Would anyone buy this?

Decided to use my bronze runics, and crafted lots of armor like the one below. Maybe I should start selling. Don't know how much gold anyone would pay for this. Any ideas?

Re: Would anyone buy this?

Sure it can sell, it does depend on the shard though. Look around on your shard in luna find the armor vendors, see if you can find a piece with similar stats. That will give you a baseline for your shard. Yes it takes some work but you can then judge your market better and if you want undercut your competition. You might make less money per piece but generate more visits (more potential purchases) over time.

It's nice but personally I wouldn't use it for the lack of MR or Luck. On Drach I'd estimate it would fetch 100k...

You mean something like this?



I'm also in Drachenfels, not so crowded, it is so difficult to sell anything. Bu I'll give it a shot anyway.

Re: Would anyone buy this?

What I believe Merion meant was the LRC/LMC coupled WITH Mana Regen. For a mage, the LRC/LMC is nice, but they also want MR. However, rarely do you get all three AND good resists, so I think the piece still has value. It would fetch more than 100k on GL, but probably not a lot more. Personally, for bronze runic hammers, the only thing I do with them is make weapons. It's tough to make armor nicer than what a barbed runic kit can pump out unless you use a higher end hammer, and even there I prefer to make weapons. I have this weapon fetish.............

Re: Would anyone buy this?

Frankly, the piece seems less desirable to me than a Rune Beetle Carapace. However, and depending on your Shard, those items can be expensive or difficult to find.

I concur with jfk: Barbed kits are the way to go for armor. You will always have a med-able piece if you craft leather, so it's like one free property - or at least it makes it slightly easier to craft that perfect piece you need.

Had this piece had MR, LMC and LRC it would have been worth much more. Of course, it would also have had fewer resists...
