  • I LOVE Vendordiving.

    I love the feeling of going vendordiving after patches. Picked up a gold tipped boar horn, some highly polished gems, a few elemental bow staffs, etc.

    Made 20K so far on 70pp I spent on the vendor.

    All I found was 5 Raw Shimmering Ore, 1 Raw Shimmering Nihilite, and a few other tier two GoD drops.

        I managed to find Yaeth Pg. 73 right after last patch and finally got Remove Greater Curse - didn't exactly make me any money but I didn't have to spend the 40k it goes for on Vazaelle.

        So far that's been my best find. (Hope I can find some more.)

          I found a Shattered Crystal and sold it a few days later for 20k. Also found 10 STACKS of Yew Leaves. That one just boggles my mind. I also once found a vendor showing a blue diamond. Usually, I only get 1 or 2. Bought all I could afford (had about 2k on me). He still had some. Went to the bank, took out 10k, bought all I could, and he STILL had some. Went back to the bank, took out all the rest of my money, took a deep breath (what if I can't sell them all??) bought all I could, and he STILL had some. I ended up with about 80 Blue diamonds, and sold them all half hour later, at about 150 plat profit each. Went back with my new shiny plat and he was sold out

                Vendor diving is great! So many patches, so many clueless people selling their valubles to squeaky clean merchants.. Mmm

                I found some velium, a ton of poison stuff (Happy BF ) a couple permafrost crystals, some low GoD stuff, 2 muramite residues, and something called a meldstone..

                But that's just the beginning of the day! So many more merchants for people to drop their stuff on and me to eat! RARR!

                    You guys are so lucky =P Best I've ever heard about on my server was stonewood saps =P Relatively few elemental guilds and no pickup raids on my server, so everyone there knows what to keep pretty much.

                      Deluxe Sewing Kit

                      I just got lucky and bought a Deluxe sewing kit in PoK at poison vendor for 1pp 5gp. Gotta love it! (Unless they put them back in the game and I haven't figured that out yet, hehe)

                            Out of curiosity, which one IS the smartest? As a starving college student, I'd have to say its the chimp... food is good!
