I had originally put this in the general discussions for help as to WHAt i should do with this, but i'd probably end up selling it anyway. I'm just not sure how much, or how useful it would be. I'll look into it more, but I was hoping you guys might have an idea. Here's the original post:

So I decided to craft some owlite shields using my un-used mist to turn a small profit, when all of a sudden I got a unique variant.
Turns out, the owlite shield i crafted ended up getting 3 UV, being:
1. Increased shock res: Medium
2. Increased elemental def: Low
3. Increased piercing def: Medium

I've never crafted for profit, but one UV on an item - a useless one at that, seems to bring some extra crowns. But two of these seem somewhat helpfull - especially the piercing. I could keep it to myself, but I already have a wise owlite shield, and im not into the UV's that much (not competitive), so I'm asking you:

WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS?

Use it. You can always unbind

Use it. You can always unbind it later and make a ton of money. If you don't see a difference, all the more reason to do what I just said.

Hmm, at a guess, don't sell

Hmm, at a guess, don't sell it for any less then 4000 ce. Probably worth a lot more then that though..

so it has a higher defense

so it has a higher defense rating against all but the fiends and undead?

Well if your willing to

Well if your willing to recraft it it would be SOMEWHAT worth it. The shock resist isn't really needed. The ele and piercing is good,
But you would probably be better off selling it then refilling for 1 or 2 UVs. As for pricing, auction it with offers or keep this thread open. Hope this helped!

Shock Medium: Owlite bar pegs

Shock Medium:
Owlite bar pegs out on the right so until some testing can be done, it is risky for buyers to place any value in shock/fire resist UVs. Hell, we're not even sure if regular status resists make a large impact. It was obviously only added so that people couldn't roll triple defense UVs. If testing shows that it makes a profound difference then it could be worth something but as of now, shock medium doesn't bring much to the table.

Elemental Low:
It's arguable whether or not this will make a difference. Owlite already has a ton of elemental defense. It's unlikely that this UV would allow the shield to sustain many (if any) additional hits. On a 2* owlite, low UVs fetch around 5-8k crowns.

Piece Medium:
This is probably the only real useful UV out of the bunch but even then it's questionable how much a medium UV will help. Maybe it'll tank an extra hit from a toxilargo but maybe not. Medium UVs alone seem to be worth in the 10-25k crown range.

Total appraised value: 600-1.5k CE.

If you can fool someone into giving you 4k CE for it you should do it ASAP.

Yeah, I was thinking along

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines, since it has 3 UV's, and there might be a collectors complex in the purchase ( I have UV's and you don't kinda thing).

@eek
Well, that seems to be dependent on whether or not people are willing to believe what is said about the bars - as in how much the added def and res would bring to the table. yeah, i get that it's risky, but I'd think that the added benefits, if there are any (?), would bring the price up.
But yeah, since you mentioned it, I only planned to get 5k crown profit, so cheating someone out 4kce isn't exactly a bad idea >.> I should get on that.

so thanks for the info. if you could, keep it up! And if any of the above didn't make sense, It's probably because of how late it is over here. whoops.

Right. Here is the thing though, nobody has tested it and I find it more plausible to believe that it does nothing rather than it does something substantial enough to spend a lot of resources on. I've been watching fire/shock UV'd owlites myself to try to buy one to test if having resist over what is naturally there makes a difference or not and I've seen more than a few fire/shock highs at 20k cr not even get a single bid on them. I've also seen a shock max owlite end for 7,000 crowns. I hope that answers your question as to whether or not people believe shock/fire UVs make a difference on an owlite shield that can already tank like 12 fire hits in a row before breaking.

You know what they say about fools and their money. If someone wants to pay 4k CE for a couple mediums and a low he should take it immediately, without question or hesitation.

@eek. personally speaking,

@eek.
personally speaking, I've seen prices for less desirable UV's go for more than that, but no, I can't say that they were a special occasion or not.
I'd like to think that the UV's are given benefit of the doubt, but seeing how well the status trinkets work (which they don't - literally), and how well defense trinkets work (in which they might as well not) I can see where that could be far fetched.

I hope I don't sound like a jerk, your advice is actually really appreciated.

Anyway, thanks guys. I'll try to get it all sorted out in the morning, but I'm gonna hit the hay.
Thanks for the help
