Ulfbrikt on the lookout for Skibi's Pendant and Guttbuster

[Tek7 (Legacy)]

There are two snazzy blues I'm keeping an eye out for: Skibi's Pendant and Guttbuster. Of course, since these items can fetch a handsome sum on the AH, I'm willing to pay for them.

If either of these items drop for you, please send me an in-game mail or tell and we can discuss prices. If you see either of these items for a low price on the AH, please send an in-game mail or tell.

How much do these items usually go for? Skibi's Pendant typically runs between 75g and 100g on Stonemaul. I believe Guttbuster runs between 40g and 50g. If you spot either of these items at 66% or less of their normal price on the AH, please contact me.

I'll need to make a few levels before I can use either, but I like to plan ahead. When I hit level 48, I plan to return to PvP and tear it up.

I'm also watching for Serpentskin Cloak and Bloodlust Bracelets, but those I can pick up for a few gold each on the AH.

EDIT: If I don't have Guttbuster by the time I hit level 47, I think I'll gather the mats and place an order for a Thorium Rifle. Which do you all think is the better gun?

I want ahead and bought all the base mats for a Thorium Rifle and a Sniper Scope (see related thread), so I'm not too concerned about finding or buying Guttbuster now.

So, how do these guns (Guttbuster and Thorium Rifle) compare?

EDIT: Added Falcon's Hook to my wish list.

UPDATE: I recently purchased Guttbuster for 35g. (On a side note, I also purchased Falcon's Hook.)

I now have a Thorium Rifle with a Sniper Scope attached, and a Guttbuster along with a second (separate) Sniper Scope.

To make matters more complicated, I looted a Sniper Rifle of the Falcon while slaying pirates with Planky last night. I'll likely use the second Sniper Scope on that gun, then switch over to Guttbuster and have a third Sniper Scope made at level 45.

Phew.

So, back to my previous question: How do the Guttbuster and the Thorium Rifle compare?

EDIT: I decided to skip buying Skibi's Pendant and instead grind reputation with the Silverwing Sentinels once I start PvPing again at level 48 to buy a Sentinel's Medallion.

Guttbuster has a bit more dps and can be used couple lvls earlier than the thorium rifle hence you get a longer use out of it. In short guttbuster > rifle.

In short guttbuster > rifle.

Roger that. I have two Sniper Scopes sitting in Spenser's bank right now. When I hit level 45, I'll attach one to Guttbuster, send it to Ulfbrikt, and start shootin'.

Now I just have to find someone willing to pay around 12g for the enhanced (Sniper Scope attached) Thorium Rifle, to recover the cost of mats and tip. Anyone around level 47 looking for a good but inexpensive alternative to Guttbuster?
