Is the Trophy worth it?

[Redi]

As a Ranger GM brewer, I haven't bothered to make the trophy. To me, the stats aren't worth the price, and I get enough pride from my drinks that I don't need an item to remind me .

My girlfriend is a chanter GM jeweller, and she loves her tradeskill trophy.

A chacun son goût.

Re: Price

How didyou find velium bars for only 200pp, the best price with faction and cha that I have ever seen is 262pp per bar?

I have a friend who bought them in Thurg for me, the price he said they were was like 208 or so.

Sounds like your friend was being nice to you and not asking the full price for the bars. Since they are only sold on that one merchant in Thurg, I am fairly confident in the price that I listed.

I am only correcting, this because I don't want it to be misleading for others.

Yalenya

Yeah, you're probably right. Gotta love Qumdyien!!

[Ixiola]

I concur with Yalenya

Yalenya is correct. Best price for the bars are 262.5p each, as purchased by a 55 chanter with 255 charisma and ally faction. You're friend was either mistaken, purchased from someone who sold at a loss, or just being nice.

Also, someone mentioned the market price for diamonds and black sapphires as being in the 50p range. That is not true on our server. On our server diamonds run 190p, black sapphires 180p, and jacinthe 150p. So your mileage may vary.

I've estimated the cost to make the artisan seal to be around 3.5K on our server unless you find the dropped gems yourself.

This is an old thread, but of coures Diamonds are never sold below 190. That is because merchants buy them for 190!

I’m very much looking forward to making my trophy. Of course, failing to make it scares the willies out of me. I’ve been lucky and I’ve gotten the gems as loot, including one of the rubies, but it’s going to take some time to save for the other items, especially the bars. So if I fail I fear it will be some time before I’ll be able to try again. But try I will, for this is a really nice item.

I live by that +50 cha for buying/selling to vendors as well as living past the cha check on a resisted harmony. Very glad I did my trophy. Got it on the first try too

[Amur]

yes, it's definitely worth it. I only have my brewing trophy, but i use it for all my skills. The +50 CHA does wonders for the cost of smithing. That savings alone, pays for the cost of the trophy. I got my trophy on the first try, but even if i hadn't, it'd be worth it. It's also good for carrying around tons of ore when smithing. You'll never get encumbered again! I summon myself 7 bags, and with the 8th permanent bag, my weight never goes over 80 with a full inventory of blocks of ore.

For some of us who are not part of big raiding guilds, it is about the best Ranged slot item we are going to have available to us. I think it is a great achievement and a good piece of gear too.

/agree

I currently have all 7 trophies, and am wearing the Smiths' hammer in my primary, and Tailor's needle in ranged, keeping my Shield for the AC on it. Then I also have a trophy in my ammo slot, which doesn't give me stats, but just to simply show off

Is the trophy worth it?
I can only answer for me.
YES :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I did it for ME. I admit it and I'm gonna do the brewing one in a few days too. I will have all the trophies muahhahahahahaaahahaha :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

One the road to 1750 club, stop and smell the roses but don't forget to show off the shiny stuff :twisted:

[Sendar Tocs]

Ok,

let's cut the mustard....

anyone that has gone to Thug and bought Velium Bars knows, without a doubt, exactly how much they cost. 262 pp each. Minimum. Period.

The summoned bags are NO RENT. If you haven't mastered the concept of NO RENT you should probably go gank yourself now.

(Hint: Discussed in another thread.... make a hotkey for camping...

line 1: /sit on
line 2: /em thinks Hey, if you have stuff in NO RENT bags, clear it out.... OR ELSE!!
line 3: /gu Hey, everyone in the guild please remind me not to loose all our nifty stuff in that NO RENT bag I am about to send into the ether.
line 4: /camp
line 5: /em thinks NO.... REALLY!!! You>>>HAVE<<< ++NO++RENT++BAGS++

*grin*)

There was ONE GUY who said it wasn't worth it because he had failed -7- times.

Notice, he -tried- =7= times.

It was worth it to try that much.... if it really wasn't worth it... he wouldn't have.

Is it worth it to have 2 trophies?

Heck YEAH! First one to get the nifty bags (which are lots cheaper than tink bags... you can't just toss a tinks bag onto the 'destroy' button if you need to pick up a different container... 7 tradeskill bags = one trophy .... 7 tinks bags = 38k pp or more depending on faction)

Second one to get 10 more int/wis 10 more str (hey, if you are getting WR bags for SOME reason you sure as Plane of Hate want more str) and 50 more cha....

2 trophies gives you BEST PRICE with every vendor you can trade with.

Now if only they would make a portable brew barrel.... *grin*

I use mine in my range slot all the time is better then seal from 3rd shawl which I was using.
