Item:
5-star sword Leviathan Blade (calibur model, normal damage, UV Attack Speed Increased low)
Starting bid: 3.5k CE
Buy now price: 9k CE
Note: 4k CE for unbinding is not included.

Auction starts after the first offer.
Auction will last 24 hours after the first offer.

IGN: Round-Shinigami
Feel free to make an offer below starting bid, no promise I'll sell it to you though.
I leave myself right to reject any specific buyer/bid as I see fit.

-update-
Used the new "UV gamble" system, spent over 1k CE and got ASI low. Price has been modified to reflect this.

What a deal, buy a sword for

What a deal, buy a sword for 10,000 CE when it cost less than 2000 CE to get recipes, materials and energy to make one by yourself, plus a single UV

What a deal.

lol, an auction aswell, i recon less than 2k ce to get one yourself... lets work it out :P

50ce initial creation
200ce 3* upgrade
400ce 4* upgrade
800ce 5* upgrade

All the materials dirt cheap and recipes about 600ce... actually by my calculation it more like 2050ce :P

Then again you do get a 40% chance (ish) of a UV...

@olajdzija Thanks for info,

@olajdzija
Thanks for info, updated.

@randomthing
Lets calculate it.

Recipes:
Calibur - 1.000
Tempered Calibur - 4.000
Ascended Calibur - 10.000
Leviathan - 25.000
Recipes total:
40.000 crowns

Materials.
Note that auction prices fluctuate all the time, so prices are approximate.
Calibur:
5 Light Shards (15cr each)
2 Bronze Bolts (17cr each)
2 Sword Stones (200 each)
400 crowns
50 energy

Tempered Calibur:
10 Light Shards (15cr each)
3 Bronze Bolts (17cr each)
2 Sword Stones (200 each)
1 Force Dynamo (400 each)
1000 crowns
200 energy

Ascended Calibur
Heat lvl 5 for Tempered Calibur (hours and hours of play)
15 Light Shards (15cr each)
4 Bronze Bolts (17cr each)
3 Sword Stones (200 each)
2 Force Dynamo (400 each)
1 Silver Coil (200 each)
2500 crowns
400 energy

Leviathan
Heat lvl 10 for Ascended Calibur (few days of play)
20 Light Shards (15cr each)
5 Bronze Bolts (17cr each)
4 Sword Stones (200 each)
3 Force Dynamo (400 each)
2 Silver Coil (200 each)
1 Sun Silver (6500 each)
5000 crowns
800 energy

Sum of all materials:
50 Light Shards (750 crowns, approx)
14 Bronze Bolts (238 crowns, approx)
11 Sword Stones (2200 crowns, approx)
6 Force Dynamo (2400 crowns, approx)
3 Silver Coil (600 crowns, approx)
1 Sun Silver (6500 crowns, approx)
Materials total price:
12.688 crowns (250 CE)

Total energy cost:
1450 energy
Add 500 CE (50 dungeons) on heating up weapons (lvl 5 is easy, lvl 10 takes days).

Total: 3000 CE + time for heat accumulation. Price is approximate.

Any more questions?
PS:
Chance you'll get no UV at all is: 0.9x0.9x0.9x0.9 = 0.6561, or about 66%.
Chance to get crappish UV (low/med vs undead/construct/slime/fiend/beast/gremlin, where bonus damage doesn't make any difference) is another 33%.
Basically, you have a 99% chance to get a normal Leviathan Blade after you spend 1 week and 3k CE on making and upgrading it.

I got lucky with gamble - in 4 tries (60k crowns or 1.2k CE) I got ASI low (attack speed increased). Its a minor bonus but this one actually makes a difference - you can make more swings in the same time compared to no UV.
Post updated to reflect current situation with the blade.

Hate to tell you..But the

Hate to tell you..
But the prices youre basing off of on auction house arent selling.. At all
And a non uv 5* sells for like.. 6-8k CE with the current market prices. Theres just an overflow of good 5* gear that ppl cant profit off them.. A lot of ppl only get like 2-3k CE profit. Youre asking for too much

EDIT: I do see a non uv Levi on AH right now.. current bid: 115k cr. which is roughly 2.3k ce :P fyi

Tons of time? Nit if your doing jelly and only leveling one thing at a time. I got my Skolver set In about 2 hours. (1 hour each) but anyway, yeah, that's kinda overpriced.

@Ichiban2Go
There is a limited supply of leviathan blades (takes a while to make it) and unlimited (potential) demand for them. If mine doesn't sell now, I'll just keep it for a little while longer, just enough for existing offers to sell ;)

@BigFootM
Heat lvl 10 in 10 dungeons? Won't believe it till I see it. Just make 10 vids of you going on an elevator and receiving heat, it will be both good enough and short enough.

Once again, it doesn't take long if you do what I do/did. Takes only a few hours if you already have everything (Mats,recipes, etc. ) but anyway hood luck selling.

Um..... I can't even sell my

Um..... I can't even sell my UV Sentenza (a rare, hard to get and expensive weapon to level up) for 6k ce, Id lol if your blade is worth more than the unbind price, if you already unbound it in hopes of making a fortune then is sucks to be you :P

Didn't know it needed a sun silver though... so maybe add 200 ce to the priceing i gave

+ Leviathan is not that good of a blade + its the most readily avaliable one in the game

Good luck, but you made a loss on your unbind price if you think this will sell, cut your losses and sell it for 4k ce

Oh, and good luck :)

I never spend money in hopes

I never spend money in hopes of making more. I only spend money after being sure I'll make more - in front of the buyer xD Didn't unbind it yet.

