What materials to stack before Nightfall is released!

Start collecting Ectoes & Shards you will need them (for FoW armor /doh)

Silk for sure, that I can bet on.

Dyes.

...Dye prices went through the roof when Factions launched. Heck, dye prices jumped considerably just when the dragon masks were released and everyone wanted to dye those!

I'm hoping that Sapphires/Rubies become common as the Raven Staff and sell for naff all... juzt to spite all the ones who hoarded them. Why should Anet help the rich get richer?

Either way its hoarding Linen, Silk, Leather (Elonian/normal) and Ectos/Shards for me.

I also really hope they give bones a use... As it is now you get between 4-500 bones just from playing through factions, but there's nothing to use them on except a few bones for a necro armour.

For me its:

- Cloth (Loads)
- Linen
- Silk
- Leather
- Wooden Planks
- Iron

i dont think theres gonna be new armor for wars, cos when factions came out, u saw the armor u culd have in pvP, but tehre was no new Armor classes (cept for paragon 'n' dervish) in PvP

From what I was told they where part of the game then phased out just not removed from crafters. They would have to add a slot for them for storage, since there is currently none.

I think the following will become hot commodities...

Elonian Leather Square (duh)...which means that Tanned Hides and Glittering Dust should become more valuable since you can craft these.

Spiritwood Planks...only one very limited use for these right now, can see them expanding.

Linen/Silk/Damask - and cloth to make these - this should be pretty obvious based on the Dervish's clothing.

Don't forget Mother of Pearl. We already know that this will be needed.

R n S wern't used for Factions I cant see why they would be used for Nightfall, people are just hoarding them for no reason. A lot of people have been hoarding these for ages, if anet did implement a use for them there would be a lot of new millionaires and we know anet doesnt like imbalance , I dont think they will ever have a real use.
If there is armour that requires some kind of jem they will probably create new ones, ie Jade and Amber.

Sapphires, Rubies, Ectos, Shards, Hides, Fur, Cloth, Spiritwood Planks. I think a new material brought by Nightfall will be Ivory.

You could see them, just not use them.

fow and shard will be pale compared to armor that has gems on them about time i look like royalty LOL

Go ask a alpha guy they will know

For me its:

Spiritwood
Steel
Basic Mats that are harder to get, chitin, plant fiber, etc.
I can go get stacks of wood in like 1 hr from trolls so no point of stocking those.

Just all the basics tha most/all armour needs to craft the first few levels of it, i.e iron, cloth,hides, leather and fur. These will probably cover dervisher and Paragon armour aswell. Steel is a safe bet aswell, for the new warrior armour.

I'm just gonna start saving every scrap I get. That way, once I find out what I need, I'll either have it, or I'll have other stuff that I can sell and buy what I do in fact need.

I see...a new material called Mithril!

Hopefully Monstrous Eyes will have use too. I have bought 250 of them =/

Fur...the rangers are seen wearing fur, other professions might have armors that use fur also.
