Offering 20 million gold pieces for a staff

[Bradik_Losdar]

That's right.

I am paying 20 MILLION gold pieces (that's 2 million platinum for those using the new system ) for a simple, random treasure generated staff.

But just not any staff; I have been looking for over two years now for a very, very, very specific staff for my main wizard character and have had a few close calls, but never THE staff I am looking for.

EDIT: See post #4 below for an updated/variant offer list.

What I am searching for is a spear-shaped +5 Metalline Shocking Burst Darkwood quarterstaff of Pure Good. It looks like this (both icon and actual staff):


Note, it must be exactly as listed/shown.

It must be the spear-shaped type (see above). It must be Darkwood (NOT densewood). It must have the Shocking Burst and Pure Good properties. It must be +5.

I will however accept the above listed staff without Metalline in its properties, but the offered price drops in half to only 10 million gold pieces.

So there you go, 20 million gold (or 10 mil ) to some lucky person out there who pulls one of these (or already has one lying around...or knows someone who does) and contacts me - PM's are probably best.

Good luck and good hunting - a fortune awaits you!

A randomly generated item can only have 1 prefix modifier. This means you can not find Metalline and Shocking Burst on the same randomly generated weapon.

Hmm, I could have sworn in all my searchings I have come across quite a few staves with both Metalline and Shocking on them.

[Bradik_Losdar]

Acceptable variant list:

(As previously stated) 10 million for this staff without Metalline (if they really can't be combined with the shocking property)

5 million for this staff with Metalline, but without the shock property.

Every other criteria remains the same (+5, spear shaped, Darkwood, Pure Good)

pretty sure it happens, saw some during the +2 loot thing they did...from Amrath quests

[Daggaz]

Call me crazy, but metal types are a seperate kind of prefix from the damage ones. Or we wouldnt have the illustrious +5 silver holyburst greataxe of greater evil outsider bane, now would we?

So you can have your pretty toys, if only you can find them. Dont listen to everything you read on the forums..

And just in case you think I am just making that up.. I am the proud owner of a +1 holy burst cold iron heavy pick of greater chaotic outsider bane. So yeah, I am dead sure this is not only possible, but actually quite common. Just most of it is junk and gets vendored..

Metalline PG is MUCH more sought after than Shock PG, which is usually vendor trash unless its low ML.

You are incorrect. The only possible way to have 2 prefixes (and shocking burst/metalline are both prefixes) is for the item to either be named (all bets are off), or to have one prefix, combine with cold touch/frost/icy burst which was applied during the last winter festival. No other possibilities currently exist.

Silver/cold iron/flametouched/adamantium are all prefixes, and are commonly found with other damage prefixes. I assumed metaline was part of this list (the former), but maybe that one is special and is on the second list?

Those are metal types and not prefixes. An item can have one prefix, one metal (or wood) type, and one suffix. Many dont have a metal or wood type and it just gets left off.

Metalline is a prefix and takes the same slot on the item as shock would. You can even see redundant items on the AH, like metalline silver of PG weapons (the metalline already covers the silver aspect, so its redundant).

No they are not.

Silver/cold iron etc are simply what the item in question is made of. It does not occupy a prefix or suffix "slot", though an item can only be made of one material. The OP's material of choice is "Darkwood".

Metalline, however, is not a material at all, but rather an enchantment. It occupies the prefix slot, meaning no other prefix can be applied to the weapon (barring holiday games prefixes or named items).

You can thus have a +1 holy burst cold iron heavy pick of greater chaotic outsider bane, but you cannot have a +1 holy burst metalline heavy pick of greater chaotic outsider bane. The first is +/prefix/material/weapon/suffix while the second is +/prefix/prefix/weapon/suffix.

TLR version - Metalline is a prefix. Materials are not.

You're crazy. Silver, cold iron, etc don't raise the ML of an item or have an effect because they are completely different than a property like metalline, shock, holy, etc.

He can have a darkwood, shocking burst but not a darkwood, metalline, shocking burst.

Why? Don't you already have one?

[Bradik_Losdar]

I'm still looking to give away that 20 million in gold....

Again:

20 million gold for a +5 Metalline Shocking Burst quarterstaff of Pure Good

10 million for this staff without Metalline (if they really can't be combined with the shocking property)

5 million for this staff with Metalline, but without the shock property.


(Look, you got to admit, even 5 million gold pieces for a randomly dropped staff is a BOATLOAD of money. Help me help you get rich. )

[Missing_Minds]

Did you drop your darkwood requirement?

And as you have been told, you can not get a loot table generated staff with both metaline and shocking burst properties. Those are in the same prefex catagories.

+5 metaline darkwood pure good
+5 shocking burst darkwood pure good

are the two combinations that are valid for what you desire.

i have the staff metalline of pg but not darkwood or shock since it's not possible

[Bradik_Losdar]

Nope, believe it or not, I'm going more for looks than function. Hence the pricing scheme listed in post #15 above.

It HAS to be darkwood. (Which makes the gem on top of the staff white as opposed to green)
