Hey guys,
This is NOT a clickbait. I am not selling/buying Terror keys for an Ist and I do not know of a way to do it lol. Just wanted to share my impressions so far, and hopefully help some players without a clue on pricing on how this can be done, so that they do not wonder why their trade has been up for days with no replies and they do not make fools of themselves. For a price reference, check the last paragraph in this post. For my reasoning keep on reading.
Here is some background, there are keys of Terror, Hate, and Destruction in this game. These are used for the Pandemonium Event etc etc etc. You really do not need to know more, you can read about it by doing a simple google. Anyway, these 3 keys drop from different bosses: Dest from Nihaltak, Hate from The Summoner, and Terror from The Countess. The Hate and Terror keys are easier to farm. The Destruction, however is fastest.
It is generally agreed that a dest Key is worth a bit more than a Terror Key and slightly more or about equal to the hate Key. Why is that? Well, as I said dest keys are thoughest to farm. Nih dungeon can get pretty nasty sometimes with certain mob combinations. Hate keys need some amount of luck when farming but are generally a breeze. Now, they are worth slightly more than the Terror keys because of the boss that drops the Terror keys.
The Countess. Many people farm The Countess because it is a good source of mid-high level runes. And because there are many people running The Countess anyway, they occasionally drop the Key of Terror and want to make some extra profit out of it, so they sell that for runes too. Great, nothing wrong with that. But on top of this... There are people running The Countess specifically for these keys, which makes an oversupply of Terror keys and not such of a big demand. Hence they drop a bit in value. Most of the people targeting the keys, either use them or know their real value. The issue with the " Terror Key for Ist" (well not quite, but you get the idea) comes from the former merchants. They get the Terror Key and want to make as big of a profit as possible, again, nothing wrong with that, this is how it should be. But mostly they do a bad reading of the "price check" tool and think their Terror Key is worth Pul or Um, so they post it for that. At the very start there were these people asking for Pul per Key, now I see some trying to get an Um, and even managed to spot someone asking a Mal! It is always with the Terror keys, and I think I have just given you my understanding of why that is. People farming keys farm all of them and know their prices, people who do not know the price of keys still get Terrors. Needless to say Um and Pul offers do not often find buyers, in fact they almost never do, lol.
So for everyone being in possession of a Terror Key and wondering how to price it. One Key is not worth much, if you get a batch then maybe you can get a better value, but a single Key is Fal- Lem range. If you want your Key to be sold quick ask for Fal. If you do not mind waiting a few hours for the trade ask for Lem. But for everyone asking Um+ for your keys.
Sure keys are rare, you do not get them every turn. But farming The Countess I bet you see waaaaay more Terror keys than you see Um+ runes. Either this is the case for everyone or I am extremely unlucky. But with that in mind, do you really think that your Key is so rare that it is worth an Um?
Did not want this to become a rant and I have tried as much as possible to keep my opinion to myself here. Hopefully someone finds that useful and we can stop the madness (or circus) that is the Terror keys before we see a post of someone asking for an Ist for one, lol. Peace all.
