Purple Swap Meet

So there was this angel who suggested something that struck a chord in my feverish brain, something I had already been wondering about and I thought I would post this and see if anyone is interested in participating. Don't know if it is being done anywhere else but this would be for Virtue obviously.

It is a PURPLE RECIPE SWAP post.

The basics: Sometimes selling a purple, then trying to find a purple you want and all the ingredients can be a hassle. To alleviate some of this, the swap meet is proposed.

The way it works is simple:

Have a purple recipe either crafted or uncrafted and want to trade it for another, post it here and see if anyone responds.

Anyways, if folks are interested, it's just to help folks get purples a little easier and really this is all for fun so as David Letterman says, please, no wagering.

Maybe we can use a template? If someone wants ot make one with tags and colors feel free :P

Recipe for trade:
Set type:
Redside or blue side? (Make sure you know the person who you are trading with if you cross side trade.)
Global of person trading:
Recipes looking for or even INF if one wants that?



I'll even start.

Recipe for trade: Fortunata's Hypnosis (Not sure type) --ALREADY CRAFTED!
Set Type: Sleep Set
Redside or blue side? Blue Side
Global of person trading: @Crimson Rook
Recipes looking for: Willing to trade for a Ragnarok (+ INF most likely )

Recipe for trade: Apocalypse (Damage) -- UNCRAFTED
Set Type: Ranged Damage Set
Redside or blue side? Redside
Global of person trading:@Crimson Rook
Recipes looking for? My poor lil corruptor is so broke he can't even post it on Wentworths for the going price. Make me an offer!

I like the idea, but I have never had any purples with which to participate.


SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.

Sometimes it take a while for these things to get started.

I've had a couple but they've since gone onto the market and been snapped up.

If I get more and don't immediately slot it, I'll mention it here.

Sorry guys, Tonight I got a purple but had to sell it for the cash. I desperately, desperately needed the money to IO out my Tank, after spending all my Blue side Inf to IO my Scrapper.

I really wanted to contribute but there is no purple I need more than I need 275,000,000 Inf right now.

Hehe. Wow! That's a lotta inf. Which one was that?

Apocalypse Acc/Dam/Rec which I believe is known as "The really expensive one." Got it in the MoITF attempt last night so I walked away from that TF a very happy camper.

I'll say. That's nice change!

You could have gotten much more for that recipe. But congrats on selling it.

Only problem I see with trading for purples is that purples tend to have varying values based on the rarity of the drop.

It's more to do with the usefulness than the rarity (since I'm reasonably confident that the drops aren't weighted for purples). Apocalypse is particularly expensive since most characters have at least one ST Ranged attack that they want to slot and it offers a combination of set bonuses that no other ranged set has (the other two with recharge have less useful ones for their first three and Devastation doesn't have Recharge). Ragnarok is cheaper since it has to compete with the inexpensive Positorn's Blast set which offers almost as good set bonuses for a fraction of the price (plus plenty of melee toons don't have any TAoEs).

Similarly the mez sets go for very little since there just isn't that much demand.
