Sun Blade - worth 1m?

[Seph1roth5]

I got a Sun Blade earlier and don't see how it's worth so much $$ on the auction house. It seems like a similar level holy/holy burst weapon would be better. Is there something about it I'm missing?

[Wizard_Zero]

You should know by now that the AH is more overpriced than a bottle of water at the supermarket. Not worth 1 million.

1m gold? Platinum? Copper? Skittles?

Sunblades are decent (though not outstanding) at level 6, if you are a finesse build fighting undead.

They cost so much because of the novelty factor.

Yes...they are worth 1 million gold.

They are minimum level 6. At level 6 you are running Delera's Tomb a lot and possibly Cave of Korromor and many other undead quest.

You will out grow them...but from like 6 till 10 they are absolute death blender.

I do NOT recommend them for a new player. But for a person that is TRing or use it as a Twink item.

If you are new and short of gold/plat...sell it and use that to flesh out other gear slots.

When I came back to the game I pulled a Bloodstone and sold it to flesh out all my other gear.

If you can get 100k plat (or 1 million gold) for it more power to you. I personally don't think it would go for that much or is worth that much. It should sell if it's priced for about 1/2 of that.

However, there are some players out there with more plat then they know what to do with and are willing to spend huge money on whatever they think will improve themselves by even a small degree. Even at on a low level, situational weapon.

Sun Blade is a horrible weapon in my book...

1. It isnt a two-hander.
2. See point 1.
3. Isn't blunt

Q: Is it a weapon that is sellable on AH?
A: Yes.

Q: What is it worth?
A: Check AH for any other sunblades, price is accordingly...

Oh for the days when we use to sell them for 1 mill PLAT!

Great weapon for Deleras and maybe the Sacred Heart Tomb series.

[Bracosius]

I buy all the items on the auction house that people think are overpriced. I am responsible for any price that seems inflated. Your welcome.

Nope. It is a one-handed weapon. It's a slashing shortsword. Go figure. imho the Sunblade is not worth much plat. It is situational even amongst undead. It's slashing so it's not that great vs. skeletons who have dr/bludgeoning. Of course it is better than a regular bludgeoning weapon, but a holy or holyburst maul would be better than the sunblade in many situations, even when fighting undead.

It's a nice shortsword in general for its extra base damage and damage against evil creatures (undead aside).

I haven't used one since the risian games, though.

I am a relatively new player. I looted this f2p lvl5 with a friend and we almost vendored it. I decided to play with it and it made lvl6 to 10 real easy (ranger with undead favored). I noticed it had a name so i googled it and found this thread. put it on the AH for 1million gold today thinking no way and I'll be damned if someone didn't buy it in no time. It was maybe my 3rd time using the AH haha. So I guess it's worth a million. I probably should have asked for more considering how fast it was bought.

Too bad the AH took 30%...
