If the prices are consistently 25%+ higher, then the profit margins considerably decrease, and this "farm" falls back down to earth...

Even if your forced to pay 4k for iron and 3k per dust then you still profit 10k, its all about finding the right seller, which just takes a little time, and the right ad to spam. Also, from a farming perspective, this will never fall by the wayside. (As long as they don't nerf UWSC that is =)

Or if people stop paying 8k for consets since you posted this guide ...
People are selling stacks higher since, people are buying consets lower ....

I've continued to be able to sell consets at 8k ea, even with people trying the sell lower in town. Those people are usually just impatient and want to sell fast, so just wait them out. Welcome to the power rading world

As far as the farming side of this, it's pure cash, it's only the powertrading end where the profit will reduce a bit.

p.s. sorry if I;m taking any of the OP's thunder here, just trying to help out with answers

It is. You buy the materials low, sell the consets high. The only difference is the materials turn into the cons.

I loved the days when doa was just out. Bought 1 of each gem for a total of 75k then sold the set for 100k, easy 25k ^^ Made over a mil in just a few days

ya i was one that did this very often...... but instead of fog nightmares to get dust, i might recommend Raptor farming. In the raptor cave, great conch shields drop quite often. Salvage these! A white will net 12-15 dust. On all blues/purples/golds try to use "measure for measure" inscriptions. A blue will give u about 30 dust, grape 50-70, and a gold 100-150 dust just from salvaging. I made 500 dust in about 8 minutes.... Well my secret is out, hf gl

Somehow, I get the feeling that the was the original incentive for creating this thread. :S

If you have a 55 monk and have HM for proph and factions then try Nahpui Quarters HM...when and if they drop feathers they drop around 30+ a pop and for dust and bones HM outside Bergens each time the bones and dust are around 30 also plus you'll get the orr emblems which you can sell for festival collectors

Kaitoa · Aug 02, 2009, 03:19 AM // 03:19

Thnx for this guide m8. Ireally like the feather farm, farmed over 1k feathers because I was trying out the ele build, but I enjoy the W/N raptor farm so I just modified that and presto, Im now able to farm feathers on my main char. This works for me cause Im working on my Drunken and Wisdom Titles, so i can farm and drink as well. Obviously, raptors is good for wisdom, its also excellent for dust and good also for iron since it drops alot of those reaver axes.
Lastly I went to Toa yesterday to sell, even before I could post someone was asking for Consets for 8k, so it didnt take long to sell at all

I seriously hope conset prices wont drop now..Nicely written anwyay, but now much more ppl know bout this business :x

Kaffatsum · Aug 02, 2009, 03:46 PM // 15:46

This business has actually been going on for a LONG time...
It is just now being revealed to the community for everyone to do
I myself have been merching cons forever except i use differnt farming places than the OP.

to the OP: Great guide! i believe you have helped us all in making more money and cons

wilebill · Aug 02, 2009, 04:20 PM // 16:20

harrow, this is simply a great guide. Thanks.

One question, maybe I missed it. A critical component of a conset is a skill point. So, yeah, I've got tons of skill points but suppose I wanted to "farm" skill points.

What is the best two or three ways to do that? What scrolls would you recommend for skill point farming? That sort of thing.

Brute of Balthazar · Aug 02, 2009, 05:56 PM // 17:56

@Wilebill. If you're being serious then that's slightly worrying..... but at any rate vaetir farm in HM is more than decent exp, hence the reason why it used to be the legendary survivor run for the professions that could. It is easily done, as well as having the advantage of decent drops, being one of the mentioned farms and you being able to kill and quickly re-zone. As for scrolls, don't waste your money really, the exp is decent enough that you should level about once per zone.... I mean don't quote me on that, but roughly a skill point each time if not more.

Hope that answers your question, plus, stating the obvious: but if you're doing that farm for iron anyway then you'll get ample skill points during that time to craft the cons, providing your sin is the crafter.

wilebill · Aug 02, 2009, 06:15 PM // 18:15

Lol, Balt. I was just hoping that there was something other than Vaettir farming. I'm so tired of Vaettir farming. Raptors is not high on my list of things I like to do either.
