The Shadiest Swashbuckler (Rare Old School Items)

[zdozbou]

Some of you may have seen the announcement for the newest feature that went live today in EverQuest (You can find it on the EverQuest Live Forums). Here's a little more information about it.

The Shadiest Swashbuckler is a pirate who sells old school EQ items (for very high prices). Her inventory changes each day, and will be different from server to server. Most, if not all, of her inventory is items that can no longer be obtained in the game. There is a spreadsheet floating around with her discovered inventory so far, which can be found here.

Very high prices, that's for sure.

Top guild got to her before anyone else. All worthwhile items gone in 30 seconds.

Too funny I may actually log back in to see if I can get a bfg.

she sells 1 item a game day its stupid

she sells 1 item a game day its stupid

It is 1 item per server per day, so that for many means better access.

 

[Chase369]

Is it 1 item per day, as in ONE ITEM PER DAY? or unlimited amount of 1 item type per day?

 

[zdozbou]

There's a maximum value of items per day. Say if the max value is 200 Nobles, then a higher priced item could take up all of that. There instead could also be 2-3 low priced items. All depends on the randomness.

I am curious if people wait by her to purchase items? What time to they get pushed to her inventory? I don't see much I'd want on her list, but curious to see how anxious people are to get old items.

apart from the pre-nerf cos is there actually anything useful that she sells?

 

[Chase369]

I dont get the prices or which dev put the ini file/rng together on it. Some useless dumb shit being sold for ridiculous prices.

 

[SiegeTank]

No kidding. They can be so clueless. And all they had to is assign an intern to do a few hours of research, talk to some players, maybe post a few threads, etc. and they could get a very good idea of what rare items would have in-game demand and approximately how much players would be willing to pay for them.

The intent was to help get rid of plat, what a total failure. Hardly anyone is buying that crap stuff. They should of implemented all the items from that vendor to a Casino 2.0 if they wanted to get plat out of the system. Only like 0.01% of the serverwide population is going after those artifact items, so it has 0 impact on getting plat out of the game.

I see Firestorm Cape is in the list of unconfirmed items she sells that have not been seen yet but are able to be sold back to her. That could be a fun one if you want a troll illusion.

 

[SiegeTank]

Not to derail, but I'm always amazed at the fascination players have for illusion clickies, not to mention mounts. Considering that illusion pots are readily available and anybody can level up an enchanter that can rapidly become capable of projecting illusions, I'm amazed people will pay such big bucks for an illusion clicky.

Same with mounts... how many mounts can you ride at one time!? LOL

Of course I should talk since I'd pay good plat for the one mount I've always wanted: the flying carpet. LOL

I think that a lot of it goes back to when they actually were chase items. People who chased them back then and still appreciate them now.
