Cultural Needles

[Impudent]

I made some Cultural needles the other day.

I can't seem to find out if they are consumed on usage, either fails or success.

I did find one OBSCURE note that mentioned these needles were NOT consumed, regardless of fails or success, and I am looking to Verify this.

At 15pp PER cina stick, I don't want to dump these on the market if they are consumed.

When you make a robe, the needle is not consumed...in a similar sense to an embroidering needle.

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for being slow, but for clarification, I can keep 1 needle, ans sell/give/trash all the rest.. right?

[Velurian]

Yes.

[scarbrowed]

They sell to vendors for over 9pp each. Definitely don't trash them.

[Impudent]

Thanks a ton for the responses.

Does anyone know what the buy back from vendor is? I may just create a bazaar mule and put these on it. I have 12 extra and figure they *MAY* sell ok.

Besides, I have about 150+ celestial essences that I've no clue what to do with.

Give the CE to me

I find that as you get higher into tailoring or for that matter any of the upper levels of smithing and other skills, you use Celestial essence faster than you do water.

On a typical tailoring run of solsitce robes I use 200 Ce's. This is for 30 attempts at the robes.

What this means to me is that I could 1. pay 4pp each in bazaar, or 2. make them myself.

The cost per stack of CE's is approx 34pp or 1.7pp each. if you do the math you are saving a ton of cash doing them yourself.

Now you may say what a pain! - I say yes but what about when you are foraging for componennts? how about when your medding during a raid or sittign doing nothing.

Make up them ahead of time, save some serious cash, and be happy!
The best part of CE's is they are 2 components, and are a NO FAIL combine. You need to have zero skill and you will never ever fail.

Thats why people have them in the bazaar for 4pp each and often have 1000 or more - is a business to them!

just my 2 cents - make em yourself save some pp to buy whatevre else you have to spend your cash on.
