Thankyou Guru, This site made me 2 million gold!
I just have to say. Thanks. About 2 months ago I was reading a threat discussing what rare materials would probably increase in price when Factions came out. The majority of posts mentioned Gems. One caught my eye though. Someone said to invest in a little steel. It was sure to be used in new armors and would definitely not drop. So that's what i did. Over the next to month between farming and buying for 100g a piece I managed to collect more than 5000 steel ingots.
Guess what, because of Factions, the merchants have been regularly sold out of steel for the first 3 days. I know its wrong but I've been charging 400g an ingot because ppl pay. I just broke my 2 million mark tonight at work. This website is all about sharing ideas and helping one another. kudos to you! |

Congrats.
I held onto a few stacks of crafting items, but I didn't have the guts (or the funds) to buy aggressively. I may come out 10K or so ahead by letting a few stacks pile up. No biggie. |

I like how people sell Steel for 400, when the buyers could just switch districts and have a merchant with steel for 260.
Well, at least that's what happened with me each time I needed materials. |

Those who buy steel off trader are silly, you can easily make them by yourself.

Man, You must've been WTS alot then. I sold 6 ingots for 1k ^^ just cause this guy kept buying stuff off me, and I know they're just starting out mostly, even though most have tyrian storage. Anyway, GG on that though. 2mill congrats, although its kinda false to say 2mill as you can't have more than 1(something I loathe about storage), so may I ask what you invested that other mill on?

I've just had to log off and chill for a while after trying to sell my steel hoard. Every other trade was an attempted scam, I got sick of seeing the trade window click off 3 times in a row and a lower ammount of gold appear or people ask me to go outside and drop it for them. I'm about as scam proof as someone can get, but I bet these scumbags are cleaning up with all the new players about.

I stocked up on a mix of hides, cloth (linen and leather too since I'm bound to get some of them too with a salvage) and wood. The hides and cloth are the only things really profitable, but since Factions came out, I've also gone around farming plant fibers.
I would also like to thank this site for the insider info that has helped me gain ~30k in the past few days. |
