So uh why is Voltaxic rift expensive?

I mess around in standard from time to time thus I bought one of those bows for a 20 exalted quite some time ago now I see it tripped the price even non-linked da fuck haha

So enlighten me?

Unless I can answer my question right here and pretty much say it only drops in 78 maps and it neglects reflection other then lightning thorns.

I wish GGG did what they suggested. Personally not a fan of map only drops.

Because reflect is the main issue for any crit-based builds.

And because this is top tier bow for ele damage archers like seaworths SA/chain build which is very powerful and it can be even made to top MF /clear speed character with enough funding.

Plus it's rare and best, That's why it's expensive. It's not proportionally as good as good 6L ele bow but neither is Ferrari 50x more quicker and luxurious then normal car, but it's still priced at 50x more.

Rise.

... and shine doctor Freeman.

Its one of the highest item level map only uniques in the game as well as ignores reflect. So yeah, you answered your only question. Generally, price of an item is based on its supply vs demand. Right now, Voltaxic is rare, but every archer wants it. You do the math.

But unless you're running said high level maps you certainly don't NEED this bow right?

Anything "gated" behind maps is unneeded to faceroll normal content. Gear progression is actually done quite well in this game IMO, the last F2P I played was neverwinter and most groups required full T2 gear just to get into the T2 dungeon, that is not the case here.

I kept doing dailies in that game just to see if it one day became good, but so far, its not.

I gave up after the archer was added and saw they did nothing to help the survival or healing ability of the cleric, so I said screw it. The fact that you literally need gear score of T2 gear to get into a T2 dungeon speaks volumes for that game.
