Okay, I have a Dark Thorn Blade with Asi very high, and another knight approached me saying they were willing to trade a fang of vog, 2000ce and a swift flourish to get my sword. The Uv on my dark thorn blade is very useful. What should I do?!

It's worth 20k CE+.

There's your answer.

Barbarous Thorn Blade is the BEST piercing weapon!

your blade is amazing with the UV you have
Don't trade unless someone will trade you 10k CE, 5* armor, helm, weapons, and shield
I'm jealous of your blade

actually u can sell it cause they give u fang of vog, 2000ce and a swft flourish i think u should trade it but make the ce higher until 5kce at least.

Sigh.

If you don't know much about the issue being discussed, why speak as if you're knowledgeable? That sword is worth 20-30k CE. Your advice is horrible, both of you.

P.S. Stormrader, BTB is no better or worse than FF.

not necessarily, he might prefer the BTB's charge attack better.

don't

i say if your happy with your blade don't trade it, think about it.

FoV you can get for free if you do FSC a lot.

FF is 1 notch higher than dark thorn, and with that kind of blade it shouldn't take to long until you have the
resources for BTB.

and 2k crowns is not a hole lot.

take my advice: keep it, if you trade you'l regret later on. (first hand bad experience)

Well

Well probably no one will listen to me but look, are you all 5 star? if not sell the blade but for a nice 20k ce and become 5 star, if you already are 5 star keep it.

@Flowchart

Yes, that's why it's neither better nor worse. It's pure preference.

@Purifier-Dragon, he was offered a 2k CE top-up, not 2kcr. But it's still way way way too low.

Sold!!

Well I ended up selling it when I realised the swift flourish I was being offered had damage bonus vs beast very high, and I also got 5k ce instead of 2k. I also currently have ash tail armour which I plan to upgrade to vog cub, which will give me a speed boost. Anyways, thanks for your advice.

Bad decision still...

I don't think damage bonuses are worth all that much, and I think that knight just made some nice profit...

Still a very bad decision.

Still a very bad decision. Beast VH is no where near as valuable as ASI VH, especially considering that you'll probably eventually have damage vs everything max anyway.

Wow.

Why did I even bother giving you advice? You sold that thing for a fraction of its worth. (FYI, the Flourish was worth 700-1250 CE. A pittance.) I'd have gladly bought the BTB for twice what you got, and it'd still be a bargain.

Congratulations on making the biggest loss of your SK career. You will never again have a weapon as good as what you had, or as much CE as you could have gotten.

You do know that I am

You do know that I am eventually going to get vog cub, which has Asi very high anyways. Paired with an elite quick strike module I will get Asi maximum.

Wow despite all the advice

Wow despite all the advice you got, you still sold it? Getting a snarby or skolver set would be better since the damage bonus applies to all monster families, while the VH beast only works on beast family (which are dead easy). In LD, your VH beast is useless. And you also sold that blade for a quarter of what its worth too, like derpules said. In short IMO you got ripped off.

Nah.

He did it to himself. He had a perfectly good price check and he chose to go ahead and throw it away. The buyer's initial offer was dodgy, but by the time the sale was made, I'd have to say he got it fair and square.

A fool and his UVs are soon parted.

Processing Thoughts of You Always

Aaaaand this is why you should always post items for sale up on the Bazaar before you even think of selling. You're not going to be using Vog Cub all the time; at other times other non-ASI granting armour will be necessary, such as Snarbolax, Skolver or more defensive armour.

You just lost out on about 10k CE.

That's not even an excuse. I gave him a perfectly good (minimum) price check in my first comment. He still went and derped.

Can I sit down? The sky is swirling around.

These are the kind of people that made me rich, accepting the first offer they get, never pricing it higher. >=3

Should've just swooped in, outbid by 1k CE, and laughed.

Don't know why I bother trying to be helpful. :P It never seems to make a difference. My favourite bit is "oh I was going to get Vog anyway". Um, and this is a reason to throw away >10k CE. . . why, exactly?

I remember when I P/Ced someone's Freezing VAP CTR VH, saving him from taking a 3k CE lowball. And then he still sold it for like 15k CE (which was low at the time). And then he used the CE to buy pre-made 5*s from other players.

*sigh*

Note to self: Exploit silly people. Don't try to save them.
