I’m just wondering how long your streams last? I haven’t even tried to see them because I am on the west coast and get off work at 8pm eastern time, but I am interested.
Also, you said ‘3+ times a week’ – do any of those include weekends?
I’ve actually got times posted on the stream itself. Two of the streams are on the weekend the other is on tuesday. I will be altering the times of the stream when I move back stateside but until then the times posted are the times I’ll stream.
I recently started up a stream based around one simple idea, helping players within the Guild Wars 2 community. Whats so significant about this stream? Well I created it to help players of ALL experience increase their gold income I do this as a service to the community and nothing more. What sets me apart from other individuals though that claim to do the same is simple, by no means am I trying to profit off the Community VIA market manipulation/community manipulation. This is a complimentary service I used to provide for my old Guildies in EG and I’ve just decided to move it up to a larger scale through informational streams about almost everything. Even wrote a guide back in December if anyone is interested in checking it out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AVHVmGwWHKln24YvUflbVDipmN-SQYaHpOyDFG3mtvA/edit
I don’t participate in “Scumbag Marketing” as some individuals do that have Live Streams, Blog’s, YouTube channels, etc. How I show this in my streams is that I’m transparent about everything from questions asked, my honest opinion on items, what I have on my account (Excluding my total amount of gold) and I also make myself extremely accessible to all viewers of the stream.
The stream is twitch.tv/vedordra
so far I have got nothing but positive feedback from those who have decided to follow and view the stream. I hope everyone who decides to view/follow has the same experience.

On a serious note, T1->T2 is a time sink most people watching that stream don’t want to deal with. T5->T6 (reg/fine/rare) is about as much of a sink as most people can stomach and the return on investment (gold and time) is good enough for most of them.
If you get an average of 5 skillpoints per day, it doesnt take more than 10 minutes per day to buy t1 mats, promote them and sell them.
My average return per skillpoint is more than 3g and i have been doing this on a daily basis since the start of the year. Just like with any other part of playing the game or the TP, the more experience you have, the better you get. My average since Escape from LA is beyond 6g per skillpoint because i know at what day of the week to put in my buy orders and when to sell. The Blade Backpack Iron Frenzy and Bazaar Trader Mat Sinks certainly helped to increase my average in the last 2-3 months.
So if you consider earning 100-200g in 1 hour of weekly gameplay a timesink nobody wants to deal with in a stream that is aimed at people that want to improve their trading profits, go ahead and promote t5 mats.
Are you using a website or just looking at what is in demand and then promoting? It would be nice to turn all my skill points into 12,000g
Please stay out of this market… There’s already to much competition and with a guy like you coming the undercutting will be so hard, that you might as well not use skillpoints. I’m dead serious. 2ndly of all gw2 people, you are one of the most rich, so i think you can handle leaving a few gold here and there, not to be picked up.
I’m definitely not the most rich, as I do not flip, I only speculate. I only have 4kg on hand and probably another 1kg in investments and 1-2kg on holdings. Serious TP players have +25, +50 kg and more stored on the TP.
BTW @ OP I was not on EG, just someone who eavesdropped during Teq runs. I apologize if you get hacked because of me, but I hope you have authentication juuuuust incase!
Yeah I have an authenticate “daisy chain” for my account now so I’m not concerned about that anymore thanks for the condolences though xD

Is this directed at me? If so don’t fret, I have no interest in this market.
What I’m saying is that the tips you are giving out have been common knowledge for a very long time and they are not likely going to help even the most astute learners reach 10k.
I felt that this needed to be said as it was mentioned you have 400k gold.
As someone who has also spent hundreds of hours on the TP, it is in my personal interest to see new ideas rather than the same stuff said a year ago: buy uncommon BLTC skins, use ectos to gain MF, use spreadsheets to get the highest gold/skillpoint etc…
Whether or not you want to divulge any of it is up to you.
Like I said, I may discuss it in the future. Yes I know most of the tips n whatnot are pretty basic and have been somewhat common knowledge for a year but not everyone in the community spends hundreds of hours on the TP or even gets on the forums to view posts like this. This is also one of the reasons I do the Q&A’s twice a week on the stream, it’s so that players of ALL experience can get on, ask questions and everyone who’s viewing the stream can learn from them.
I think it all comes down to the old, already quoted proverb again:
Give a man a fish and he has food for a day, teach him how to fish and he has food for a lifetime.
It simply isnt possible to give out specific tips to make huge profits. My most profitable markets had to do with market shifts because the game meta or mechanics changed.
And i only made those huge profits because i was one of the first ones to act on them.
That is something you cant put into a spreadsheet but people have to learn by themselves. T1 promotion is a good example.
If you check mystics spreadsheet, you will see that most t1 promotions arent even profitable atm but i claim that i make 5g+ per skillpoint on a regular basis.
In fact, over the last 2 weeks, my profit per skillpoint was beyond 10g because i bought bronze ingots the week before the patch for 50-60c and sold iron last weekend for 5s at its peak.
Even without a market shifter like the bazaar trader, a spreadsheet will never show the profits i make from promoting because i buy t1 when its low and sell t2 when its high.
If you check the price graphs, you will see that those mats easily fluctuate 10-30% within a week, which makes a huge difference to your profit margins.
People who think that watching a video, reading a guide or a spreadsheet will enable them to make thousands of gold quickly and on a regular basis, are delusional.
The more you think for yourself and not follow the flock but run in front of the flock, the more profit you will make. To be able to do that takes alot of time, inital capital to cover losses, knowledge and experience in general in all aspects of the game and its something mostly overlooked by people who complain that the tp enables people to make huge profits quite easily.
If you want to teach people how to make alot of profit, you cant teach them directly how to do it, you have to teach them how to learn do it by themselves.
Its no use, to tell people to buy item x because in a month it will sell for 10 times than what it costs now because that train already departed and they wont have a clue, why this happened. But if i teach them why i think that this will happen, they might be able to make a profitable prediction on their own, when item y gets introduced, enabling them to enter the market at the same time or even before me.
Thats why i think that Vedordras way to teach basics is more constructive for most players that want to make more profits via the tp than giving out specific tips for certain items or mechanics.

