Go me!

Me too today.

Also found what looked to be a tailor going out of business sale in thurg bank. 35 dire wolf tufts, 6 velium hound furs and 2 velium mastodon furs, as well as countless hides, silk threads, etc.

Spell: Divine Intervention, Time flag, a FT5 time loot and You have become better at Tailoring! (250) all in one day.

Yes, its been a good christmas.

Stacks and stacks and stacks of spider and spiderling silks.

Plus about 3 stacks of LQ, MQ, and HQ pelts of various types.

Wonderous for a level 10 Rogue on a brand new server.

Playing an alt on Povar, heres some finds recently:

Fungus Encrusted Hammer : 10p. This has been my primary weapon for 25 levels now.
1 Obsidianwood Sap
Spell: Bliss
2+ stacks of Hero Parts
Absolute boatloads of other stuff too copious to mention

Needless to say, at lvl31, i have ft3, regen7 (20k tribute) and 1500hp.
Its nice being able to kill low blues for 2 hours and not needing a SINGLE heal.
(No outside buffs btw, just tribute.)

just finishing up farming wyvern hides, went to sell junk to othmirs. Bought 3 runed seashells with EB at 1pp ea... shame I have my shawl already

[Luddaen]

Discordant Scoriae off a vendor in PoK Library.... 2 silver investment, yielded 80k pp reward.

[Cerpicio]

How about a PC Vendor Dive?

I was looking for an item and it usually runs between 25 and 30 kp.

I saw one for about 2.7 kp.

I think the PC forgot a zero, but I jumped on that sale before anyone else could. I do feel a bit guilty, but I never got a tell from him, so /shrug.

Bazaar laziness netted me about 150k in the weeks after OOW came out. There were 2 Shimmering Scale Bracers in the game. 1 a 25 hp piece of junk & the other a very nice 90 hp OOW drop. Was obvious that people selling the OOW item were just looking up the name & pricing theirs accordingly. SOE had to ruin my fun by changing the name to Intricate Scale Bracer in a patch.

My head is exploding- I just went vendordiving in the bazaar since they had to reset everything for Firiona/Lanys today... and I bought a Minor Muramite Rune for 3 plat . *thud*

I amabout to retire being my guild's 'vault'. Vendor diving on my new server is as easy as it can be. I netted over 20 stacks of bone chips one night (which sell quickly for 8PP a stack). I've stopped buying thick griz skins because I don't have the room for them.

I now currently have about 4-5 stacks of HQ bear skins, 6-7 stacks of HQ cat skins, plus about 15-25 other stacks of misc pelts of various qualities, inclusing a stack of HQ hopper hides. I've considered dumping a stack of HQ cat and HQ bear skins on my trader to get in the cash, but I'll wait on those!

I have a 10-slot FULL of silk strings, another full of silk threads (and that's after maiking about 5 stacks of leather paddings to a desperate smither).

I've currently expanded into buying words and runes, and when I get everything transferred out of my trader, I'll expand into grimoirs, too.

Now that my Druid can port himself all over, it's extremely easy. Start in Kelthin. Hit those merchants. Port to West Commons, go to WC, EC, NFP, EFP, NRo, Oasis, SRo then use the magus to Everfrost, then port to NK, hit EK, NK, WK, Qeynos Hills, Qeynos

I've also been able to PL my chanter up several levels just buying CB Belts, lego pads, and DF belts off merchants. (Don't worry, I try to keep her skills up!).

Vendor diving has been so easy that it's almost lost it's fun.

Almost..

My best find recently...

1 Pristine Bazu Hide, ~8p
2 Bazu Blood, ~3p each
2 Pyrilen Flames, ~5p each

Bought the other two Bloods & other two Flames and hammered out some pants to sell.

[Draggar]

THREE polished bone hoops.

I know, not much, but on an overpriced server where they get 200-500PP each, I can keep two for my casters and sell one. I'll still make a lot more than the 75PP all 3 cost me.

Oh, yeah, tons of words, pages, and runes, if I could research, I'd have some pretty sweet spells!

[Rewde]

Just picked up almost 30 gem studded chains right before todays 1 hr update off of a smithing vendor in PoK for 24pp each

Now, should I sell em, or just have a sleightly cheaper skilling alternative?

[miakiss]

Yeah, I bought 150 of the darned things a couple of days ago. Not looking so clever now after the trivial change...lol..

But, on the plus side, 2 chunks of E'cian ice for 8pp each and a Dust of Discord 2sp
