80 haggle =D

[General_Jah]

Hi Im new and trying to understand the benefit of haggle.

Someone in a group today told me that if you had a toon with 10 haggle and a charisma of 10.

Then another toon with a haggle of 10 but a charisma of 18, that the toon with the higher charisma would get a better deal?

Is this true?

And yes I'm taking into account the +haggle from the 18 charisma in this example.

I Personally would love to see a table so I can decide if its worth it to put points into haggle on characters with not many points to spend and bad charismas.

Thanks

If I understand it right, no it's not.
You get equal benefit from equal Haggle score.

Having 10 ranks into Haggle, but have a Charisma of 10 (+0) is equal to having 6 rank into Haggle but having a Charisma of 18 (+4).

I Personally would love to see a table so I can decide if its worth it to put points into haggle on characters with not many points to spend and bad charismas.

Haggle page, on the DDOwiki

What matters is your total haggle, not your charisma. Lots of items/enhancements/feats can make up for a poor charisma, though for the most part haggle is hardly a worthwhile skill for the skill-point-poor classes.

You can find such a table in the DDO wiki page (do a google search for DDOwiki, look under haggle in the skills section). I forget the exact numbers, but a 40 haggle gives you the ability to buy items for about base price from vendors. At 75haggle, my bard can buy heal scrolls for 1211gp each (Their base price is 1650gp).

If you REALLY want to take advantage of haggle, you should probably build a haggle-bard. Even a combat-specced bard can reach 50+ haggle, and then just mail any item worth more than 32k to that character to sell to a broker. Thats what I did with my bard "Audit", and I dont regret it.
