So, Some of the armor we need to craft requires Deldrimor steel, But the prices at the trader is extortionate.

How much would you be willing to pay for a stack of Deldrimor?

I wouldnt say anything more than 200k

Views?

I don't see anything in this list that needs more than 50:

So, unless you plan on buying a complete set of Delidrimor weapons or every peice of Central Transfer Chamber tat available, why is the cost of a stack an issue?

Yes, Deldrimore steel is expensive. But not as expensive as some things as Aera pointed out.

Have a nice day!

yeah stop whining, some things are expensive fora reason. For Deld steel demand is high. Prices change but if it's out of your budget, just play the game til you can afford the stuff.

See the problem? If you want to look fancy, pony up the gold. Otherwise stay with what you already have.

Views?

Am i crying? No
Am i saying i cant afford it? No

First, I have my FoW, Sets ect on my Monk and Ele.

But, What if i do want to buy all the sets or just keep a stack ready for when i need to make some Transfer Chamber items? Or anything which requires Deldrimor Ingots?

All i asked was what your views are on how much you would pay for a stack?

So, At the end of the day, Read what is said instead of trying to flame me.

QQ guys.

Have you a stack of everything else that you "might" need in the future? ectos? shards? fangs? claws etc - all of which are more expensive
(PS - you dont "need" to make any of it, I think the word you were looking for is want).

Quote:

Thats easy and you know - the max is the price of 250 from the trader and the min is the cost to make it instead.

Start pointless threads, you see the result.

Steel: 170g

Deld Steel: 800g

Rubies: 4.8K

Thats just it, it ISNT steel , its Deldrimor Steel (liken it to steel vs Stainless Steel in R/L) and is rarer in the game than the other items quoted (have you ever had any drop??).

Just be thankful there are people out there that take the time to farm the mats and make it to sell to the trader, or the price would be much higher .

You think the trader wanting 12.5k more than you're willing to give for something that you don't even need is extortion? ...and you own two sets of FoW? Seriously?

Buy from other players or craft your own. Problem solved.

They gave up like I did as with Favour being the way it is and all the 150 ecto and shards you need compared to other 15K armours even Kurzick and Luxon don't need that amout of amber and jadeite.

I read what you said. It was kind of silly to say that Deldrimor Steel - an item that has no real-world equivalent - is somehow "extortionate". It's a fantasy game with fantasy prices.

To answer you question though, the going price for a stack of anything is usually somewhere between the trader's selling price, and the price the trader buys it for. For example, if the trader sells DS for 800 and buys it for 400 (just an example, I don't know what the real prices are, atm), then the price of a stack should be around 250 x 600 = 150k.
In the case of DS, being able to craft it adds another wrinkle into it. Since yo very seldom get DS as any sort of drop (I have gotten it from hidden treasures in dungeons) and it doesn't salvage from common items, it's very hard to find anyone selling a stack. Most people either just buy it from the trader, or craft it.

really 800g is not a lot. And even to have an artisan craft it can b cheaper (havent actually calc this but i think it is)

Approximately exactly 250 times what I'd pay for one which, from other players, is the average of buy price and sell price from the trader.

1 Charcoal - easily farmed from Fire Imps or Hulking Stone Elementals
10 Iron - easily salvaged from lots of wands, swords, axes, etc.
5 Glittering Dust - easily salvaged from many items
200g

Materials crafters will make it for you cheaper than buying it. Even buying the Charcoal, Iron, Dust, and paying the 200g can be cheaper. Charcoal is usually less than 200g each, 10 Iron is usually about 200g, and 10 Dust is usually less than 200g. Buying from the Rare Material Trader usually costs 800-850g per Deldrimor Steel, yet crafting it would cost 200+200+200+200 at most, and still leave you with 5 Dust left over.

Not a big deal, especially since not many armors require it, and those that do require less than 50 total. Why anyone would buy a stack is beyond me.
