No.

Can I remind people that we don't care how much storebought or +1 stuff you have, as we don't need to remove that from the economy

Ugh, so roughly, for me to get a +3 whip to use instead of my +3 shortsword, I'd have to trade in an additional 8 +3 weapons/items just to change weapon type? Ouuuuuch.

I mean, I can maybe see for some non palate stuff, but ouch. I don't think trading in a bag and a half of good loot is gonna even come CLOSE to what I'd aim for, but I may as well get it priced, since alot of it doens't follow that guide.

What, for example, is a Robe of Scintillating Colors worth? (Low Light Purple, Unlimited Daze, Displacement 1/day)

Also, Rod of Eagle's Splendor, Eagle's Splendor 3/day.

Elven Chainmail (+3 Armor, with +6 Hide+MS and -40% weight reduction)

Amulet of Acid Resistance 20/-

Other stuff too, but I wouldn't even begin to know what those are worth?

You're right, the trade-in value of PCs items IS low. But remember the whole point of the trade-in is to get the over-abundance of magic items out of the economy. That's all. It's not meant to give 1:1 value for each magic item a PC has.

It requires the player to "take one for the team" in order to help Hala get it's economy balanced(or as close as we can get to balanced). So it's a small sacrifice for the bigger picture.

Think of it this way: The more stuff that gets turned in, the better chance that Hala can link up with other worlds who are concerned with the amount of magic items here.

P.S. I would PM the Team with non pallette items to get their trade in value.

P.P.S. the best way to get something like a +3 whip (and not feel like you're getting screwed), is to just get involved with some plots and RP your butt off. I know you can do that!

Hope that helps.

Can we please keep the excessive commentary out of the sticky news threads. If it does not directly relate to the item trade in via question or response, then guess what. It does not belong in this thread.

Is the trade in still valid or has it run it's course? If it is still going on, who's in charge right now? Still Arkon?

Just wondering.

Bump on this. Any final word on if it's over or not?

After visiting Zach's in Avlis I was shocked to discover that they are so flooded with +2 items that they wouldn't even take my +2 composite shortbow in trade. This leaves me with a bunch of +2 items that are only making the flooding problem worse, yet cost me an arm and a leg to get so I hope I can get SOMETHING in trade for them. Would be nice if I could trade them in this way!

Zachs aka" FFT" and Privateer Enterprises is well.. yeh. I dont think you can really base anything off them except to say that magic items on Avlis are on a different scale then Hala currently. And personally i like working hard for what you get on Hala but i guess i have tested the grass on both lawns now and seen which is green to my eyes *shrugs*

Hi, thought I would chime in. My PC is one of the main workers at zach's//fft. Comming here for the first time in a long long time has blown me away at the economy here. It is so much better than avlis. Gold here acctually has value. When things go for 2 mill easily its nice to see things not inflated. Now there are many reasons why gold has no value on avlis but I wont bore you lot on my thoghts. So you lot here have it good here, really good. just my 2 cents.

Echo that

1) they allowed a HUGE exploit called gemcrafting to allow anyone with much time on their hands to become easy millionaires...players show me their bags full of huge gems and make about 100K per hour with it as they say.

2) they allowed another huge exploit, the farming of expensive gas traps under Mikona, to exist for 3 years too many, allowing a select few to become multimillionaires even though it was repeatedly told...many still wonder why...

I'm guessing Avlis has about a billion gold too much to be anywhere near healthy...it's simply refreshing to come here and experience a normal economy... and find single masterwork bullets again...

Save up those masterwork bullets and bolts. A single one can sell as high as 3 gp!

That's how I got -my- fortune.
