Help, new to Neverwinter

I am trying to get a Coalescent Ward by trading, and I have no idea what a good trade for a Coalescent Ward is. I tried trading three Greater Marks of Power and a Black Opal for one, and I guess it was a bad trade because the guy said welcome to my ignore list when I said what the offer was. Can I get some help with this?

The stuff you offered was worth maybe 20,000AD, if we calculate generously.
If you don't really know what things you have are worth relative to things you want, spend a few minutes browsing the auction house.
Coalescent wards are one of the most valuable items in the game.

Edit: I thought that said potency marks instead of power but becks has summed up the value clearly
ie, to OP... They're not worth much.

Not sure what you're talking about *whistles innocently*
Invoke your three times per day--@60 that's a free 2k AD per character.
Browse the AH for things that are selling fast and well.

Or if you find someone really really generous.

Last year I would've said plenty. This year they seemed to have completely destroyed that so I can only recommend a large army of leadership toons. As a new player I personally wouldn't bother. I don't run dungeons anymore since it's not worth it. I can still make ad from crafting and many leadership toons, but that took a significant ad and time investment. Maybe someone more forgiving of the game can give you some tips whereas I have little that I can advise in the current state of the game.
Though If you're close to 100 sigils and secrets, you can buy the 4th or 5th boon tome and sell it on the ah for a tidy amount.
Theyre also bound to account. So you couldnt sell. But thats mainly how I get my Cwards.
There are also RNG ways if you like that sort of stuff. Its like winning the lottery (in both any negative or positive connotation). But I wouldnt suggest that to someone new. Typically you need AD or $$$ already to win that way.

Scarce isn't really the right term. They're available in unlimited supply with zen. The issue, of course, is that they cost a whopping $10USD each worth of zen! As that translates to 500k AD, the AH pricing is a nice 20% discount. So, you could buy the 500k AD for 1000 zen, then buy the c-ward off the AH, then have 100k AD left. Sort-of win-win.

1. The "get it now" approach - this means you'll have to trade some higher priced items, sell or salvage epic items for enough astral diamonds (ADs) to buy one on the auction house (AH), or otherwise directly purchase one, (from Zen store, with enough Tarmalune Trade bars to buy one).
2. The "long haul" approach - basically, create some more characters, get them to level 10-11, and make sure to keep invoking and running leadership tasks with them. Use the 7-day celestial coin chest since it has a chance at dropping a coal ward, (pretty low % though), and stay on top of leadership tasks to generate ADs - eventually you will get enough ADs to buy a coal ward outright, or one will drop from the 7-day chest.
Good luck & welcome to Neverwinter!

And don't forget daily quests - 3 quick skirmish runs = 3000 AD, for instance. Even if it takes you a couple days, it's more AD for you.
Otherwise - level leadership. At level 20, with all 9 slots open, you'll bring in between 70-100,000 AD per week, per character.
Well, you can't really expect people to trade stuff if you didn't do some research first.
It's hard to say what is a "good" trade for a CWard, as it is easy to sell on the AH. If current AH price is 400k, typically you have to offer more value than 360k, otherwise whoever has a CWard will sell it for 400k, take the 10% cut and get 360k AD to spend on whatever he wants.
Bartering stuff is only good to avoid AH tax (in other words, if I had a CWard I would trade it for something I need AND that has roughly the same value, I wouldn't accept a trade for other stuff I don't need and I'd still have to sell on AH), thus you have to offer something the other guy actually needs, and that varies a lot.
Building AD is a long process. At 50k AD it's still profitable to complete the Lord British quests. Combine his quests with Rhix quests and you can reach the daily refine cap while doing what you're already doing anyway.
Leadership has already been mentioned in the posts above, it's a steady way to get AD but you'll need to be level 20 in the profession and it will take months.

Running dungeons usually comes with a lot of drama (wipes, kick-offs, RNG). Running one also takes a lot of time. Besides, most loot pieces are bound (cannot be sold), and the loot that can be sold is the loot that everyone else is selling already in AH (auction house) for cheap.

Wrong game?
Short term, do dungeons and sell loot. Salvage what you can't sell or use.
Long term, get about 20 character slots. At 60/20 (character/leadership levels) a modestly developed single character can bring you about 15K-20K a day steady income. It takes a *long* time to get to that point though. Leadership is the slowest leveling profession. And you need to max two other professions to get all the slots. As well as have 4 purple tools for another prof to open up another slot. It also requires spending AD on stuff like leadership assets. The point is its a long term goal. Not a get rich fast method.
*You can obviously do this with more than 20 slots. But I suggest stopping there. More than that and you wind up feeling like you are playing a spreadsheet more than a game. Its just to easy to burn out.*
Optional stuff:
- With low level characters running the blacklake skirmish during the bonus hour use to be viable. Not done it lately.
- I personally like using the foundry from time to time. At 60 you can get Rhix daily foundry and lord protectors foundry quest to net you 12K for running 4 foundry quests. I don't bother unless I have lord protectors quest though.
- You can do the same thing as above with gauntlgrym. Even if you don't normally run it. Wait till you have all three lord protectors quest. And all three rhix quests. Then run all of it on that character for a nice chunk of AD for all the quests.
Other Methods:
- Other professions. Not really done this myself, but hear about it a lot. People sell some crafted stuffs. Mostly shirts and pants I think. Suggest you research this if interested.
- Lockboxes. Plenty use the exchange to get keys. Then sell the lockbox contents. I've heard that its up and down a lot but is at a profit over the long term. I try to avoid random stuff here like its the plague myself. Would require a lot of research to keep up with what is selling high, what boxes to open, etc...
Short answer - yes
Long answer - Yes, and all the other purple items add up too.
Don't forget shards have value and also, your seals, once you salvage them, are worth 150 AD each. It all adds up.
My advice to you is to always be doing something. Never idle.

My runs are drama free.
I think what you mean is PUGGING dungeons comes with a lot of drama. Run with guild or legit or some other group.

However, i don't think this is much help to a new player, as you would have to open a large amount of boxes (i'm talking over a hundred a week, maybe more) to make any sort of reasonable profit.
