Pyromania anyone?

I'm long on inf and short on creativity.

Where should I burn inf and who will burn it with me? Three-four billion in contributions and we can temporarily regain the #2 slot on Virtue.

Or I could try and find some base building newbs.

Or... something.

You could help me in my new found addiction to IOing.

I've spent more Influence in the last 3 days on sets than I've earned in entire years of playing, since I don't play at 50.

You could always just have the market eat the cash with fees...

Well...

As an acknowledged base-building newb myself, I would be delighted and deeply honored to assist you in your honorable quest to destroy as much Inf as humanly possible...look me up, we'll do lunch

I'm in a holding pattern until my next market experiment takes off. After that, mebbe. ^_^b

Rue, Ernham: how much do you have to throw in the pot yourselves? I can match 2:1 for up to, say, the first 250 million (that's 2 of mine to one of yours.)

Maestro: Welcome to the treadmill!

All you guys: you know the standard ways to make a quick 50 or 100 million or 200 million inf, right? (for instance, running 10 tips plus an alignment tip, then "Who Will Die 1" twice back to back, gets you two Alignment Merits. Turn those in for one or two shinies, craft the shiny, sell it on the market. I don't know what the current shinies are. Then buy another AM with the fifty RMs you got for running the tips.)

Also: Erhnam, what's your global in name?

I'll mail you the inf, Mistress Rue. Enjoy!

Inf mailed.

The "classics" for me, for one alignment merit each, are Kin Combat Dam/Rech and Dam/End, currently around 60 million inf each (near their normal low water marks), and the L21 Performance Shifter Chance for Acc- less supply/less demand/less consistency. If you want to branch out there are things like Basilisks and Eradications, but I don't follow those as much.

Marketeering:

I do more "Buy recipe, craft, sell IO" than anything else and I do that looking for smallish profits (say 8-10 million on a 1-20 million investment) over the short term. There are a LOT of ways to make a lot of inf. I'm going to give you five ideas "for example" that I'd use if I had very little starting inf and wanted to make a couple hundred million. Try to juggle maybe five of a single IO, so if it goes from 10 million each to 500,000 you don't lose TOO much. All are at max level.

1. Devastation Dam/Rech. Basically costs "crafting plus orange", not too high a supply, kind of obscure. Spend around 3M , sell for 10M, give a million to Mr. W, make 6M .

2. Red Fortune End/Rech. I would not STAY in this niche for more than, like, two days but right now there are 7 for sale crafted, the recipe costs basically zero, you can list for 10 million and probably get 12 or 15 million and your other costs are actually less than the Wentfee. Get in, get profit, get out.

3. Gaussian's, To Hit Buff/Rech . I got out of this because it would cost me 8 or 9 million and I'd only sell it for maybe 15, but on the other hand? it's a solid niche you can stay in for weeks. Risky because you're investing a lot for your return.

4. A slightly higher end bet- you could lose real money here- Numina's Heal. Currently about 20 million to buy and craft, sell for 40-ish, give 4 million to Mr. Wentworth and keep the other 16.

5. Steadfast Protection: KB protection at level 30. Costs you half a million to 2 million, craft, sell for 15 million. Kind of a risk, because it usually sells for under 5 million so your market niche may collapse.

So there are five ideas to try, see what works, hopefully make a lot of money and only lose a little.

And spent! thank you so much

I interpreted "entire years" as meaning "any given entire year".

Ooh. Can I get in on that action? I have 250 mil to burn and a base that I really need to get arond to building, maybe this'll provide an impetus!

Global @Meagen.

Inf will be mailed to you, Silver Gale.

Is there a period at the end of the global, or are you just ending a sentence?

Edit: saw your CIT listing without a period. Mailed it to that global... if yours DOES have a period, email me ingame, and I'll send to that one, also.

Thank you, Champion.

Good call, I was ending a sentence. Thanks.

If you are still giving away funds, I could use more prestige in my Champions base. I'll put up 250 million toward conversion to prestige.

Lets see, 2:1 gives me 750 million inf, at 2000:1 give me 375,000 prestige. I can buy 3 more enhancement storage tables with that.

May take me a few days to get to this. Bramphousian, were you cutting in? Or adding EXTRA to the pile? Either way: Well burnt.

Since I have a lot of disposable inf at present, I figure I'd add fuel to the fire.

Thank you, Champion.

Maybe it'll show back up in 60 days? Just a thought.
