You can buy one from a regular reward merit vendor for 50 merits. It looks like they sell on the market for 35-45 million (the recipe) or 40-45 million (crafted).

I often forget, but if we're on a team standing around doing nothing I'll fortune someone, and I'll do it if someone hits me first (then I remember). Sometimes we're doing things so fast that there's hardly any time to think about buffing.

Outside of teams I almost never use it, unless someone else hits me with it first.

I usually don't make mistakes like that, I'm very careful. But last week I bought two Crushing Impact recipes for 61 million instead of the 6.1 million I meant to pay... only reason I didn't buy a third was because it wouldn't let me, I had less than 61 million left to spend. :P Luckily I did that on an alt that only had about 150 million to play with.

I feel kind of bad for the person that did this though... but then, if they have 2 billion to spend on a PvP IO, they probably know where to get more.

And as for whether I'm losing interest:

1. Current goal is to purple out a Night Widow based on TopDoc's build on this forum. This required 5 pieces each of all four damage sets, so 20 very expensive purple IOs. My Widow is currently level 35 and I've just finished buying the Hectacomb set, at an average price of nearly 400 million per piece, so I probably spent 2 billion this week, with another 5-6 billion yet to spend...

2. Future goal after the Widow is to drop a billion or two on each of my SG bases on Virtue, Freedom, Victory, Justice, Infinity... probably that'll be it. I'm also tempted to build up a base, maybe the one I have on Freedom, then create a brand new base and sell the old one off. Just because. ^_^ Anyway, that's a potential 5+ billion that I'd like to spend at some point.

So no, I'm not bored yet, I have a lot of money to raise for my projects still!

But it is true. Even when I'm writing all this stuff down, I'm not paying careful attention to what I bid on or listed the same thing for earlier. ^_^

Money: 731 million

10 items sold: Scirocco's Dervish dam/end, 5 for 20 mil, 3 for 18 mil, 2 for 22 mil.

In the buy box I have 20x Scirocco's Dervish dam/rech (paid 10,000 each) and 20x Hamidon Goo (paid 3,000,111 each). The other salvage is easy to get: Sapphire, Temporal Analyzer, Fortune; I buy 20 each at instant buy prices (12,000 inf, 500 inf, 500 inf respectively).

There are only 22 dam/rech for sale. Last 5 include two sales at 15 mil. I list 13 of them for 12.1 mil each. I also put in bids for 10x Scirocco's Dervish dam/end at 251,000 each and 10x Scirocco's Dervish acc/dam at 501,000 each.

1 item sold: Mako's Bite acc/dam for 9 million

In the buy box: 10x Mako's Bite acc/dam for 1.2 mil each; 10x Mako's Bite acc/end/rech for 101,000 ea; 10x Mako's Bite dam/rech for 16,000 each. No salvage. :P Luckily the acc/dam does not require rare salvage, just 20 Chaos Theorums, 10 Nevermelting Ice, and 10 Hydraulic Pistons. A bid of 12,000 each buys the Chaos Theorums but only nabs one Nevermelting Ice instantly, and another a minute later. Hmmm. I can wait a few minutes, or up my bid... I decide to hang out. Hydraulic Pistons buy instantly at 1,000 each.

I have one level 50 on Victory on my main account (Mouse Police) and because of that have always marketed with the highest level Victory toon on my second account as well. This is Chelsea, who is one of only a handfull of toons below level 30 that I (occasionally) market with. Doing so is kind of annoying, most of them can only hold 32 salvage at once for example. I have her parked in Steel Canyon for that reason, jumping to the University and back to Wents with super jump isn't too much trouble. By the time I'me done running back and forth a couple of times to craft, all of my Nevermelting Ice are purchased.

Prices on Scirocco's acc/dam are not good at all. Last five includes two purchases at 5 million, those are the highest buys. I list everything at 5.1 million. I want to make money and I know that Chelsea is a toon I may not come back to for several weeks, so listing a little high works. Possibly I could have listed even higher.

Nothing sold, 22 items bought: 10x Touch of Death acc/dam for 501,000, 10x Touch of Death dam/rech for 950,000, Absolute Amazement stun duration for 58 million, Absolute Amazement stun duration/end reduction for 62 million.

