WTF? Bows cost how much?!?

I piled on layers of defense and am still doing decent enough in low reds. You don't need a 6L. Some skills you don't even need a 5L.

I had 13c from expedition content well before act 5, it's not that expensive.

I'm trying to challenge myself to only purchase gear for each character when I get to maps, but I've had really bad luck this league in getting decent bow drops so I figured I'd check prices for a low-mid tier 6l bow. Holy crap. A normal quality 6l SHORT bow is STARTING at 13c. Is this normal? Why are bows so expensive?

How much do you think they should be?
I see you're not a new player,but if you don't have 13c to buy an item the rest of the game is going to be really rough for you.
Game shits out divination cards that people love to parrot are "rare" but they actually arent at all which is why you see floods of specific items that no longer have value like 6Ls.
Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

Labyrinth salt farm miner.

"But my build diversity" , "Game is too hard!" - Meta drone playing the same 1-3 builds for years.
a 6 link should be the result of an average of 1000 fusing being used on an item.

that a 6 link uncorrupted bow is selling for 13c is absurd and just shows how much div cards have completely fucked up the item situation in this game. a 6 link should be chase, it shouldnt be "i ran 5 maps and where is my 6 link?".


i guess with poe2 this sort of gets fixed.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)
It is "expensive" for newbie if the bow you need for the build is 13ex

You can ask for vet to fund you if it is just 13c

That's a bit of a stretch. They're only worth what the buyer is willing to pay for them.
Div cards are the biggest cause of these on the market, but let's not forget this is a white item.
Remeber when a 6-link was a luxury? O.o

LOL I had no idea I was starting a firestorm. I am a somewhat new player (I started playing at the beginning of last league) and hadn't had to buy anything besides 6l armor before, so it was surprising to me to see normal quality, low base items selling for a similar price to a 6 body armor with OK mods.

The post was really about the RELATIVE price of a bow VS a body armor, which was my only experience buying 6l items before. It's now been made abundantly clear that my sense of what price levels were was way off.
I guess he meant 13ex ? if thats the case, yeah they are expensive, good ones start from 10ex and the really good ones from 20ex. in Ultimatum i got a 30ex bow from someone, but it was the final days and he gave it to me for 9ex.

However, last league you could do end-game smoothly with a cheaper bow, but this league since the damage is pathetic and monsters are buffed you have to build towards the expensive ones, thats why most builds this league are so expensive since the mid-tier version of them kinda sucks.

no, he didnt mean ex. he was literally looking at a white (no mods) 6 link short bow.

we have FIRMLY established that he was pricing things in chaos.
