"I wonder if I can get my two mains to the cap before Going Rogue lands?"



Apparently so. So where do I get the official "Evil Marketeering Scum!" badge from?

Not deliberately a month apart, but odd how it worked out like that.

I took the long way round. I made and sold Generic level 50 IO's with the benefit of Field Crafter, as well as selling salvage/recipe drops from playing the game. I didn't bother with any of the 'fancier' tricks like AE Bronze rolls/Flashbacks/Flipping/whatever else.

And yes, it took a while to get there (I've been slowly creeping toward the cap for well over a year, but I was in no hurry.), but I've had to trim about 300M off my blue side main since he capped out, so it's still coming in at (to me) a respectable rate. And since it takes me about 2-3 minutes per toon upon logging in/out of the game, it's no real time/effort drain, which is a bonus.

It's been interesting popping in here occasionally to lurk, see how other people are making silly amounts of inf rapidly and then completely ignore the example and carry on my own sweet way

Wow grats. First time I've seen a marketeer reach the caps selling commons. So you get the special edition ebil marketeer badge.

Thank you, I shall treasure it always. Unless I can sell it at a good sized profit...

It just goes to prove that there's not one approved way of making inf, sorry, Ebil Marketeering. Not that that is news to anyone reading this section of the boards.

I reckon I can average 3-10 million inf/day from Common IO's, although it can be very variable. I've been sat for a week with all my slots full of IO's that just won't sell, then they'll all vanish overnight.

<shrug>

Patience is a virtue, when it comes to the market. (and if you try to hit the cap from commons, then you need a certain degree of idiocy, too)

That said, I've pulled in about 60-70 million this last weekend, just from Common IO's. I long since gave up trying to predict the behaviour of common IO sales. Make 'em up, list 'em and wait. And while waiting, go play the rest of the game.

(I was also stupid enough to get the old Fabricator badge... About two or three months before the requirements were reduced by half <facepalm, headdesk>)

Congrats on hitting the cap in the slow lane.

I'd post the marketing seal, but I think it's on my machine at work and I don't sit in front of that box until the middle of next week.

You don't "get" it, you have to purchase it. That's the way we roll.

Seriously, though, congrats on your awesome achievement.

Also, props to Hyperstrike for referencing my favorite secret Market catchphrase, "I made you eat your parents."

Well Done!

Another testament to the simple truth - It's only hard if you refuse to learn
and refuse to put any effort (at all) into it.

Gratz!

I've also made nice, steady money crafting Commons on my main toon. It's just so easy to stick in the salvage bids, drop a crafting bench in WW, craft and list. I made a good few hundred million like that.
