it also has alot to do with your odds of crafting that specific item. like viscious on bow or enchanted is bis. you got more options and therefor easier to craft
Has a lot to do with odds of crafting and cost of mats.
BIS bow is easy to roll, thus it’s not bad pricey. BIS musket, a little more difficult, thus it’s higher than a bow. However, mats for muskets aren’t that bad.
NOW, bis bruiser weapons. Mats are a bit more expensive, and odds are less at rolling ideal perks.
BIS dex armor, not bad to roll, mats are cheap.
BIS bruiser armor, insanely expensive, thus high cost. Equal chance to roll as dex armor, just the cost of mats are rough, due to lack of availability.
A good chunk of war groups do ultimately determine cost, due to how much they’ll pay…usually via gold bought via RMT. Can blame how horrible New Worlds anti-cheat system is on that aspect.
Bows/muskets were expensive. They still might be. Someone said they sold a attunement + enchanted + keenly jagged musket for 500k the other day on my server.
I think everyone who uses them bought their BiS weapons months ago. It seems like everyone has a BiS musket or bow.
Hard to directly compare prices, because material costs are a lot different between Light & Heavy for example (Heavy pieces require more Asmodeum, which tends to be more expensive). Then you add in the cost of perk mods, what perks you want on your item etc. and it becomes unreliable to compare prices to define the Meta. HOWEVER…
…There is most definitely a higher demand in general for Medium and Heavy pieces as they are the dominant Equip Loads used in Wars (and more competitive premade Arenas). This is not necessarily reflected on the Trading Post, but definitely when you look at cross-server trading hubs like the “New World Global Trading Post” Discord.
And obviously it just makes sense. Everybody knows each War has 1-2 max Killsquads running around in Light while the rest of the roster is all Medium & Heavy (except Healers of course).
I fell you. I just went with the Winter Convergence bow that has Vicious, Keenly Jagged, and Frost Chain Attunement. BIS bows are selling for around 200-250k right now on fresh Avalon server. Way more Gold than I’ll have anytime soon and when do do get that kind of gold idk if i want to spend it all on one BIS item. My luck the meta would change right after i bought it, Lol.
exactly, my almost bis bow build costs less then 100k all included.
20k is most i payed per piece some 10k .
full 5 refresh evasion resil , 3 aversions and pvp chest one.
bis earing 20k .
bow with jagged, vic, chain 5 to 20k.
dont even need bis bow for 100k.
i kill 90% of bows very ez in opr.
there is no such thing as bow meta.
only few good players per server if that.
normally they are stat padders who run away.
they can be anoying and disrupt some builds but have no kills .
same time my bro mage buys helm for 250k.
and thinks its a good price.
that is only and only about wars tho. people who are competitive invest huge money on BIS gear. because they kinda have to.
people who are not competitive and casually go opr-arena will not invest that much time-money to buy BIS gear which have a chance to be useless in wars. they can get away with mediocre gear.
a server may have 200 bruisers and 2000 musket-bows. but only those 200 will invest heavily on BIS gear and constantly join wars, not those 2k players even though they are the meta. ofc there will be rich ones and buy whatever they want, its different
