+6 stat items garbage?

[FluffyCalico]

Are + 6 stat items so common now that they are vendor trash?

Reason I am asking is I was making some space in my bank and stuck 14 different +6 stat items or +6 stat of greater something useless up on the AH for 24 hrs and left the opening bid at the default that the AH puts in there. Only 2 sold out of 14.

Have +6s gotten so common that now people won't even pay the AH reccomended price for them? Or does everyone just trade them instead of using the AH

- Helm slot (WIS/INT/CHA) is largely reserved for the Minos helm (on like 60% of characters - probably 100% if everyone was a powergamer).
- Googles (Int) can't be given away, even for free
- Dex Boots are viable but in ample supply
- Bracers (STR) are likely only sought after by caster types
- Cloak (CHA) is viable, but most people who care about CHA would still prefer a Res+ cloak w/ the Head in the trinket slot.
- Necklace (WIS/CON) ain't a bad choice, but protection is viable too...a case of too much supply I think.
- Belt (CON/STR) is usually a "until I get Daggertooths/Brute/etc belt"

Basically, if it ain't on a ring, it is not nearly as valuable anymore.

HM I think the 2 that sold were rings now that you mention it. Guess they need to break out the +7s in the loot tables.

I have a capped toon and I havent landed a single +6 item ever. I have also never been given a +6 item. I guess that makes them too rare and too valuable for me!

I recently pulled two tomes in a week (both +1)...I have never pulled a +2 and before that I had only pulled one tome the whole time.

Tell a story like that and you get people telling you that they are very common and that they gave 5 tomes away last night. Go to the auction though....you cant buy one for less than 300k gp. That speaks to their value and their rarity.

I had a +1 WISDOM tome that I tried to ah 5-6 times even went as low at 50K on it and it never sold. So eventually my fighter said screw it and ate it thinking he might get odd wisdom bost as a side bounses on some item he wore for other reasons.
I even offered it in guild chat several days for free and noone took it.
If you are on agro I am going to put up a cheap +1 int tome this morning for the 4th time. Please buy it

I already ate an INT tome....otherwise I would be there with balls on.

Dont get me wrong....people do put them up for cheap, but they very seldom sell for cheap. Props to you though (and Ill be looking for your future deals *cough* Con/Str *cough*).

+7 stat items would be epic level items and may or may not make it in to the game before level 20, that'll be a dev call.

+7 stat items would be epic level items and may or may not make it in to the game before level 20, that'll be a dev call.

I think they should be implemented, as stats are already so out-of-sync with P&P that it won't cause any further divergence.

I mean, who ever heard of a stat over 30 before level 19-20 in PnP? (Not counting ECL races here).


On the plus side, they'd be something on the random loot tables that players would want again.



As far as the value of +6 stat items, they remain uncommon but are no longer rare. Think the way +5 stat items were when Mod 4 was new.

[Dariuss]

well i could still use a +6 CHR cloak..... but yeah, even I have a +6 STR and a +6 DEX and a +5 WIS item waiting for my Ranger to get levelled up enough to use them

[Beherit_Baphomar]

Simple answer is yes.
+6 stat items are very common.

Rings are still fairly popular though.

I think there are two Americas...er two DDOs.

In one DDO the players have so many +6 stat items they don't buy them off the AH, even when they are cheap.

In the other DDO, players not only don't have many +6 items, they don't have any plat to buy the "cheap" ones off the AH.

[techguru]

Well heck, I am back after being gone for a year and I see a lot of items that are becoming more common that were super rare when I left - ie.. vorpal etc,
I have not a single +6 item - I am seriously looking for a +6 wisdom item if anyone has one for sale (would gladly pay AH price)

I don't know about your 2nd point. If we're talking any +6 items, there are items that go for 5-9k platinum on the AH. Any mid lvl toon, no matter how casual a player, should be able to afford that.

I'm on the khyber server. You can mail your +6 ogre power gloves to me. Can't swallow paying 500k+ for a pair on the AH. Need level 13 compatible or dwarf race required. Thanks
