SPTF Price Check guide 1.13c Edition

Sorry for OT, but why is a jewelers monarch worth so much ( you say zod + ) and a normal 4 os monarch ( which can be used for making runewords ) so little ? And why is a blue 2 skill, fcr, 2 sockets helmet worth so much?

I see some appeal in both, specialy if i think back to battlenet times and all the duped 40/15 jewels, but luckily we dont have them here.

Supply; Probably 500,000+ 4os Monarchs have dropped for the players on this forum. I'm aware of 2 JMoD's, and I'd be surprised if more than 5 have dropped. If you want to make a shield with four great Facets/Jewels/Runes (ie a non-runeword), assuming you play a block character, having "of Deflecting" for free makes a pretty big difference. I made a pretty sweet Shield for my cow runner (two perfect facets, Cham, 3MPK/15IAS Jewel) in a regular 4os Monarch, because there just aren't any JMoDs around. If one were magically put up for trade, I imagine a lot of people would fight for it.

As for the Circlets, they're generally quite useful for PvP, where hitting FCR Breakpoints is very important, skills is very important, and sockets is very important. The 2/20/2 type Circlet is often the best option available, then. So, reasonably high demand (particularly amongst rich (PvP) players), and a quite limited supply makes for pricey items.

In response to how my recent trade thread went, I suggest revisiting this:

Code:

2+MAX/xxAR/<10life Mal+
2+MAX/xxAR/ 11-14life Ist/Gul
2+MAX/xxAR/ 15-18life Ohm+
2+MAX/xxAR/ 19,20life Lo/Sur+

+3max dmg means you can multiply values by 2 or 3. High AR also helps.

Maybe slashing Ohm -> Vex, Lo/Sur -> Ohm/Lo, for 2+MAX, and the 2x-3x multiplier for 3+MAX should be probably 1.5x-2x.

I think.

Ok, expect some minor changes in day or two, or at least some ideas from me. But I AM going to need your help/opinion. It will mostly reflect charms and some other things to lesser extent.

As for JmoD - iirc I've seen 5 of those in SPF. /OT

Maybe it's because I'm NTTP, but I have opened a thread offering a 2/20/2 paladin circlet and nobody offered anything. Now I've found a second one ( still have to socket it, let's cross fingers), but the best use seems to be "sell to atma". All in all, I can't see neither the high demand nor the limited supply...

A current lack of a market for an item does not immediately imply anything as far as how useful or useless it may be. Having said that, however, it's also my opinion that paladin 2/20/2 circlets aren't quite as useful as some of their counterparts.

Aside from that, I agree with the above posters about taking LB to the second tier, and perhaps bumping up Fungal (as well as Entrapping, but that's just my assassin bias talking,

).

**frozzzen** · 13-09-2010, 21:35

You may notice that value of pala 2/20/2 circ is pretty lower then comparable nec or sorc circlets. That's because Spirit in 45@ ST takes away difficulty to get to 125 fcr with decent blocking. Paladin has Holy Shield so base blocking isn't really that important.
More often then not Shako is prefered for hammerdins (PvM especially) since it has great stats and fcr isn't really needed.

That being said how would you make necro with maxblock and 125 fcr breakpoint? Those circlets are obviously more needed on other classes.

**squall78** · 13-09-2010, 22:49

Fungal definitely needs to go up. There's huge demand for bonemancers nowadays. However I can't get rid of my Pally stuff....

We all have to invest in Gold. It have valorized tremendously in the last years and specialists foresee that it will go even higher, exponential returns!

/OT

Perhaps adding essences and respec tokens. I don't run bosses much nowadays and when I do essences just don't drop that much. But I don't have any idea in how to value them.

Just noticed a particular item of some prominence that is missing: Gheed's Fortune. Surely it is not of negligible value (esp. with high MF)? Alas, I ahve no idea how much it is actually worth.
