TT green matts hardly selling if u dont sell a bunch of stacks for 100-200k, gold matts takes awhile to sell now. Cannies they sell for what around 250k? x534523 freakin nirvana runs getting a stack of cannies selling them all for a retardedly cheap price.
Seriously wth, even if you farm like mad for months we would still not make as much we used to do around 1-2 years ago when everything sold soe asily and when green matts actually sold for abit more then 8 stacks for 100k.

Forgodsakes bring in some new content and not a "new expansion with new instances to do in instances we already have". Well morai stuff a new contant but lol, yah lol at that right? b:chuckleb:laugh . Wouldve been great tho if rank 9 gears was farmable, kinda like lets nirvana that you have to farm a certain amount of matts to make the gears but yah to late for that now anyways.

My opinion make Nirvana drops permanent with x2 drops, and with the x2 drops making it not effected by x2 drops so we get 4 chests per run. That way can atleast farm nirvana daily instead of waiting for x2 all the time and people could actually work for r9 refored 3d set daily.

    90% of playerbase is alts and mains which don't need the gear as they can stash it over between them.

    10% of the playbase is actually new and most of them get powerleveled and cant afford to purchase said gear so they just get the almost free but better morai gear instead.

    And btw @ last part that's what caster nirvana is for :P

    It's called less demand.

    A year ago, 2 years ago there were more people needing tt gear and needing to make nirvana gear. Now they have. There are still people they need those things, but not nearly as many and the supply of them has gone drasticly up. More supply + less demand = lower prices. It's simple economics. There are however other items that while there are alot more people needing, but hardly anyone providing which prices on have slowly been going up because of. But I won't tell you what those are cause I like my profits b:pleased

    This, what you also could do is buy out the market and resell everything for higher prices, its what i do. The increase lasts for a week or so.

    People should really try to do fc the old fashion way, meaning form a squad at lvl 70 for fc (hyperbabies yeah, i know but who will actually grind now?) take 1hr-2hrs to complete it. It feels good.. b:bye

    Players need an actual farming instance...nowdays not even Nirvana unless its 2x and unless you spam it a LOT its profitable.

    I players that can't charge gold have no way to get money other than merchanting then its obvious that they're forced to quit....

    For example the new AEU -- what is it '? a farming instance? ,with that low chance to get a book?,and only limited to 6 runs / week?
    And the new Advanced Lunar / warsong what is it?, a farming instance for whom already have decent gear,and even so its not really a "classic" farming dungeon since all you can sell from it is the essence AND the manufacturing service as long as people trust you.

    Morai G15?, farm on normal mobs DQ items?, spending 49M on equips,assuming you already have said money?

    Players haven't got any new farming option since TB expansion,and since then,market got more and more saturated thus decreasing the margins for farming players.

    As a person who farms everyday I would say you probaly just need to switch servers Idk bout on your server but on mine I easilly make 30-50mil a day farming and that comes into effect b4 I put the coin into shop to merchant it. If you are doing TT the ones I find most profitable are TT90 mats since its the most commonly made set for the ppl who can't straight up buy TT99.

    Catshops buying raps between 1-1.3m and cannys 380-430k.
    Catshops selling raps between 1.4m-2.0m and cannys 480-600k.

    peeps dont need tt anymore since everyone is in the 100's now. idk why anyone would do nirvy without 2x unless you're doing caster. but you can always sell pack items, they are crazy high priced now. and sell some fc heads, you can make some decent coin that way.

    I don't know what tt your farm, or what vana you do.

    Last month, on sanctuary my cat shop made 160m from selling tt green mats, by doing 2~4 runs a day. That is not intensive farming at all, where people spend 4~8 hours farming tt, i just spend about an hour with friends, relaxing after studies, work.

    I bought 1k canny the past month.

    People may have alts, mains, but those alts main also need endgame gear. Mains are moving on to g16 armour, that requires lunar or tt base with 250 canny each. People are more likely to roll new sets for their alts if they haven't gotten the gear yet.

    If someone wishes to complain about merchanting, made 200m the past month. All this is in recuperation so my alt and main can get r9 recast gear. By current standards they are endgame already, but it never hurts to get the money ready for the next jump.

    My thoughts: revisit what you farm, how you do it, there are ample opportunities to make money in this game still.

