What to buy to replace gold? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Stealthy Trapper · Feb 02, 2006, 03:06 AM // 03:06

Seriously do you need anymore gold? But anyway, buy another cd key and transfer your gold to the new account. Try for 2.8 mil. :-/

LifeInfusion · Feb 02, 2006, 03:14 AM // 03:14

armor. It never changes in value except for the materials.

bigedawg · Feb 02, 2006, 03:24 AM // 03:24

i am starting to invest my wealth in deldrimor steel.
i second Funda's opinion.

btw, go ahead and buy TONS from teh merchant, they price will go up..

Masta Killa Man · Feb 02, 2006, 03:44 AM // 03:44

Me personally at this point would buy ecto I mean just the other day I saw ecto at merch all the way down to 8k I went to UW to try to buy some for like six but noboby would sell.I bought about 5 of them from merch.That is what i would spend it on I mean the price does fluctuate but it can be for your favo r and you can resale that ecto later for like 2 or 3+k more if the price is right.

Oh BTW what do youuse rubbies and sapphires for I have always wondered that?

Thank You,
Masta Killa Man

I think black dye is about the most stable you can get. You can buy it for ~6k, and nothing will really change the market on it. The price for rare weapons is ALWAYS dropping, as more of them are hitting the market, thus they're not as rare. Materials will be all screwed up when the new armors from ch2 hit, so nothing can predict what those will be (I assure you the common material price will skyrocket, but that's hardly worth 'investing' in.)

I had the same problem, and I bought a new account, made a new monk, and got fow armor for it (my 4th set.) Now I'm almost broke, and have 2x the space for gold

Feel free to invest in Fissure Armor for Liquid Steell...

darkMishkin · Feb 02, 2006, 05:11 AM // 05:11

I know they don't stack, but the price of superior vigours will only go up, due to chapter 2's effect of rich players making new characters.

Soul Shaker · Feb 02, 2006, 05:20 AM // 05:20

heheh, i'll help you store your spare change :P

Reks · Feb 02, 2006, 06:38 AM // 06:38

I was also gonna suggest Sigils... b ut they don't stack... ><

So, just get them rare materials that have no use.

Monstrous eyes, anyone?

Sereng Amaranth · Feb 02, 2006, 06:51 AM // 06:51

I could have sworn they stacked. I saw a screenshot of them stacking.

Doc Baz · Feb 02, 2006, 06:57 AM // 06:57

You are obviously laying awake at night worrying about this. Denounce all your worldly goods and distribute it evenly among the kind people that have tried to help you here.

You will feel better for it, honest!

Soul Shaker · Feb 02, 2006, 08:15 AM // 08:15

if feeling better is giving away all your hard work....then yes...but i'll always take some :P

ecto could be an investment, or it could be a liability...

you could invest it in rare mods...runes?

Diversify your portfolio.

Kimo is right, let diversify your portfolio. When ectos drop, rubies and sapphires raise.

Jiao Yang · Feb 02, 2006, 03:44 PM // 15:44

btw does buying lots of a material from the merchant make the price go up? if so... invest in a material which has a very steady price and is in high demand. Deldrimor steel probably would be my choice.

if you dont want to take the risk of fluctuating prices.. buy high end perfect items as stated above... the price on them never really changes.

most players who dont want to take risks OR fill thier inventory with stuff would then buy a new account (as stated above). I managed to buy a friends one for ??5

which is now my storage...

What happens when ch2 comes out, and theres a new high end armor in Cantha and no one wants deld steel anymore? Yes by the way, buying lots from the trader will raise the price.

The price of high end rares is always dropping, as more and more of them are being found. Look at serpent axes, those were extremely expensive, but now... not quite so much.

The fact is that when chapter 2 comes out, almost everything in ch1 (items) will be less desirable, and thus less expensive. One of the only things immune to such a market shift (hopefully) is black dye.

I hear that chapter 2 has Blacker Dye, and chapter 3 may have Blackest.

The one from chapter 2 dyes even your skin black. The one from chapter 3 dyes your very soul. Muahahahahah!
