More generous than a 275m offer? Sorry but bane dragons go for way below 100.
I know for sure because I bought for 30 and 60m and. The 60m is 3.6
The rating and the pet it self is irrelevant with the new taming patch
i have to disagree, if we're talking about the taming patch, banes are worth absolutely nothing. ive seen people guardwhacking banes and dreads since the new patch.
there was also a post on UOhall that mentioned that old, non-spawning pets could return to game in celebration of the 20th. like all things mesanna says, take this for what you will. personally i dont think it will happen, but she did say this at a recent meet and greet.
ive sold low rated banes for as low as 5m, which i know was low i just wanted to get rid of them to clear stable space. in my opinion, banes and dreads still hold some value as a collectors pet, especially high rated ones. but not for use just for the sake of rating / rarity. as rare pets go, we're not talking about a 1 of 30, or even 100. theres thousands of them. the value of them was a pvp item, which the taming revamp has made obsolete.
I really have no idea of a fair value for bane nowadays, but know for sure that pvpers dont want them anymore, and that when they did want them, a low-rated went for around 25m, a high rated around 50. higher value only as a collector item, for extremely high rating. but not for use. The reason they were always so low, is that if your spending more than that, your gonna get a dread. because a bad dread is better than the best bane because it doesnt have a slayer. effectively doubling its survivability in pvp.
@Granitgolem im not usually one to just hand out gold, but if you really have nothing and need it for say insurance or basic gear id provide 10m. please pm a time / place to meetup if interested. theres so many ways to make gold in UO, especially right now i would take a fair offer for the bane, 50 or 75 seems more than generous, and then get out there and make it playing. white or black cus been going for 50 to 75m. 2 slot rare colored nightmares still going for 100plus. you will make gold, and unless you really dont want the bane dragon, might just want to hold onto it as a keepsake.
