Neuronia

It is and it isn't. Some things work better in zones because of the mobs there, drones, DR, Travel Suppression, larger groups (anyone remember sg vs. sg fights in Arena? ). There's also a ton of space to run and those lovely heavies...

Arena is different. You can only use Tier 1s and temps, you need to manage your escape powers/insps and you only have 10 minutes to get your kills in.
I know Twixt was a beast in zones but I don't know if he ever Arenad, for example.

That said, my Rad/Therm is now procced up and almost has Born in Battle done, so I'll have a vill to help out Redside or heroes to help out Blueside in RV...or Arena.

If anything goes down Funk let me know, I'd be glad to help/sub wherever there is PvP going on.

(P.S. I need Atlas Park, Steel Canyon, IP and Bricks Mayhems for Invader )

It's possible.
Remember though that the highest-paid price is given to the lowest-listed item. Eventually, a regular or semi-regular player hits their own lottery.

No.
I just, in the last few days, sold a Ragnarok Triple, two Coercive Persuasion: COnfuse Duration, Gravitational Anchor Proc and other stuff redside so I could kit out my Rad/Therm.

When I farm, the ONLY stuff that gets vendored is SO/TO/common recipes. Crafting even the most piddly of recipes gets back between one and 10 million influence.
Also...surprisingly, you can't jack up prices because buyers set the price point they wish to meet!

If I see a purple set piece selling at 40,000,000 I can list mine at 42,000,000 and it won't move or I can list at 18,000,000 or 22,000,000 and get a sale...



Calling BS here.

The only way 'casual gamers' cannot get their stuff is if they miss the massive W on their maps and fail to use game resources. Plus, they can ask about the Market and people will be glad to help.

On my recently 50d Plant-Psi Dom, I decided to ONLY use SOs and tickets until I got to the 40s. I made around 40,000,000 - 50,000,000 selling Pool As like Thunderstrikes, Crushing Impacts, Detonations, Karma KB and the ocassional Steadfast ResDef.

Even if you sell JUST your salvage you'll make enough for Single Origins, which are the baseline for gameplay.

Ever bought Cytoskeleton Exposures, Membrane Exposures or Ribosome Exposures from fellow raiders? I remember Cytos going for 10-20 million at the time...people wanted those pretty badly. Even considering this a corner case, you could use the inf to get PL runs as well.


I'll tell you a story about a "casual player" in one of my SGs.
She had no freaking idea how to use the Market. In our global channel, she says she's going to need help transferring inf to her new alt.

I took her to the Market, told her to sell her big insps on the Market and her TOs to the vendor. Then, I directed her to buy some common recipes and vendor them. As she got more inf, she bought and vendored pricier stuff. She had 8,000,000 by level 10 and increased that to 12,000,000 through salvage sales and such. Since it was a throwaway toon, she wast set for life.

On another player in my SG, I offered inf for TF rolls. I got ok stuff, he got inf.

The point is...even someone that plays a little each day or each week can make TONS of cash. If you want that purple, sell sell sell or save or flip or craft or cash in those Merits and Tickets.

I just got an Apoc Proc Redside last night on my Rad/Therm, no farming involved. Just crafting, selling, listing, patience...

I think I still have channel space...good to know you're still well-balanced.

My PvP Corr 'needs' a lot of Procs and high end Uniques.


You're slightly off here. Since stores offer what, 5,000-100,000 for recipes...I'm finding it hard to believe you can't consistently get a higher return on the Market. Even the 'mediocre' ones I get turn into two to twenty million each. It's actually funny. While I am going to borrow someone for a blueside-redside inf transfer, I thought I'd never get my Numina Unique and so on...and lo and behold I crafted two Oblit quads and other drops (Thunderstrikes, Crushing Impacts, Kinetic Combat) and sold them for enough for that Unique AND change to boot.

"Casual" and "Normal" players can get their stuff if they simply list on the market, bid on the market and use some patience. I can't remember the amount of times I've heard people in my SG global channel go: "Stuff is too expensive!" Then I'll show them how to make inf from level 1 up, no more complaints.

People will always want the Purples, the LOTG 7.5 etc...they're high end drops usable in a variety of builds and situations. What may occur is that more Purples will ber produced with the I16 changes, lowering their price.

I find it hard to believe RMTers get most of their cash from farming when the Markets rain money from the sky. I've had this age-old debate with ny sgmate...he said: "I made X millions farming my map!" to wit I reply...I did that listing items in less time. There are still people to whom the Market is a mysterious, nebulous beast...but once they get the hang of it, money cannot help but flow.


No.

If Neuronia normally makes 5,000,000 per play session she will spend 5,000,000 (well, probably less as I like to have some inf sitting around) on the Market, etc.

If Neuronia normally makes 30,000,000 per session, she'll use that on the Market, SOs, whichever...if you want stuff to cost less then you need to produce more widgets. More widgets means lower prices for widgets until a new equilibrium is reached that buyers and sellers agree upon.

Also note you don't need the big items to function better. I've been getting Analyze Weakness sets dirtcheap and the 3% damage, 11% Accuracy and other bonuses are very nice...

Your mileage may vary.

This...perhaps this is a subtle hint from the board mods to link interesting and related threads in topical discussions...

Huge loss. :/

*shrug*

People are going to farm/PL this weekend anyway. At least this puts everyone in a central area with low zoning. Loving the heck out of it myself, lets me get levels on many alts...and the money from AE will go into the Market anyway.

I labour to colour my armours ingame, the furour of your candour makes me feel quite inane.

Canuck and "U" lovah!
