The orb is the mystery to me. Its a great item, but only for classes
that can't really use it.

How many int casters are willing to trade a lot (Stein of Mogguk is
cheaper) of mana for the ac/hp? As I said maybe necros and mages who
solo a lot (I know my mage wasn;t very concerned with his total mana,
since he had more than enough to cast away anything he could solo).

Bards have dual wield before they can afford the item (twinks a side, I
gues sit has value to a twink). And since you can't hold an instrument
with it, its pretty much worthless to them.

In any case we camped the scryer for 4 hours and got two of them (along
with 3/4 braceltes we wanted for our wizard and necro), so I am happy
about their value. We are going to sell them and use the money to buy
the jewels we need for some class armor for our bard and myself...
(since we haven't gotten much equipment lately)
