Guild Wars 2

AKA a ton of kitten…100,000 Piles of Putrid Essence
was my goal and here it is completed.
If anyone else has a (somewhat pointless in my case) goal they are working towards in game feel free to share.
also does anyone have more piles of putrid essence then me now?

Edit: if anyone knows how to make the guild bank tab larger to get all the items in one shot I would love to know

You are my hero.

lol

that’s beautiful.
GO FOR 1,000,000!

current value upon sale: 1,130.5g
if they add these in any way to the four winds update and their price quadruples, sale value = 4,522g (3391g profit)
but, if you had a million instead, that would be 33,910 gold profit!

I’ll have to reference this post the next time some suggests that there aren’t enough of item X on the TP. (I thought my friends were masters of hoarding, but … they ain’t got nothing on you, OP.)

Gz on reaching your goal.

I figured I would add some interesting things I learned while buy all of these.

1) the market moves faster than I would’ve thought. I could place 3 buy orders (250 piles of putrid essence each) as the highest buy order 3 times a day (for a total of 2250 a day during the weekends). In all I would say during the weekend probably 5000+ piles of putrid essence were sold every day to people with buy orders (not counting direct buys) during the week days it seemed to be a little less but I would still guess around 3500+ sold per day from buy orders.

2) I am not the only one who has a massive surplus of these sitting around. On two occasions I saw huge bulk buy order listings (one was 70,000, the other was 50,000)

3) I created two fully upgraded guild banks to hold all of these (100 extra spaces in the one bank)

4) When moving items with this much bulk a couple copper really adds up quick, or every copper that it increased in price was 2.5 silver more per stack, and when the price can quickly shift 20 copper in a day its better just to sit that day out. (it will make a 50 silver difference per stack)

5) Look for gaps for your buy orders ex. if some one has a small buy order at 1.1 silver and the next buy order is a large order at 1 silver, just drop your order at 1.01 silver it will save you quite a bit of money and you won’t have to wait too long.

Hopefully some of this information was useful, if you have any questions please ask.

That’s one stinky bank. XD

There are currently less than 70,000 buy listings. Congratulations, you have the power to crash that market. Mind you, you are probably also the main reason that market is so strong.

But why that item?

I upgraded a personal guild bank and bought 25k gold ingots and 25k silver ingots but I’m reasonably sure that will go up when ascended jewelcrafting goes live.

Is there a crafted rune that uses that material that you think will go up in value? Or did you just do this for the lulz?

Now cross your fingers that you will not be hacked or you will lose all you have inside the guild bank even if they give you a rollback :P
Btw gz.

a little bit of both considering that they (more for the lulz though) are considered the same ranking as lodestones, and if new legendaries are released I figured there should be a decent demand for them (probably still not enough to give it a huge jump in price), but I also bought quite a few glacial lodestones at their low point because it was cheaper to buy them then it would be just to buy the elonian wine needed to upgrade cores into them in the MF.

you made my day XD

glad to hear it
