Forget the KSOH, I found something better from Wirt (?)

[Jeff Edwards]

Yes, 2 or so days ago I found a KSOH (bastard), but now I have
something even more valuable. I bought a Merciless Bow of Burning
(Long War Bow) off Wirt.

The price was 112,572 or thereabouts. What I find interesting is that
there was *no* 150% markup by Wirt. Its value at Gris' is exactly 1/4
of this (28,143). Why is that?

Could it be that Wirt does not markup things if they would go over
140,000? If so, that means that some items that we thought were
impossible to get eg Godly Full Plate may be possible.

Ideas?

Possibly, Gris just takes 1/4 off the Identified Price as stored on the item,
and when you buy an item from Wirt, Wirt sets the Identified price
at the 150% markup value.

Just a guess. I've yet to have a chance at comparing the price of two
almost exactly the same items, one from Wirt and one from Gris,
to verify the 150% markup.

seeya,

According to the data in Pedro's guide, the true price of a Merciless Long
War Bow of Burning will be between 73000 and 78000 (depends on the quality
of the Merciless.) After a 50% markup, it'll be between 109500 and 117000,
which is where yours is. Looks like Griswold offers 1/4 of the "Wirt
price" rather than 1/4 of the item's true price.

[Pedro Faria / Jarulf]

Gris offers 1/4 of Wirts price until the item is recreated in anyway
(you drop it on ground and goes to dungeon, restart game and so on).
After that the orice will be 1/4 of Griswolds price. Don't ask me why
the game "forgets" Wirts price like this.
