You win the roll and the warlock goes crazy, thinking he should get it because he wouldn't sell it (he was going to give it to someone, he said), etc etc etc.
That was incredibly funny. I needed a good laugh today. Neither of us were going to use it, so we rolled it. He was fine till he lost the roll.
Ah well. Got my first purple item (At level 55). Made my day.
I add to this and share how I got my deathstriker today too. The other rogue there was a huge sweetheart and passed for me, omg. 
Also picked up the nightslayer belt from MC a few days ago.
...
So Fal, you're gonna be funding my epic mount, right? ^_^
Wait, no, I built that myself. Solo forever!

So now you're finally getting a real talent build? 
grats!
I am in ironforge and am auctioning it to see if I can get the price I want if I decide to sell it. Not having any high offers bite yet, but I'm in no rush either.
So...of all people, I get a tell from someone in the guild this Warlock was in. It was another Warlock. But they were cool, as they raid with my guild nightly.
Hilarity.

I might change it post-patch, but right now it's the best talent build for me. 
Very popular endgame setup. Seal of fate + preparation = DEADLY.
I use my deathstriker offhand.

Same; I've been waiting to see the talent changes/fixes they put in the patch to respec. Don't wanna waste 35 gold speccing to destruction or something, finding out they fixed a big thing in affliction and having to respec back or whatever. :/

Not a damn one of the purple Items I've seen, (And really not even a lot of the blue ones) are worth the prices people ask for them... But as long as thier is some farmer out there who was bored enough with nothing to do has the cash on hand, and shells out 600 for an item, the price gouging will never stop. Cause SOMEONE made 600 Gold on it.
Note, Im not really flaming you Fal. Just sucks that people NEVER put things up at reasonable prices for something they wont even use... It hurts us poor people.

Hint: Purple items generally are not worth what they cost. Don't consider trying to buy em. Most of the time, you can get a blue item that's nearly as good for a tenth of the price.
I never even went and put it up on the AH. Sent a message to the IF trade channel and a guy shot me a tell with the offer that I took. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 03-21-2005 at 09:29 AM.

Someone put the formula for Crusader up on the AH for 300g.
It didn't sell.
So they put it up for 600g.
It STILL didn't sell.
900g and 1000g later, it still hasn't sold.
Poor idiot. Literally! Hahah. (These were all buyouts, btw.)

Crusader requires rare materials.. two of which are Righteous orbs. A random (currently white item, soon to be green) drop from Scarlet side of Stratholme. The pattern itself is a <1% drop from outside hearthglen (Afaik), and hordeside.. there are TWO enchanters that have the pattern. One is.. well, an ass. The other is in my guild.
It makes sense that he'd try to get a lot of money for it (It enchants any weapon to proc a 120ish point heal and give you 100str for some seconds.. that stacks), but if it isn't selling at 300g.. or 600.. or 900.. why put it up for 1k buyout?

I thought you saved that for me. I no longer feel special.
I've almost never had more than 100 gold ever, and usually sit at around 20-30 gold, sinking sometimes as low as 3 gold.
I still manage to have fairly spectacular equipment considering I've never been to Molten Core/Onyxia.
Addy is one of the best equipped rogues on the server, and while she has been known to camp a chest spawn or two, I think she's only ever bought one piece of equipment, really.
On the reverse side, I've seen a Paladin with a purple sword, and a purple shield, and then everything else being a green item. (At level 60, I don't wear a single green item except for when I'm healing, then I have some nice Commander's ____ of the Eagle)
Once I start raiding, I'll never buy equipment again, either. Most of the stuff I've gotten recently has been stuff that one person or another sent me that thye got as a drop.
So, yeah. While my gear is pretty damn nice for my level, it is because I don't rely on just quests or whatnot. I buy stuff too. Rarely do I use what I see a drop, it doesn't fit with what I'm doin stat wise. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 03-21-2005 at 04:27 PM.

My only blue items really are weapons, my armor is all green because there just isn't much blue armor thats worth anywhere close to the amount people want for it (with plate armor anyway). Probably will change later if I ever get up into all the raiding and stuff but for now nope.
Hydralick Armor owns.
I wore it for a long time.
And Fal, even before 60, I never bought equipment from the AH (smithing materials, on the otherhand...)
If you feel a slot you wear is lacking, Thottbot it and your level range, and start looking at quests and drops you can get.
With casters, I understand, it can be a bit different, as I know some casters use Illusionary Rod up into the mid 50s. Lashanna fucked around with this message on 03-21-2005 at 04:50 PM.
Sold it for 1g before I even got to the AH. It was only a lvl 16 mace.
I was all the way up to 6g today. . .until I misclicked and bought a stack of crystal vials instead of a stack of lead vials.

Still, I bought my own Brightwood for 200gold off a hapless shaman who didn't seem to realize its value... And I don't regret it. It's also the only thing above 50g I purchased.
Coincidentially enough, the funds for it were built from selling a Krol Blade... Asha'man fucked around with this message on 03-21-2005 at 07:08 PM.

It's not worth throwing down 500+g for a GBS when you already have the crusader staff, though.
I did buy my krol blade. 300g. I got insanely lucky (just look at what Fal got... if he waited for a week he may have gotten another 100g out of the deal). Everything else I've earned.
Why should I pay upwards of 500 gold for a 15 STA/29 INT staff (the other stats mean jack shit to me) when I can get a Trindlehaven staff that's 12 STA/30 INT? Neither of those links work, btw. Either that or Thott is slow. Sure, Trindlehaven is a drop...but I'd rather wait for that than blow the wad I have banked. Even would likely use Argent crusader over blowing 500g on the GBS.
And yeah, Rosa, it is a bit different for casters, particularly for me as a Warlock -- most quest rewards for casters are geared towards INT/SPI. Me, I go for INT/STA. Trust me, I get quest rewards when I can, but it isn't typical that the good gear is INT/STA. Take ZF and ST quests. Most result in items that are useless to me because they don't have an Eagle-equivalent suffix.
I like to think my 4250 HP/4000 Mana is pretty damn good at my level. Sure, I've had to buy AH stuff...but then again, I've never been short on moneey either -- I always have like 20g on me.
Oh, and Addy? That mithril lockbox netted me 30g (It had an Axe of Rin'Ji in it).
And yeah, 700g was potentially possible for the Krol...but I figured 600g was pushing my luck enough on it. so I was happy. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 03-22-2005 at 02:55 AM.

Yeah and if I ever get the strange overwhelming urge to drop 80g+ on chest armor I shall remember that. Bad enough I spent 95g on a weapon, I'm staying away from large purchases for awhile.

I bought my Hydralick armor off a Chinaman for 30g.
I talked a lot and explained how it rated in comparison to other chestpieces, and how there was a better crafted BP that costed 35g in materials (there isn't, really... I fudged numbers).
He went really quiet for awhile then said "ok"
