Due to an increasing demand, the price for the Rapiers has increased as of December 2016. However, it has not increased to the page's original false amount, which had a wrongful AUSP of 50 - 150 million.
An ideal price should fall between the new given range. Any less than 30 million and the buyer has a fairly good deal. Any higher than 70 million and the seller is trying to rip you off.
Even with dupers, the price has remained fairly high due to it completely outclassing the Shade with its stats, even though both had the same level requirement.
In the Christmas 2023 update to the game, the Ancient Rapier’s level req. and stats were changed, removing the speed boost for health regen, making it the second best in the game for health regen, therein being a comparable swap-out to the Aquaburst.
