Like if there was a Kryss -21 Mage no neg 15 DCI 50 Fireball...

Would pvpers buy it?

If so, how much would you pay, cause I can make one.

Is there a market for imbued items period?

yeah, but you gotta take into consideration, people can make them too. . everyone knows an imbuer these days dude, but its still in great demand.. .I've seen jewel sets with ring and brace that have 13/13 dci/hci 25 ep dmg increase in an identical set.

The mage weap thing is in great demand, but honestly, i wouldn't pay too too much for something like that, being that I know I can get down there and get the resources myself. maybe, 10mil for something like that??
I might pay that just to have a spare :thumbsup:

People may be reluctant to spend a fortune since you can't add durability to imbued items.

Only because People are not using POF on the item before imbuing it. When I see an imbued item on a vendor if its not @ 255 durability, no matter how sick it looks i wont give it another thought.

So you're saying you can make

-21 Mage Weapon
Spell Channeling
15 DCI
50 Fireball??

Take a screenshot and show me. I've been asking quite a few people about how much weapons can hold for different weights and from what you said it seems impossible that would fit. I'm not saying it won't but I don't think it would.

i don't thikn you can get 50 ball. .

If you start on a NORMAL iron blade, of exceptional quality, the best you can do is the 15 dci, with maybe a little room for some SSI, but you can't get around the inherent 40% dmg increase taking up that weight...


In short, its not possible.

However! if one was to take a magic wand with lightening? ? .. . . Trade secrets.. I have been muted.

What I have been doing is finding weaps that have 4 or less props
like I have many looted sc-1 mage weap -20 weapons, some are at 4 props some only just the 2.

Just a simple
SC -1
Mage weap -20

add FC+1 =3 props.
add dci 13= 4 props
add Fireball 45 = 5 props

Being that the sc, FC, Mage weap are at 100% I leave the other 2 at 80%-90%.

And if the weap has a useless mod at a high % I will then lower the % say HPA 50% down to 1-2% so I can fit other mods on a bit easier.

You guys are forgetting item "weight" when it comes to imbueing.

Its not just about the number of mods, each item has a maximum weight of 500.

It would be impossible to make a weapon with
-20
SC no neg
50 fireball
15 dci

(would be too much weight on the item)

Long story short, you have to pick either hit spell or dci on a -20 mage weap.

:( sorry to burst your bubbles!!

That may be true if your doing 5 props at 100% but you dont need the last 2 at 100% they are just fine at 80-90% and that is doable.

Ive been Imbuing for the last 7 months I have it pretty figured out. Your not going to make a 5x 100% weapon unless you get lucky with a runic. Best your going to do is 3x 100%, 2 @ 80-90% on the props. with imbuing.

Thanks man..

Hey also, your sig... Is false, if I threw my problems in a pile and I saw someone elses problem was "I have too much money"... I am pretty sure I would leave mine in that pile and thake care of his for him.

Another tip, POF the hell out of the item before imbuing it. I am seeing way too many good imbued items that only have 60-80 durability its a waste really.

I dont know about that, If someones problem was too much money there is probably something attached to it that we wouldn't want a part of.

Yeah, I have seen that too, it's a shame... But I didn't know you could repair the items... Just can't powder it.. Ok that makes sense why someone would buy them now.

well yeah;, thats what you need to keep in mind..

another thing people need to keep in mind is the price of the ingredients doesn't really mean **** about the price of the weapon. . .

I went down to rats last night just out of boredom, and got 6 abyssal cloth. . .
I stopped in at the slimes/ellies, got 12 essence of singularity.. Plus, everyone knows someone that will imbue for them. .

In summary, its really not THAT hard to make these 'ubber' items, but a fair price will easily disuade any of us from going through the trouble themselves..
I would price accordingly.

Like i said,

SC, no neg, mw -20, dci 15 weaps should bring in around 10-15 mil.
If you're sitting on a bunch of minor arties like pixie swatters and alchemy baubles and crap that can be broken down into relic frags, you're sitting on a gold mine, and need to get your ass to work! :thumbsup:
(cus those are way harder to get now than any of the stupid ingredients)
