FBSS: Fifteen thousand platinum

[Vegan Police]

The FBSS in today's market is approximately worth the same as a Rubicite Breastplate, and is double the price of GEB's.

[Messianic]

People willing to pay = viable transaction = consistent pricing

[Vile]

Sounds like RMT is involved.

[Vondra]

It's often a very long camp, the camp is contested heavily, and the item is in high demand.

Not sure what the complaint about the price is.

I know 15k seems like a lot to newer players but honestly, if the sash was selling for 5k or something alot of the high level players that camp it wouldn't bother anymore (and then the price would go up, heh)

great observation thanks for sharing!

What?! An item that gives massive functionality is worth DOUBLE a pair of yellow shoes?! This needs to be investigated immediately.

Have you ever camped it? The frenzy room is about as much fun as getting snapped by a rubber band for 8hrs straight.

That camp is horrible, fuck it.

FBSS should be worth 25k.

Frenzy who is this? I only know of the bloodthirsty ghoul camp in lower guk...
Is this a classic mob?

[Xatava]

No one would argue that the fbss was as uncommon of a drop on live as it currently is here.

whoosh

[Quizy]

15k huh? Must of went down in Price a bit.

[skorge]

they have been around 15k for several months now, pretty much since Kunark got released...mainly due to all the melee twinks kunark has brought in (monks mostly)

[knottyb0y]

Haste Items boost a melee character's damage potential up more than any other stat item. Add that to the FBSS being rather uncommon drop (I assume), and the high demand for haste items due to the influx of melee characters and easy to acquire melee weapons and gear from the Kunark expansion perfectly explains the pricing.

Face it, GEB's +9int/+9wis and Rubicite BP's 19 ac and +3 regen outright benefit to the classes that can use them do not remotely compare to 21% worn haste that benefits when 6 out of 14 classes (7 if you include bards) that primarily deal damage via weapons. Add to the equation that any melee class that has an FBSS will use the item until they gain a better haste item if they ever get one (so the item is viable from level 1 to 60). Means that they are not re-entering the market like other items are. (Ie i buy a 10/30 sword, 10 levels later i find a 12/25 sword, so i sell the 10/30 sword)

So yeah 15k for FBSS sucks, but it's the market on this server, as long as people are willing to pay 15k for haste (which they are) the price will not go down. Eventually more haste items will enter the market, and the price will begin to go down.

How long does it take for a lvl 50/60 to farm 15k?

My post was pure sarcasm Snaggles, but thanks :)

Depends on class, skill level, and style.

speaking only of farming platinum, i'd say 1k / hr is probably the fastest you can get anywhere, there's a couple of places you could do this such as seafuries, skyfire aoe etc.

that doesn't include reselling items (such as FBSS) which is probably faster.

i've got something with massive functionality

[Nirgon]

Yeah, go camp it then tell me what you think it's worth :). I think either blood thirsty can pop a frenzy but the belt is quite rare from him.

Guh, my bad. Sarcasm looks like an earnest effort when browsed from a cell phone. :p
