Can someone summerize what I missed

[grausherra]

Greetings Khyber!

I am back after a long break... since the level cap was 12.

I'm looking through the market and seeing prices that make my eyes spin. What are low level weapons so pricey? I was looking for an elemental great axe or great sword, and there has rarely been one for sale, and when they have been the prices are way otu of reach of a low level player... why are these so in demand?

Also the old staples at low levels, Maelstorm and Sickle of Sypherous seem to be strangely absent... have they been removed from the game, or do they just not come up for sale?

I guess what I am asking is simply a short post explaining what the market is like nowadays, what is desirable, and what is farmable for cash in the low to mid game, if anyone cares to share any info.

Thanks,
RepairWiz

You can find Maelstrom on the auction house for outrageous prices on occassion. Sickle of sypheros are fairly common, cheap on AH or vendor. Some of the collectibles you find at lower levels are fairly desirable, there are other forum posts in the crafting section that will tell you which ones. Everyone gets clickies now, but if you can find no level invis and exp retreat, they sell for a little bit. Otherwise, just get everything from chests and sell it at vendors or tavern. Good luck and hope this helps

Good point, AH your Luminescent Dust, Lightening Split Soarwood, Silver Flame Hymnals, and Vials of Pure Water. You'll get a lot of plat grabbing the collectibles and keeping an eye for those, and a few others. Check the AH for current asking prices (that apparently aren't selling) and price yours a little lower.

Run STK and Tangleroot and gather all the collectables you can find. Always desirable items from there.
Also bear in mind that STK drops a no min level ring that has feather falling on it.
(Ring of feathers) This item will almost always sell on AH for a good bit of change.

If you're looking for good low/mid level gear and dont want to pay
outrageous prices, the best quest, bar-none, is Tear of Dhakkan in house p.
I always see decent if not very nice low/mid level gear in there.
Even saw a really nice young lass pull a +2 holy silver kama of pure good from there...

No, I didnt take advantage of her.

Holy or good aligned silver weapons are very popular nowdays.
In WW I found a +1 silver short sword of pure good that I am using at end game.
Who'd have figured on using min level 2 weapons for endgame raid bosses lmao.
All weapons with multiple sources of stat damage are always nice too if/when you should come across them.
I.E. wounding of puncturing (con damage)/maladroit of bonebreaking (dex damage)/
Weakening of enfeebling (str damage)

The reasons why low level gear has gone up in value is due to everyone being capped or running to cap as quickly as possible.
This has left a large void in available nice low level gear, which has increased it's value substantially.

The easiest thing you can do is post your alts name up here (which I assume is repairwiz) and pray to Gornn. If Gornn should hear your calling he may endow your mailbox with numerous forms of help as will many other players that reside on Khyber.

Good luck and Have fun,

S.

I don't have any alts, repairwiz is my only character at the moment. I'm just trying to get a handle on how to get started again, and was shocked when I saw that low level elemental two-handers were so pricey >.< With any luck I'll make some plat and snag an elemental weapon out of the rusty nail sometime soon.

Guess a lot has changed since last time I played. I'll definitely keep everyone's advice here in mind, many thanks again!

PS: Who is this Gornn you speak of?

gornn is a nobody don't worry about him he is being taken care of as we speak his heresy will be gone soon enough

Check the Rusty Nail weapon vendor every time you log on for lvl 2 elemental weapons, if you mean that low.

I frequently see some there, including the Sypheros sickle. Check the House D pawn shop for lvl 4 items. There very often elemental and Pure Good weapons, there, and often Holy. Sometimes you'll find decent AH lowbie items at a decent price, but for some reason, yeah, they tend to be way too pricey.

Maelstrom is a much, much, much rarer drop than sypheros, and sells for much, much, much more plat on the AH. It's still by far the most lethal lowbie weapon in the game, by a long shot. The anarchic property means it tears up the common lowbie kobold and hobgoblin mobs.

Thank you again Gornn and Slink, I cannot say how much I appreciate it, and how helpful you guys' aid is!

LOL, I can't help it..

Be careful around gornn though, you might contract a different form of "aid".

He gets around with all that huggin and his wand.

Don't worry I sent him some gloves of protection.

After all, you know my motto: no hug, without the glove!

I run into lowbie gear seldom... usually just when helping someone out with favor. When I do I toss it on the AH really cheap or just hop on over to Krothos and randomly hand it out.

My view though is low level gear you outgrow so quickly it really is not worth the efforts to hunt while low level. Now those which hold use well until mod or even level cap... yes that is what one should persue.
