Prices of Crafting Materials

I participated in the past two beta's but I didn't trade a whole lot and I don't want to get cheated in the retail so I was wondering if u guys could help me out with a Buy-Sell Prices list.

Well, since a couple Betas ago, the multiplyed all the gold supply in the game by 10. So prices have gone up 10 times but there is 10 times more gold (cause before they couldn't give fractions of a gold coin so 5 gold is = to .5 gold).

I don't know the exact prices of them. They will probably go up and down. It would be nice if the Gurus could piece together a general guidelines list on prices.

ya i know that they fluctuate but maybe like a span of say for ex. Hide 5-10 gold Scales-30-50 Gold or something along those lines. I did sell all my crafting stuff to the trader in LA before the end of the beta and i found out that the prices changed as i traded as 10 wood planks went from 50 gold to 10 gold after trading about 50 wood planks. But u are right in we need some guidelines. I don't think they will change the whole economy again considering they would have had less than two weeks to do so

Well I'm not sure how the economy will work out, given how everyone will be now working from the ground up. But generally I sell common materials (hides, iron, cloth) for 4-7gp, slightly uncommon materials (parchment) for 15gp, uncommon materials (steel) for 30gp, and the skies the limit for rare materials (silk).

Oh and for all you people who had tried to sell me common materials for 10gp, you're all a bunch of crazies.

if ur selling STEEL for 30 gold look me up ingame Lazerous Demnivanni. lol i think u mean iron cuz steel is really rare and like 200 gold

Nope, I'm talking steel. It's not common as dirt like hides, but it isn't rare either.

The last beta i dint get a single iron
and i wasnt rich either, so i couldnt buy ne
lol
yah i sold a black and silver dye for 250 g (altogether)
I dint want those colors i want like red or blue lol

haha... Black is the rarest dye that exists. With Silver being in second place. You could have sold that for over a plat!

they cost to much they should give them to me for free i like free things.

Just salvage iron from metal weapons and (I believe) staves.

Last BWE I sold my more common dyes for 200-300gp. I used the silver and black dyes on myself (hey, it's the last weekend).

haha GW economic's class

Actually Steel is not common and is not cheap as dirt... It is uncommon and takes a lot of Iron ingots and gold. What you think making it is cheap? I was during the last BWE 1 of the most wealth people, but when it comes down to it I could make Steel which I had resources though, not buy it cheap. In fact the last I knew steel was going for 500g at the least and that was for 1 ingot of steel..

As for the dye, oh well.... Easy come easy go.... I did what ScottishLegend did, sell it for cheap or gave it away and like he said,"He didn't need it". Neither did I. What's the use in having everything, except the best for yourslef? I did!

he never said its cheap as dirt, he said its not common like dirt is, but it isnt rare, so he basically said its an uncommon material, not rare, not common.

Not sure if you've read my post correctly.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if you're paying through the nose making a material you could otherwise salvage for, what you get in reliability you're paying in price.

i find that INCREDIBLY HARD TO BELIEVE since I used salvage kits on all my swords and weapons that are not worth keeping or selling and I NEVER got any steel even when i used my expert salvage kits. Iron wasn't terribly rare i got that out of almost every sword that i salvaged. You can craft steel in burgen hot springs for charcoal gold and ingots i think i am correct in saying that steel is much more rare than steel. Black Dye is rare but not un-findable i had one drop and i bought 4 more in LA for around 800-1200 a piece. Below is me in black dye.(THE NECRO)

I think trading is a neat part of the game and all but once you get later in the game youll have more money then you know what to do with so in long run it really doesnt matter if you trade with gold.

I didnt farm but by the end of the last bWE I had 7 Platiunum with nothing to buy i could see solo farmer having at least 20 plat

steel isnt that rare how far did you get in the game the farther you get the higher the quality of items are and the eaiser it is to get steel

Well then don't believe, I salvaged about 5 steel ingots that weekend, and that was only from salvaging weapons that I thought might have had a special haft or grip.

Edit: and to follow up Orange's post, the likelyhood of getting runes and rare materials from salvage increases with how high end the salvage is.

i got just past the temple of ages i was heading north west when my alarm went off and i took off for LA. still 5 steel in 3 days isn't common by any means.

It was funny how jaded some people were. I never sold steel for under 150 gp, but some people felt 30 gp was a lot for a steel ingot. Of course, those people were the ones buying it, not selling it. If you go to lion's arch, people will spend absolutely nothing on items, they expect to get everything for prices as if the gold hasn't multiplied by 10. just name your price when you say you're selling, and they'll harrass you less. Some people will pay lots more than you're asking, some people feel it's their godgiven right to get a steel ingot for 10 gp. oh and I got 11 steel.
