Hi all,
How much will the Barghest battleship cost when they start appearing on the market given the Nestor was 1-2 billion ISK when they first appeared?

It'll start at some 2-3bil and drop with supply.

How long will it be before the cost starts to drop?

Depends on the demand and supply. If you desperately want one, go ratting in low-sec.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

A bit under the market I expect.

More like 50 Dollah initially.

given the low pve competition in lowsec belts, it should be possible to acquire one there rather easily. Cool

1 massive difference, the nestor has LP attached to it which has value which means the cost of the ship can never really go below a certain amount, the only supply for these ships will be low sec belts, i expect them to remain fairly expensive although it depends how useful they end up being for anything, i might scoop one if i get bored :P

100 isk initially, assuming they make it to the public test server before the release.

Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.

Something along these lines.

Maybe for the first 24-hours. I expect that they'll start out around $2-billion and drop to between $1.25 and $1.5-billion within a week.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Will depend on the drop rate.

Revenant BPCs are up around 80 Bill even though no-one actually buillds or flies the things just because the drops are rare. Though in the case of the Revenant there is no demand from ship spinners because you can't.

Somewhere between the lowest cost for a pirate battleship and the highest cost for a pirate battleship.

More than nothing, less than everything.

To be serious, I'd say we'll see wild fluctuations the first couple of days while people work out what role it will fit into best. After the first week, I'd say 1 to 3 billion ISK depending on supply and usefulness. I'm personally more interested in what the first one is going to sell for. 5 billion? 50 billion?

They can be purchased from the Mordu’s Legion LP store in Pure Blind for the following prices:

Garmur Blueprint: 20,000 LP and 10,000,000 isk
Garmur: 80,000 LP and 5,000,000 isk
Orthrus Blueprint: 80,000 LP and 20,000,000 isk
Orthrus: 240,000 LP and 15,000,000 isk
Barghest Blueprint: 400,000 LP and 100,000,000 isk
Barghest: 800,000 LP and 80,000,000 isk

The larger part of the supply will come from a set of new NPCs that will spawn in all lowsec asteroid belts. These will be uncommon npcs with a similar rarity to hauler spawns. Each NPC will appear by itself and will drop the blueprint for its associated ship 100% of the time. The chance of these Mordu’s Legion NPCs spawning is equal in all areas of lowsec.


So initially they will be several billion ISK, but the price will drop quickly depending on how many people switch to running mordu's legion missions. Even so their LP will probably be worth a fair bit, but I'm no expert. So depending on where the ISK/LP exchange rate ends up, they could be anywhere from 0.8B-1.6B imo.
