The "Should I Get This Slave" Thread

[Morvaane]

Is it just me or is getting a good premium slave next to impossible? Its been weeks now ive been sitting with no gladiator, trying to get a decent first premium and only twice did I even see one that reached 1200gp. And they had some low stas in the 70's still. Do I just have over high expectations?

Could just be your expectations. Personally I only touch 1180+ slaves for premium... will only dip lower if they have a really interesting stat spread. The general rule of thumb I follow is around 610-ish or higher for total stat sum, as well as 90+ in an offensive stat (str/agi). Certain stats being lower like in the 70s isn't an issue depending on the glad type. For ex. Rage's are fine with lower Int, a defensive glad can be fine with lower Pres, and a defensive shadow/trixter can be fine with lower Strength. Race can also make up for a lower stat, for ex. going Urk as a rage to make up for lower stamina. Would also never take a premium glad with < 80 size/stamina though.

Hope this gives you a better idea!
