Hrm... Ungodly Rare Drop... I Think? (Help?)Follow

Hey All -

Was soloing with my Enchanter tonight and came upon a Blue two arrow up Mob, the name of the mob doesn't really matter in this case, as far as I know.

But after killing him a Treasure chest appeared, it was not the normal wooden chests we see, but about 10x the size of that and made of Iron. Upon opening the chest I was promptly hit for 370 Damage and killed.

I ran back, and opened it, I had to stare the item inside the chest for a moment before realizing what it was, at which point just abuot everyone in the zone seemed to spam, "Grats" and tell me I should be set Financially for awhile now.

The item that dropped is a Spell, but not Adept I... nor II, nor III, nor IV....

It was a spell called "Seism - Master I" I heard that this is only the 3rd or 4th Master spell to drop on Lucan D'Lere... and was told it should go for 20 Gold easy... I had my friend check the marketplace, and was told the highest spell for sale now is Adept III... and this is a rather substantial step above that.

My question, has anyone else seen a Master spell drop? Any idea how much I should be asking for, and lastly, does anyone know how rare it is to get a Master spell too drop? All help would be appreciated, thanks.

Aye, my friend. I have had several people now tell me that 20g is too low... and too put it up for a good chunk more and wait it out if nobody has that money right now. It's funny, I had some guy tonight offer me 5 Adept I Spells, 5 Advanced Tailoring Books, some Crappy Earring, and 70 sp and when I balked at him he stated, "You wont get the earring from anyone else." to which I promptly found someone selling the earring for 10 silver.

I wish there was a site that showed the odds of getting a Master spell too drop. I should have known it was something interesting just because the freaking Treasure Chest was so big compared to the others, I didnt think about that till after I looted, however.

Just... glad nobody else was in the group with me !

The great part about this item is its rare and worth alot of coin.

The sad part is not many have the coin to afford the absurd price it would cost, and by the time they do many many more of those would have droped lowering the value significantly.

Thanks for the replies guys....

I just wish I knew what to ask, its a shame if it is actually worth LESS than Adept III spells somehow, I dont think thats the case for most spells because.... well, Master is better than Adept, and from what I hear once you get a Master scroll its a permanent in your inventory.

I'm not sure if a Master Scroll becomes outdated or not, I wouldnt think it would go grey considering the level skill to use it is, "Legendary" according to the scroll itself.

Maybe I will sell for a couple gold... say 5 gp to 10 if I can get it (I say this because not alot of people have coin...) and my Enchanter would be set for quite awhile...

I just hope I dont make a huge mistake and undersell it significantly.

My current offer is 1.5 gp and a couple of items.... worth about antoher 1 gp...

Some people are screaming at me not to sell for this, others are telling me thats what its worth...

.... I dont know what to do, and feel afriad... very, very afraid... >.<

Are you sure you won't need it yourself later on?

Still haven't figured out exactly how to see what items or spells I can use, but if this spell is indeed extremely rare, best make sure that you won't need it yourself later on.

SUre sounds nice :-).

Well I am a lv 14 Summoner and I would guy it for 10gp if I had the cash. Put it this way Seism is the first AOE Dot and Debuff that the Summoner can get it is a lv 16 spell. The Summoner doe not get another AoE spell until they become lv22 and pick their final profession. With that spell a Summoner at lv 16 would kick so much A$$...Everyone would want to party with you. Just get someone to agro a mob and the whole thing would go down...you would be able to level up so much faster and take on harder nasties meaning better drops...get it. It is well worth 10gp because it would enable you to get better drops yourself and you would make that back in no time. The only problem is that who has 10gp at lvl 16? Hell if I know. At least not me I dont even have close to 1gp. In a month you could get that easily but then in a month will 10gp really be that much to you. Probably not. I would sell it for what you can get for it now if you want to do something with the cash like get some seriously bas a$$ aromor that will help you too take on tougher mobs increasing the chances that you can get drops like that again. Just my 2cp

I believe it makes people hate you because you are undercutting everyone. That is what drives game economies down... well it is at least one of many contributory factors. Personally when I price things I check the going rate and mark it at the most common price, or an average of all the prices. It WILL eventually sell, if it doesn't slowly people work the prices down untill they see they start selling at that price.

When you immediately drop an item to a low sell price it skews the numbers for future selling.

If I don't see something within my price range on the 'bazaar' I wait till I find similar or better. It is all supply and demand.

Oh trust me I know exactly why they hate to see my stuff for sale. I charge a reasonable rate and they all crank the prices way up! I think it is unethical (in a game world at least) to charge three times as much for an item..... example if I can refine vanilla beans into high grade vanilla for the cost of coal and water then I will charge the cost of coal and water plus a very small amount for my time. coal 6c, water 6c, my time 5 - 7 c. Seems fair enough to me. Others will charge 2 silver for high grade vanilla. I think it's an outrage. Same with app spells.... they dont cost all that much to make yet they're being sold for insane amounts of silver, even GOLD! I don't know anyone who has made a decent amount of silver enough to upgrade armor, weapons AND apps let alone adepts. I intend to sell low for as long as I can. Until my personal expenses rise at least folks will be able to find affordable top quality goods in my shop. I'm not in the game to make money.... seems like most others are and I think it takes away from the fun if we cannot afford upgrades due to the outrageous prices. Again though, to each his own.

I am just sad that you are not on my server with an attitude like that Optycalillusion , prices are way out there on my server right now , its sad. To get 2 spell upgrades just to app3 you are looking at over 80s on my server. I have 5 spells right now that I want to take to app 3 level but everytime I look for them they are listed at 40sp and up , also we are not talking level 40 spells lol these are all level 12 and up to level 17 spells . I cant afford gear and spells , just keeping my spell book up to date keeps me broke .

Grats on the master spell tho , what a prize :)

I would hold onto it and check prices occassionally. Maybe a Master sells for 1-2g now, but thats only because nobody has much more than that. Wait a while and I guarantee prices will go up. Before you know it Masters could be selling for plats.

Also, at least on my server, Seism (Adept I) has got to be the most common drop. Everytime I'm in Antonica 2 or 3 people are trying to sell that. I ended up just selling mine to the vendor for 3 silver. Could be a sign of things to come for the Master version.

I doubt he's lying. My group had a Master spell drop in Blackburrow a couple weeks ago. It was a normal sized chest though. I think it was a bard spell.
