Place 6 – Echoing Fury Mace from Diablo 3 – $14,000
What kind of game is this? Diablo 3 is still a popular action RPG from Blizzard. To control the flourishing trade in items for real money, there was initially a real money auction house where players could sell particularly valuable items in the game and make a profit.
What kind of item is this? The Echoing Fury Mace is a mace that is particularly effective at smashing hordes of demons. The item is also very rare, and so it happened that a player who once found it sold it for $250.
However, as word got out about how good the item is with the stats mentioned here, the demand and price rose significantly. In the end, the item was sold for a hefty $14,000. This corresponds to a value of about €12,700 today.
Why is it so expensive? The combination of powerful stats and the overall power of the item have driven the price up. However, according to various people in the Diablo community, the item is too expensive and not really worth the high price.
Place 5 – “Sword” from Age of Wushu – $16,000
What kind of game is this? Age of Wushu (or Wulin, depending on the region) is a Chinese martial arts MMORPG. You embody a martial artist who fights through a world inspired by medieval China with bare hands or exotic weapons.
What kind of item is this? Even before the game’s release, the developers held an auction where various items from the game were auctioned off, including maps and accessories.
And then there was this one sword. It was a particularly powerful sword, and players bid increasingly absurd amounts for it. In the end, the sword was sold for $16,000 to the new owner. That would be approximately €14,000 today.
Why is it so expensive? To understand the immense value of this item, you must know that it is a truly unique item. The “Sword” only exists in this form once and also has very good stats that make the game overall easier.
