I’ve been fighting in Siren’s for a week and a half or so, and decided to make the journey to RV by way of the market. Couldn’t slot my first pvp IO so I checked the price, and sold it for 5 - 8 million. My second pvp IO was also of no use to me and I sold it for 15 - 20 million. I was definitely a bit disappointed ‘cus I had been hopin’ for more based on things I’d heard....

So I said “f this let me slot one of these things,” and bought all the salvage for the Unique enhancement that was going to go in one of my Heals (EM/regen stalker) then checked the price...400 million!!!

Jackpot! I win!

Panacea: Chance for +Hit Points/Endurance

An awesome recipe that I would really like to slot, but I couldn’t pass on 400 million. Now, how many more people do I have to kill to get another one?

So, you can help me out by pvp’ing more. Whatever server you’re on, just go pvp more. It’ll be fun.

Thanks!

well, i was a bit harsh, nice on selling something 400, man

best i did was 200 on a stupid thing, prolly a zero too many in the early days.

That's a sweet score, and a good call on taking 400 million for it.

The odds of you ever getting another are probably nil... But enjoy the many many valuable items that you can now socket.

Thanks. I know 400 million isn't all that much for some folks, but I've never had anything close to that amount before. This character was the richest I've ever had by a good margin prior to the sale when he was sittin' pretty with approx 150 million.

Since IO's were introduced, I've always resigned myself to the fact that many IO's are simply unattainable with my limited means, so I make do with the cheaper sets. This influx of cash does enable me to purchase a good number of IO's that I would not have considered previously.

Good stuff!

How do you get PvP IOs? Are they drops from doing missions in PvP zones, do you get them by actually PvPing, or some other way?

Can you get them PvP drops in the arena, or ONLY in PvP zones?

Woah! Someone hand him another one - he's threatening to kill people!

All joking aside, what I would do is take 200 of that 400 and invest it in another Panacea Unique. It might take a while, but you'll probably pick it up eventually and you'll still be 200 mil richer.

you are making a bit over 57 million a day?

hmm I am doing something wrong. .. or at least not as right.


I do spend a lot of time trying to add new inventory to the market and not shuffling what is already there. I guess that's what I need to change.

I think "to see what would happen." We had this bizarre complex plan to swamp the market, and chuque came along and stole our thunder, so we panicked and dumped all OUR Luck Charms, and there was chaos in the market. For about a week.

We didn't actually manage to get "0 bids" but by the end we were selling 'em for like 7K.

Something that hadn't sold for less than 35,000 inf in six months and there were over a thousand bids at 7K or less. You gotta call that faith.

Seriously, I woke up that day and thought " I got a couple hundred million sitting here gathering dust I bet it would be funny if I bought and dumped all of one thing."

I had know idea what a flipper was or even the basics of this type of market economy. I just thought I would make a few kids happy by letting them get an item at the price they thought was fair; not so much making marketeers happy for selling them an item for 10 so they could re-list it for 50K.

I can't find that ancient post, for once the form purge worked to my favor. ... no record never happened .. O hh want nevermid .... now I wait for THIS tread to get purged.

Congratz on the drop.

My brother got one of the new +def PvP recipes dropped the other day. I thought the PvP heal proc was the most expensive until he sold that one for 600mil.
