Goodbye Seraph Zivre

[Adoede]

Sadly, I had to sell Seraph Zivre to make room for a new glad. (If I retired him, it would re-roll the slave market and I'd lose the one I wanted to buy)

Seraph Zivre - 70 76 100 76 87 65 73 1099 gp
Elaar Theatrics
Was sold with 20 soulbound legendary items to his name
Sold at a price of 173,162 gold pieces

and introducing his replacement:
Seraph Ziymn - 95 81 91 82 78 70 70 1145 gp
Human Theatrics

See you in the pit!

[Megamieuwsel]

Looking good!

Btw.- Just to be sure: Retiring a glad always re-rolls the slave-market?
I ask, because I have a glad-to-be-retired (Schnoll, despite her doing quite well so far) and I was waiting for a good slave to fill the gap Dita's retirement left before I retire her.
I might take my chances and get another go at it.

[Adoede]

Yes, retiring a glad automatically resets the slave market. So if you want one in there and you don't have room in your stable, you have to sell your glad outright to get the new one.

[Kreegan]

Bah, he was mediocre anyway. ;) You should have done that earlier.

[Adoede]

I have plenty more of those mediocre guys waiting to be dumped:) It just took this long for a good slave to appear in the market to take his place. In the meantime, I kept him around for the extra gear refresh at the end of seasons.

[saijo]

Does the selection of HOL slaves improve depending on what rank your gladiator is when you retire them?

[Ghkg]

No. My most expensive slave did cost 1160 and that is propably one of the most expensive slaves in the game. The slave I retired to get that slave is behind some of my non-hol slaves in rankings so he performed very poorly.

[Ghkg]

Looks like it's goodbye to Seraph Mertell as well. Does Adoede have any replacement in sight?

[Adoede]

1160 gp! Whoa...I've seen literally thousands of HOL slaves in the market over the years and my best is 1155 gp. Second is only 1145 gp. That said, some of my most effective glads are not that expensive, so go figure.

Yes, Seraph Mertrell is also retired now...as is Seraph Murtok.
Seraph Mertrell - 70 78 98 75 78 81 73 1098 gp Elaar Theatrics
Seraph Murtok - 73 81 89 89 82 69 72 1114 gp Urk War

Mertrell was also one of my first HOL slaves...and Murtok was my War Cry experiment...

Their replacements are just ok. I'm still waiting for my 1160 gp HOL slave:)

Seraph Muse - 93 88 71 83 85 76 64 1130 gp Trug Theatrics
Seraph Mercato - 87 78 82 84 91 67 63 1130 gp Human War

And I did use ~800 trophies to scan the market for decent replacements since I got tired of being patient...if something better than Mercato comes along, I'll switch him out.

[Adoede]

Hey Ghkg, mind sharing the stats on that 1160 gp guy? I'm always curious to see how the game rates slaves stats vs gp cost

In the spirit of sharing, here's my best:
Seraph Zanso - 82 82 84 89 94 73 67 1155 gp

[oedi]

best slave ive ever seen is 1142, and ive spent thousends of trophies to search for new slaves. now ive more or less given up searching and just take whatever comes over 1125 or so

[Ghkg]

Sure. Here are my 3 most expensive slaves:
Prime Evil: 90-90-81-86-88-64-64 cost 1160
Pure Terror: 88-81-88-85-85-73-80 cost 1145
Pure Evil: 89-72-92-90-83-68-64 cost was 114-something. I don't remember the price exactly since bought this one year ago.

I too would be satisfied with everything that costs over 1120 unless there are stat like stamina or size too low. Pure Terror and Prime Evil were both first slaves that went over that price. And I too have spent thousands of trophies to slave market refreshes after running out of patience :)

[Megamieuwsel]

Looks like my 2nd HOL-slave(Marly Diettrich) was a lucky hit then:
1136 GP
82,94,80,86,77,70,74

't Was the high Int and nice Stam-score that sold me...;-)

Now I just need to figure out how to bring out her full potential...

[Adoede]

Those are some nice glads Ghkg - I'm most impressed with Pure Terror - 580 stat points! Ahhnold had 590, but Pure Terror is the second best I've seen. Talk about a versatile glad...you could make anything out of that!

[saijo]

What determines if a Slave can be retired and at what level?

[Megamieuwsel]

Lvl 50, must have fought 1000 fights with over 50% win-ratio, must be in Primus and not locked in a blood game.
Or
Reach Blood Gods Bracket and not in Blood Game.

[saijo]

Wow...ok, guess I need to add some skill points to patience. Thanks for the answers all and good luck on the sands.
