This is likely a dumb question and I'm likely a bit out of touch with what is considered "good" but how does an antique item go for that much?? Won't it wear down pretty quick and can only be repaired 3 times?around 100m
Very helpful explanation, thank you! I haven't really PvP'ed in years so that makes sense. I will need to start grabbing these types of jewels when I see them instead of leaving them on the corpses!Antique Jewels are for pvp mostly. It can be repaired multiple times but can only be POFed 3 times. Very few people would pay more than 50m for an antique pvm jewel no matter how good it is and usually it has to be the non-melee type (such as mage/bard/tamer).
This ring has +20 magery which is good for various pvp templates that uses magery, but it lacks hci/sdi/ssi/di to be really high-end. Idealy this kind of 8-mod 1/3 mage jewel could go as high as 500m if it has more of the mods mentioned above. For example, if it has HCI 15 instead of int 8, people would like to pay around 300m for it.
Just my two cents.
The only people who don't wear antique jewels are the ones who can afford to pay multiple plats per jewel. I agree 99% of players use antiques.Everyone I know wears antiques. I could prolly count on one hand who wears non-antique jewelry for pvp......and have fingers leftover.
I cant afford multiple plats per jewel and I don't use antique coz I think jewels were ruined when they implemented antique. It was a step back in the history of the game so I dont't use them.The only people who don't wear antique jewels are the ones who can afford to pay multiple plats per jewel.

You're holding yourself back over nostalgia then. Antique jewels are much cheaper with better mods.I cant afford multiple plats per jewel and I don't use antique coz I think jewels were ruined when they implemented antique. It was a step back in the history of the game so I dont't use them.
The point is not if they are cheap or not, the point is that antique jewels are a step back in the development of the game, there was no need for suddently weak jewels, imbued was fine. But they wanted people to keep spending and that only happens if your item worns out. And Im not gonna contribute to the decadence of this game with more than my banksitting and my complainning.You're holding yourself back over nostalgia then.
