I don't understand why imbued planeswords are so all-fired expensive.
A) Can't I just imbue the same darn thing on any old sword?
- Hit Lightning 50%: Check
- Mage Weapon -20: Check
- Spell Channel: Check
- Faster Cast 1: Check
- DCI 15: Check
Wait - DCI on a weapon? Ok, I start to see it...moving on:
B) If they are REALLY worth 10M a pop, I have a box of 125 for sale. I'll even imbue them first. Serious bidders only, will not sell individually.
:P
-
The fc1 isn't counted on them. Yet another free perk for mages. :)
The generally sell for 5-6m already imbued up, on active shards like ATL or GL.

That is correct. Since the FC 1 is counted, you're able to put on a hit spell. I always wanted to try hit lower attack but never have.
-
But I think it's already at 450 with those mods, so you'd have to drop some hit lightning to put another attribute on.
Wait - maybe it was 430... can't remember.

If you put all that on a weapon it's 5/5 590/450. If you take off the FC1 it goes to 4/5 450/450. Thus they become "all-fired" expensive.
-
yeppers! you would not be able to get hit spell on one you make because for some reason the imbue system does not count the fc used with sc to get sc no neg. that allows you to imbue extra weight making a superior mage wep
-
One more thing NObama.
When you make that weapon I always suggest people change the lightning to fireball instead. It's cheaper to imbue (wasted relic frag-wise) and is better vs other mages ("if" you happen to whack him with your weapon) when the delay spell fireball kicks in. The delay spell fireball "could" also reveal a smoke bomber potentially.
-
The only problem with that is that plane swords come with some Hit Lightning on them already...
-
There are both, HL and HFB ones. I happen to have a Lightning. Got it pretty cheap, and it was my first item I imbued ;)
-
Interesting. I have never seen the HFB ones.
NB, I will pay 30M for the lot of them
-
You just change the lightning to fireball instead Paulo. You have that option on any weapon. So if you loot a weapon off a monster that has hit harm, you can change it to a different hit spell if you prefer.
-
Wow, didn't know you could change the hit spell effects.... I knew about the slayer.
Is that all you can change? Hit spell and slayer... what about hit area? Leeches?
-
Area, yes.
Leeches, no.
-
hit spells replace each other like skills in the same group replace each other.
-
Learn something every day!
-
Interesting. I have never seen the HFB ones.
NB, I will pay 30M for the lot of them
I'm holding out for 1.25 Billion! BILLION!

I'll give you 25 Million then ?

Hmm...apparently I either:
a) Grossly misremembered how many planeswords I have
b) Turned them all in for spring cleaning points
c) Failed to lock down a trunk of them at my house
'cause I've only got about a half-dozen now.
I'm hoping the answer was b and not c, but it wouldn't be the first time...
-
Well since you're not selling a huge batch anymore....how much do you want for them? and on what shard? I have desperately been looking for one in my house for weeks now (I thought I had some too), but to no avail! I am willing to buy all of them since i have a few chars on a a few shards and would like to keep a few spares! Let me know! (PM if you want)
-
I'm surprised they're that hard to find on your shards Maddog. They're usually in the 1.5m range unimbued, just so you know.
-
I did a search yesterday and the average cost was 500K. I bought a bunch a month ago on a couple of shards for 200Kish

That sounds about right. Honestly, there are better things out there...aren't there?

only thing better that I can think of is if you're a gargoyle and can use that 25dci throwing weapon as a magewep
