Default For the love of the tunnel

Can you people PLEASE understand that the wiki prices are not what items are selling for. They are a guideline of asking prices and are highly manipulated by Wrin / Caros and a few others. Do yourself a favor, and come to forums and search the item your selling and get an avg of actual asking prices. I personally try to keep my prices more than fair and pass along my savings to others but if yall keep giving in and believing these wiki prices, market is gonna crash worse than it is.

Rant over, Flame away do whatever ya gotta do but i had to put this out there.

-Best Regards

Wait, Eyepatch of the Shadows isn't worth 15k and Narandi's Lance isn't worth 50k?

Yeah people only claim wiki average price when it is in their interest, wiki shows lower price etc.

What they don't know is that wiki prices are easily manipulable. People upload their log files, the wiki parses the logs for /auc item and prices.

All a person has to do to screw up the wiki prices is just alter their own log files and upload to wiki.

wiki prices are about 50% on par with EC. Some way high, some way low etc.

Learn to haggle, and don't haggle over pennies. if you are broke on EQ, you have bigger problems.

Never, I buy items for 60-85% market value. I then ask going rates and 9/10 times accept offers under said going rate.

Don't tell me you've never been in the newbies shoes where you have to claw and scrape by with cloth armor and rusty weapons, only able to upgrade to a measly budget weapon and banded?

That said, maybe that means I can get a Hierophant's Cloak on the cheap.

No. making money in EQ is easy. you just have to know what to farm at your current level. Like i said, being broke in EQ is a you problem. Just the same as being broke IRL is also a you problem.

Nice blanket statement...
In theory it is, but most of the time and for some odd reason you will often find some other greedy bastards camping said cash cows when you get there. Unless you're a FDing douche who'll repeatedly train guys at the camp you want so much until they leave
