Good grief! Do these still sell for 1K or more on some servers?? I've bought quite a few of these on Innoruuk and The Tribunal. I've never paid over 100 pp for one, and most were significantly less. Friday night, I bought one on The Tribunal for my newest character, a bard. There were six or seven for sale in the Bazaar for under 100 pp; I bought the one priced at 20 pp.
is 250 plat to much fer this thing?? i bought it of a little gnome named helifist i think.............. anyway my froggy duel weilds it now w/ this in the primary and a ZYRZXTHIL or however u spell it forged axe in the secondary. am i doing this right?, and wut would be some good things to buy on the RATHE surver in the bazaar for a warrior froglok im lvl 13 w/ 1300plat lemme know..........KROAK!!
Ha! I found this puppy in bazaar for 5plat, he must have forgot the two extra zeros, either that or he was nice, but still 5 plat for this is pretty damn nice.
Wow you guys are paying outragous prices for a centi ss. i bought one last week on karana for 150pp. the highest i have seen them go for was 300pp. i put it on my rogue with his jagged chokidai(sp) spine. i love it.
I got one for my warrior alt on Fennin Ro server. I paid 18pp for it in Bazaar. I admit, it is a very good weapon for a low level Barb Warrior. Not sure if I will keep it as he sees more seasons.
Incidently, I have a centi-warhammer for my shammy frog...and it is awesome. Right around level 6 or 7 when i bought it for him...I was hitting max dmg with it.
When i played about 8 months ago. I paid 100pp i think. I saw that as a nice deal. people with 10k or so dont really care about a centi ss. bazaar caused a decreese in value i think because its all about competing prices. when ec was the trade city or gfay you could negociate a little more. just my 2 cents.
All I can say is Lammys. If ya can afford them. Cheaper than The Centi LS - Just a few hundred more than the Centi SS. Wow, now I know I am going to hear on this. LOL
I've come to understand that starting at level 28, ALL weapons for melee get a damage bonus? Does that mean the Centi SS gets a bonus? Please let me know.
i was funning a casino and i let a guy bet a ring that had a valuse of about 150 so i said that it would be fair.... well it didnt matter he lost ne way to because there was another trader there and i didnt want the ring i bet it and won and bam a Centi Shortsword appeared so i won it for free. I looked up its price and it was going for 600pp at the time nice win if i do say so my self.
I've known of this sword since a noob and I've been saving my spare plat for some time...and after I got around 300p I made a trip to the Bazaar and found that they were selling for 600pp to 800pp...so, if anyone on Kane Bayle has a Centi Short Sword send Terein a tell...anyways, I was pretty disapointed!
I had the exact same problem, I saved 400pp, and made a trip to the bazaar. The Centi SS was selling for 600pp+ and I was pretty bummed. BTW, I am on Kane Bayle server also. Luadwen Swiftfoot http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=645515
personally i think that you should spend your money on a nice ry gorr tunic. They are normally around 150-300p on our server (bertoxx) and will last you till around 45 (or you get get my tunic which was 100-200p). I would also go back to kelethin and do some of the newbie armour quests. They have str and sta which are very important and are about 1-3 ac less than banded. I would do the bracers, legs, boots, and gloves. If you dont want better armour than just wait for the prices to go down some because unless you server is over twinked and peeps are will to pay 500p for a centi then i would switch servers.
nm i just bought on for 166, all my money at the time (just bough a 50p earring. Saw one for 150 but the trader must have bee hiding or something. Im still happy though but most of the time the traders will lower it to 150 eventually, just be patient like me (ives waited a while for the prices to go down obviously) On bertoxx
I'm guessing he meant the stats look good for the price.
