Guild Wars 2

So… I have all this stuff packed into the guild bank…

It’s not a huge treasure trove with stacks and stacks of things, but I do have close to, or over, 1000 of several T5 materials, along with 4000mithril ingots, etc.

related stuff:
I have all my crafting professions to 400, two at 500, and a third at ~480.
When I need something for one of my lower level characters, I generally buy it because stuff is so cheap that it is more efficient to just buy as opposed to time invested to crafting. That or I just use things I get as drops as my characters progress.

So my request would be advice, including peoples opinions on the pro’s/con’s of doing a market dump.

The reason I’m considering it is that I’m a few hundred gold short of having enough to purchase the precursor I need to finally finish my legendary. Since precursor crafting is just a big joke at Anet that they use to string players along, I’m stuck with needing to buy it (because there’s no way in hell one will ever drop for me).

If I’m not crafting stuff, and the items are just sitting around, is there any hidden drawback I’m missing to just dumping the stuff onto the market for gold?

Dumping is fine, just be sure to dump at the right price. Check the history of the item to see if it is currently up or down and only dump if it is up.

You should also check to see if it would be more profitable to craft it before you dump it. For example, sometimes the ingots are worth more than the ores needed to make them, so if you convert the ores into ingots first you’ll make more money.

You have T5 and mithril. The only thing you are missing is elder logs.

I suggest you go craft up rare greatswords to sell.

Or if you want to risk it, gamble on the forge

I’m guessing you are saying there is a steady market for the swords primarily because people buy them in bulk to throw into the forge?

Pretty much.
