Guild Wars 2

so i collected data for opening 1542 bags and i calculated my earnings.

the following are straight npc for money because on tp, after minus trading fees, you make the same as selling to npc:

lump of crystallized nugget
flask of pumpkin oil
sharpening skull
plastic fangs
nougat centers
chattering skulls

you may save them for after halloween and hoping prices go up but thats more of a reason to open bags and not sell them.

the following are for tp
pumpkin cookies are about 1s after fees.
maize balm 8s plus or minus 1 or 2 after fees.

in the picture attached i have assumed bag prices to be 5.3s and trading fees are taken in account in unit selling prices. giving a total of 69 gold for selling 1.5k bags.
while opening the bags gives 57g, with candy corn tp fees taken into account.

you can see that for a 12g difference, you gain 40k magic find, 40 candy wrappers and 3 charged quartz crystals. now i wasnt lucky enough to get one of those glowing amulets, but i’d say opening the bags is better than selling for that.

edit: if bags go back to 6s before trading fees then it’s 78g for tp.
also prices on tp for converting candy and cob has virtually no difference, maybe 10s gain depending the prices at the time.

The magic find is worth it alone. Money can also be made converting candy corn to cobbs then selling. Maize balm is great for turning ambient creatures into bite size elemental’s, providing even more tot bags & opportunities to gain.
Plus you just never know what might drop from one of the bags.

anabasis.7346:

You assumed that the bag prices is 4,51 just like your excell shows, not 5,3 silver so the total is 59g.
Had you done the math right and assumed a price of 5,3 s per bag, you would have had a profit of 69g after taxes lol.

oh crap my bad, didnt realise i applied the trading fee twice, thanks
