Will look at stuff from either server, but if offering in 1a bear in mind the exchange rate isn't anywhere near 10:1 anymore.

If offering in main, might take a shiney paladin (5er+) and gold / high end items.

Leave an offer on here please and what equipment your bid includes with the character. If you'd just like to bid on items, please do so on the items for sale thread. Again, leave an offer here, I'm not on nearly as much as I had been and it would save me the time of just posting the offer here myself.

noticed this on all 4 of ur posts, but what exactly does "the exchange rate isn't anywhere near 10:1 anymore" mean? since its still 10:1 on an everyday basis so ima little confused

[Autek]

I highly doubt anyone can log on and swap back and forth for 10:1 at will. There is very little multi gold out there looking to be traded for 1a gold, and what gold there is out there would likely require a premium over the regular 10:1 to change hands. It's really just supply and demand.



Currently there is an increased demand for multi gold, while the amount of multi gold out there willing to be traded for 1a gold has decreased, or at the least remained the same. The demad curve is shifted to the right to increase the quantity sold (traded in our case), which creates a new equilibrium price. So because of the disparity between current supply and demand, the price must increase if that demand is to be met.

Haha I havnt laughed so hard in months. What a clown!

And as a note the druid is worth as much as people are willing to pay for it, which is why it never sells as you think it and the staff are worth so much more then they actual are!

[PrimeX85]

lol... just wow

[Apocalypto]

Gotta agree though.. You said it yourself... "10:1 if you can find anyone to trade to that dead server"... which means if trading main you would probably want more than 10:1...

[Autek]

I'd be surprised if there were much gold out there that were willing to be traded at 5:1, let alone 10:1 with how few people play 1a anymore. I mentioned where I believe the exchange rate is now so that people can know how their potential offers will stand against another.

As for the druid not selling. . . Well I was at one point ready to sell it along with the Rune Staff and Veridian Charm for 70m main, but he needed time to get the gold and it fizzled out over time. The thing is borderline priceless though, with so few level 40's period let alone the most well rounded class there is with 5 stats perfect and very nice HP. . . Of course it would take the right price to actually part with it.

The same goes for the Rune Staff. The only other one in game I believe is in Scripto's possession and there is about 0% chance that will ever change hands again. If there is anyone out there who wants one of the oldest questies in the game along with it's amazing vamparic rate (especially in combination with this druid breaking triple digits with .6 vamp /drool), of course it's going to take the right price.

I agree with things only being worth what people are willing to pay, but it takes a market to drive prices, and there really isn't a developed market for these things as they're one (or two in the case of the Rune Staff) of a kind.

[Cadabra]

You serious bro? You can make a lot of gold on main in minutes...

If the ratio isn't 10:1 then there's some ripping off going on.

Even when people were trading you was still offering 8:1 if that.

Also an Fyi, if people wanted a lvl 40 on main they could easily by using 1 character like you did, but instead they lvl their full party.

[DefectiveBomb]

roflmfao seriously a chart who does that bahahahahaha

[IXThunderDomeXI]

Flame on!

[Autek]

Thought it might help people understand supply and demand.

Now lets keep this thing on topic. I'm not sure which server I'll end up playing, but it'll be whichever one I don't sell my character on first. Again I'd like to go back to my old paladin days even though I'd imagine they still suck pretty hard, but it'd be fun anyways.

[Snoopy]

And as a note the other rune staff is mine and I have it on a cleric because it looks pretty but is pretty useless.

[Terron]

yeah pallies suck for speed training but thats bout it.

[Abstract]

Ste and I tested the Rune staff vs cobalt ages ago. Cobalt won.

[Cruxis]

I'll say this again since this thread reminded me of it.

Since most people using 15-17 attackers on main, I'm at a loss why the ratio isn't just 15:1

[Terron]

lol

[Autek]

Cobalt doesn't do double the damage that the Rune Staff does, so the Rune Staff has a higher per round vamp. The main reason I use it is not only because it allows me to solo pretty much anything within reason (those who know me know 95% of the time I've played main has been on a single character), but I can also solo the Elder Treant in a single trip whereas with the Balt I'd have to either throw in some potions or just die and run back. I'm sure the Rune Staff doesn't do enough damage to win PvP in comparison to a Cobalt, but running solo on a druid there's no comparison for survival PvM.

[IXThunderDomeXI]

I've killed ET with a single cobalt druid without dying or throwing pots.

[Autek]

Well so have I, and I'm sure most people who regular it, but it's not a lock every time (unless I want to sit there unmorphed with just Gaea's and armor spells up the whole time). I'd guess of all the ET kills on Autek, 50ish of them were before I had the Rune Staff, and I might have killed it in one trip morphed without dying or throwing pots maybe 30-40% of the time. With the Rune Staff though (so long as I'm paying attention lol ) I won't die.

It's definitely a weapon for those who play solo, no doubt about it because whether you've got .3 vamp and a higher base or .6 vamp and a lower base, in a party you rarely need all the vamp, only on a few bosses really.

Neither here nor there though, lets keep it bids only, or at least relative to the sale of the character.


I've gotten a few memo's about paladins people have, but both have been halflings. I'd much prefer a human if there are any out there, but may settle for a ling if need be.

[IXThunderDomeXI]

Are you still interested in selling this?
