Recombindables for sale?

[Narph]

It would seem to me, that all of you Uber skillers would have better things to do with your time than doing subcombines that are XX pts trivial. It would also seem to me that it would be worth the time of a young skiller to try to sell those subcombines to fund skilling up. What I'd like to know is.... If in fact I'm correct, what sorts of things would be most in demand? If YOU went to the bazaar and saw XXXX for sale you would buy it in a heartbeat even though you would end up spending 10%? 20%? 30%? more in the long run, the time saved would make it worth it.

Thanx

ok, narph, i did alot of what you are mentioning, i sold a crap load of celestial essences, leather padding, heady kiola's, fillets of wolf/bear.

however, as my skill progressed, i then had to start hunting/farming that stuff for myself. You might want toi just keep it on a mule for awhile till you can use it yourself. if you never really plan on becoming a Gm in a tradeskill, you have excelllent logic.

other things that might sell good, Jewel crafting the worked silver chains, gem studded chains. (i haven't touched JC skill yet)

it alkso depends on the amount of GM tradeskillers on your server.
i would reccommend converting dropped weapons (fine steel and rusty) into blocks of ore.

if plat is all you are concerned about, farm the basic elements, ore, silk, pelts. you'll make nore plat selling the raw item, than you would a combined item.

celestial essence is still a VERY good way to make plat. once you get a mortar and pestel, you can buy the celestial solvent from the second merchant on the left in the bazaar, then you can buy an unlimited supply of essence of marr at the first in in EC (when zoning from WC). It's a no-fail combine. Just make alot. If you sell them in bulk at a resonable price, they will sell.

if you figure a solstice robe alone (1 attemped combine) uses 6 celestial essences, a tailor working on skill ups would probably buy them from you rather than having to do all those combines.

I'd probably say Heady Kiolas fit that bill well.

They go for 3-4pp each in bazaar, and you can make a stack for 3pp or so.

So thats a 2000% increase.

Make 100, then go to bazar, go afk and get some sleep. Wake up 360pp richer, it sells quickly.

If you do that, get your brewing to 80 before even trying, or you'll be frustrated as heck on multiple fails.

Haven't made Celestial Essence yet, though I need to soon for brewing, but they may also yeild a good profit.

Personally I never buy anything in Bazaar that I can make from vendor bought items... yet.

if you pick the brewing route, goto OOT or PoK and buy a ton of fishing grubs and flasks of water. Combine 1 fishing grub and 1 flask of water in brew barrel, this makes fetid essence, just sell it back to vendors. It also trivials at 122. so about 10plat will get your brewing up to 122, you won't fail as often making those heady kiolas that triv in the 40's.

Don't suppose you guys know anywhere offhand that evil's can buy essence of marr?

If you have POP all the ingredients for celestial essences are available in the Plane of knowledge.

Celestial essence has done right by me -- made a decent bit of money through those. I price 'em a little higher than what was posted as the price some folks here posted they like to pay, but that's what I want for the wrist stress of all the clicking :roll:

It's so much easier to get the components now with PoP (in earlier days, would sit in the Nexus waiting for the NK spires, then run to Queynos to buy the research component ... whoo took a bit!) but they still sell. I'll stick them on my tradermule -- they sell a little intermittently, sometimes none or just a few, then someone may come by and snap them all up.

And yes -- the profits have largely gone into financing tradeskilling (though some armor upgrades, and Xmas presents, came from it too).

...and I think Nicola bought a few from my vendor a little bit ago. Touched by greatness!! /dance

I usually search under blessed when in the bazaar. Blessed dust of tunare for solstice robe and sickles for the POTC quest economy seem to usually be 50p each in the bazaar on Drinal when I look, and it's there very randomly. Only spotted blessed blade/handle/pommel once in the bazaar (the last subcombines before making the sickle), was priced too high for me (all three would have added up to 1200p I think) and there was only enough for one combine.
