  • Tunare prices - 250pp for Yew leaves?

    What are prices on other servers for Yew leaves and small bricks of velium?
    I went to buy some the last couple days and and found that small bricks are going for ( or at they are trying to ) sell 75-100pp.
    Yew leaves I got a few for 150pp but some people want 250-300pp for each leaf, not even bottled yet.
    Is this high? seems like I use to see them for 100pp all the time. I was really disappointed in the pricing, especialy since one guy (that posts on this board) had 96 of them but wanted 250pp each and would not go down even I bought them all.
    Any ideas?

    Well your paying for the time spent, danger and difficulty it took someone to gather that material. Some people price their time higher than others.
    *shrugs* If you do not feel the time etc they spent to obtain the material is comparable to the price they ask then dont buy and go gather the material yourself .. or wait for someone who doesnt value their efforts so highly

      When I did buy Small bricks of Velium (I am really behind on my converting pieces to studs so I stopped buying them), it was for 25 to 30pp. I have not experienced 100pp per brick.

      For Yew Leaves, the prices vary, and I don't see them that often when I do its been from 500pp to 1000pp PER leaf.

      Thats all on Tarrew Marr

        Prices on tradeskill stuff varies wildly. Many times, people will find something they think might be a tradeskill item, and throw it out for sell for stupid prices even.

        Velium is common, but in high demand. I never pay more than 25 a small brick.. period. I have more velium now than i have pelts and tannins to use with, and bank space to make tempers with /sigh.

        Yew leaves are rare... and farming them if a long, although no necessarily dangerous, task... unless you roam around killing as well. I've payed 200 for leaves, but i don't normally buy them for more than 150. There's several panther pieces that sell well, and pp is fairly easily recouped from buying them.

        That said.. it used to be you could tell the show-eq users by how many yew leaves they had for sell. Getting 3-6 an hour foraging, if you're lucky, doesn't lend itself to having large quantities.

        The best way to deal with bazaar prices is, fix in your mind what you are willing to pay for the items you need... and buy at that, or below. If someoen has what you want for more, don't buy it. There's plenty of people in the game, and eventually you will find what you want, for the price you want to pay.

          When PoP came out, they added a quest for a nice item with the Spell Haste II focus effect and +15 save vs. poison and disease.

          http://www.eqtraders.com/quests/pop_foraging.htm

          It requires a yew leaf.

            Yew Leafs are real Pain to find, so i would pay the 250p instead of starin to the ground for hours..

                For small bricks of velium, my max price is 20pp in the Bazaar and 15pp if I'm auctioning to buy in Velks, Crystal Caverns, Thurg or Great Divide.
                Small pieces I'll pay 12pp in the Bazaar and 10pp when auctioning. I routinely have a complete supply of Arctic Wyvern, Cobalt Drake and Tigeraptor armor for sale and seldom have a problem with velium supplies.

                I pay 50pp for yew leaves in the Bazaar, but they very seldom sell at that low a price. Typical Povar prices are 200-500pp.

                I agree with previous posters that advise you to fix a maximum purchase price in your mind and stick with it.

                  I have never found one from a groundspawn, ever.

                  I've gotten one to drop from a mob only once, and can't quite remember which mob had it.. i think a panther.

                    This may have been mentioned previously but I noticed when I had turned down the graphics options like texture quality to minimum for framrate reasons that it was much easier to spot yew leaf groundspawns, especially at night. I picked up a number of them while just running around looking for haze panthers.

                      On E'ci:

                      Small bricks of velium are readily available for 30pp or less most of the time, in quantity.

                      Yew leaves are typically not available in the bazaar at any price; the one time I saw any in the bazaar, they were 250pp each for a very small number (3, I think?).

                        I found a Yew Leaf on a vendor once for a few gold, other than that I have only seen them for sale on Bristlebane twice, one time at 200pp each and another at 250pp each.

                          Pretty sure the cheapest I've seen Yew Leaves on Tarew Marr has been 400pp each.

                          I sat at the tiger raptor camp killing raptors and foraging yew leaves for a couple of sessions, ended up foraging 17, finding 3 (*sigh*) as ground spawn. They are a pain :P

                            I've found that wandering through WL as drunk as you can be (do yourself a favor and do this while invis) will help the ground spawn yew leaves jump off the ground right onto your cursor.

                            Something about the distorted vision makes them really easy to spot. (It does make them harder to pick up though...)

                              I've been on these boards a long time, and thought I've seen every possible strategy for collecting ground spawns. Yours is truly unique. Thanks for the chuckle.
