Let's list the greens and golds that will turn from crappy to high demand in Factions.

I think that some items and weapons with "while enchanted" mod should go up in price once Factiions comes out.

I predict that Sundering will go up, as there will be a lot of new people.

You said "crappy" mods.

I smell marketing opportunity. Like candy cane shards are the beginning of the Wintersday event. I was selling those for 1k each.

Arent those claw things going to stay for 1 day? Just for the Day of the Tengu event (or whatever its called)? Or, will you be able to sell those claw things to players so they can have their own "mask"?

The items might stay as normal drops, but it lookds like the traders would simply disappear.

I'm guessing dagger mastery mods will be big, there seem to be a lot of people wanting to make an assassin.

Pick a Green, any green, the price will rise from 2-20k, depending on the item, but they will all go up.

Zealous mods arent always usefull but people will go psychotic to get some for their daggers... and if you're talking about crappy weapons too, people will be buying any damage factions items just to have the new skin. chances are, you won't even get to any max dmg's besides the preorders till a few hours after official release, when people will start going serious on the missions. Meh. Seems like only people who will be quitting school or work for a few days (like me, the rest of the class is gonna be in D.C. anyway) will get their feet in the market. Thank god i've stockpiled so much gold.

I also predict an inflation on ANY +energy or +fortitude mods. <25HPs will probably be first to rise, seeing as to how their the cheapest now.

Don't flame me but,

Non-Prophecies players will get to use weapons from the Prophecies campaign? Vice Versa.

Just I guess

Lower req weapons that are semi decent. Lots of low level chars won't be able to use the higher req weapons for a bit.

Would be weird if there is no greens in Cantha. But there is some greens you can always cash on. I know the Zeal dagger mod will be huge. If you head over the Assa forum, they all plan on using Zeals.

I thought there was going to be an increase in quality of items(at least I heard this), which would probably mean a jump from +15% to maybe 20% damage or a bluff to say 10% suddering 30% chance. These changes will make old prophecies greens rather worthless; other than their relatively easy aquisition of a "good" item.

EDITED: This was based on the lastest interview telling about factions.

Even if they increase sundering to 30% chance it will still be junk. It only triggers on skills and will only add dmg done by the base weapon dmg. Which means a 1-2 dmg increase

Vamp daggers will be in more demand than the zeals. Zeals are for nooby Zins. Zins real problem is dmg not energy.

Armor mods are going to go up. Zins don't need hp they need armor.

well my point was that our current weapons will probably be outdated. I was just speculating on the actual increases.

I think your basic clean weapons no matter what the skin will cost no more than 3k.

I have no idea what you're talking about twicky. 'sin's have no problems with damage. Vamp/Zeal dagger mods should go crazy though. a good perfect vamp/zeal dagger with 15^stance should go for huge ammounts, no matter what they look like. Keep in mind, the sins are also offered more versatility than most classes, offering at least 2 types of damage (piercing, slashing, and i forget whether or not blunt) + ele dmg. So that might matter to people also.

You're forgetting the biggest items of all: Amber and Jadite.

There's going to be a huge flood of people wanting to buy shiny new 15k armor, all of which requires amber or jadite.

So let's see... you could spend several days doing quests and playing Alliance battles over and over again... OR you could just buy them wholesale from someone else. Guess what the people who have hundreds of plat saved up are going to do...

I predict that those who spend the first few days simply racking up as much faction as possible and turning it into amber/jadite will make a tidy profit.

EDIT: The Fox, the max stats of items will not go up. They have said that there will not be new weapons or armor that is superior to Prophecies items, this would mess up a lot of things.

" We're improving the quality of all rare (gold) and uncommon (purple) items significantly. " That's in their last interview... Basically if they change the mods on all future drops then the old ones are worthless, BUT nobody has been given any "advantage" because people from Tyria could just play more until they get a gold that has the new and improved mods.

Here's a link to it. The quote I used is near the bottom of the page.

When I first read that, I took it to mean that the stats on gold and purple drops will just be better on average than they are now, not that the max stats would go up.

True enough but if the price of materials jacks up there will be a counter shift to farm and convert junk in to crafting material to make a profit (from npc traders even) then when people realize this, there will be too much crafting material which will drive the price down.

If u want to go to fow check that the new armor stats be added or not
there will be more benefit.

because u can know the ecto price in future faction from this.

if no new stats on fow armor, its mean no Rt and Asn's fow armors there.
so...u can sell ur all ectos and shards earlier.

No, this won't happen. Right now, prices are low and stable because you don't have many current characters buying new armor. New characters and new people are. But the old characters are still bringing materials into the economy. The start of factions will involve new characters, new people, and old characters.. all buying new armor. The ratio of new armor being bought to new materials being salvaged will be much different than it is currently. And the % of people farming, compared to questing initially will be much lower than it currently is. There's no way in hell material prices are going to go down.

I would sell almost all items right now. When factions comes out, people will want new skins, and none of the current skins (even the chaos axes and stuff) will be worth crap compared to what they are worth now. Mods, materials, runes, sigils.. those will all go up, while most items prices will go down.

There will be more new players however, so I'm sure you can still sell items with decent stats for a decent amount.. but that's just do to them being new. And new people aren't loaded with gold, so it's really a mute point.
