It is good idea to get some Diamonds and Obsidian Shards while you can, because oh boy, you gonna hope that you got plenty Shards and Diamonds.

Why you ask? Because we know how Anet does their chapters and probably expansion, During nightfall Ruby got some purpose, now... Diamonds! Let's not forget that when you now buy Shards, you gonna save a lot in your future farming when you target all your gold to Shards.

So what is everyone else's plans to take advantage from GW:EN release?

Shaq_gw · Jul 31, 2007, 12:44 PM // 12:44

Let me guess, you just got yourself a healthy supply and are now ready to make a profit of it?

Why else would you tell ppl to stack up in the way you did?

Stormlord Alex · Jul 31, 2007, 12:55 PM // 12:55

Oh, you foolish fool!

Bricks of Mud is where its at ^_^

Seriously though? I'm not stocking anything - I'm down to... 2k, and I can't be assed to play at the moment.
Though, that said... I'd put my money on Diamonds and Deldrimor Steel. Possibly Spiritwood Planks and Fur Squares, too.

My Green Storage · Jul 31, 2007, 01:02 PM // 13:02

Not ready to buy diamonds.
Thought about it, of course, also thought about selling off a few Ectos and exchanging them for diamonds (Money, not a 1:1 trade, and certainly not a stack worth of diamonds).

But I'll wait to see what the armor looks like before I buy them. Will they shoot up to 10k, sure, probably, but if it's anything like Vabbian Ele armor .. waste of money in terms of materials.
Sweet looking, but that effect wears off quick when rubies/sapphires were around 9k and you needed like 12 of em(?)

To be honest, I'm using Superior Runes instead. Like I did from Factions -> Nightfall

Buy Superior Fire and Death Runes a month before NF came out ....900g Each
Sell Superior Fire and Death Runes 2 months after NF came out.... 7.5k Each

Unfortunately I only bought about 5 of each at the time.

About a month ago, I bought about 15 Fire and 10-12 Death .. here I come GW:EN.
New Heros = Rune prices go up.

I'm sure Vigor runes might go up as well.
Currently about 1k/2k/11k .. I'm sure when GW:EN comes out and people start buying, they'll be about 4k/6k/19k .. give or take.
Dyes might go up some as well.

It's all about thinking about something a lot of people use, buying it cheap and hoping it holds true and just shoots up in price.
Lucky for those that bought Diamonds for example when they were about 2k each. Even without GW:EN and if they're used, 4k profit x probably a stack or 2, not bad.

**For the record, I got my 5-6 diamonds ready for GW:EN!

stiffler · Jul 31, 2007, 01:22 PM // 13:22

I'm set no so much for the proffit side of things but rather I'm prepared for when I find a new armor I like, that way I wount be paying top dollar for materials late in the game to get the armors I want. If I have any left overs, then I sell

No new characters or professions...I don't think runes will go up much, need to save black and white dye and materials I think

New Heroes

Gah you edited

lol

neooki · Jul 31, 2007, 02:03 PM // 14:03

Because, there are new heroes, and we'll most likely buy runes for them if not salvage them from the old heroes.

quickmonty · Jul 31, 2007, 02:13 PM // 14:13

There was a lot of speculation before the release of Factions and Nightfall. Some lucky people made some money, and others lost money. Buy what you will and stockpile whatever, but no one knows for sure at this point what will be needed.

noocoo · Jul 31, 2007, 03:57 PM // 15:57

I understand about diamonds, but why shards?

RainwalkerC · Jul 31, 2007, 04:29 PM // 16:29

how did you guys find out that diamonds are gonna be a big need in gwen?

HayesA · Jul 31, 2007, 04:40 PM // 16:40

Because they currently have no other use. At all. So, it kinda makes sense that after all this time, they'd suddenly get a use in GWEN.

It's merely speculation at this point. But it would make sense that diamonds will get used for something.

ReiNaruto · Jul 31, 2007, 05:53 PM // 17:53

All that I can say is that I'm getting money now from this speculators :P

They are increasing the prices of things with any good reason, this is heaven!

Fishmonger · Jul 31, 2007, 06:10 PM // 18:10

I think the following are going to go up:
Spiritwood planks
Diamonds

I still don't see a use for tempered glass vials. Bricks of clay......maybe

Mordakai · Jul 31, 2007, 06:11 PM // 18:11

Green weapons.

Mini-pets? (could go either way, depending on storage).

We'll find out in a few weeks...

Neo Nugget · Jul 31, 2007, 07:05 PM // 19:05

Well i think people learn over time.

Factions runes were selling out like craaaazy.
It was lessened from what i saw with nf, even with heroes.

Factions had a lor of materials both common and rare being sold out(i think)
Only remember rubies and saph going up with nf

So if diamonds are used i bet we will get an alternate way to get them besides contracts for those without nf.

My Green Storage · Jul 31, 2007, 08:26 PM // 20:26

Yea, I meant runes used on heroes.
Something to think about, if you have the money and don't mind spending a few K to (possibly) make a few more K.

I'm just worrying about common materials.
But as mentioned, Deldrimor Steel should see a rise with the Dwarf colony in GW:EN ... SHOULD find another use for it besides FoW and Grotto 15k armor(?)
10 charcoal + 5 dust + 200gold = Crafter outside Droks in the open area

Yea, i thought that when I posted .. what do Obsidian Shards have to do with anything ?
They've had 3 games to use Obisidan Shards for something besides FoW armor, why start now?

MSecorsky · Jul 31, 2007, 08:45 PM // 20:45

It looked like the armors shown all use fur, so I have a couple stacks of that now to cover my own needs.

Bought at 110g/per at trader last week.