I agree that centi LS are overpriced, but the are better than this in several ways. First, the ratio is better, as you noted. Secont, the stats are higher, with 8 str, and 8 sta, rather than 5. See my post below (comparing this sword to a sporali defenders blade) for why more str and stamina matters. Also, this sword is NOT lore, so you can wield 2 of them. Its also a lot rarer than the shortsword, which factors into the price. Personally, I think the Centi LS is a pretty decent blade, but not worth the current price (2k+ on my server).
well, if you were a warrior, ranger, bard or rogue, you might like this better, since the sporali is Pal/SK only.
Plus sporali has a ratio of 2.176, centi short is 2.083. Since lower ratio is better, centi has the advantage.
Also, once you hit lvl 28, you begin to get a damage bonus on melee classes. As that damage bonus goes up, a faster weapon will outperform a slower one.
Say a lvl 32 pally is looking at these swords. I believe the bonus at 32 is 2, for 1hs. So, the sporali would be essentially a 19 damage, 37 delay weapon 1.95 ratio), while the centi would be 14 dmg, 25 delay (1.79 ratio).
The higher your level, the more the centi outperforms the sporali.
Also, faster weapons mean more taunt, so if your pally/sk is the tank for a grind group, he'll hold aggro better with the centi.
+5 str means higher attack, which means you hit more often, and for more damage.
Last, stamina = more HP, so sword with +5 stamina, is better than sword without +5 stamina
Longer than I intended, but this is why a centi short sword is better than a sporali defender's blade.

Posted:Aug 20 2002 at 12:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) if you have a centi shortsword i'll give you a axe of iron back and a giant militia longsword for it.If not i'll also add 20-30pp.
Upgrade the armor, unless you are having problems keeping the mobs aggroed on you. IF they stay on you, with your current weaps and taunt, get better armor, with higher ac and more hp/sta on it.
I am back from vacation a month without eq. First thing I do is find out about the bazaar interface and go there to hang out. Well, I now have bought a centi ss for 200pp!! A Crustecean Shell BP for 200pp (+15 sta too?? wow), A dented brass mask (ac4 +3 str) 40pp. Crustecean shell shield (ugly as hell, but ac17 +10 sta damn!) Hurray for the Bazaar! Now if they can keep the lag down there it will be perfect! Oh yeah and the centi LS I saw there for 2 days ranged from 2kpp-2.5kpp
Paid 350pp, was so happy that I was getting a sword with the name "Centi" in it, I didn't realize it was the shortsword and not the longsword. Oh well I equipped it and realized, its still cool. So now I have an FBSS (haste), and a centi shortsword in my secondary, and a skyfire in my primary, I hit REAL fast now, usually hit for high 20's to low 40's in that range. add in the call of sky spell that rangers have at my level, 42, and then when I hit 45 and have call of sky casted on myself, then the skyfire procs too, I will be hitting nicely, add in that I am still kicking too, and running an 11 point damage shield. I may not have the tankability of being a warrior, but will be able to do some nice damage, with 2 procs going off randomly, great for interrupting caster mobs. woot !!
PS: Centi kinda cancels out its own weight
adds +5 STR, and the weight 5.5 stone, so in effect it only weighs .5 stone so I wont be asking for someone to zing (restore my stamina) all the time.
BTW Im selling my Crustacean Shell Breasplate for a Centi SS or a Wurmslayer or selling for 600pp. Im on Brell Serilis look for Naedaven, or Email me at pure1337@yahoo.com if you want to bargain with it.
I bought a CSS today for 7 plats from a vendor at the Bazaar. I couldn't believe it... I've also picked up other rare drops for under 10 plats there. So if you are at the Bazaar a lot, it might pay to check the vendors often. Who knows, maybe you'll get a CLS for 10 plats. :-)
I got one from the vendor's in the bazaar also (still wondering why someone sold it to one to begin with)but then had someone offer me 150p for it later, I said sure considering I also paid just over 7p for it. Okage Tadaka 53 Rogue
Don't come here and lie, you little fool. If we ARE to beleive that someone accidently sold a centi SS to a vendor (not IMPROBABLE) it would fetch A LOT more than 7p. Seen how much a vendor asks for a crappy velium weapon?
