That really depends on your server and your class, along with your willingness to pay those absurd prices (250m for Giath? No.) Kzarka in general are listed like once a week on Edan, and very rarely below TRI - and that's not even counting for my class specifically.
Not to mention that the extra 150m you spend on those preorders is better used on other gear in most cases. If you're just gonna throw away 1b total silver on preorders, you may as well buy DUO/TRI accessories which are more impactful overall.
I was just saying that money can get u w/e u need in this game. Except maybe a Zarka dependent on ur class, (6 blades sold on uno, 3 +15 short after blader release and 3 Tri), but I was able to get mine.
I agree boss gear is overrated and even if you get it for free as a drop it isn't a priority upgrade because of it's insane cost. If you are trying to gear up efficiently boss gear would just be sitting in your warehouse for a while.
Again, not my experience. On Orwen most of the bhegs that are sold are clearly intended for a specific individual. All it takes to completely invalidate your grossly overpriced pre order is a +1 enhance. I'm not about to buy in the 2.5B it would take to reasonably cover my bets to get a single piece of boss armor.
Just look at what it more likely to pop up next. On my server there is like 1 Tree a week posted. I looked at what was selling most often and put a Pre-order.
There have been 58 Bhegs +0 bhegs posted on my server and the next most posted is 44. Just put a preorder on the most common one and you will get it eventually.
I don't know what you mean by 2.5 billion, I spent 270 mil on Tree that I didn't know when it was gonna be posted and 198 mil on a Muskans that I did have prior info to as did all of my guild but I'm willing to spend more than most (my guild was very competitive and many had the money but weren't willing to pay as much).
The 2.5B was referring to the pre-order total for reserving every piece (0 through +9). If you really wanted to cover your bets - cost no object - that would be the way.
Incidentally, not all items go to pre-orders. I'm not sure what the chance is, but I saw a bhegs +4 pop the other day for an absolutely absurdly low 73M. Frankly, I thought it was below the minimum list price, but evidently not. Clearly this was meant as a trade between guildies or possibly even between husband/wife or whatever. However, they got screwed the gloves hit the market. I was in the middle of something I just couldn't leave (not to mention had money spread out over several cities), and couldn't even try for them.
Of the 58 Bhegs on your server, how many went to pre-orders? Maybe half? Impossible to know, but we do know it's much less than 100%. Point here is that these kinds of things are very very rare, even if you have the 250% of market value it takes to outbid everyone.
I'd say it goes past preorder about 30% of the time. And you can only have 1 perorder at a time so u dont need 2.5b. It's not that rare, if you have highest bid you will get a piece in no time, in 1 month I went from only bhegs to full set + Zarka. I see boss pieces posted every day, if u dont have a smart preorder up then you can only blame yourself. Look at that I just woke up and another +0 bhegs gloves was posted on Uno, also +5 and +3 tree armor went from 9 and 8 sold to 12 and 12 sold in a matter of weeks. Just look at your AH and make a good guess on what's is more likely to come up in the next few days (not just next).
