They are so rare that people are still getting server firsts on them a year later and people are massive spergs about that stuff, so some of them might be worth several thousand.
Honestly, I'm suspecting that the real value of many of them is nearly zero, in that I'd be really interested to know how many people have actually been able to sell one.

There are moneybags out there which will dump hundreds of plat on the most pointless things, but the bounty sets are useless unless you can actually complete them. If there are none of a particular one in a set available for sale, then all of the other ones in the set are worth nothing, and I think people realize that. Maybe that's not the case for some of the more common mob types, but I've got a shard first badger tooth and I haven't seen a single other piece in that set available for sale ever, so it's basically just a lost bank slot pending some far-off day when they buff the drop rate.

The real value of most of that crap is nearly zero.

I mean, normal artifacts are both common and dreambreakable, so there's SOME value there.

But for all intents and purposes they're all essentially worthless, what you get as the shiny reward is pretty much trash as far as I know.



Wouldn't mind the bounty potions but I don't think it's worth the :effort:

Or list it for the completionists to buy it for a couple thousand plat.

I think completionists want to... you know... complete it.

There are mounts or something I think for collecting the bounty artifacts, the problem is that if it isn't possible to complete the set, the shiny reward doesn't exist.

If people are still getting shard firsts on bounties, then completing those bounty sets basically means that someone would have to track down all of the shard firsts (or possibly seconds) and arrange to buy out their items from all of them at the same time. And that's assuming all of the items in the set actually exist. It isn't going to happen. I'm probably just going to dump my badger tooth for like 50 plat and let some one else deal with the pipe dream of finding someone who will buy it for a price that they think its rarity warrants. By the time they buff the drop rate to something reasonable, the next expansion will be out and nobody will be killing badgers any more anyway (or Architects, or Storm Legion, or...)

Just throw the artifact on the AH for more than you'd think anyone would pay for it ever.

If it's blue put it up at 1k buyout, purple 2k, orange 3k.

You can reduce the price if it doesn't sell.


Where the hell did you even get a badger part though?

Just because they don't have the full set now doesn't mean they don't want to snatch up poo poo as they come across it.

It's an orange, last time I listed it was at 300p and it's been on a long slide to that point.

A badger knight in Dendrome. I think those may be the only things in the entire game that drop that set, unless the level 60 Cactus Badger NPCs are actually a thing.

Maybe if there was exactly one person that would do that, but if there's more than one, then that'll pretty much exhaust the entire supply. Two people with half-finished sets is useless. Maybe if they just keep them in inventory until they have a full set so they don't run that risk, but... eh.

Like I said, I'm really curious to know how much luck people are actually having selling these things. I know people think they're worth hundreds of plat because of their rarity, but I'm having a really hard time seeing a market for them.

List them for an incredibly retarded price that absolutely nobody in their right mind would consider paying, then gradually walk it down from there to a price you'd be happy to accept. I made something like 300-500 plat off of a blue Greenscale's box the first day those came out with this strategy.

I literally sell blue SL puzzle artifacts for 300p pretty consistently. Butttttttt, I also buy up all the supply below 20p to make sure people have to buy mine.

Guys, I'm leveling a cleric. What's a good dungeon / pvp healing spec for pre-SL dungeons? I've heard Puri / 22 Sent (for the AoE cure) - should I pump the sent first and get that cure, then go all purifier?

What build do you learned folk suggest for a leveling warrior? I am level 21 and I have just been using the shield/sword default build. I like the build I have now, but I think for leveling I would be better off with more all around DPS and maybe some AoE.

If it isn't in your mailbox, then you need another invite. And yes, you have to be on Deepwood to join the goon guild.

Are you certain that Manstrocity is your character name? I just tried right now and says an invite is pending. But searching for your name pulls up nothing.
