Did you check the backroom or put in an assist to try to get it back?

Well, you know, prices on things have gone down drastically after DR...

On a serious note, yes, that is assist worthy.

<The value of a forged weapon is dependent upon how much of was the metal used, the strength and the durability, but not the quality Elegant, well-made, or perfect, or anything else.>

I'm pretty sure it's the type of weapon that matters, not how much metal was used to make it. For example, forged short swords sell to the pawn for much less then forged spikestars despite them both using the same amount of metal... and spikestars and morning stars sell for the same even though morning stars use more metal.

It does annoy me that insignificant stats like strength and durability vary so much from piece to piece. Not cause it affects the value at the pawn but because it means that, all else being equal, superior weapons won't stack in my shop. I wish they'd make those values standard for each quality of weapon like everything else in a weapon forged by a Master Blacksmith...


<A Quality of Game Life improvement might be to allow 'perfect' forged weapons to go to the backroom, and to be valued consistently with similarly enchanted and weighted weapons. That way the penalty one pays for pawning perfect, is the coin value Kilron or other pawnshops assign to it.>

+1

I haven't lost any perfects I've made to this cause I'm paranoid enough to locker perfects before hitting the pawn after a combining session, but it would be tragic for someone to accidentally grab their perfect weapon and sell it rather then that drake weapon they meant to sell.

<Also, shouldn't player-purchased WPS increase the value? This katar was weighted slowly over time but still probably had at least 6k of BS put into it. As evidenced by DR drops, temp weighting sure does add to assessed value.>

Pawn shop values get really wonky with once you start adding properties to weapons, I'm not sure if it's just with forged weapons or weapons in general. The first dagger below is a perfect I made that's been enchanted up to 7x and had snake flares added to it along with 1-2 CER above that provided by razern (would have appraised at 2-3k fresh from the forge, if I remember correctly). The second dagger was purchased OTS from some event and brought up to 7x with no other properties. Both appraised by the same character:

You ask the pawnbroker to appraise a perfect razern dagger with a silver-fanged eel wrapped around it.
The pawnbroker turns the dagger over in his hands a few times.
Relnyard says, "Hmm, a fine weapon of note. I s'pose I could go 10,317 silvers for this."

>glanc
You glance down to see a mithril bracelet dagger in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.
>app dag
You ask the pawnbroker to appraise a mithril bracelet dagger.
The pawnbroker turns the dagger over in his hands a few times.
Relnyard says, "Hmm, a most impressive weapon of note. I s'pose I could go 16,379 silvers for this."