There are not many items that have had the volume and percentage increase of silk.
When you buy out half the supply and relist them all immediately, that’s a very good way to get undercut indefinitely.
I have been discussing this with other large TP players and we all agree that whatever he is doing is goes far beyond what you can earn from conventional speculation, assuming he really has that much gold.
Gewd, I’m not here to divulge any of my personal markets. When I ran this sort of thing in my previous guild that’s the first thing I would always mention. The obvious reason being if i release ALL of my secrets then word will get around and pretty soon I’ll have to find new ways to keep a steady income like i do currently. Yes it is somewhat beyond conventional speculation, investing and flipping. I may touch on this at some point as to what I do exactly (as far as technique goes) but once again, I intend to keep my markets as personal as possible. One of the reasons I try not to release the amount of gold I have in pocket is to prevent begging as well as prevent my account from being a target to hackers n whatnot (Vol was in my previous guild, his info is a little outdated but we’ll forgive him for that ;p). I know that six figures does seem difficult to achieve but when you put as much time and effort into the TP as I have it really becomes much easier to see.
Just as an update for anyone thats interested in the stream, just finished the base of the “panels” for my stream if anyone is interested in checking it out. Also updated the stream times. A big thanks again for everyone whos decided to follow the stream on twitch and even come out and participate, every person does make a difference and I see this thread is up to 1k views almost which is amazing.
Thanks everyone for the feedback (positive or negative, it both helps). Like I said previously in regards to the Egg Baron site, if you have any suggestions as far as websites or spreadsheets go I’m more than willing to take a look at the site. Obviously I’m not aware of ALL the sites out there that are similar to EB and am always open to suggestions. I look forward to discussing this more VIA this thread!
The reason I promote the use of Egg Baron is simple. It promotes very easy gold for players that have many skill points and does it in a simplistic manner. It gives you the risk involved as well which is convenient. Also, it doesn’t just have T5-6 and common crafting materials. The Spreadsheet covers all Rare, Fine and Common crafting material upgrades that involve skill points.
It covers all tiers of promotion for rare and fine mats but for common mats, it only covers t5-t6.
As tier 1 to tier 2 common mat promotion has the biggest profit per skillpoint, i wouldnt suggest to use Egg Barons Spreadsheet as its info is incomplete and hasnt been updated for over a year.
Even though Egg Baron hasn’t been updated in over a year it is still a pretty reliable spreadsheet to use. I haven’t been able to find many sheets or websites that are up to par with what I’m looking for, so if you have any suggestions share away.

@Wanze.8410:
You are correct, the stream I did yesterday doesn’t have much to do with the trading post. But if you view the “Trading Post Thursday” videos you can see that theirs about 1-2 hours worth of content covered every week VIA Q&A as well as multiple tutorials on how to use different TP related websites.
I do have two series going currently that I’m trying to alternate between. One of which is just a series of informational based streams revolving around different ways to impact your gold income as well as how to impact your account. The second is the “Trading Post Thursday” which is a very laid back, very informative Q&A/discussion about all things TP related.
By no means am I trying to profit off the Community VIA market manipulation/community manipulation.

The Megaserver is a very neat tool that was recently implemented. The problem with it though is that it encourages solo play and makes it difficult for a large guild to do guild missions, recruit new members or even do World Boss Trains as a group. The Overflow system that was previously in the game was very stable and should be implemented back into the game.
Hey currently I’m looking for any overflow servers out there and anyone interested in getting the “flawless defense achievement”. If anyone has an overflow they are on /whisper myself or post on this. Vedordra.8310

don’t forget to share it with your friends/guildies ;p
