Runes of Magic US / AU

Now have fun on the +7 -> +12 jewels...and again on the +13 -> +16 ones. Even if you don't care about the performance increase, +13->+16 range looks way better than anything lower...significant aesthetic jump, IMO.

its based on many factors, but most often its the apt, the higher the expensiver, a high apt would be high 70 to 80s and they often get sold quite quickly, i wont say much about the quality of the egg since even though it goes as such (holy>magical>amazing>natural>wild) the last 3 dont play a big role on prices, usually you see them posted at same price, so dark 75 apt natural egg would be costing about the same as natural one with same attributes, but magical are quite expensiver, and holy are worth millions if its a dark or earth element. also if you get a rune egg its about 100k but i cant tell about other servers since im only in arthemis

heres what i know about plussing. the lower an items star rating, the easier it is to plus. plus before tiering, modding. also, higher level than necassary jewels fail less. also, repair before +ing

Weapons with stats are much harder to teir up then clean weapons. Usually you start with NPC jewel to +1, use regualr jewels to +4, perfect one to +6, regular again to +10 and prefect one for last two, to +12.

So far I've seen only perfect +16 one, and use them. (never was found of gashas )

As for pet & eggs, there is very helpful tutorial on pets.

Basically, for production pet, any pet will work. Just get pet of any element, purchase tools from pet vendor and make it produce it.

For fighting pet and every day companion you like to get Holy pet with element that will complement your class choice.

Once you have Holy pet, first thing is to rise the Aptitude without severely rising it's level. Blue Rune Eggs (very expensive) are good start, to 90-something. After that you have to chain-merge pets of the same element and use training points you get to level aptitude. (1000 training points for 1 aptitude) But at this point you already know that rising good pet is very expensive and most required item is Golden Eggs. You can either farm them (hate that), get them from AH (again, back to expensive part) or hope that Mr. Owenstein (NPC that used to sell them) will be back in business.

Pet's do help a lot, for example my current playing pet is only level 17 and gives me over 1K HP, 350 inteligence (which translates into 700mAtk) and a bit less then 300 Wisdom. It's fire type (for mage) and transformed into Parrot (good buffs for Mage).

Very expensive, but as well, very rewarding.

plussing using reg gems from npc, how many it takes on average to get to +4 and +3?

Answer to that question is 'too many'.

Just don't even try to do it, as it really does not work that well. +1 is not that hard, but anything after that is more of a loose then gain.

IMHO Frogester should do something about that, enable it to + to +3 or +4 with NPC dias, and CS jewel should not have drop rate at all, but I guess they are busy with other staff to take care of this.

Yeah, the fail rate on vendor jewels is high enough that doing it past +1 is not really worth it. You would have to get two success in a row, and that is not really likely when to get one success you deal with 10-15 fails on average.

Pet eggs are very much overpriced in AH. Very few, besides Holy or blue Rune are worth what they ask.

Tell me something about it...

And those Fire pets... WAY OVERPRICED imho.

BTW, is that uncle Stalin in someone's avatar??

i believe yes, or at least an actor, its supposed to be a nice gif of him signing papers and smoking his pipe but no gifs on this forums work

Funny you should ask about pet egg values, it seems literally NOBODY (hardly) understands how to price eggs...so frustrating. I would say well over 90% of the eggs, at least on my server, will NEVER sell at their current prices. It's like people capture eggs, but they don't ever actually use the pet system, so their prices just make no sense.

Here's what's valuable...

Low level holy eggs...it's way, way better to start a low level pet, chain-merge to get the aptitude as high as possible, then level it. You get way better stats than than say, buying some level 20+ holy pet out the gate. These pets can go for a few mil easy, especially if the aptitude is decent (say..80+)...even more so when the element corresponds to the FOTM classes (usually dark LOL).

Pets with high aptitude of ANY type...say 85+ ish (and ridiculously priced if 90+)...especially if they are low level. Nice to have these in rune form so that anybody regardless of their pet element can use them to level their aptitude.

After that...pretty much NO EGG should be very expensive. ALL NON-HOLY pets are useless except for chain merging/leveling...(unless they fit the high aptitude rule above). NO EGG of any element type/aptitude is worth creating an actual long-term pet out of unless it starts out holy (and fairly low level..like 1-5, in my opinion).

I'd say 90% of eggs should be like 5k-50k range. And under NO circumstances does it ever make sense to have an egg price more than 350k (100 x Miller's Cake value) unless it's a (fairly low level) holy or 85+ aptitude.

Sorry, had to rant there...I'm a big egg buyer because of all my alts...and it's just annoying that 90% of the market in the AH is a waste.
