Which is what I was pointing out. Don't sell in server for small profits, sell only for the larger profits, or when you accumulate so much NX (for me it's around 10K) that you feel like using or converting it.Good luck.You rarely have to scour FM at all, only when you need help determining prices (if they have deflated/inflated) or if you're just looking for a conversion factor. Also, although every server has different economies, their NX:meso ratio is pretty definite, and you have to figure out what's best to use for conversions. For Scania, I find it pretty efficient to use 8atk wgs for conversion, while on other servers it may be different.

Anyways, on topicNot that bad, but not that great either. A decent 3K profit.

the ratio in khaini is 1:4 at the lowest, or 1:5, which is about average. Some may even buy as high as 1:6 or so, if they are desperate. 1:5 is about the average though. Different economies means value of each meso is different, in terms of what it can buy. MTS makes the NX stabilize to a certain value, at least as far as the items that can be bought in mts. While for the most part, it is a good idea to MTS to profit as far as NX goes, as you do, you realize too that some things are cheaper in other servers then yours, and go into mts for less NX than would be the conversion. For example, in khaini i just found out, glowing whips rarely sell for more then 14mil, but in mts sell for 4k or so(variable upon the stats). Buying 4k nx in khaini would cost 16-20mil, so already you've done something worthwhile. I still dont spend enough time in MTS to figure out too much more, but i am sure there are scrolls or items that would cost net me profit by buying and selling in fm, then turning around and buying things like glowing whips, and selling those in MTS. I mean, if NX:meso ratio was same across servers, why do you have individuals who utilize cross server merchanting?
