Most overrated items
 
Thought I'd start a casual discussion on the most overrated items in the game. Feel free to take anything into consideration, from rarity to market value and whatever you care about.

Personally, I'd say Djarn's Amethyst Ring. It's not even that good, and most of its value seems to stem from the fact that most people don't know how little agility is really worth. I'd wear a 5/55 ring on any melee class as well as those of the caster classes that should care about AC. Djarn's is slightly better on a few classes, equal or worse on most, and it apparently sells for like 12k while good old 5/55s are 225p or whatever. Insane, especially for an item that drops off a mob that has been pretty much perma-camped for the entire history of the server.

Djarns is best in slot for melee, AC is wack on this server. My vote goes towards MCT since its worthless with the minimum delay shit.

Oops not overpriced, overrated. Hmm..
I'll say AoN; I never understood the big whoop about that one. It's an instantcast buff, ye cool, but other than that, you're gonna tire out with the whole skeleton-thing in about 24h, so then it's just a crummy neck item no one in their right mind equips due to the -hp.

Hand of the Reaper -- sick mage item, NEC only.

Iksar mask.

AoN is more than just an illusion in many ways and i doubt anyone really tires of it? i never did /shrug

AoN woopie doo.. necros get that and only costs few plat.

I think the price on something like CoF and RBB is out of whack.

Idol of the Thorned. Some folks asking 16k. It's not like it ever stops dropping. And besides, for most regular experience groups you are better off with a runed bone fork for the SV magic.

You need to be in a very, very specific circumstance to want pay 500k for 36% haste considering:

A.) There's a haste cap
B.) Sky haste is easily attainable for any guild with a bunch of 60s
c.) Monk/Rang/Rog have epic haste.

I agree, CoF is by far the most over-valued item, considering it no longer even carries the "wow" factor.

Cloak of flames could only possibly be worth 500k+ to me if it actually set your character on fire.
