What to stock up on? - Crovis - 2009-05-31
So with the Maker skill coming soon, is it a good idea to stock up on different ores?
Which one would be the best to get? Im thinking diamonds, but since APQ gives tons of them.. who knows price can not inflate so much.
What are you stocking up on? Or which is the most recomended things i buy? (ive got around 60m)

A little late on the game, eh?
I'd go for crystals and maybe adamantium. Who knows how many diamond hoarders there are now.

Every type of crystal? Also, whats their avg price (right now) ?
Yeah i kinda started late, but any profit is fine for me. I heard some people have like 5000+ diamonds in stock.... thats a huge profit if they do turn out 1m each.

Diamonds/adamantium

All the crystals are gonna rise in value, I'm mostly buying them for myself though. First priority is to make my own gear, then I'll sell remaining crystals.

Hmm so how much is each worth right now?
Im guessing :
Adam: 10k refined/1k ore
Diamond: 10k Refined/1k Ore
But what about crystals?

uhhh, diamonds are 20k/ore and 200k/ref in Khaini. They're starting to go to 30k/300k. Adamantium prices have gone up too.
Not so much on steel and mithril; those would be good ores to buy. It will take a lot of mesos to buy out the market though and create any sort of monopoly. Crystals are good to buy too, but those are much more pricey than their ore counterparts (with the exception of black crystal which is much more rare than Dark Crystal). You could also consider buying Sapphire and Garnet ores as these tend to be the more rare ores and it will be much easier to corner the market. Adamantium seems to be more rare as well.
Another ore that many people have not stocked up on would be Lidium. This ore is required to get the second level maker, and I'm sure many people would be willing to buy these ores rather than farm them themselves. If you've got the time, start hunting in Ariant.
I know of at least five diamond hoarders (including me) on Khaini. There are probably many more.

Uh dont you mean the Dark Crystal is more rare than the Black Crystal?

Nope. Black is more rare than Dark. If you go through the FM, you will see hundreds upon hundreds of dark crystal ores, but very few black crystals. Of course that might be because dark crystals have higher utility than black crystals since dark is used for the job advance.

Do you have any expectation of the prices of these ores after the patch?
Im guessing Diamond will probably be like 1m+, same with adamantium?

In Bera there's waaay more Black Crystals than Dark and the prices reflect that.

I plan on grading everything, selling the High Grade stuff, and using the Mid Grade for myself. You know those stat whores will gobble up the High Grade like candy. I'll save a few for myself though.

Other way around... every Balanced Fury is 100 Black Crystal and some people get 12-15 sets, and I believe some of the other ones (Onyx Blade) require 40-50 Black Crystal too. The TCG/Ninja forging use tons of certain jewels. At 200-250k refined, Black Crystal prices drive B. Fury prices - they're only about 25-30mil each.
Dark Crystal is still relatively expensive, because they're rarer. But generally you only ever need 1-2 of them (3rd job and that one Alcaster quest), not the hundreds and hundreds of Black Crystal.

Probably less than 5% of whole GMS will check this thread. More like less than 1%. :l
But anyways, last question. Is there some FM where most people sell their ores? Cause in entrance, 30min=4 diamond ores...
Ill just try harder, but thanks for all the help
Really need this extra cash

You're buying in entrance? No wonder you only got four ores. facepalm.jpg

So Black Crystals are going to be big?
I guess i made a good call buying 1000 of them refined 2 months ago then ._.
What to stock up on? - VladTheLvr - 2009-05-31
I want to know if certain ores will become rarer drops or if they will become more common when maker comes out. I just hope that everything needed to make skills with maker drops.

Yeah my mistake xD
Just bought out a shop (99 diamonds 30k each, 40 Wis Crystals 200k each and 22 Adams 20k each)
I used like 10m*, hope it was worth it.
EDIT:
Asked many questions, but heres the last one xD:
Will crystals really be worth more?
Seems wierd that most shops dont have them buyed out?

This is a "some time in the future" thing, other versions have it but it hasn't even been announced for Global yet. If you need quick money this isn't the way to get it. So most people won't invest in it.
