  • Our little secret - Really! (Vendor Diving)

    With my recent return to EQ and the wonderful world of Tradeskills, I find myself at a lost as to what I should looking for when vendor diving. Not all items with tradeskill tags are worth saving from the vendor so I'm looking for some advice on things to grab when I see them on a vendor.

    One may immediately accuse me of just wanting to profit off of my fellow tradeskillers but I know that there are some items that I am willing to pay well for because my need is so great. A good example would be jade shards. They go for anything from 100pp to 400pp on Stromm which may seem ridiculous for an item that costs so little to buy from a vendor but it leads to augments that are well worth more to the user than a few hundred plat.

    So here is my start to the list of items I know are now valuable in hopes that everyone will add to the list and save these items from the oblivion of resets, rollbacks and patch days.

    Jade Shards
    Warbone Chips
    Chunk of Condensed Ice - (DO NOT use these for making arrowheads! Used for DoN Barbarian Cultural Expert Armor)
    Lambent Stones
    Shissar Scales
    Cat/Wolf/Bear/Rockhopper Quality Pelts
    Small pieces of Acrylia
    Glossy Drake Hides
    Slugworms
    Othmir Furs
    Metallic Drake Scales
    Discordant Scoriea
    Steel Ball Bearings
    Innovative Clockwork Bolts (Obsolete?)
    Bazu Steel
    Cursed clover of viesar
    Steamfont Springwater
    Cauldron Prawn
    Bamboo shoot
    Plant shoot
    Ashweed
    Honey berry
    Lichenclover
    Maneater buds

    Hopefully this is a good start to a list that will grow as people list those important rare needs!

    I have a list a mile long for items I search for. Here is a few I can remember offhand.

    Porus Mineral Block
    Belt of Leathery Fungus Flesh
    Sensate Reishi Lens
    Waterlogged Rigging
    Raw Dark Matter
    Gem studded Chain (rare but found 18 once)
    Eggs (anything that will make dough)
    Ldon Forages
    Celestial Essence (I am lazy)
    Soda Water (see above)
    Tainted Planar Essence
    Paeala Bark Tannin
    Spiderling Silk / Spider Silk
    Hynid Mane
    Aligned Ore
    Chunk of Taelosian Rock
    Raw Pale Nihilite
    Picnic Baskets
    Air-Infused Spring Water
    Anaconda Meat
    Griffon Meat
    Jord Meat
    Geode

    I guage the price at merchant versus the time it takes to make or farm. Belts of Leathery Fungus Flesh for example is more expensive to make compared to farming Porus Mineral Blocks - but I found a few days after server down Pok Library and ShadowHaven would be loaded. 30 minutes of vendor time would yield hours and hours worth of farming.

      Since you mentioned the chunks of Ice, thought you might want to know the chunks of Flame are also useful, to Gnomes for their Expert cultural