The Absolute Amazements are for my own build, I have a mule set of five in Boxing (Maiden Knight is broadsword/regen, I want massive recharge), but for more than half a year I've been consistently failing to purchase them at lowball prices as the price of purples keeps inching up. I still have bids out for two of the recipes: Stun/rech at 76 million and stun/rech/acc at 91 million, and I apparently need to up those bids again. Sad to think I could have bought these for maybe 30 million if I'd bid that high last Summer. Lowball bidding doesn't always work!

I rebid stun/rech at 112 million and stun/rech/acc at 171 million, which might still be too low. I put in bids for 10x Alchemical Gold at 401,000 each, 10x Military Cybernetic at 3.6 mil each (this price is well below the last 5 but I still buy 7 instantly -- doh! Should've bid lower). 10xEnsorcelled Weapon at 201,000 each. I place bids on the other stuff needed for the Touch of Death dam/recharge. I also bid on all the salvage needed for the two purples, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to craft anything soon, so that's all for the moment.

Chaos says, "Hi Organica!" I wave hello as he logs out. ^_^ (He later claims in the Market channel that I had ignored him!)

I have three Mako's Bite dam/rech listed for 18.1 million. Yeah, those are gonna sell reeeeeaaal soon.

Bought: 10x Mako's quad at 501,000; 10x Pangean Soil at 3,000,200 ea; 10x Mako's triple at 112,000 each; 10x Mako's dam/rech at 100,001 each; 10x Mako's acc/dam at 601,000 each.

The Pangean Soils are for the quads. Other salvage is insta-buy stuff; Temporal Tracer, Fortune, Ceramic Armor Plate. I have 10 quad IOs in just a couple of minutes. I also have 3 triples left from last time, already crafted. I put in bids for 10 Magical Conspiracy at 3.2 mil each, and Thorn Tree Vine at 6,001.

On Mako's triple last 5 sales are 5 million each. I just don't see a profit in selling that low. I list for 5.1 mil. I list the quads at 6.1 mil, most of the last 5 are in the 8 mil range.

Mako's dam/rech are currently selling for 13 to 15 mil, so my 18.1 mil prices are not TOO out of line. But there's still little chance that they'll sell anytime soon. I decide to pull them and relist at 13.1 mil.

10 items sold: Touch of Death dam/end/rech, 2 for 12 million, 1 for 15 million, 5 for 20 million, 2 for 21 million. Yay for people who overpay!

You have purchased: 10x ToD acc/dam and 10x ToD acc/dam/end and all the uncommon/rare salvage needed to craft them. Time to go to work!

You have not purchased: 10x ToD dam/end for 2.1 mil each. I rebid on these at 5.1 mil each... there's still a good profit margin I think. Also bid on dam/rech and acc/dam for virtually nothing (314,000 and 101,000).

I got into an argument with a very annoying person on a task force the other day. They couldn't understand why anyone would slot IOs at less than max level. I tried to explain that the difference between a level 33 and a level 50 IO is not that great... it went over their head. Their argument boiled down to two somewhat contradictory statements: 1) Lower level content is so easy, you don't need set bonuses, you'd have to be an idiot to want them, and 2) You absolutely need the very best performance you can possibly get at level 50, so level 50 IOs all the way! Never mind that level 50 content is not necessarily hard either...

To which I replied, if you want to solo AVs and pylons, sure. Knock yourself out.

What I REALLY should have done though was thank her. It's people with that attitude that make all of my money for me. ^_^ I craft and sell level 50 (or top level) recipes/IOs almost exclusively -- the recipes are more plentiful and often cheaper, and the IOs sell for more money.

I list 8 of the ToD acc/dam/end for 17.1 mil each (selling for about 20 mil). I list 5 of the acc/dam at 9.1 mill each (selling for a little over 11 mil).

Last time I ran it the level restriction was still in effect. That was... December I guess. But I don't think it's been changed.

Don't know about a rogue... I'd assume a rogue in the right level range could start it.

I have 15+ level 50s... I've opened up the incarnate slot on maybe half of them. I've alpha slotted a few of them... I probably have enough shards to tier 2 on two of them, but I haven't bothered yet. Nobody is level shifted.

