Default Great value items vs Overvalued items

Most that play have certain items they get great value out of. When I talk to new players in EC I sometimes get asked what to purchase.

Which items do you find that are great values to purchase in EC? Which items are overvalued?

Here's what I typically recommend to new players on green so they use their hard earned plat wisely.

great value:

10 does sow pots (100p is a steal for these)
55HP rings (200-250p is super low for so many hitpoints
Hooded Black Cloak (1400-1700p for great back item for any class)

overvalued:

Golden Efreeti Boots (5-6k for 9int/wis -seems quite overvalued)



What are some more examples of items that have great value vs cost to new players? How about more overvalued items they should avoid?

Not exactly EC items but bandages, cloudy potions, muffins, milk!

Peridots are great to carry, especially mid 40s on.

Speaking of potions Kilva's Skin of Flame (DS) pots are unfortunately not nearly as good of a value as sow pots. The ds is minimal and lasts for a very short time at lower levels when having a DS would be good for powerleveling yourself. Once it starts doing a respectable amount of damage, mobs are hitting much harder. They are very expensive for shamans to make thus they have to sell them for like 500p to turn any kind of profit, the combines frequently fail even at max alchemy.

1 sow is not worth 10p! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

20-30 skill range, cheep mats, there's as many shamans as there are enchanters, at 100p, if that is the going rate, a shaman can make a killing!

I wouldn't pay that much for them though, I feel like sow pots should be 20p for 10 doses.

Few things are ever worth more value per platinum piece than that first full set of banded armor and decent weapon. Most melees can get something around 6/22 for 100pp or less.

Sounds like you should go camp some geboots and rip off all those suckers out there

expensive items are expensive because they are usually relatively hard to obtain and are the best of their kind

of course, that said which items woud you suggest that are more expensive than their value?

Those would be overvalued items for a new green player to avoid at first.

That's what the thread is asking.
