I'm not a bid creeper by nature, although I did used to troll through 'for sale' set IO listings throwing out ridiculously low bids just to see what would happen (I won a surprising number of them and re-listed them for big profits).

If the 'last 5' seems reasonable to me, I'm happy to overshoot it by enough to make sure I get mine NAO. =)

Try having a kid.

=P

no, but several people in the market forum are happy to facilitate cross-faction inf transfers for a varying %. Most notably Smurphy and Fulmens, but there are others in the game too.

People gave me some great advice on soft capping my ar/dev for range in a thread a little ways down from this one, check it out if you want some pointers.

=D

dunno how I missed this the first time around on this thread.
One of my favorite forum lines EVER.
You might bump yourself from my sig quote!

I did not know it actually rolled to hit- I've always used it to deal with stuff that's impossible to hit (paragon protectors after they MoG, stuff like that).

I don't think it's an efficient power.
As you note it's mostly redundant given fire's plethora of great AoEs, but it's just so FUN I can never pass it up.

revision for accuracy- the ceiling for commons + generics has to be higher than 80k because the level I was farming at occasionally dropped luck charms, which were going for 50-80k each at the time.

So bump the ceiling to 150k or so. Not much practical difference, but I like to get things right. =P

find salvage is actually a big improvement over the old non-automated system- it's one of the only things they got right.

I agree it'd be great if we didn't have to physically drag the recipe into the market interface to get the salvage list, but it's not that big a deal.

I've been crafting wholesale lots of set IO recipes lately and it's very efficient- drag to market, click 'find salvage', fill order at NAO prices (when recipes are going for multiple millions I don't care about saving a few K here and there), collect wins, drag next recipe into window, etc etc etc.

I rarely bothered to craft anything with the old interface, unless I need to slot it. It's easy enough now that I'm selling tons while filling up base storage for future builds.

well, you could start a TF, then lark about for a good while working on badges or whatever (or just go do the dishes or something with an attack on auto), then blaze through it and get a tremendous # of merits for very little actual gameplay investment.

I like the concept, being someone who rarely runs TFs and does it with PUGs when they do. It took my weird team longer to finish part 1 of Posi than it seems it takes most people, and I'd have liked a bigger payoff at the end.

But it seems to me it'd be REALLY easy to game.

I totally understand that motivation.

In fact, that reminds me I haven't taken any of my flyers on a tour since they added Ultra Mode...guess what I'm doing tonight after work!

Ful, you're gonna get kicked out of the club if you keep up this tedious altruism!

>:e

from the # of enemies defeated on the map I'd expect one or two rares- #'s and time investment are roughly equivalent to a DA run from the old days.

let's assume for the sake of argument they're both 'good' ones, so we're talking about 4-6 million in profit.

I insta-sold 55 million worth of recipes (crafted a couple for max profits) from that run last night and will probably have sold more this AM..in fact, let's check.
Okay, sold another 59 million (50 of that was the LotG).

In the context of over 100 million inf per run, 4 million for salvage is chump change. Heck, the recipes I deleted so I wouldn't have to mess with them would've sold for around that much. I agree MA is to blame for the recent dearth of rares- I think people finally figured out wasting a pile of tickets for a couple million inf was silly when you can roll random bronzes for a giant payoff.


/edit
to continue the comparison to my DA days, 30-ish minutes in DA would net me 1-2 rares, a bunch of commons and generics and maybe 1 or 2 set IO recipes, which usually sucked since there was no drop weighting. The profit was in the rares- a 'good' rare run would net me 3-5 million. The commons and generic recipes didn't really register, I think the most I ever made off them was 80k. The few times I got 'good' IO recipes they brought in 1-10 million.

That same 30 minute-ish investment in MA reliably nets me 50-100+ million by translating all my drop probability into set IOs.

same here.

it does a few things really well, mainly facilitating the crafting of IOs, but it's a generally miserable experience.
