1st question : How high is a high end priced item ? more by 70% or 100%?

Is it hard to be power trader?Because i know that cheap item is hard to get so your profit will drop but still how you earn so much from powertrading since cheap item is so hard to get.

does a fire staff affect your fire skill damage?

What is this I don't even...

i agree with iron. this is not a english sentence

I think he wants to know two things.

First, for how much profit do you need to sell in order to be classified as a power trader. 70% profit? 110% profit?
Second, it's hard to find sellers who sell stuff cheap enough for you to powertrade. How do you find a lot of items in a short amount of time that you can powertrade?

well i understand the 2nd question just not the first.

for the 2nd question just scan guru or sit in kaieng/kamadan/LA for long periods of time wating to find good deals.

EDIT: about an hour ago i got a tourmented spear for 38e. i can sell this for 42-43e doing no work that imo is what a power trader is

Then why not go farm more faster than power trading and how much money must you got to start power trading

because that 5e i made is a lowend power trade. high end powertraders have stakcs of armbraces so when they can make 1000e+ per trade that beats farming anyday

and also u dont need any amount of money to start powertrading. powertrading is buying low selling high for profit. so if u buy 1 ecto at 5.5k then sell that 1 for 6k then thats power trading.

Hmm i find that buying 17 ecto=100k and sell it at 16=100k cant beat farming .
Reason is seller hard to find

because that is horrible power trading. every1 tries to buy and sell ecto. find people selling tourmented wepons for 35e then stick them on guru and go do somthing then when u find some1 who bids 42-43e u made around 50k doing nothing. thats lowend power trading.

now imagine buying a ded ghostly for 1500e +10a then selling for +20a there your just made 450ecto doing nothing. the more money u have the higher end items u can buy therefor the more money u make.

i found that i only made 20-30k per hour low end power trading but i just got a tourmented spear for 38e then traded it + 1ecto for an armbrace. i then sold the armbrace for 45e. so i made 6e. every 10 to 15 mins id go do a few tomb runs and i made anoter 5e during that. so i made around 11e in about 30 minutes. If you have several items at one time doing this that 11e can turn into 50e in 30 minutes

heres another example:

by all feather stacks 10kea
by dust stacks 3kea

1 feather stack 10k+ 1 dust 3k= 13k
it takes 50 of each material to make one essence +250gp
u can make 5 essence per stack
if the materials cost 13k +1250 to craft that is 14,250gp
if u sell the essence at 3.8kea that is 19k bringing in a little under 5k.

now that may seem low but i once had about 30 dust stacks and some1 sold me over 30 stacks of feathers 30 stacks of materials cost me 390k+37.5k to craft coming to 427.5k. crafted all 150 of my essence and sold between 3.8k-4k ea brining me to a total of almsot 600k. thats 170k profit with almsot no time lost.

Still you need time to sell . what if the bu very hard to sell ?

ok powertrading is by no meens easy it requires a lot of sitting and just looking in the trade chat for the right deals. the only way your gona make money EASY trading is if u buy a q9 oby edge for 10k then sell it for 50e even tho its worth 150e+. the whole key in power trading is finding good deals that not many people are gona have. tons of people sell BU'S tons of people buy and sell ecto so i dont recomend doing that. i wouldnt recomened trying to do high end powertrading untill you can afford. tourmented wepons/armbraces/bds/eternal blades and so on.

i wated untill i had around 50e to strat trading and in less then 3 days i had over 200e so in 3 days i made 150 trading and doin a little farming in between. now if u have 10,000 ecto u might be able to make 1,000 in 3 days. your not going to notice large jump in your money if your working with very low amounts.

ahhh the old 'i want to get rich quick posts'....unless your lucky and do farms that drop high end items then getting 50e is either ginding UW/Tombs or low end powertrading till u build them up...but dont expect to be able to buy an unded vizu within a year lol

Cheap item is hard but some soft item not hurt when hit your head. Use soft item and power trader not so hard.
