  • Trends in tradeskills

    I've had difficulty selling PoTC items pretty much since the beginning of the year. But the tradeskill rush seems to be slowing down, or at least shifting. Is that happening on other servers too?

    On my server there are sometimes as many as ten people selling solstice robes at a time, most of them for about half or less of my price. The last couple weeks the others sometimes sell out early in the morning until I'm the only one left. The last few days I've been the only one all day, people finally paid my high prices, and I sold the last one today (I'd been selling the same seven robes since November).

    Then my gem studded chains sold too! Those sat on my trader with no interest at all for months.

    Then I've sold some othmir caps and acrylia reinforced stuff too, all in the last week or two. Really makes me wonder what happened to all the tailors.

    Sickles are harder to find the last few weeks too, except on weekends. Some sellers are back today (250 smiths who don't do them for skill), but a handful of sickles won't last long. But champagne and picnics are plentiful, and fishing poles and star ruby steins are same as ever. The total number of traders hasn't changed much.

    So it's mostly the robes (and other tailoring stuff), and maybe sickles. Have people stopped making those so much on other servers too?

        Ive sold ~100 robes in the last two months...

        Prices varying from 800pp - 1150pp or so (depending on how many others are selling robes in the bazaar)

        Because all my chains come from a JCM enchanter, I can afford to sell robes for cheaper than most everyone else, so when I setup trade for the night I just put them at the best price in the bazaar for the night. (I only have one account).

        Because of robes, I keep champagne / lotus pies / cabbage / MTP / golden idols / star ruby steins (IF I have time) on vendor also. Save other people time, and If people buy a robe they generaly buy the rest from me also hehe.
