I think someone is trolling...

And if he's not then this will probably get moved to The Bazaar sub-forum where buy/sell stuff goes.

Curious as to what this originally said. x3

jeburk, 17500 Crystal Energy is ridiculous. I don't think even the newest of paying newbies would pay that prices.

How do you even get an unbound 4/5 star item?

I heard someone say something like GM craft, but I looked it up and have no idea what it is.

The only thing I can think of is an item drop, but those wouldn't have UVs.

Myaoshi - it's from back before items were automatically bound to you upon creation. You could level a 4-star to 10, make a 5-star, and it would be unbound. It just means the item is pretty old.

Speaking as someone who owns a High UV Slime Dread Venom striker, it's not worth 17.5k CE. Mine isn't even worth that much, nor would it be if it was unbound. This probably does belong in the trade forum, though. : )

So why can't u make a post on forums and check it once or twice a day? Of course not everybody check's forum but majority of players that have a large amount of CE do check forums.

Try not to be too greedy cause when unbinding patch comes out, your "unbound" sword isn't going to be so rare anymore. I rather not comment on when people overprice their items, cause sometimes they do sell, just gotta find the right person to rip off :P.

Ive seen bids on 5 star AH that are 1mill. Thats around 20k CE maybe a bit less at the going rate. Not as far fetched as you all might think. It was actually a Dread Venom Striker no UV.

Don't listen to all the people saying DVS is a bad weapon. They're all a buncha haters and scrubs that can't appreciate good weapons.

You might as well bind it to yourself and use it, cause sales are rough when it comes to any weapon that's not a brandish, sealed sword, piercing weapon or ice bomb. I blame those guilds obsessed with Vanaduke.

This should be moved to the bazaar section, misleading title is misleading

I think the main problem that everyone would agree upon is your absurd notion that even if there was someone who had money to burn in this money-burning game would actually spend not just 17K CE, but -over- that price to pay for that sort of weapon. Dread Venom Striker is admittedly useful, but I think the only time it would truly shine is in the Royal Jelly Palace. Outside of that, it's a fairly practical weapon, but not the most ideal, and certainly not the most sought after, at least until Royal Jelly Palace stops being the number one grinding place.

And in order for anyone to actually profit from this, they would need to convince someone to pay more than your baseline price, since you seem to make it clear that you have no intention of dividing your profits- at most someone would probably only make maybe 4K CE. In my view I don't see that being worth 'thousands upon thousands' for the effort you're asking. Good lucking selling it, though.

Other than the fact that it isn't worth that much.

Through my experience, someone will pay thay much for that sword. I have seen tons of not-so-great items sell for that amount.
ex. I sold 2 white chapeau last month for 17k ce each. Yes, thats more than 40$ for a hat that gives u NOTHING
Ex#2. I sold a DA for 1.5 million crowns on ah. I converted it to CE and it was almost 40k. (this was a while back)
Ex#3. I saw a vog cub coat sell for 1 mil crowns in AH 2 weeks ago, thats about 20k ce at the time.
Ex.#4. Gran fausts/fausts sell for around a mill each on AH, trust me, i bidded on them and lost.
Ex5. I recently sold a red rose set for 20k CE. Yes. Thats 50$ for a COSTUME.
Ex6. Calibur VH CTR sells for upwards of 35k. Ive seen one sell for over 40k (recently too!) thats 100$ for an item. And this happened at least 4 times. I should know, i was bidding in each of em) now, high ctr calibur is .25 seconds slower, but only costs 6-9k ce.

Truth is, some people will pay absurd prices for items they want, especially if they have lots of money and are lazy to craft/level up their own items. Call me a loser, but i follow market prices very closely. And 17.5k ce for his sword (with the uv) is NOT unsellable. It will sell, with patience. It may not be a great sword for other things except for jk, but someones gonna want it. People pay stupid prices for items that are not worth it all the time, thats the plain truth.

For all intents and purposes, this weapon is mediocre. Even at Jelly King id much rather use an archon or a nightblade. But thats besides the point. Truthfully, no one is going to buy this weapon for that much. Even with that UV, its not worth it.

At 17.5kCE, assuming 6kcr for 100CE, thats 2.8million you're asking for that weapon.
To craft this weapon, someone above did the calculations and arrived at around 200k.
Thats 1400% the price of just crafting it. Now if you consider the UV and the fact that its unbound, I feel that ~500%-600% is more reasonable. That puts your selling price at around 1-1.2mil Cr, which is still a lot of money for a mediocre weapon.

When you consider that DA that Ichiban sold for 1.5million, it puts this into perspective. Almost everyone would agree that for all purposes, a DA is as useful or more useful than the DVS even i it has a UV.

Now to address two more points.

The white/red Chapeaus are not bought by noobs or inexperienced players. They're primarily bought by experienced players with money to burn on costumes. The fact that they cant be gotten in any other way anymore adds to the value of them. And none of them are spending real money to get CE to buy them.

The reason Caliburs are worth so much is that VH UV's are extremely rare, and like i've said previously, experienced players with money to burn and nothing else to buy, want to get better weapons since its an improvement. No one who buys those caliburs spends 100$ to get CE just or that, they just have the CE sitting around from months of grinding and making money.

'At 17.5kCE, assuming 6kcr for 100CE, thats 2.8million you're asking for that weapon.'

I work it out to be 1.050M instead.