Most of my 50's are pretty heavily IO'd out already, I'm sure level shifting them will be nice but I don't expect it to have a huge effect on my gameplay. I still run a lot of lower level TFs on my 50's, I never understood people who said there was "nothing to do" with their 50's. I play mine all the time, always have.

Apparently tonight the Crazy 88's are doing another bonfire party to try and catch the top two SGs (ranked by Prestige) on Freedom, which also happen to be the top two SGs in the game. The last time I helped out in December by limiting my marketing toons to 700 million influence each, and any extra money got tossed onto the bonfire. So I guess I'll try to scrounge up whatever cash I can for the effort, although I have no plans to burn all my billions like some the the crazier 88's do. (What do you think I am, crazy?)

Touch of Death dam/end/rech are selling for 10 to 15 mil it looks like, 107 for sale 114 bidding. Bleah, I'd like them to sell for more than that, I know they were selling for a lot more only a month or so ago. Ah well. I list everything for 11.1 million. A profit is still a profit.

Last logged: I played Nina last night on a Sara Moore TF. Nina has 539 merits saved up at the moment, and also 9 shards plus an essense of the incarnate and an infinite tesselation. Not that I remember what I was going to do with those at the moment. I had to log her in because before running the Sara Moore, I dumped 13 Essense of the Earths into e-mail. If I'm going to be e-mailing myself money, I better make sure my e-mail isn't clogged up with stupid EoEs.

I sell four of them for 200,000 each.

Money: 756 million. Not really enough above 700 mil to worry about, and I have nothing for sale. I do, however, have all the salvage needed to craft 10 Decimation acc/dam/rech. I just need to dump a bunch of junk salvage from the TF first... rubys, regen flesh, silver, spirit thorn, temporal analyzer, thorn tree vine, kinetic weapon, nevermelting ice, gold, hydraulic piston, pnuematic piston, chaos theorum, ceramic armor plate... all dumped onto the market at 1 inf each. I keep the Photonic Weapon and Military Conspiracy of course.

Oh, I also picked up an Aegis: Resistance recipe on the TF. No purples for me sadly, but that will sell at least. I buy a Pangean Soil needed to craft that, and also salvage to craft the Oblit dam/rech level 30 that I bought for 3 million at some point. (This is turning into a rather more complicated market stop than normal for me.)

Craft the Oblit and dump it into base salvage. Craft the Aegis and e-mail to myself. Craft the 10 Decimations. Dump five EoEs into base storage.
By now my junk salvage has all sold and I have 10 slots free -- just enough to list my 10 Decimations. It looks like prices have continued to go down on these -- last 5 are three at 15 mil, 17 mil and 5,777,777. 45 for sale 63 bidding. I suspect I can list high; I don't really want to list too low. And I'm willing to wait for my price to move, so I'm going to list all at 17.1 mil.

I list one for 8.1 million and it sells instantly for 10,251,000. Hmmm. Last five are for the same price, so someone has a large bid out at that price. There are 71 for sale, and I now know they are all selling for more than that. That's useful info.

I list everything for 17.1 mil. I place bids on 20x Hamdon Goo at just over 3 mil each.

Ending money: 831 mil. I send 100 of that off to the Crazy 88's fund.

Sold 13 items: Yet more Efficacy Adaptors! end mod/acc for 6 million and 2 for 5 million; end mod/rech 5 for 4 million, 2 for 5 million, 1 for 3,880,088, 1 for 4.5 million, and one very generous buyer gave me 9.5 million for one. Donkey shine!

In the buy column we have a curious puzzle. I have outstanding bids for 9 and 8 Efficacy Adaptor end mod/accuracy at 12,000 inf each, but the last 5 buys are all well below that including my 100 inf buy on another toon just a few minutes ago, and we're showing 19 bids total outstanding, including 9 on Valentine Candy and 18 on Organica here. Huh? These are all level 50 bids too.

Weird. I put in another bid for 9 at 12,000 each and it fills immediately. I put in a bid for 8 at 12,000 each and get one more buy. I kill the two non-bidding bids.

