I’d never found any BL Tickets before the bump in frequency this week, and thus never gave the BLT weapons much attention, but now have two sitting in my bank. I’m not too keen on the leyline weapons, and am thinking perhaps Halloween might bring more interesting ones so I’m going to hang onto them for now.

Anyway, for the actual question: how does pricing for the BLT weapons work? I see that the recent ones seem to start at 1 ticket and then explode upwards to five or seven for the older skins. Is there any rhythm for when prices go up?

Usually they are at one ticket until the next set is released. Or perhaps until another LS chapter hits, though the Leylines have lasted longer than 2 weeks. Maybe it’s 4 weeks at 1 ticket? There will likely be more sets released before Halloween but it never hurts to hold onto a ticket in case you really love the next set that comes out.

If you instead want to make money, you can watch the price trends and buy the one selling the best so you can list it on the TP. I am not the one to ask on the timing of that, however! There is some sort of curve in the prices based on how long the items have been available on the TP and when they go to 5 tickets.

Don’t panic too much about saving the tickets for the “perfect” skins, however. It’s nice if you have them ready when you want a skin, but you usually can buy the skin you want on the TP if you can muster the gold.

iirc, when new weapons come out they are one ticket for one month, at least the last few were sold that way. After that they are increased in price, typically to 5 tickets. The next set, so far, comes fairly fast after the last set has been increased in price.

Thanks for all the info, guys.

I guess considering the leylines just jumped up to 5 the same day chaos ones were released, that answers that. =P

Not impressed with the Chaos ones and if you are looking for personal use, then just hold them.

Of course the way to (potentially) make money on these. is to buy ones that will be desired when they are one ticket and hold the skin until it goes to 5 and the price shoots up. Keep in mind this is huge gamble as the skin being “desired” is VERY subjective and one player might consider it FUGLY and another will spend +50g for it.

Very volatile market.

Right now I’m seeing Chaos Skins at 80g buy, 100g sell which is not bad for 1 ticket. Best 7 ticket skin is roughly 400g sell, 250g buy.
