Guild Wars 2

So me and a couple friends were wondering if it would be a smart idea to buy mint leafs now considering wintersday is coming up? me and a couple friends are not wealthy at all and would like to try and save a little money if the price is to increase. i know anet has a tendency to have these cool crafting materials used in their events that are generally used in the actual holidays. so yea any ideas?

Don’t know but they’re rising in price, although they did dip over the last few weeks

I got 2 words for you: Market Manipulation. Nice try though.

One to many threads popping up with those thread headings.

It’s surprising how you guys scream Market Manipulation so quickly.

Mint leafs are probably not going to go up when they start doing candy cane drops or whatever peppermint thing they have coming.

Does no one remember halloween? They’ll have candy cane nodes and all recipes will use said candy cane.

Exactly, then they will drop like a ton of bricks to 1 copper after.

I don’t know. They used pumpkins at Halloween for spicy pumpkin cookies and omnomberry ghosts. They’re bound to have winter related craftable food but predicting the market can be tricky when a lot of people are trying to make a quick buck. If I recall correctly everything spiked the highest the night before the event actually began.

If you guys really want to speculate over something, glacial cores and lonestone are the most likely to be used in the futur craftable wintersday weapons.
Corrupted and destroyer lodestones are used to make the gift for arachnophobia etc…
So you can pretty safely bet that some lodestones will be used. Which one, if not glacial lonestone, is the most likely to be used?

Mint leaf is just like chocoloate and egg, pure speculation over something that have a pretty low chance to be really used. Plus, OP is obviously making a pump and dmp think since he has also posted this on guru saying that he and his guildmats were certain and that it was obvious that mint leaf would be used.

How long does it take for gw2 spidy to update? In game i see 2.5s per mint leaf, but on gw2 spidy it says 1s something

I don’t know why people keep falling for these pump and dump schemes…

The first rule of trading in GW2 should be, if an opportunity is being talked about on the forums, then it’s already too late for you to take advantage of it (if it even existed in the first place)

i just dont know, i bought about 20 of them at 1.3 silver each, they seem to be holding steady at 2silver though, seems they are going up in price and i can’t compete

If ANet is smart, and mint (or other predictable produce) is needed in holiday recipes,, they’ll have a simple solution planned already, like having special holiday vendors that are selling mint in bulk for a very reasonable price in infinite quantities, or at the very least special “holiday nodes” you can harvest in most zones that include the necessary ingredients for holiday recipes.

After that whole chocolate fiasco I wouldnt be surprised if there were some market manipulation going on here. Seems there are a few people out there that have an easy time taking advantage of human gullibility and an unregulated speculatory market

That would crash the market for all eternity.

Well..i’m investing on eggs.. I believe they may be used for eggnogs maily (remember them from GW1?), as well they are needed to make any cake (Ex: Xmas log, ginger cookies etc…)

I’m providing myself with tons of theses since i believe their price will rise greatly as chocolate and mint are now doing.

So..brace yourserlf… wintersday is coming!

Alright so mint leaf, egg, saffron thread, glacials and I already got a supply of chocolate. Trying to find more ingredients!

Piles of cinnamon and sugar are undervalued right now. They cost 9c minimum to make and are on the tp for 4-5c right now. Their price is also directly tied to the cost of cinnamon sticks.

i expect cinnamon sticks to probably take some sort role in new recipes.

With any luck. There’s no reason why mint should be a high value commodity. It’s mint. Just have it up on vendors for a few copper and leave it at that. Same with vanilla.

True, one of the only RL recipes that uses stick form cinnamon is mulled cider.