    Before people was getting TT70 set, than TT80 set, than TT90 set cause they was lvling slowly with BH and was using the set for a while. Now people lvl 1-100 in a week, so they don't need to waste money on TT70-80-90 gears.

    It's not just the demand, it's also the supply.

    If you can run 30+ Nirvana and TT instances per day, so can the next moron with an aps build and enough IQ points to mash spark and autoattack. Back before aps was common, TT runs took forever and you actually needed to have half a brain to complete some of them. Now people can run it in a tenth of the time, and you act amazed when deflation happens?

    I'm not saying morai gears, etc. haven't contributed - they definitely have - but the much bigger contributor is people treating TT and Nirv like endless money trees. Try running Nirv without any aps people sometime (y'know, how it was designed?) and imagine what Rap/Canny prices would be like at that farming speed.

    But what the hell, right? Maybe if they deflate enough we'll have more nooblets running around in TT99 and nirv rather than r8, and then everyone can have something new to complain about. :P

    I bought 1k canny the past month.

    Nice fairy tale dude.

    160M from GREEN TT mats?,by doing 2-4 runs a day WITH your friends?,that means only 1/3 or 1/2 of the drops goes to you,or even lower,and that's like 2 solo runs a day?,in just a month?

    Seriously,I sell various lv.90+ green mats at lowest prices around,and I do have plenty of em,but I never get anywhere close to 160M a month,that's just ridiculous as the prices of most things doesn't even reach 500k x piece and the drop rates on 1x drop are as low as hell,and you claim that you can sell enough TT green mats with just 2-4 NON-SOLO runs a day in a single month?

    On 1x drop a boss that drops decent TT green(not counting the trash green mats that can sometime drop for 4-5 units),drops about 1-2 green mats,assuming you sell for an average of 400k each(Which its already high as only few green mats reach/surpass that),and getting an overall average of 6 decent green mats per run(I am being optmistic),that's 2,4M -- considering you got to share with your "friends"(Unless you want to make us believe that friends run TT with you every day asking nothing),let's cut that by half so 1,2M per run,by doing 2-4 runs that's 2,4M-4,8M per day,assuming that you can sell everything every day we're talking a theoretical profit of 72-144M profit per month,always assuming you can sell everything and you get a quite good drops of 6 decent TT mats per run,and assuming these are all worth 400k at least,so kinda extremely unlikely to get 160M a month since there's just too little demand to sell all that stuff considering all rival sellers.

    We didn't split the money. 160m was total, which can be acquired because all of us can solo it. But we play together, and keep the money as whole until someone needs it. At present one friend is making a g15 weapon, so all the tt money goes to her, myself and the other friend don't care about the money, it comes and goes.

    Ghost lord ribbon = 1m, gba = 800k, sorceress hand = 250k. In 3 runs, you get 3 ghost lord ribbon, 3 gba and 5 hands on average. That is 6.65m a dayx30 = crosses 180m close to 200m. I didn't add gold drops, because they are way too rare for us. Not a fairy tale, just pricing issues, and they do sell at those prices.

    uh actually players that doesn't cash shop or merchant have horrible time getting even Nirvana gear... try farm cannies on a non-high aps squad (as not well geared player),you will take months to get anything.

    Be ready to lower your prices a lot,because Im gonna farm hella a lot of those mats during next 2x -- way more than 2-4 runs a day.(I still don't believe you can sell all that stuff since market its so saturated).

    Most people do, for some very odd reason, the past few 2x we had, ghost lord ribbon was not farmed. There were insane amounts of gba around, but hardly any ghost lord ribbon.

    Try it out, get 2~4 ghost lord ribbon, sell for 900k~1m, they'll sell in one, two days. During 2x prices drop that is natural. They also pick up if 2x are spaced out far enough. Just have to time it right when to sell the bulk. I don't compete with other shops on prices, i just set up my shop and leave it on. It might take 1 week to 2 months, before mats start selling, i don't mind. TT mats is side money, in the sense we all work together to get something that one of us or all of us want. Very different from how most people play. They split money, mats, things like that. That is why we don't mind as long as items sell. Might change price to adjust to other, but no biggy, can't be stringent on these things. What i want to say basically, don't give up on tt during non 2x times, still farm it, do fewer runs, the income is still steady. When you have friends, the runs are fun, you joke around. Time passes quickly. Just make sure that bulk of mats are sold before the next big 2x arrives.

