2) The farmers must have been AFK all weekend, because there were multiple times where the AH ran out of stacks of Peridots and Rank 5s. Nearly every enchantment level 5-10 went up in the last few days.
Not necessarily.
Someone I know has been stocking up on enchants. I think he was planning to spend 10-15mil on it
3) Module 3 is around the corner! Just a little over two weeks away. So what can we expect? Perhaps an increase in prices as people stock up? Perhaps a flood of items into the market beforehand?
I have a few friends spending tons of cash on lockboxes for fun and buying up other stuff in the AH for fun.
I think people will be in for a surprise at a few changes.

It's been a while since I did some market commentary, so here we go! We're only one week away from the release of Module 3! Whoo-hoo! Whats that mean? Inflation, inflation, and more inflation! The price of nearly everything is going up, such as...
1) Peridots
2) Stacks of Rank 5(99)
3) C. Wards
4) Most Enchantments and Runestones.
This is most likely caused by more people returning to game and investors buying up the good deals to either flip or use for themselves. The ZAX, as well, has held strong about 400 for some time, creeping into the 450s briefly this weekend. Why? There have been some great sales by Cryptic recently, including Keys, very good companions for Open World PVP, and the best-selling Black Dye!
Don't forget that the release of a new module is a great way to make some quick AD! Play the ZAX, buy some items to flip, or take a chance at those new lockboxes. Anyway you go, new content is a new opportunity for wealth-building.
Your welcome I hadn't posted it on the forums myself as I'm not sure if Cryptic is 'ok' with it, I sent a mail to the forum mods but have not heard back yet. Glad to see the site is getting used.

Sorry! As it stands now, I see no reason to disallow it.
There's been no official response about it though and as such, when given, would trump my post here.
Since I don't really have any other place to put it, just wanna let you know when the ZAX is empty (as in there is none to buy), I'm just having the site record a 500 for consistency. It grabbed two error values that defaulted to 0 the first times the exchange was empty, but I cleared those entries already. If you'd like me to record something different in this instance, let me know, open to ideas.

Crazy, right? I noticed there was only about 2k Zen to buy about a half-hour ago. That's record-breaking, there. Your best bet is to put up an order and wait for it to get filled.

Well, folks, it's been awhile since I posted in this beloved guide, so here we go:
1) ZEN shortage! Since the release of Module 3, the ZAX has been capped and there's heavy, heavy demand for ZEN. As a regular purchaser of ZEN from the ZAX, I've noticed about a 12 hour turn-around time to buy ZEN at 500 AD.
2) C. Wards are now BOP from the T. Bar Merchant! Old news, yes, but this is one of the factors causing the spike in prices for Weapon and Armor Enchantments.
3) Stacks of Rank 5s are sky high! Did you buy up stacks of Rank 5s before Module 3 when they were selling for less than 80k? You could have easily, easily doubled your investment. An account with 5kk AD would be 10kk! This was, by far, the trade of the year. 100% ROIs are not very common.
Happy trading, folks, and good luck getting your BI Gear!

wonder why the stacks of 5s doubled in price? shortage from people refining new artifacts maybe

Yes. People are starting to get their banner artifacts.
Also, people have nothing to buy with their diamonds since they can't easily purchase zen. They don't usually purchase those overpriced keys from the auction house.
Hi, my Zen tracker is now tracking the amount of Zen Requested at 500 AD each, it's the 2nd graph down on the page. Example from the first few datapoints:
When/if the Zen price drops below 500 again, the highest sell price will also be tracked and shown on the same graph as the buy price. I've also shaved 5 minutes off the data collection interval

Awesome, justsyndra! Thanks so much for your ZAX charts and tools!
With regards to Leadership, why is that I cannot do more than 3 War Game or Tactical Training tasks at a time? Just hit level 19, 16 days away from 20 and those glorious 1600 AD tasks.
PSA: You don't need to grind Spinward Rise for your Elemental artifact main hand if you have some AD lying around. You can craft it via the Tyranny of Dragon's campaign screen.

For whatever reason, Leadership's XP-only quests are subject to the 3 at once limit, while other professions with gathering/crafting materials don't have a limit. They probably wanted to slow down the rate you can get to level 20 because of the RAD tasks.
The rule is that you're limited to 3 of a particular task. The exceptions are gathering and refining tasks. You can do as many Deep Wilderness Gatherings or Mass Forging/Weaving etc.. as you like, but you can only make 3 of the same kind of pants at once. Leadership has no tasks that are exempt from this.

Looks like we're back to record, pre-chicken levels of ZEN asks, folks. Enjoy the backlog. It's a great way to make money from flipping Pres wards from the ZEN store. Some good AD to be made!

Hi again, another update for nwzen! I'm now tracking some select items in the auction house. You can find a new dropdown menu in the option section that has the 'ZAX', 'Preservation', 'Coalescent' and a few others listed. The ZAX is just the normal Exchange graphs, but selecting one of the other items will show you a graph of that item's lowest sell value in the auction house.
It shows a the item's name and a nice little icon for it. Notice for Preservation wards, we're only looking at stacks of 10, no more no less. All other items right now look at single-stacks, so you may be able to buy Rad R7s in bulk for cheaper, but the site is just looking at singles for now!
(I've also increased font size, done some SQL query cleanup, and spruced up the options menu since I last posted here. There's also a twitter you can follow for more immediate updates on anything site related, or as just another way to contact me )

Old news.
Been keeping track of ZAX using that and profiting healthily.
Thanks to Syndra again though!
Rash, I thought you'd be sharp enough to post that in this thread if you knew about it.
Disappointed in you, man.

Do you really have to recommend for people to make the situation worse ):
Not in the slightest. I'm simply a 1) capitalist and 2) opportunist. If I see a way that people can clearly profit off a circumstance, I point it out.
Happy trading, Trace.
