Legacy no ML spectacles +10 Int +20 Bluff

[Draegnar]

Hi everyone,

I was doing a spring cleanup and found this on one of my old Twink:



Looks like a gorgeous TR item to me, what would be a fair trade for it ?

Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately, not as much as you think. They nerfed those some time back and made them ML14 I believe. I had a set of +10 Int, +10 Resistance goggles that were my go to twink item that is now still quite good, but not overwhelming like it was.

I just found another such wondrous item (+10 STR +50 HP) which indeed show a ML 14.

But, as you can see on the screenshot, this is not the case for these Spectacles.

The *fair* value would be the value for the item at ML14, which is not very high.

Because as soon as someone equips them and then relogs, they will become ML14. The fact that they are not showing up as ML14 is temporary. I had many of these items in my TR cache at one time...they showed no ML until I pulled them out and tried to equip them below ML 14.

On the other hand, if you want to take money from some poor unsuspecting mark, feel free to jack up the price. The sad truth is that anything on the AH must come with a "buyer beware" caveat.

If they actually stayed no ML, they would be quite valuable. But they won't...

So the only way to know for sure is to equip a BTCoE item, that's depressing...

Thanks anyway.

Unfortunately this is just an artifact of the item not going through a refresh trigger. As soon as you equip it and relog, put it in shared bank, or TR and pull it out of your cache, it will refresh to the ML 14. If you equip it on a toon under 14, it will not provide the benefits. While they are still stronger than the items for that level stat wise, I've stopped bothering as +3 higher to a stat on an item that breaks like glass (it has the durability of a lvl 1 item still even after the ML 14 refresh) doesn't outweigh Ravenloft/Sharn and Cannith Crafted for me.

That said, it's not entirely impossible that you got some kind of exception (none of my dozen or so wonderous items were sadly). You can safely test it without binding the item: if you can put it in your shared bank and pull it back out and have it stay level 1, you might have something there.
