Recent AH price is 6m. PM me, please.
(I know these can be used in the Voodoo/Bewitched synth but I don't know if that's a factor in their availability?)

No crafter is going to sell those outright.
They are going to use it to try to get a Voodoo. Especially since there are much better odds of getting a Voodoo using a -1 than not.
Edit: But hey, if you manage to find one, please let me know. So I can laugh at the sucker who threw away easy gil.

Dude obviously wants it for lv75 nonsense, not to line his own pockets. I'll send you a freebie if you haven't found it by Sunday. Laugh away.

Using nq it's 1/64 base, using -1 it's 1/16

Using nq it's 1/64 base, using -1 it's 1/16 So, if I had 16 Cursed Hauberk -1 I could:
Sell them all for 6m and gross 96m
OR
I could try for a Voodoo and gross 10.6m
Even if you HQd on 8/16 you'd still gross less than if you sold them all for 6m to other people who think gambling is profitable.
Have I oversimplified?
Wait, hold on, thought of a better way of expressing it:
If you go for Voodoo on a Cursed Hauberk -1 you have a 93.7% chance of turning it into something that is worthless.

If you had 16 Cursed Hauberk -1 and tried to sell them on AH (especially on Asura), you could:
Waste a spot for selling stuff for months, if not years, at a time, even if you only sell 1 at a time, or:
Spend the time instead leveling Smithing to 123 and not only get your Voodoo at a fraction of the price, but also have insane profits from the other Voodoo which you would sell at not only a larger profit, but also at an increased pace than selling Cursed Hauberk -1s.
Edit: Considering only 5 have sold in 2019, and going by that pace, if you start selling 16 today, you might sell the last one by the end of 2020.

Also, there's a reason why crafters do not buy them from AH to try to upgrade them into something sellable.
Who in their right mind would buy something for 6 mil gil that A) have a 1/16 base chance of turning into an item worth 10 mil, and B) still require them to have a skill level greater than the base synth in the first place.
Again, I would laugh at anyone willing to throw their money away, at the same time offer them a deal on an island in Colorado.

The 16 hauberks analogy is just to show how the numbers are in his favor. I see no reason why a crafter wouldn't sell the -1 for 6m when a successful Voodoo craft is only worth 10.
Y'all are really reaching for a reason to railroad this dude.

Y'all are really reaching for a reason to railroad this dude. What's the going rate for crafters to HQ for somebody else? Is it generally acceptable to be 10% of the HQ price?
If so, then he is betting that he can get a Voodoo for 7.5 mil instead of 10 mil. He has a 1/16 chance to do so. If that's the case, by all means, I hope he finds somebody to sell him the -1. Because it's a 15/16 chance he will fail, and he is out at least 6.5 mil, if not the crafter demanding the 1 mil to synth up front, which I would recommend.
It's not a gamble worth it imo, but if he wants to do that, then it's his gil which he could use to actually level the craft to synth it himself....

You don't understand economics. Look up opportuinity cost.
If you buy the item for 6m, fail the synth, you waste 6m.
If you craft the item, fail the synth, you waste 6m because you could have gain 6m by selling it.
Whether you buy the item or synth it, it is still worth 6m and if you turn it into crap you lost 6m.

Dude, since I started this thread I made enough gil to make up the difference between a Voodoo and the Cursed Hauberk -1. If I wanted a Voodoo, I'd buy one.
Do you honestly think I would go through the hassle of posting here and having to suffer your opinions, merely to save 2.5m? I've been playing this game for 12 years and I have posted on this forum 14 times. I have WAY better things to do with my time.
I'd just like Cursed Hauberk -1, please. Thanks.

