I just have to say. Thanks. About 2 months ago I was reading a threat discussing what rare materials would probably increase in price when Factions came out. The majority of posts mentioned Gems. One caught my eye though. Someone said to invest in a little steel. It was sure to be used in new armors and would definitely not drop. So that's what i did. Over the next to month between farming and buying for 100g a piece I managed to collect more than 5000 steel ingots.

Guess what, because of Factions, the merchants have been regularly sold out of steel for the first 3 days. I know its wrong but I've been charging
400g an ingot because ppl pay. I just broke my 2 million mark tonight at work.

This website is all about sharing ideas and helping one another. kudos to you!

Congrats.

I held onto a few stacks of crafting items, but I didn't have the guts (or the funds) to buy aggressively.

I may come out 10K or so ahead by letting a few stacks pile up. No biggie.

I like how people sell Steel for 400, when the buyers could just switch districts and have a merchant with steel for 260.

Well, at least that's what happened with me each time I needed materials.

Those who buy steel off trader are silly, you can easily make them by yourself.

Prices are global, switching districts does nothing to the price of material.

Man, You must've been WTS alot then. I sold 6 ingots for 1k ^^ just cause this guy kept buying stuff off me, and I know they're just starting out mostly, even though most have tyrian storage. Anyway, GG on that though. 2mill congrats, although its kinda false to say 2mill as you can't have more than 1(something I loathe about storage), so may I ask what you invested that other mill on?

You're not paying attention to the crafting prices, last timeI checked to craft steel was 200g, to craft chracoal, needed for steel 200g. The only materials that are reasonably priced are leather and parchmanet,

I've just had to log off and chill for a while after trying to sell my steel hoard. Every other trade was an attempted scam, I got sick of seeing the trade window click off 3 times in a row and a lower ammount of gold appear or people ask me to go outside and drop it for them. I'm about as scam proof as someone can get, but I bet these scumbags are cleaning up with all the new players about.

I stocked up on a mix of hides, cloth (linen and leather too since I'm bound to get some of them too with a salvage) and wood. The hides and cloth are the only things really profitable, but since Factions came out, I've also gone around farming plant fibers.
I would also like to thank this site for the insider info that has helped me gain ~30k in the past few days.

Actually. you can have upwards of 3 million gold...

2 seperate accounts with 1.4 million per account (factions kept seperate from prophecies)...you would have to have a real honest friend to xfer all that cash eh?

He said he made 2 million. He didn't say he has 2 millions in storage. He most likely has ectos.

Thanks for the confidence. lol.
I bought two copies of factions.
One to merge and one stand alone.
I did not want this thread to invite flaming.
Guess I should expect it by now.

Heh nice. I went the buy 126 sup vigors at 21k (yes they were that low at one point) way instead of steel. Looks like im making 15k+ per vigor. 15000 x 126 = gg you do the math. Luckily I have a good friend to hold vigors and gold.

Anyone noticed that Cloth is also going up? I really really hope that wood will go up too- I have thousands (literally) of wood.
