So for Vox, Naggy, Phinny raids, and Old-world farming? Sure, I guess... But I get a kick out of anyone offering 20k+ for a Rubi BP, when Fungis were selling for a 60k average on my server for almost all of Kunark.

Why blow the plat on old world stuff instead of waiting a couple months or so for the new gear?
#1 Items have inflated prices here over live. FBSS on tallon zek was like 7-8k for years. its 16-18 here.

#2 Rubi bp is a status symbol and it also has a unique look for most classes.

#3 These 2 items no longer drop and manastone still serves high utility even in kunark. Druids can powerlevel alts in old world much quicker as well as what pyro mentions, porting back to old world to mana up and returning to exp spot. Having one as a wizard is absolutely essential considering manastone eating epic's rune.

Manastone will continue to go up in price for the remainder of the server's existance. Eventually they will become very scarce and more & more new players will be trying to acquire it. Combine that with inflation and it's pretty easy to see why.