Whether you buy the item or synth it, it is still worth 6m and if you turn it into crap you lost 6m. Obviously you don't understand a key component of economics yourself, namely supply and demand.
Opportu nity cost is a key factor to end products, not work-in-progress. Why would anyone sell something for 6 mil that almost never sells when they can do 1 more event to try to bump it up to 10 mil? Why should they stop at 6 mil when it's so easy at that point to go up to 10 mil? Why haven't you discussed the opportu nity cost of the lost 4 mil from a possible HQ? Especially when there's the ability for crafters to HQ or bust without worrying about NQ items?
You are ignoring a major, key factor in this, as there is next to zero demand from anyone worthwhile in making this.
Dude, since I started this thread I made enough gil to make up the difference between a Voodoo and the Cursed Hauberk -1. If I wanted a Voodoo, I'd buy one. Then why do you want a level 75 armor that is vastly outdated as soon as you turn 80? One that, as soon as you uncurse it, it's value becomes zero.
So, in addition to economics, you also have no knowledge about value.

I'd just like Cursed Hauberk -1, please. Thanks. Good luck finding one.
Don't worry, I'm sure when you do find one, you will just come here to gloat about it. Fine by me then, gloat about how you wasted 6 mil for absolutely nothing, when a vastly superior item looks exactly the same as what you just wasted money on.
Go on. I'm waiting.

Best bet will be getting mats and finding someone to craft it for you. Which, strangely enough, may cost him the 6 mil on average to get it. Depending on how often he can find a Hauberk.
Unless he gets lucky and goes 1/1 on it. I urge any crafters to charge him 6 mil anyway for synthing it for him.

Can you still lose the Cursed Hauberk -1 on a fail? Yes, but there's a chance you won't lose it due to the -20%.
Unless that recipe requires that hauberk to be a critical fail, then you are SOL. But I don't think it is because if that's the case, Voodoo would be much higher.
By Prong 2019-07-03 14:39:52
These are hard to find because they are one of the biggest pains in the a$$ to make, being you have to make a Haubergeon (8 mats) then from that a Hauberk (4 mats + Haubergeon) then the cursed hauberk attempt (which is 7 mats + Hauberk and one of those mats is Southern Pearl, which only drops from Sea Hog and sometimes rarely on AH). Plus with all the high sub craft requirements, it's not an easy HQ even with Stage 4 shield.
So most Smithers don't just arbitrarily make these to sell for profit, being that if they truly go for only 6 (cursed -1) OR 10 Mill (voodoo) on Asura, it's not worth their time/inv space. You honestly may be better off gathering a handful of Hauberks/other mats and finding someone to craft one for you.

So lets see:
a)
You are ignoring a major, key factor in this, as there is next to zero demand from anyone worthwhile in making this. There is no demand? How about the guy asking for it on the damn forum?
B)
Then why do you want a level 75 armor that is vastly outdated as soon as you turn 80? One that, as soon as you uncurse it, it's value becomes zero.
So, in addition to economics, you also have no knowledge about value.
So the guy explaining supply & demand sees no value on an item which someone made an offer for..........
May be for you the -1 has the same value than for me a frogs hat has.
But guess what? Dibble made an offer for the exact value the item has within the market (which is what ever the hell he is willing to pay for it). And if i had it, i would probably offer it to him for 8m and he would probably pay it.
You clearly have no understanding of supply & demand.
Lastly thank you for killing our neurons with your brilliant post.
C.C. After 30.8k+ posts you should go find something else to do with your life.

Was going to make a post about how pathetic, petty, and immature some people are and how they go to such great lengths to desperately prove a point and grow they epeen. But then I realized it’d be pointless because anyone who’s like that wouldn’t glean any wisdom from their behavior being called out and anyone who’s that childish would just stir up another argument. Truly sad and pathetic how people can be like that.
I hope you got the cursed piece you were looking for and *** these *** for making a simple post into a disgusting display of human interaction.

there are no stupid questions guys, just stupid answers.
and be assured you'll get to read all of the later ones if you ask a question around here.
Recent AH price is 6m. PM me, please.
(I know these can be used in the Voodoo/Bewitched synth but I don't know if that's a factor in their availability?)
