I would just like to point out that cornering the precursor market is an extremely high risk investment.
1. You don’t know who else is hoarding it, waiting for you to take the bait.
2. You don’t know about the time and potential impact of percursor crafting
3. You can’t go too much higher than the true value of precursor (Mystic Forge cost)
4. You can’t expect to make money on every piece you’ve purchased. The last few pieces you bought don’t have much profit margin. You are using earnings from 2-3 piece to cover the loss from others.
I would think twice before locking 5000g into such a high risk market.
Most observed spikes on graphs are caused by Dev livestreams on twitch TV. Some market spikes are caused by Vol.
*Cue for the ‘insider trade’ conspiracy theorists to jump in.
Why I didn’t list Black Lion Salvage Kit as desirable is because Master Salvage Kit out performs in the long term.
If you really need it to salvage extremely rare sigils (> 4g in value), then just spend 300 gem to get a set.
1. Magic find does not affect content of chest.
2. Changing drop rate of keys from 0.00000001% to 0.00000002% doesn’t make it any good.
3. The chest is overrated. opened 130. All I get is rubbish.
So you are trying to spend gold/time to get a chance to get MF booster to get a higher chance to get exotic/rare to salvage for ecto to sell for more gold?
seems like a bad business plan.
The only desirable items in the chest is Endless Mystery Tonic, Permanent Contracts.
Like you, I can’t live without Blink. I switch the other two frequently based on fights.
If I know the boss has buff (protection/regen/25 stack might), I will get both Null Field and Arcane Thievery
Feedback when dealing with range
Mantra of Concentration when I need stability in Cliffside Fractal
Portal when breaking the arm seals
Viel when my group is skipping content
etc..
etc.. I try not to stealth because you are pushing aggro to your team. I tend to spam Phantasmal Defender.. It is an amazing meat shield.
Out of goodwill, I offered to mail you 11 gold so that you can list the item on TP. All I asked for is for you to fulfill my buy order.
You agreed, so I did what I promised, I sent you the 11 gold.
and of cos, you ran away with the money and blocked me.
You must be laughing at me right now…
But is it really worth it to sell your soul for some cheap virtual currency? Is that what your moral value is worth?
There is a reason behind 250 stack limit. and it is a technical reason.
To store items, you need a number to represent the stack size.
To store this number, you need to allocate memory for it. (in database, network, computer ram, etc)
To store 256 unique value you need 8 bits, which is 1 Byte of data.
Edit: thanks goldi for correcting my mistake. guess i was half drunk
Facts:
1. The entire economy is pegged to Ecto
2. A single recipe caused Ecto price to drop 20% in 2 days (16th Dec – 18th Dec)
Cause:
Some players made use of the recyclable recipe using Prinstine Snowflake
Consistently getting 1 = 1 + x per salvage
Other notable stuff:
John Smith suggests that there are other unbalanced recipes, but nobody in the forum seems to know what he is referring to.
lDeadeyesl, BUTTERBLUME, are correct most of the time
Aura is either trolling or bad at logic/numbers. I can’t tell.
Essence Snow got mislead by Aura’s numbers, and made some bad arguments (not his fault).
Posting here just for the record. Opened 130 chest on the first day. Got trash. i think the worst is the bags of coins. Whose idea is that? Why would ANYONE want to see 5 silver in a black lion chest?
