Hopefully someone can help.

I told a potential buyer i would try to find a price for this item, but i can't seem to find anything similar.

Found several instances of High Shadow Twisted Targes ranging between 2500-4000 CE, but I couldn't find one instance of a High Fire Twisted Targe.

Would appreciate any help figuring out a price for this thing.

No experience, but

generalising from known principles, I'd think it would be more valuable than a Shadow High. Many sword users use the Snarby shields *everywhere*, and since Vana is the one fight most players focus on. . . .

except that status UV's on shields are pretty gimp. it's a toss up, really.

But damage resist on shields is pretty gimp, too

What was it, one more jelly cube hit from a normal max? So yeah, toss up.

well considering jellys do

well considering jellys do piercing damage, normal max wouldn't help as much as pierce max. but I know what you mean. :p

edit: there's also the issue of LD and people not valuing shields as high anymore. :/ shame.

Poor Poetry

Asked for a price check and got a discussion of how much shield UVs just plain suck. :P (Didn't stop me buying his stun max Owlite, though.)

I can definitely vouch for

I can definitely vouch for the max stun shield resistance, i have one myself that i use almost exclusively. And before that, i used to sport a high stun shield.

Anyone that knows me in-game knows that i only wear variations of the Grey Feather Hood/Cloak, so that extra bit of protection against the tree guys and trojans and even vana has been really helpful.

I would assume that fire and shadow are equally helpful, but i don't know for sure.

Appreciate the comments though guys, i don't mind the discussion, so long as we finally arrive at an estimate. Don't like blurting out a price tag without having a fair price researched.

Any other opinions?

Yeah, I don't regret it at all

so don't get me wrong. :P

I still suspect fire would go a little higher than shadow. It'll help BTS take a mace smash with less damage to shield HP. Shadow won't do that. It has more general utility, maybe, but lots of people think of Vana first. Just my 2c.

(I gotta say, 4k CE for a Shadow High seems, well, high to me. But what do I know.)

Poetry, I saw you in front of

Poetry, I saw you in front of the AH today. You had max stun on everything! Grey feather set, and shield. And you had a flower. Kinda creepy that I remember this, but screw it. I usually inspect people I see in-game that post a lot on the bazaar/forums, because they usually have nice UVs. Somebody had a VH ASI and CTR high double UV DA, but I forgot who....mbpsc or something like that.......
I was bored, ok? I was waiting for lockdown....
And in response to your PC, I'm guessing about 4k -5k CE at a stretch.

5k ce for a high UV on a

5k ce for a high UV on a shield/armor piece seems high. and based on other high UV's I've seen on targes on the AH, I'd say 100-150k cr (about 2-2.5k). but to the right person, you could probably pull 3-4k.

Like I said

I don't think that 4k Shadow High sold at a reasonable price to begin with, so I wouldn't expect this one to go higher than that. Just higher than the usual Shadow High price, somewhat.

Yeah as much as i'd like to

Yeah as much as i'd like to get 5k CE for it, it does seem like a rather high number. I wouldn't have the nerve to ask for 5k CE. On the other hand, 2k CE seems low to me.

Based on what everyone has said (as well as my google research), it does seem the truth lies somewhere in between 2.5k on the low end and 4k CE on the high end.

Shame there isn't a precedent for this shield in another thread.

I did manage to find a 4* version listen on the forums, but no one helped the person with a price check. Seems like High Shadow is much more common, but that wouldn't really make sense, if everything were randomized the way it seems to be. Must be that the people that craft Fire UV's on this shield hold onto them or something.
