DM: Lenymo, Pelta Lunata

Both have 2; I will cancel them out.

Moving on to the elites:
Zhao: 3 TC84's (Gut Siphon, Steel Carapace, Taebaek's Glory), 1 TC78 (Doombringer)
DM: 1 TC84 (Ravenlore), 2 TC87's (Gargoyle's Bite, Stormspire)

This is a tricky one to value. Without the Doombringer, DM is obviously ahead, w/ 2 87's and a class-specific 84 versus 3 regular 84's. With it, I value the two offers pretty much equally, with DM still a little bit ahead, since Ravenlore is an item I can put to use immediately.

Of the remaining items, I will value Blackhand Key (DM) and Hand of Blessed Light (Zhao) equally, both being exceptional grailers that can drop off meph.

Therefore, this leaves Zhao up by a Crescent Moon and a Blood Crescent, but DM is still up a bit in the elite section, so I'll chuck the Blood Crescent in there and call it more or less even.

That leaves Zhao's offer on top by a Crescent Moon.

EDIT: Ouchies, that table looks disastrous. Gimme a few minutes to fix it up.
EDIT2: Yay, much better. Left out the "code" blocking, is all.
EDIT3: This may be my longest post ever. Shutting up now ...
EDIT yet again: right, unfortunately for Zhao, I just found a copy of The Gnasher. Therefore, the gap b/w the two bids shrinks some more. Zhao's still ahead though, but only by a little.

[pwangsta]

D'oh! Edit time just expired, and I realized that first of all, The Gnasher was part of DM's offer, and second of all, I didn't include it in the analysis in the first place -> must've missed it. Please disregard all of my edits, thank you very much. They more or less cancel each other out, and Zhao is still ahead by a Crescent Moon ammy.

Ugh. This certainly isn't getting any easier. Zhao has the edge in terms of quantity, but I run meph much more frequently than pindle, and I run level 85 areas maybe once a year, so the templar's is very attractive. I'm gonna sleep on it and hope someone raises their bid by the time I wake up. :)
