Really not sure on this shard - it is 100% for a valorite runic if someone was able to sling it all together.

Value of a 20x Valorite Plate Helm BOD?

That bod is worth a TON I'd guess. Since I highly doubt a valorite runic has even been owned on this server as of yet.. and a valorite runic would be worth insane gold (likely 20 million+, perhaps even double or triple that, I dont even know)...
Will you find anyone willing to fork over what it's actually worth? Likely not.
Will you find someone willing to give you a million or so just in hopes that they get the other 6 bods needed at some point? Maybe.
If you plan on playing this server a while, I'd hold onto it however and pray for good luck getting bods the next year or so, hehe. And if you do get all those valorite plate bods in the next year, you might think about heading to Vegas as well! Hehe.
But it's real value is a ton I'd guess. Prolly easy 3 mil+ just for that bod. But really I have no idea. One of those things that's worth a lot more then you'll prolly get offered just because even if every smith on this server worked together to try and assemble all the bods needed, it would still take a miracle even in the next six months to get all those val plate bods.
While you've posted this though.. I'd toss this question out there...
DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE ANY OF THE OTHER VAL EX 20 PLATE BODS THAT WOULD GO WITH STEAMPUNKS HERE?
...Maybe if everyone reads this, and anyone who has one of the bods that would go with this posts here, then you'll get a better idea of what it might take for one of you at some point to get it all together.

I have the helm and gorget. Probably going to sell them off

How long did it take you to acquire both of those Aaron? And running how many smiths? - Just curious.

I've been running one smith for approx. 8 months. Have a second and third now but both were acquired with the first smith
Well lets pay a million to that SBOD..And lets pay 5mil for the rest then pay 3mil for its large and at last fill the deed almost 1000 valorite, lets say 10mil..Then try to sell the hammer 2mil tops, then cry as hell..
my opinion, that small deeds can not worth more than 115 deed price..if i had them, i fill them them get 115 deed asap..cant wait till the rest..

If you look at this thread, someone was trying to get the value for an agapite runic hammer...
http://www.uoforum.com/threads/agapite-hammer.34796/#post-217924
I said prolly 500k then and was scoffed at giving it way too low of a value there.
Halygon, who I respect his experience here said there...
And if an aggy runic hammer is valued, at least by some here as many millions, then I can only imagine that a valorite runic hammer would be 20 million, perhaps more. Obviously, 97% of the community wouldn't offer that much, nor would they even have that much. But if there's a willing buyer, then they would set that value.
Again, since there hasn't even been an agapite runic hammer yet (that I've heard of), there hasn't been a verite hammer yet, and there certainly hasn't been a valorite runic hammer yet.... the value would be MUCH HIGHER just based on rarity alone. I bet we'd all be surprised at what a valorite runic hammer auction would bring if it was placed on these forums.
Now while I can understand the temptation to just turn in a valorite small bod for its own reward.. I'd double think that and maybe look for some patience if it was a good bod, such as a piece of a valorite plate armor set. If it was like a female plate tunic val sbod, or a bronze shield val sbod, sure I'd prolly just turn it in. The plate valorite exceptional bods when the large 10/15 give a 100% verite runic, and the val exceptional 20 plate lbod give a 100% valorite runic. I think turning in just that small for any exceptional valorite plate would be throwing away a ton of potential money. That of course is just my opinion.

Steel - thanks so much for the very insightful comments, and I agree 100%. There are 20X valorite pieces that do not belong to the LBOD (e.g. the shield) that would be perfect for the 115 PS. A valorite runic may be one of the rarest things on the entire shard, as I've not even seen evidence of aggy or gold hammers, much less verite or valorite.
I had estimated about 1 million per piece, with the final val runic worth around 15 million. It would certainly be one of a kind here at UO:F. I like the collaboration idea though - sounds like we've got 2 of the 6 pieces accounted for here on the server. Maybe we can find more over time! I plan to be in for the long haul so I'll hold for now. Just for your information, I have gotten offers around 300k on my WTS thread, which I believe are people trying to get the +15 and make a reasonable profit.

If I was a little richer and could put down a mil without jeopardizing not being able to buy the needed supplies to keep my vendors going... I'd not hesitate for a moment offering one million gold for your bod. I feel completely confident that it is well worth keeping and saving for a potential valorite runic over simply turning in for the 115 PS.
If you still have it in a month or two and want to sell it for a cool million then when my bank balance has grown some, we'll talk then. - Not that you'd even sell it for a million. A million gold is a lot, but if and when I have it to give for something like this.. I'd rather have the chance at a rare val runic over the million gold sitting in my bank. But that's me. I'm sure most people would rather have the million gold.. or even the profits from the 115 PS by turning it in immediately.
Like I say, if you still have it in another month or so... and you would rather have a million gold... ask me to buy it at that point. I'll very likely be willing to pay you a mil for it once I have established a bank account more able to make such luxury purchases.

mostly posting this to brag about my soon to be agapite hammer, but there are currently a handful of people with gold runics (though most would never sell) I don't think one of these has been sold yet but I would value it at around 1 mil, I am about to complete an Agapite runic (today if I can get my last BOD from a guy) and I am considering selling it with a S/B of 2.5 mil.
I would thus value the verite hammer at around 5-7 mil and valorite at 10-14 mil.
People may scoff but a valaorite weapon would be (exceptional, indestructible, Vanquishing, supremely accurate) making it +4 above a perfect weapon. also it could be faction blessed giving it even greater value. some factioner will drop a pretty penny to have a weapon that blows their opponent out of the water.

A valorite runic would have 10 uses I believe. I guess to make it worth 20 million.. people would have to be willing to fork up 2 million for a valorite GM indestructible, vanquishing supremely accurate weapon of their choice. You are correct messremb that it would be +4 above that vanquishing as well due to the GM excellence. Would make a sweet weapon for sure.
How exactly does the faction blessing work anyhow?
And who out there reading this think they would give say... 2.5 million for such a valorite GM weapon if it was one of 10 available from a single valorite runic hammer? - Just curious.

I know there are atleast a couple Gold runics out there, as Malcate and I both have one. Was hoping to be the first to get an aggy runic but it looks like @Messremb is gonna beat me to it! I'm only one small away from it :/
As to what a Val runic would be worth, the sky is the limit. I could only imagine what one of those weapons would be like in a 7x tourny lol

ya, I know blane has one, I would say there probably aren't more than 5-7 on the shard.

15 charges on a valorite hammer.
You sure about that?
Shadow Runic has 40.
Bronze runic hammer has 30.
That makes a gold 25, a aggy runic 20...
so wouldn't a Verite runic be 15... and a Valorite runic only 10?
I could be wrong, but seems each progression in runic hammers has 5 less charges, which by my calculations would put a valorite at only 10 charges.

ya sorry im going of of stratics, it should be 15 but like everything else around crafting here it is messed up and probably only 10
