This thread is not about Nightfall so don't move it. Prices of Spiritwood Planks are on the rise. It was somehow leaked that the rare material will be used in Dervish armor. It sucks for me because i just spent all my money on 15k armor. Spiritwood was at 100 this morning and now its at 150. It has never been that high which leads me to believe that a lot of ppl are buying it. i hope it doesn't go to high like steel did when Factions came out. I wanna make money off it too.

If anything just buy up now and sell the day before the game releases if your worried about it dropping.

Here's my personal take on it:

A guild or alliance, probably large in number, starts crafting huge ammounts of Spirit Wood Planks. Then, they start spreading around a rumor about Nightfall, and Dervish armor. Its makes some little ammount of sense, so instantly the rumor is believed by the masses to be true, and everyone starts buying spirit wood. Thus driving the price up on a pretty much worthless item. After the price is rediculously high, the guild starts selling their cheaply made wood for a huge profit.

And thus the scam goes on, until Nightfall comes out and everyone bought all that wood in advance for nothing.

I think this post should be deleted for baiting.... We all guessed on the mats for Factions too.. I stock pile iron and didnt bother to get cloth or tanned square hides. I got stuck with a big pile of iron...

it is probably because, now that we have material storage there is no reason to sell any junk untill it hits 250. That is why my spirit wood just sits.

Fortunately you can craft spiritwood planks so they can't go high enough.

Exactly. You can craft Spiritwood Planks for 5 Wood, 10 Glittering Dust and 100 gold.

Since both Wood and Glittering Dust are plentiful, I highly doubt that the cost of a Spiritwood Plank would ever exceed 250 gold.

that would only mean that those materials will rise in price too since vial of ink made glitter and plant fiber prices to rise.

Glittering Dust is way too easy to get for the price to rise. Last I checked, Glittering Dust is the cheapest material at the materials trader. Heck, anyone going into Kryta or into the Underworld/Fissure of Wow generally has almost a stack of it after only a couple of runs.

Even at its peak, Dust was selling at 10g a piece, which dropped sharply a week after Factions came out.

Plant Fibers are a different story, as they only drop in very specialized areas, which are kind of obscure to farm.

woohoo! Rumors will make me RIIIICH!!!!

I have been preparing for Nightfall, and the place where i farm has racked up 100 spirit wood planks in 2 days. Prolly 5 hrs of farming at most. Lol, and i got a nice long stretch of time till Nightfall. HAhaha. thats funny.

Even if they aren't truely used in Nightfall, i can still sell em when they hit their peak value at the trader. Lol, same thing happened in FActions. I simply had TONS of steel through just playing the game and salvaging everything. Man that was fun.

I will never/have never tried to "play" the market and buy up a ton of stuff in CASE the rumors are true. But i still seem to get rich off these rumors. Thanks!

Cheers! LOL !
