Spells stacking

[Liwsa]

Now that the parchments and such stack to 100 would it be unreasonable to maybe ask if spell scrolls could also get a stacking increase(at least to 50 or so).

Why would you ever want more than 20 of one kind of spell in stock?
The most I ever make for any spell is 3 at a time.

Ill admit i got lazy and ate the pp just to make 40 copies of Horror in an attempt to get some skil ups.
I wouldnt complain about them having them take up 1 slot as opposed to 2 :P

By the way ... anyone else notice that papers stack to 200, where all the other stationary only stacks to 100?

[Liwsa]

When you do runs of 200 combines at a time to skill up you tend to get a little lazy and make more the 20 copies of the popular ones.

Because my trader can only sell 80 different spells at one time .

I never put more than 2 copies of any single spell on my trader at one time. If I have more copies, they go in the bank until those are sold. Supply and demand and all that economic stuff. I feel that someone (not that I would ever do this , but those other evil price slashing researchers on CT) is more likely to undercut a spell price if there are 20 copies of the same spell on a trader versus just one or two copies.

[Elfdruidess]

Having more than 2 of the same spells on trader not only invite price slashers. It also slows down sales.

Best example to illustrate this is: if one trader has 5 copies of Hand of Conviction on trader, buyers will wait for the price to drop. They will gamble on the price dropping until that trader is down to selling 1 copy of the spell. When every buyer waits, no one buys. Eventually, the trader may be forced to drop the price.

But if the same trader only shows 1 copy of the spell on trader and put the rest in bank, that single copy will sell faster. Because buyers may think they cannot risk letting someone else buy up that single copy.

[Elfdruidess]

On the other hand, I cannot deny when there is already a trader selling 20 Protection of the Nine, I am not gonna make more of that same spell and will pick some other spell to make. As a tactic, putting stacks of the same spell on trader is for cornering the market on that particular spell, essentially telling others to back off from that one.

[Ravanta Suffer]

I am just not bothering selling spells as much. I got the ethereal quill recently, and within a week I noticed that people stopped buying 69 and 70 spells.

I had about 45 different ones for sale at one point.

The trading community on my server has kindof backlashed against the researcher being the one who makes the big profit off the vellums (despite us being the only ones who can do anything with it) so the only things that are really successful lately are auctioning for custom combines, or auctioning to combine their vellums for a modest fee.

Neither are as convenient, especially if you are a raiding person.

So I said screw them, I now sell completed spells for significantly LESS than the idiots are charging just for the vellums now.

Looking at it objectively, who are the ones that get hurt?

The people doing skillups.

Sigh

Same here, I often have all 80 slots full. But 80 * 20 = 1600 ! That's way more spells than I'll ever stock. Usually I'll have 1-3 of each, maybe 180 total items at most.

[Ngreth Thergn]

while it may make sense...

I just don't see any urgency to spend time on this while I consider other things much more important.

[Eanelder]

I'm still curious why do all stationary < lvl 71 stack to 100, but papers stack to 200? By no means am I complaining cause allowing them stack to 200 will be great considering Ill be stock piling them for the next several months / years. (maybe I just answered my own question there? )

I guess my concern is that suddenly they might be switched to stacking to 100 and i lose any parchments i have over that per stack (not sure how that would be handled).

[Ngreth Thergn]

I decided based on the "quality" of the "paper" (in general terms of paper)... as the quality got higher, it stacked better as the overall thickness became less.
