Guild Wars 2

I’m working on saving up enough gold and materials to craft a legendary, and I have been farming the event bags to sell on the Trading Company. I’m trying to decide if I should sell them all now (for about 8 silver each).

Do you think after the event when they they become more scarce, they will be worth more? Since the vendors for the candy corn will be gone, I wasn’t sure if people would still be purchasing them as avidly.

Also, I am new to these forums – is there a trick to getting the search function to be useful or is it just broken? Searching yielded no results for pretty much any key word.

I don’t know enough about the markets to speculate for sure about ToT bags. Could go either way, from my perspective.

As for the forum search… the built-in search is completely and utterly useless. Don’t bother with it. Anet themselves are aware that its broken but say it’d be too much effort to bother fixing it.

There is, however, a sticky on the General Discussion forum which gives you an alternative. I’d check that.

The bags could go up in price, especially with the maize balm nerf no longer generating surplus tot bags. Also the bags will still contain the weapon skins, minis, and that stupid endless bat tonic everyone wants and currently the ToT bags are the only way to get them.

So take that for what you want but my 2 cents says they could possibaly hit 10 silver a bag.

Thanks for the answers! I am recovering from surgery and have had some free time to farm bags. I have over 2000 to sell and I had the discouraging thought earlier that there was the potential for them to go down not up in price. I don’t want to be greedy, but I need money towards my legendary :p

I would agree with Dilligaf, I think that with the nerf to maize balm farming that prices will only go up until the next Halloween event….but then market speculation is just that…speculation. You never know if or when Anet might alter some aspect of the game to affect the demand and supply of a particular item.

Edit: In fact, I would not be surprised in the least if the recent rise in ToT prices is not partially the result of some TP players anticipating a general increase in value of this item as its scarcity increases over the coming months, and are buying up stock to horde.

^^This right here. Also the bags could drop in the short term due to people buying 20k ToT bags and getting the tonic in the first few thousand opened. Then re selling the rest to recoup some of their costs.

And if anet does release a permanent bat wing tonic recipe, you will see the price of ToT bags drop significantly.
