material traders in Tyria?
Are there any material traders in Tyria? Are there any before the searing? It seems the answer to the latter is no. Can anyone tell me where to find material traders in both situations if they exist?

No material traders in Pre, but in Post they are (or should) be in all the major cities, such as LA (beneath the main storage), in Ascalon City (near the Dye) or Drok's (with the others).

Rare Material Traders
Material Traders Artisans - can make materials from other materials. I don't think there is a trader/crafter in Pre Searing. |

No real need for them in pre. Well, they think there isn't any need for them. You can get mats through salvage kits, which you use to salvage either armour, or weapons in Ascalon.

There's no real need for them in Pre (no armour crafters), it doesn't work lore wise (Pre is actually separated from the rest of the game for mainly this reason) and Pre has a stable, isolated economy.

Hang onto your materials until you leave Pre-Searing. There you will find traders and armor crafters who will make good use of them.
Pre has no traders as it has its own economy separate from the world. |

Cantha is Factions, yes.
If you're collecting materials, you can occasionally get better prices from the Material Traders in post (but the do take up inventory space). I keep forgetting about the 'smiths >.< They require not that many materials or gold, but it's not unusual to find better weapons from Hidden Stashes and enemies in Pre (or other players, if you have the money).

*edit I thought those maxed out at 50 gold XP Anyway, the majority of what you find in pre is only 2-3 gold. Thanks for the correction Tatile. Last edited by DarkFlame; Mar 02, 2008 at 04:24 AM // 04:24.. |

There's actually a very good reason why there aren't material traders in pre-searing; if there were, it'd bring the post-searing economy into pre-searing, and would essentially ruin the illusion that you're in a different timeframe.
Generally speaking, though, hold onto the raw materials so you can make yourself a set of armor when you cross into post-searing. |
