Why are these so incredibly rare? You see other 2 star items with vhigh CTR for sale from time to time (i.e. Brandishes and Flourishes) but a Calibur? Forget about it. The only one I've seen was a dude who was selling a vhigh CTR CIV (what an epic blunder turning it into a CIV btw). Other than that one time I've never even seen one up for trade, let alone in game.
If I had to guess why, it's because of Swordstones. For ex, Brandishes require 2 Beast Scales and 2 Monster Bones, both of which drop often and are basically worthless (50-100cr each). Swordstones don't drop as often and easily sell for 400cr each, so that's 800cr for each one.
BUT EVEN SO... how many of us have ragecrafted countless Caliburs? Quite a few, including myself, and you just never see a vhigh CTR for trade. Rarely even see a high CTR, for that matter.
Anyone think there's a lower percentage for a vhigh CTR Calibur compared to similar items or is it because of Swordstones meaning less Caliburs overall are crafted?
Anyway, WTB Swordstones. IGN = Green-Lantern
Mmm. Some people out there just don't sell it :P. BUT THEY HAVE IT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE! I personally got extremely lucky when I was a noobie and the two caliburs I crafted for my girlfriend and I became UVs. One of which was a HIGH CTR. So :P. UV is all about random chance, and I do think that swordstones are a turn off to mass crafting these things. =T
