After seeing this thread, I decided to just hold onto the pair that I was offered 145k for that I have on Maramma until I get an offer I’m happy with, or if I can’t, I can always experiment with it in a new build.
You should check out New World Market if you want to open up your options on buyers.
Medium Legs + one other medium armor (not chest obviously) is the exact same armor value than a light loadout with medium chest and all light, despite the difference in weight (12.6 / 12.7)
the point is, the 2nd loadout is very unknown, since people always believe it’s a worse option bc they associated the lower weight with lower armor value (which is generally true, but not in this case)
so when let’s say 95% of light armor people using light legs you have much less people that would even be interested in medium pants.
since this is the case it’s just so much more difficult to find the right buyer, which makes prices for medium legs much lower than they are actually worth.
Light legs are better than medium if you are crafting because both light and medium loadouts can use it in builds, thus more potential customers. This fact, over time, has made it so people believe that medium legs are useless, because they heard that “light is better” without considering the context.
Couldn’t find a buyer, desperately needed the inventory space, tossed it in a salvage storage, then went through and salvaged today. I feel bad that these couldn’t get to someone who needed them. Ah, capitalism.