Things get weirder when I notice that my previously purchased IOs are "Efficacy Adaptor: Endurance Modification/Accuracy" and "Efficacy Adaptor: Endurance Modification/Recharge" all spelled out, but the new ones I've bought are "Efficacy Adaptor: End Mod/Acc" and "Efficacy Adaptor: End Mod/Rech". So there's been a name change? Will the two different names even stack?

I claim my purchased recipes -- but the ones with the long names don't appear in my inventory. They just vanish into thin air.

Or not. Because the longer name is for the CRAFTED version. I've actually purchased several crafted recipes for the price I was willing to pay for the recipe itself. Mystery solved, I'm an idiot, but I ain't gonna complain about buying something for 12,000 and selling it immediately for millions.

I list 14 Efficacy Adaptor Endurance Modification/Accuracy at 3.1 mil each and 2 Efficacy Adaptor Endurance Modification/Recharge at 7.1 mil each.

Ending Money: 630 million

At this point I've spent too much time screwing around and I've only dug up about a half billion to burn for the Crazy 88's. I need to go do my exercise. Thus:

I went and burned my money and didn't see anyone else from the SG, or find any of them talking in the Market channel. So I guess it wasn't that big of a party after all.

Money: 202 million

Purchased: 5 Conspiratorial Evidence, 5 Soul Trapped Gems, 2x Obliteration dam/rech level 32, 3x Obliteration acc/dam/rech level 32; 2x Obliteration dam/ech level 31; Obliteration damage level 30, Obliteration acc/dam/rech level 31, Obliteration damage level 31. Nice haul, that will refill my base storage bins!

Have not bought any Impervium Armor Resistance IOs, and I have bids out for stacks of 10x on level 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33. I think my niche here is seriously compromised; I'll either have to up my bids again or find something different to work. I have about 400 million influence tied up in those bids too.
Impervium Armor Resistance Recipes in the 29-33 range are selling for anywhere from 5 million for level 29 to 15 million or so for higher levels (2 bids for 25 million and one for 50 million for level 33 recipes... and one for 120 million???). The crafted item is selling for 30 to 50 million it seems. But there are none for sale in these ranges, either recipes or crafted IOs. So this is still a very lucrative niche, I just need to up my bids and maybe narrow my focus to just a few levels instead of trying to buy 5 different levels at once. It's never been a fast-moving niche, but I make a nice profit when I have stuff to sell.

Level 30 and 33 are the levels people pay stupidly higher for. But when there's none for sale, people will pay for whatever you have to sell, so it's well worth buying at level 29, 31, 32. I rebid in stacks of 10 at those levels (and since this is a slow moving niche where my bids will be out there for weeks or months, I'm not going to say exactly WHAT my bids are this time. ^_^ )
That frees up a couple of slots and some money though. Now I just need to craft my Oblits and stash them in my base.

I have bids in for Luck of the Gambler: Defnese and +7.5% recharge. I don't remember why -- this is a Freedom toon so it's not likely I was planning to stash them in storage.

I guess nobody likes to congratulate a chicken. But congrats anyway!

Chaos has someone besides Babs to talk to now! ^_^

Points for the hat, monacle, and tea. ^_^

I had this realization recently. I have what I consider a very nice base on Virtue (solo) and a decent base on Freedom that I inherited (now my solo base). I never paid attention to how much total prestige either was worth, but I worked hard to get them both up to snuff in the past. When I watched the recent thread in the Base forum where someone sold a base with some 46 million prestige, I began to wonder what my bases were worth... as it turns out, my Virtue base is at less than 8 million prestige, and my Freedom base is at less than 4 million prestige. I think maybe I've donated more prestige to the 88's than my Freedom base is worth. So my realization was that I could build a brand new base overnight that's better than my current Freedom base, just by buying the prestige. ^_^ I think that's one of my future goals.

Anyway, yes you're ebil. Congrats!

I don't have the workbench on every toon, but I do on about six or seven of them. For the others, one trip to my base is not too difficult, or I park them in Steel Canyon. Also, there are other marketeers around in Talos or Atlas Park in the evenings when I do this on Virtue, it's not too hard to find someone with bench out when I'm ready to craft.

