Questions for Troll smiths

[UggokTerrisThule]

Hi all, long time lurker here. I have recently fulfilled my years-old wish to become an accomplished smith [not GM'ed yet, effective skill at 246, but getting there].

I didn't do it to get rich (or I would've done it long ago with a human mule!), I just like the idea of making weapons and keeping Troll culture alive after the Froglok incident. But of course I would not mind recouping some expenses and making a few shinies from it, so I was wondering what sells well? The honed blades of the ykesha jumped out as a possible winner, since they don't have a recommended level. Those are the only things I have made so far. I have sold a couple of them, seems that Frostbringers provide the price ceiling on them (which is not great news since there seem to be a bunch of them out there now).

Anyway, does anything else sell as well? Are Rallos yaks worth making (1 less delay but lvl 45 rec)? Was thinking that the Inny orbs might move a bit since there are a lot of Inny necros out there. Or should I pretty much stick to making the non-imbued yaks for the bazaar, and others for fun or requests?


Also, has anyone else noticed that there are a lot more Innothule Mushrooms out there than Swamp Vegetables? Or is this just my bad luck?

As the seller for the only Troll Smith on Xegony, I think I can provide some good info here.

1) Rallos Yaks do sell fairly well. The lower delay and 5 AC, not to mention the large number of Rallos Warriors out there, make it worth-while.

2) Don't bother with Mistmoore Shields... the Tae Ew Shield really ruined the market there.

3) The Falcion sells quickly, when we can get one to make. Don't make the Imbued versions though. Same with the Sharkbone Hammer, though for some reason it seems to be less popular.

4) The Fearful & Hateful Sceptres sell well, same with the Orbs.

5) Yeah, the Mushrooms are much more common than the Veggies... but then, both are much more common than Troll GM Smiths.
