3% of the old costs; that's a serious price reduction.

 

[McFuggins]

I suspect they will not sell so well in the AH any more hahaha.

 

[Solarpower]

That is the most unexpected change.

 

[Defunct]

Of all the things to put paid staff hours into

 

[mikarddo]

I am pretty sure SSG would earn more if they lowered the prices on many other items

 

[norriskwondo]

I never use them, just sell them to a vendor when I get them from daily dice

 

[l_remmie]

The sole purpose is to help other people.
1ddo point for that seems reasonable.

Now its time to remove soooo much useless junk like healers kits from the store.

 

[rabidfox]

They're really handy for if someone doesn't know their way in a wilderness zone or for raids.

 

[Gragahn]

Awesome!

 

[Owlbear]

I prefer to delete them for inventory space over saving them and actually use them...

 

[Alternative]

How about making them multiselector, so they don't take so much space?

 

[CaseStringer]

Great! They are useful to mark things for latecomers, like the way we went so you don't run into mobs/reapers we never aggroed. I usually use a different color on different alts

 

[Lyrin]

I never used these things, but I know a ton of people do. I always threw them on the 'Ole plat exchange for 5k. They always sold almost instantly.

I do approve of lowering the point cost, though. They're genuinely useful.

 

[Mornyngstar]

I HAVE BEEN HOARDING THEM AND USING THEM SPARINGLY FOR YEARS!

Now I can use them like penny candy. :LOL:

 

[toaf]

hope they drop too i like the idea of them. almost necessary in the big wildernesses to remember where the rares are

 

[dozensnakes]

Unexpectedly good change.

 

[Gavaleus]

Thank you for this change. While I'd personally still prefer Bigby's Hands to be reusable, (maybe a high one-time price to be able to reuse them forever) I will likely actually pick them up now. I never would have before.

Now could we pretty please get a price reduction for Jeweler's Toolkits? They should be the same price as Sentient Toolkits. It currently costs 3000 DDO Points to change to a new gear set or build.

They're really handy for if someone doesn't know their way in a wilderness zone or for raids.

... wow.
I have tonnes of them and never realised. I thought they'd just be 'visible in normal view' item, not that they'd show on the map - so have only ever used them sarcastically (e.g. when a guildie was unable to find the npc to talk to).

That they showed on the map actually makes them useful (to me).
Thanks for mentioning this.

 

[Putti]

Great start to the much needed price changes. Hope to see more soon!