But yeah, I like my portable benches and have plans to add them to every market toon at some point. ^_^

I've done the random roll for recipes and craft whatever will sell route too of course, but it's a lot more work to craft 10 different recipes than to craft 10 of the same thing.

This is a lot to read, and not terribly interesting to most people I suspect. Most people want concise answers and explanations that explain everything. The advantage of saying, "buy low, sell high," (or a guide that expands on that idea a bit) is that it's a quick read, so more people will read it -- but it might not tell you everything you need to know. But going through what I'm posting is (I suspect) probably mostly of interest to people who are already marketeers, or trying to become marketeers.

Also, on crashing a particular niche: most of what I'm working is such high volume that I suspect one or two people alone would have a hard time crashing it, unless that was their goal and they devoted all their energy to doing so. That's why I'm not worried about listing all the niches I'm working, because I don't think one or two or five more people working the same niche will affect me that much in the long run. I could be wrong, of course. ^_^ Decimations have continued to crash over the last month, by the way, but I think that has more to do with supply and demand than anything else.

I kind of agree that the pack mostly doesn't work for alternate costumes of characters that weren't envisioned as having animal heads, or whatever. Even the few catgirls that I have, I don't imagine them as full-fledged tigers.

I did have a couple of charcters, though, that were supposed to be doglike or wolflike. One of them was Dog Is My Copilot, who looks much more like a dog these days:



I created a new hammer-swinging minotaur brute since that seems to be one of the cooler things you can do with the pack. For the name and part of the look I was kind of thinking of Judah the Hammer, aka Judah Maccabee from the Nexus comic. So this is Minos the Hammer. Obviously I'd want roman kilt at some point, but this works pretty well for me:



And I liked the leopard print so I updated one of my catgirls:



That's about all I've done with the pack so far.

Prices on Decimations have fallen into the basement. On the theory that they will inevitably rise again at some point (and also that they are still selling for well over 10 million crafted), I put in some very lowball bids, 30x Decmation acc/end/rech at 100 inf each and 20x acc/dam/rech for a little over 1 mil each.

Last logged: Also technically yesterday, ran a Faathim the Kind TF, an ITF, and then a Posi 2 before switching to Tiffany for the Calvin Scott. ^_^

I have a bunch of stuff bought and ready to craft: 10 Aegis: Resistance and 10 Reactive Armor: Resistance. I craft them. The Aegis seem to be selling better, with fewer for sale. I list all 10 at 31.1 million. I list 3 Reactive Armor at 25.1 mil (probably too high) and 5 at 23.1 mil (last 5 sales were 26 mil x4 and one at 23 mil, and there are lots for sale)

4 Reactive Armor sell for 25 mil before I'm done typing this. Okay then, 25.1 mil is NOT too low to list. I collect sales and list the last two at 25.1 mil. ^_^

Also listed a Crushing Impact acc/dam/end for 1.6 mil. It dropped to me during the ITF, and a Winter's Gift Run/Range/End which I had on me and salvage for it dropped to me; I was able to craft both right there in Cim, hehe. So few opportunities to actually USE the field crafter table in the field. The Winter's Gift I would normally save for Summer, but it looks like they're inexplicably selling for 50 million even now, so I list for 42 million.

I've taken stock of IOs in my base. Last week I started a new scrapper, dark melee/willpower, and she's at 32 now. I raided my base for the level 30-33 IOs needed for her build, specifially five sets of Kinetic Combat and 2 sets of Obliteration. At the moment I have in storage:

Kinetic Combat acc/dam: 10
Kinetic Combat dam/end: 6
Kinetic Combat dam/end/rech: 2
Kinetic Combat dam/rech: 0

I need more triples and dam/rech!

Obliteration quads: 2
Obliteration triples: 6
Obliteration damage: 2
Obliteration acc/rech: 4
Obliteration dam/rech: 1
Obliteration proc: 3

I could use more of just about all of these. ^_^

So I have a lot of empty slots on my brute and over a billion... time to buy!
Observe: Level 35 KC dam/rech are selling for 71 to 81 million (the recipe). Level 34 last 5 are 30 to 50 million. Level 33 last 5 20 to 75 mil. Level 32 last 5 are 15 to 50 mil. Level 31 last 5 are 20 to 50 mill and one at 7,777,777. Level 30 last 5 are as high as 40 mil but includes 3 buys between 3 million and 3.7 million each.

