Legolas, I must be the millionth player on NWN since Scott G - because I also pulled the Cutting Star out of a hat. I was equally astonished to see how valuable it was. As I play a Paladin who can't use Exotic weapons, it is only of sale value to me.
On this subject - how can you determine the actual value / price of an item. I know that at least one shop in each chapter buys / sells at a better rate than other shops.
In Chapter 2 the Shops buy The Cutting star for 16133 gold and then resell it for 69144.
Legolas gave these statistics
The Cutting Star:
Damage Bonus: Fire 1d6 Damage
Enhancement Bonus +2
On Hit: Blindness DC=14 25% / 3 Rounds
Total Cost: 46096
Required Lore: 20
Required Level: 15
This suggests that Chapter 2 shops buy for 35% of actual value and resell at 50% more than the actual value. Chapter 3 shops have a different set of buy/sell percentages
Question - how can you determine the actual value and stats for any object? Some of the Description do not give all the necessary info. eg Boots of Speed give a big boost to Armor Class
Lastly, the stats above for The Cutting Star mean that this kukri can inflict between 4 and 12 HPs damage with a possiblity of Blinding the opponent 1 turn in 4. For that, it seems rather highly priced !!!
