Mjolner from Zana?

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Zana,_Master_Cartographer#List_of_Unique_Items_for_Sale

Is it true that Zana can sell a Mjolner for 8 chaos at level 8? Or is the wiki trolling us? If so, are the other masters accurate?

Yes I'm well aware it's only a chance occurrence and probably not likely at all.
Level 8 masters can sell multiple super-valuable uniques for super cheap.

Examples



But yeah, the chance of it happening is basically nil. I think a read a dev somewhere say it's equivalent to the chance of a random dropped unique being a Mjolner or whatever.

Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!

even if it is rare, it's highly motivating you to login daily because the game is giving it to you for free and no time investment. which turns me off.
Spoiler

the urge to login because there is the feeling of maybe missing something on sale is counter productive to my normal urge to login into poe because i like to play it.

sounds weird but i have a tendency to getting addicted to games which i fight by forcing myself to play responsibly (casual) in respect to my real life which iss full of duties. so i dislike every non-gameplay related free ingame incentive which tries to make me login.

It turns me on because the chances of getting the item without trading are less than 0.01%, if not lower. So this makes self-found possible.

As for trading, it's possible to get a valuable unique you don't want or won't use and trade it for what you will use or want.
Yes, it's fully possible that, on a rare occasion, a master will offer to sell you a wide range of uniques... Some of them are not worth their asking price (which ranges from 5-10c) though some, of course, like Mjolnir, very much are.

And from what I understand, the odds of them actually HAVING one there... Are the same for one to randomly drop.

Note that this does not reset DAILY, it resets upon finishing that master's daily mission. (finishing = complete or fail) So if you don't actually do a mission, it won't change their inventory.

Keep in mind that it's far from disbalancing... After all, your odds of buying one of those uniques are almost certainly going to be worse than finding one: a master only has a handful of items (and hence possible rolls) every day, yet you make those EXACT same rolls every time you kill one of countless monsters. So going by that logic, you're about as likely to find a unique for sale from a particular master over the course of a YEAR as you are to get one from clearing a single map.

But... It's still a nice perk, sorta, on top of the chance to (with Vorici & Elreon) get some cheap jeweler's/fusing orbs, or the chance to get a quality'd version of most popular gems for 1c.

Sure the chances are low, but it's for a very specific unique. That's a huge chance for people like me that don't put so many hours due to the lower reward factor this game has.
It's not something you should count on, but chancing and masters are a great way of getting expensive and rare unique doo-dads. I like to convert every trash unique I find into chance orbs and burn a pretty high number of those on regular basis, it's pretty much free so it's definitely worth it.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

Last time i tried it I found it way too time consuming.
The time you loose to look through all junk for the specific base is pretty big.
And the total gain is: 5 chance - (unique shards + rare shards + magic shards) so it's pretty small at the end, maybe 0.3c worth of currency.

Unless you got a special way to do it, I don't think this recipe is worth it.

Yeah, I said it's technically free but it usually means spending an alch to get five chances, which isn't really a bad exchange rate. You could do it for free if you're patient enough and got enough room in your stash I guess. Well, I'm spending chances way more than alchs so it's worth it for me.

I don't do it for currency gain, I don't really trade currency, I need chance orbs and that's a way to get them.