Level 29 last 5: 25 million, 200,100, 200,100, 500,000, and one for 2 million. That last one is mine, there were 5 for sale and I put in a bid for 10 at 2 million.

People slot Kinetic Combats for the defense set bonus. Level 29 Kinetic Combats give the same 3.75% smashing/lethal defense as level 35s. The four-piece set (I almost never slot the proc) is unbalanced, ever piece of the set gives damage so you wind up with max damage no matter if you're slotting level 29s or 35s. Recharge at level 29 is 21.5%, at level 35 it's 22.9%. So you're paying 75 or 80 million instead of 200,100 for a difference in 1.4% recharge and because you can't be bothered to put a bid up and wait.
Never mind that I, like many people I suspect, often 4-slot Kinetic Combat in Boxing as a mule set. I'm planning to do that with my current scrapper in order to fit 5 sets into my build. Who cares what level your mule set is?
Anyway: Bid 10x Kinetic C ombat dam/rech level 29 at 2 million each. Also 3 level 30 at 4 million each.

Prices on the triple are crazy at all levels, but I see one level 29 sold for 42 mil and a couple of level 30s for 54 mil. Otherwise they're typically over 100 mil each. Bid 3 level 29 at 46 mil each, 3 level 30 at 55 mil each, and 2 level 31 at 62 mil each. There's half my money invested, heh.

Bought: 3 Gift of Ancients Defense at 9,000,001 each. bid for other 7 still going.

Recipe is currently selling for over 11 million (looks like at least 2 other marketeers are buying). Crafted last 5 sales are 40 million (four) and one at 25 million. 71 for sale, 45 bidding. So it appears that the crafted price is coming down and the recipe price is going up... but there's still a large profit margin here. Buying at 11 million is still well worth it.

I adjust my bid for the last 7 to 11,201,000. That matches the last two sales, and hopefully I can buy several before someone ups the buy price further. Not worth bidding for another 10 on top of that, as the price looks like it's changing quickly.

Place bid for 10 Soul Trapped Gems at 3.2 mil each (five are bought before I'm done). Also pull that Decimation acc/dam/rech from e-mail and list it for 21.1 million. I should be bidding on something else too, but I'm not really sure what at the moment. I have 9 slots not being used for anything. :/

I also have two level 50 Thunderstrike recipes and a level 49 Titanium Coating: Resistance recipe on me from recent drops that I kept to craft. I craft and list these as well. Doesn't matter to me what I list them for, they're virtually free in terms of cost to me, so I list 'em cheap.

(My new scrapper that I started last Saturday has hit 30 and needs money! I ship off 700 million to play with.)

Purchased: 10x Decimation acc/end/rech and all salvage to craft them. Also many other Decimations: 10x acc/dam/rech at 6.1 mil each, 10x acc/dam/rech at 2 million each (hmmm... waay overspent on the other bid then), 20x more acc/end/rech at 1.6 mil each, 6x Decimation dam/end at 5,612,000; 10x acc/dam at 7,000,112. I have recipes to craft for a while now it seems. If the price of Decimations spikes again I'll be in good shape. ^_^
I put in bids for Demonic Blood Samples 10x 51,000, Circuit Boards 10x 51,000, Scientific Law 10x 51,000. That will allow me to craft the acc/dam recipes next time around. I Craft the acc/dam/rech and list 7 of them for 17.1 mil each.

End Money: 995 million

Seebs, Seebs, seriously... put a link to this in your sig.

I feel the same. I don't play enough on Freedom to really worry about it, but I have a complete base with teleporters and salvage storage... probably 10 million or less prestige all told, and a dumb SG name to boot, but I inherited it and it works for me. If I didn't already have that I might try and bid on this. ^_^

I bid on 10 stacks almost exclusively, and list them all at once normally. But I give them more than just a few days to sell. I won't pull listings unless they fail to sell for an extended period of time (weeks) and it's clear that the market price has fallen significantly below my list price.
