How much would you pay for these items?

[Forrester]

Instead of asking how much they should cost according to DMG guidelines, which can be wildly off, I'm going to ask how much you, as high-level PCs with lots of cash on hand, would pay for them. Supply and demand and all . . . probably get a much better idea what the correct price should be.

Item #1: Ring of See Invisibility/Darkvision 120'

This ring allows the wearer to continuously See Invisibility (as the spell) within 120'. It also bestows Darkvision (120') on the wearer.

I was thinking something like 40k. Opins? Too cheap? Too pricy? I think it may be too cheap. What self-respecting adventurer wouldn't want such a ring?

Item #2: Cloak of Luck

The Cloak of Luck gives the wearer a +2 Luck bonus to all saving throws. In addition, the wearer may reroll any roll (as per the clerical domain power) with a +4 modifier, once/day.

Maybe 20k? 25k? Or is that way-cheap?


There they are. How much would YOU spend?

 

[MarauderX]

The ring, I might pay 10-15k for it. I probably don't need it as much as some other ring I might want.

As for the cloak, gimme gimme gimme. I would price that out at 100k or more for the whole package. If you are rolling a 1 more than a couple of times in a day and need to reroll, you are in trouble already and your luck has definitely run out.

 

[Forrester]

100k? Really? The +2 luck bonus isn't exactly staggering (though it's admittedly nice that it stacks with resistance bonuses . . . assuming you can find something to give you one that doesn't come in cloak form).

The reroll at +4 must be worth around 80-90k to you. Wow! I take it that if it were just a straight reroll, it'd be worth less?

Be interesting to hear from others on this.

Ring: 15-20 depending on character type and magic level, two 2nd level spells even to extended effect just don't excite me. A Robe of the Eyes does all that and a bag o other stuff and doesn't take up a valuable ring slot.

Cloak 10-15k for Luck part (+2 Luckstone is better for 40kish and it doesn't take up a slot) 40-50k for a reroll (rerolls are great!) even more for a reroll with a bonus. Would I pay 90k for said cloak, no. To many 'better' things to do with that much money. Would I keep such a cloak if found yeah. 75k and you have a sale.

 

[Anabstercorian]

I'd peg the Ring of Eversight at 36,000 gp.

Defiance of Fate (the cloak) would go for about 90k gp.

 

[hong]

The ring: goggles of night cost 8000 gp for 60 ft darkvision. Continuous see invisibility (2nd level spell) would cost 2x3x2000 = 12000 gp. Add these up and double the cheaper one to get 12000 + (2x8000) = 28000 gp.

That's for 60 ft range. Doubling it to 120 ft would probably merit a 25% price increase, which makes it 35000 gp.


The cloak: a +2 luck bonus to saves costs 10000 gp. I'd say the reroll ability is worth 20000 gp by itself, so let's say 40000 gp for the lot. I wouldn't bother with the extra +4 bonus, just the reroll itself is good enough.

 

[Forrester]

Thanks much to Anabster for the names (you can have your Staff of the Penumbra back now!) and to everyone else for the prices.

I think 35k for the Eversight Ring (non-dispellable See Invis/Darkvision is good) works.

As far as the cloak, sounds like it's a min of 40k (with no bonus to the reroll, in a world where you can't get resistance bonuses very easily except with Cloaks of Resistance) and a max of 90k-100k (with a +4 luck bonus to the reroll, and you can dig up other items that give resistance bonuses, meaning you could potentially have a +7 bonus to all saves down the line).

I'll probably allow a +2 luck bonus to the reroll (wouldn't stack with the cloak's normal bonus to saves), and in my world, you can find other items that give resistance bonuses. So say 70k-80k.

Again, thanks all! I'll be posting new magic items every week or so . . . y'all are welcome back!

HI "forrester" it's me - chiming in with my two cents.

The ring is quite valuable, even to a spell csater.

See invisibility defeats both invisibility AND etheralness. Invisibility is a bigger problem for PCs then it is for many mosnters, due to blindsight. And at high level, etheralness is a legitimate threat.

The darkvision is a very valuable ability only becsue of it's stacking, and more improantly it's range. Only a dragon can outsee you in the dark with this puppy on.

How much is that worth? Geez. 40K sounds close. A ring of evasion is quite valuable, and only 25K, but you must be lightly encumbers. Freedom of movement costs 40K, but only has a single power. I always go conservative. I'd say 45K

The cloak is much more valuable than you might think. there are LOTs of things which give resistance bonuses, and "less" things which give luck bonuses. And that's before the reroll ability. A little Sorcerer/Paladin/LoreMaster told me that you are thinking of reducing the reroll bump to +2 - a good start, but it's the reroll, not the bump, that is the thing of beauty here. How much is a "do over" worth?


Again, I'd err high. I'd day 50K, about the same as a major claok of displacement. And players are going to want this all_day_long.
