how to get skill points -> gold in meta game?
The usual way is by using the Mystic Forge by the use of the items sold by the attendant for SP, along with items or standard crafting mats to either promote lower tier mats into higher tier or craft mystic weapons.
The profits (or losses) doing this is constantly changing and you will need to use a site that tracks which items are currently the most profitable to make. Sadly the one I had been using seems broken at the moment.
I’m sure someone will be by, maybe, to share but that’s part of the reason things stop being profitable. Too many try to produce the “most profitable” at the moment, start overcutting raw mat prices while undercutting result prices and the profit is squeezed out and that niche is gone until prices return to profitable levels. It sort of reduces the motivation to share.
But everyone has been jumping on that lately and there really isn’t anything that I feel is worth the risk and there is risk. I had been converting Tier 1 processed mats into Tier 2, 5 stacks of 250 which would cost 1SP is MF mats. My results at 5 stacks at a time is between 295 and 674 and I consider average would be 417. Needless to say I had a significant loss at 295 and a huge profit at 674. And I was factoring a cushion needing only 370 or so to break even and I still lost money about 20% of the time.
Unless you go nuts mat gathering it’s also an issue of needing to have money to make money. For those five stacks I would have to spend 20-25g in the hopes of a 10-15% profit on average. And as I said, there are market forces and psychology that prevents scaling a 3-5g profit up to 30-50g.
We are heroes. This is what we do!
