They are worth something yes, to the right buyer. Some fancy builders don't want dweb or white

I mean it's going to be hard pressed to ever beat a spirit crystal sword. Sadly.

a few ladders back i found the sexiest necro wand i had ever seen (white/socket wise) it was 3 spear 3 spirit with 2 sockets 15 ed. i made white in that so fast and i forget how much it improved my bone necs max spear damage but it was a lot. but thats the problem if its bone or poison since the market does not exist and most users dont build necros anymore its hard selling this type of gear. since the type of gear is so non standard even if people go with standardized gear or custom as you mentioned i almost never list publicly what i have ft since its almost never ask for or bought.


finding 3 poison with either 3 nova + 2 sockets magic i do find quite a few of them since i run shit tons of bots fyi. but its poison damage and its kinda useless pvm and pvp unless vs es sorcs. you can use hybrid necros to bm es based sorcs and that is pretty fun but pvp on lod classic is gone. its just more efficient to build standard high damage bone necs and not use poison since its so easy to counter (fade + stacking antidote potions + kiras) will render an entire build non effective in terms of pvp. what i actually do is when i find poison necros i just give them free poison gear like 5/5 facets or rare or magic orbs because lol fml not like i can sell any of that gear in game or here anymore it has no value. if its a death web with good stats i will keep that on my mule since the value is high. what i also do to add hybrid damage combinations to my standard bone nec is i do use a 3 pnb / 3 nova + 2 socket +2 5/5 on my necs swap 2 side since i dont natively have poison nova as a skill for my bone nec. so if i do find a es sorc ill just splash her with nova and the damage is pretty good and it takes almost no effort to take that class out. so in a way its still wroth keeping but for a very select flew.

I dig answers like these. Some real insight and passion. If everyone did that, the forum would blossom. That's what it needs.