@randomthing
Your offer as in... 3k for making and 4k for unbinding? Thats 7k total, add 0.5k CE and you have a valid bid! :D

Leviathan is THE BEST sword in game. Let me explain:
- its attack speed is balanced (not too fast and uncontrollable as cutter's, not slow and leaving you vulnerable for a while as sealed sword)
- its charged attack does a 360-degree swing with good kickback, getting you out of almost any situation, unlike any other sword (none has 360 degree radius)
- its attack type is normal, good against any kind of enemy
Perfect combination!

FOV? Fang of Vog?
Seen anyone using it? I'll ask in a different way: do you know a single person who would deliberately set themselves on fire? :D
Besides, 14 Vanaduke kills aren't that simple.

PS: Fang of Vog is same Leviathan Blade with slightly modified damage type.

3 points to make

1) Fang of vogs spec is strong enuf to kill royal jelly in just a few hits and I have seen 3 or 4 people use it and still use the spec.... it owns whatever it touches :P
2) A GF/DA combo is soooooo much more powerful, reliable, defensive, offensive and everything else than a Leviathan
2 1/2)I hate it when other people use Leviathan, the only good thing is the spec and thats just annoying for everyone elso on the team to have towers thrown in there face when they half way thru attacking :( Spin attack spamming is not a way to make friends :P
2 3/4) no, sorry, I meant 3K Including the unbind fee :P
3) I like your optimism, but honestly, well done for not unbinding and my advice is to just keep the sword... its not really worth the cost to unbind it :( less you take it to the UV adder and get lucky, my DA just got an ASI low though.... i suppose its alright because with full vog it boosts ASI to Maximum :D

I know I went over 3 but I thought of a few more :P

You seem like a nice guy but i'm affraid your on the very optimistic side.... look at the bazaar forum, people selling divine avengers with UV for 5.5k ce...

oops theres another point :P

*EDIT*
That one you saw on the AH for 900,000 was a relic from a time before the last update :P damm, too many good points :P

Well whether or not its the

Well whether or not its the best sword, theres one in AH for less than 5k CE. And yeah, even DA's are selling for lower than ur starting bid, with uv's too! And DA's are much more demanded than levi imo

EDIT: the 115k cr leviathan on AH is still there. lolol

The 700k Levi was sold for at

The 700k Levi was sold for at least 900k in front of me. There was a 700k offer at that time, with a UV, too...
DA suxx. Its so slow I can't get my shield up in time. I can if I only do 1 swing, but then damage would be less than Levi's 2-3 swings, where I can get shield up at any point of time. Everyone wants a sealed blade till they get it and play around with DA. Then they switch back to Levi :D
I don't mean DA doesn't do insane kickback or doesn't do insane damage. I mean DA will slow you down to the point enemies will kill you faster than you kill them. Especially on 3rd tier where tons of enemies do "insta-backstab" move where with DA you won't be able to set up shield in time/swing the right direction.
Friends? Those crazed fellas who just die all the time, eat away 3/4 or more of total loot and don't even try to take jelly king down, running after the small jellies? I play solo, thank you. No, I don't think SK is a "MMO" game. It got MMO lobby, thats for sure, but the game with monsters is a 4-player co-op. There are few good players who are an asset to the team, not liability, but those are pretty rare.

There are tons of cheap offers because people are selling stuff they don't plan to use again. The thing is: this stuff will be sold out soon and only few offers will remain. Like mine :D
I'd rather calculate it all and plan it out that rush with optimism into the fire of battle :P

PS: I can spend 500k (10k CE) on lottery with 1 UV (highest chance for something useful) and still get nothing. I know how lotteries work, so thanks but no thanks. 3-way UV lottery is a different story, though. It offers real benefit of having multiple protections on same piece of armor. Maybe I'll take my chance with my Skolver Coat one day when I have over 10kk crowns :D

Your 2nd point is wrong,

"2) A GF/DA combo is soooooo much more powerful, reliable, defensive, offensive and everything else than a Leviathan"

I stopped reading after that.

Also to OP, your Levi blade is OP, not overpowered, but over priced. =)
Everyone else is saying the same thing sooo something is wrong huuuh?

You only get burned if you use charge with a FOV, when zi do get burned it's only for 3-5 seconds. Plus, some people DO set themselves on fire to sell heat. Anyway hood luck reselling.

Updated the sword with ASI low.
Increased price accordingly.
Moved unbinding fee outside of auction price.
Lowered buy price.
Added a possibility to negotiate a buying price lower than starting bid. Note that I will ignore offers below 6.2k CE total.

Thank you, Teos, for the cost analysis

I don't think it's fair to include the cost of the recipes, though, since we use those over and over again. I had figured the cost at around 6.5 ce. Selling for less than that is selling at a loss.

I honestly don't get this, he says (quite generously I might add) that the upper price is 7k, so you put in the STARTING BID to be 500 ce more than his (generous) upper limit.... wow, its as if you don't want it to sell :P
