After setting up my new account I chose the Hearth of the Home Fire. To be
honest, I am now more interested in creating a fireplace using in-game
objects, so I was considering selling it. Question is, how much for? I was
hoping for something in the region of at least 500K, if not more... only a
guess, but...?

Well, i've seen people trying to hock them for 1-2million, but no one's biting.
The problem with the 7th Anni gifts is that everyone's going to get them come
Sept., regardless of whether they bought the box or not, so there's no real
market demand for them, atm.

The Samurai helm, especially, is becoming a nice dust collector on vendors,
being priced at 2.5 million, usually.(it's only a dci helm with 60 resists, and
i got mine for free, as has everyone actually interested in using them.)

There's also the fact that if someone wants a gift, all they really need to do
is go online, or go to a store, buy a copy of the 7th anni box and bingo,
they've got a gift.

You might be able to get the 500k, but with the market basically consumed by
artifacts and...ugh...Sigil items, you might be bank sitting for awhile...

*Can anyone tell me WHY they made Sigil Items legal?? Walking into town only to
see every other person wearing bright, bleeding, lavenderish purple clothes &
weapons is making me avoid cities even more than i used to. Blaze was bad
enough, thanks EA...*

What I find interesting is that folks are willing to let high priced
sit without moving essentially forever...

Actually you paid $10 for it and $10 for the extra Character slot.
I STILL can not make Ultima 9 work right.

What's wrong with U9? Cleansed runes getting lost at the shrines?

Hogwash. I'm past my third anniversary, and things are pretty much
the same as they ever were on that front.

I would bet a large sum of gp that EA doesn't have the source code to U9.
OSI was infamous for losing source code.

You mean like Lord Touch of Clas ? =P There are a couple in Haven,
if "Wizard of Love" would goto Luna and check his proces against
Clas, he would have more customers.

GOOD!! It's about time LOL. I knew there was a reason I gave that
thing a WIDE berth when leaving Cyrus' house the last few times. I
think Ice is just anti-social, you can't even step up to the porch on
her house....

They just became simple +35 damage weapons. You know - the kind any GM
smith can pound out by the million. A vanquishing katana used to be
supreme. Now it's smelting fodder.

All the various abilities now on weapons are interesting but I'd still
like customized, nameable weapons that gain abilities with foes defeated.

My barbed runic kit gave me one piece of 68 resists and mana regen 2...that
is worth a fair bit in anyone's book I reckon. I know what you mean, but the
mechanics of the game are such that a suit of roughly 70s across the board
does make life a LOT easier. In my case, I won't buy the pieces, only craft
then or enhance loot. I'm tight and broke, and I enjoy the collecting of it,
often more than the using of it :)

Used to charge 25k for a Val plate suit...but made a Doom suit for someone I
met the other day....he insisted on giving me 100k for it, althoug I wasn't
after any more than 10 or 20. Shows how too much money is in the game
nowadays. For me as an aspiring (or failing ) vendor, the economy is the
biggest problem in the game.Insurance? Get rid of it. Then we might be able
to sell weapons again!

That's because my room mates have some non-fighter characters and they
do now like to wake up to "red ants" in the house. I would much rather
have an open house, but with an ant hole as close as that one to the house,
its not safe. Drop by some time when I am there, and I will grant access.

Well, any owner or co-owner can hide 100% in their homes now, so you could
just do that and leave the house open. I guess that wouldn't help if you
were logging in with a pet though.

Sure, there may even be a "buy one, get one free" offer on the vendor ATM...

My necro is studying hiding and I did so with a little blue
vacuume following me. When I hid, he did too.

Aye, the smithing BOD system has never given me more than a bronze runic
hammer; although I've had a few of those, they are still only any good for
weapons. Tailoring seems to me to be running about right, except maybe it is
too easy to get a scroll.

depressing PS - It doesn't get any better when you get to legendary smith!!

Would you please put a drop chest or keg where I can get to it in your house?
I have some BOD's that will get you some runic's and other stuff. I can never
find you at home when I am on.

Jeeze... Seems the smith BOD system is even more gimped than I'd
thought. I've gotten 2 BODs worth a barbed runic kit with my tailor in
the last week. I would think that given metal armor's current
inferiority to the leather variety it would at least be easier to get
the equipment to make useable sets of it.
