Is it just me? But has anyone noticed that jadeite has started selling at the rare material trader (for a mere 1.8K each!) while amber is still fetching a high price of 3k each?

Amber will eventually be sold at the rare materials trader. Just gotta wait for ppl to sell them to it...

traders have their own stock, so whenever a person sells material to them, thats how much theyll have in total.

Not that many people like Luxon armor, everyone loves Kurzicks!

That's probably why Jadeite is much cheaper.

That's what I was thinking. There's only one instance where I prefer the Luxon version to the Kurzick.

Simple reason too, Kurzick Armor looks good in black.

Jadeite and Amberite,now the title is complete. Anywho I think Jade looks pretty cool,though I haven't yet gotten factions.

I think the 1.5k Luxon Necro looks way better than it's 1.5k Kurzick counterpart. As for the 15k Necro... both are blah.

Also, Amber is going to stay high for a while since most Wa/Mo out there want to get the Kurzick armor and look like Sauron.

Luxon faction is a lot easier to farm than Kurzick. Any dolt with one or two running skills on his char can solo the Luxon supply run. That's 400 faction points in 2 minutes. You can't do that for Kurzicks. Ther supply run is much longer and probably impossible, or at least a lot harder, to solo (didn't try it serioulsly yet, but there's a lot more crippling and snaring going on in the Echovald than on the Jade Sea). Next best thing would be the duel of houses, but that will at least take more time and either a little bit of skill or a team.

Hence, Jadeite, easier to get, cheaper.

Its probably the kurzick warrior armor...lot of people seem to like it.

Myself I prefer almost all of the kurzick armors to the luxons, but thats just my opinion.

I can do it, and I can't even run droknars.

Good job then. How long does it take and how often do you fail, compared to the Luxon supply run?

I may have been exaggerateing, but I stand my point.

The Kurzik supply run takes under two minutes. I do it with my ranger/warrior easily. There's only one area of any concern, the very beginning. All you have to do is time the mobs and hug the left wall. It's quite easy to avoid the agro.

Just trap the duelists quest outside Brauer Academy. If you get a crapload of traps set, and none of the monks pop healing seed, you can get 400 faction in less than 2 min.
