Guild Wars 2

Am i missing something?
It has spiked like crazy, should i buy some to sell later so i dont miss out like i did with silk, kitten NPC vendor making a killing at my expense…

Ascended armor crafting is coming

ascended armor next tuesday, expect all leather, metal and fabric mats to spike

Yea I noticed orichalcum spiked up to 7s as well. Means I make more after I cash in my farms for the day! Woot!

The leather has been available for over a month… Either people don’t know this or… well that’s the only explanation I have. You can buy all the ascended leather squares you will ever need at cost off the TP. People buying up leather must be ignorant of this fact.

At an expensive cost that is.

It is still well worth crafting Elonian Leather Squares and has been so for quite a while now.

But hey if you need more Elonian Leather Squares and you can’t craft more than 1 Spool of Thick Elonian Cord (one of its ingredients) per day, feel free to buy it off the TP for a premium. That’s how I make my gold.

The confirmation that Ascended Armor is coming on December 10th has caused people who were procrastinating to pull the trigger on their purchase of the leather they will need.

There are almost definitely speculators making purchases as well, though the smart ones would already have a stockpile by now.

Nope -speculators dont buy now, they alraedy did months ago. Now buy the casual speculators and People who think they are smart by prebuying overpriced materials for next week

yesterday i sold 150k jutescrap to 20 copper buyd for 10, 100k woolscrap for 80 coppper buyd for 45 , alot linen and cotton, some gossamer scrapss and 30 bolt of gossamer – tons other stuff

still have some for the patch – but speculators allready made their money back and go for the next^^

What Romek said, people who trade in this manner prepare way before it comes out. How some people cant see certain mats will go up, months before they do is beyond me. I started stockpiling gos when it was below 2s and continued till it hit 4. As I am sure many other traders have.

I would speculate, but I’m a packrat as it is and my bank is already overflowing. No space to warehouse goods.

You have unlimited Room in TP. High Volume Items like t1-5 Cloth i buyd and listed on 30%+ again.

Noone has room to store 100.000s items

Which is why for crafting materials like these, only store the refined version if you have to use actual slots (i.e. outside of your collectibles pane) to store them. For example, store cured coarse leather squares instead of coarse leather squares. This would help you to store more.
