Which goes for more...?

I have 35 hero merits and I'm looking to buy a PvP recipe to sell off-market.

Which goes for more:

Gladiator's Armor +3% Def
Shield Wall +3% Resistance

My feeling is that the Glad Armor goes for more, and it's also 5 merits cheaper to buy. Is this true?

They go for about as much, but the Glad Armor is cheaper.

I haven't done the math, but "people say" that blowing all those amerits on one PvP recipe isn't your best return on investment.

but then again, with the drop bug shutting off the spigot now is certainly the time to strike!

What drop bug?

Oh and to the OP, you'd probably be better off buying 17 miracle +recoveries (or something of equal value), crafting, and marketing them all for 200m a piece.

Wrong, with added wrongsauce and a side order of wrong, unless the market has collapsed in PvP IOs.

I sold 2 gladiator's armor 3% defs at 4BN each for a 30 merit drop.

To get that much (267M/2 merits) you have to sell your chosen drop at close to 300M (you pay market fees, I don't), and I don't see that happening (when I did it, the big drops were selling for about 150M so it wasn't close).

The only thing that occasionally gets close is when kinetic combat dam/ends (a 1 A-merit drop) occasionally spike over 100M.

Do we have confirmation that it's a bug? Some people are saying that drops were turned off on purpose until the devs can address farming.

Of course, this puzzles me. They didn't have issues with farming of PvP drops but turn it off now so that people can't farm shards, which are bound to the recipient?

some people aren't very bright.

I encourage anyone and everyone who can to produce these PvPIOs and sell them. Maybe then demand can come down to a reasonable level and people can actually get them on the market! =D

Are they really going for that much? Holy smokes. Last I knew they were in the 2.5b range.

Not sure if they still are, not sold one for a while, but they certainly were.

based on the patch notes it looks like a bug. I don't think many pvp farmers are too worried about getting shards.