    I know we are small fish in the pond of tt mats, others farmed 20~100 gold mats in the 2x, end point being, tt market is alive still b:victory. Enough for everyone to make a fair penny. Best money we made, we got 2 sorceress souls, that would be 10m usually for us, we made it into tt99 wrists, sold it for 21m, but that was back in the good old days when tt99 arms sold 20~30m for 2 sockets.

    Problem is, some people(like me) for various reasons can't keep PC on all day to keep on a catshop,so they have to use Auction House(or direct sell stuff to really low price to catshops),and Auction House....its kinda bad for selling mats,so rather than selling mats I usually sell gear made from mats,but even putting it at the lowest price currently in AH(knowing that some people don't bother buy/craft mats or look at the many catshops),but even crafting whole TT90 sets every few days doesn't help much since most stuff remains unsold for several days if no more(again,at the lowest price).

    So I guess I have to change my merchanting strategy \o\

    Agree...there are people that simply DO NOT want melee classes,they enjoy magic classes the most and they're very penalized on farming most instances out there.
    The game's mechanic and the playerbase kinda "pressure" you to quit your magic toon and roll some aps fish/BM

    Caster Vana helps but 1-2 runs at day(or more depending on BHs),doesn't makes counts even.

    I just laugh a lot with this thread. First of all I like how 'free players' want to make money fast ignoring what is happening around them and blaming the game and the GMs?!!! b:laugh
    Few month ago there were few cat-shops near Gral Summers selling tt mats. So the TT mats were prety demanded, hence merchant can price the mats high. However players 'poor ones' and 'CSrs' discovered they have other options to grind happily and enjoy the game. (lot of them already mentioned in this thread, like fc runs, hyper, morai gear, mold gear, etc) .
    Suddenly with the new expansion several lvl 100 came back to the game, and found some good stuff at crazy prices. Then, they flooded the market with tt mats, and some of them overpricing in order to get their desired object quickly. Now,

    * CSrs, since they can spend some real coin in the game, they can make some money fast by selling unique items to others players, so they actually dont need tt60-tt70-or even tt90.
    * The poor players, since they just started playing the game, they cant get 1m or 2 m even at lvl 60 to buy ur tt mats, unless the player has no life and can play all day of course. SO the poor player go with mold geats, or 3* gear, etc.

    The result of this is that you lost ur clients because to many tt mats around and prices.
    CSrs wont buy ur tt mats, so u need to attract the poor players by lowering ur prices, or you will still heating ur pc leaving it all the day turned on with ur cat-shop.

    PS: whatever u can soloing in this game means that there will be excesive offer.
    PS2: lot of players make friends and run tt to farm their own mats.

    Enjoy

    TT green mats 80+ i have no hard time selling,plus i undercut people.


    I buy and sell herb on my store,i buy a lil higher and still undercut and make good profit.Bout a week on this test and 2 mill went to 14mill.

    Nirv the only time i run it is during x2 and i usually have 8-10 99key quest to do,i pile up on rap and canny and sell.

    Bh's since i have numerous 100+ toons i rely on the gamble or the xtc/excitement cards for profit,or the socket stones/mirages as well.And i have to say..i have been very lucky.

    Im a very patient person in what i do and how i collect my funds,yeah i could make way more a day if i choose to but i dont like to get burned out.

    I haven't set foot in TT since they took fairy boxes out of 2-3 solo mode.

    Actually selling the mats usually took a week or more if there were no shops buying them outright.

    On HT when you get sockets for BH its a pain to hold on to them until the ONE shop that buys them decides to log in.

    Same with Heaven's Tears if I'm not using them to get chi stones.

    Regular Nirvana sucks. Casters sucks because it seems random when you can actually get a squad together. Some days there are like 8 different squads doing multi runs, most days you have to trade in your tali because its going to expire due to NO ONE (or at least no one you WANT to run it with) doing it.

    Sadly one of the people that wcs for runs the has some of the saddest gear and lowest hp I've ever seen on a 100 toon. Their runs only have about a 50% success rate, which for casters is unacceptable.

    The price you get for drops on HT from NV is very flux. Right after maint, its ****. Right before maint, it almost 60% more sometimes. It really blows my mind that people still want nirvana gear, or actually pay for the mats still.

    Most people are 100 these days and can farm one of the NVs easy. There are literally thousands and thousands of cannys and raps available making it possibly the most over-saturated commodity in the entire history of the game and yet people still pay the high prices for them b:chuckle
