Default What are the best items to convert dkp to plat?

Is there a master list anywhere that shows the average values for all high end droppables?
If you were wanting to convert dkp into plat what are the best ratio items to consider?
Considering time to sell, some items move faster than others.
Maybe best to dump it all on one big item or several smaller items?
Just looking to get some plat built up before blue green merge.

Each item is valued differently in different guilds. The value is generally based on the supply/demand at the time. So there isn't going to be a single sheet you can reference. You need to look at the DKP values for the specific guild you are in.

If you are in the biggest raiding guild, you could probably get an Amulet of Necropotence for cheaper than if you were in a smaller guild. In a smaller guild, that item is actually a pretty big piece because their range of killable targets is more limited.

Also, you probably aren't going to be getting the best of the best loot to sell, simply due to demand. For example, you probably aren't going to get Flayed Barbarian Skin Leggings. Not only are those expensive DKP wise, but many people bidding on them want to use them. So you will probably be spending more DKP on it than average. The guild may also prevent you from selling loot that good, because it incentivizes people to bid to sell, rather than to use.

That merge may not happen for years, if ever; you might be waiting quite a long time.

However, I will note that (like the Amulet DSM mentioned) Zlandicar Hearts are another popular item.

It just depends on how much DKP you have vs others, what the DKP system of the guild is, etc. Sometimes you pick up a screaming bargain because your competition is saving DKP for a different big purchase. The wiki is (relatively) accurate on most items so you can use that as a gauge, typically most expensive items are easier to sell / have more demand than cheaper ones. For example, a Z Heart will be easier to sell than an Eye of Nirandi.

Selling a bunch of 50-200k items is gonna take a while. 500-1000k items will likely be less dkp efficient but also less overall transactions.

I think something middle of the road like Helmet of Rallos Zek might be the sweet spot.

This and most players are lazy/warm-bodies. DKP is much easier to warm-body accumulate than soloing or small-grouping to make plat overall. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd rather be a lazy / warm body (I play games to relax from the stress of having a real life), than a cheeto dust covered terminally online NEET poopsocking spawns and "making plays".

There is a middle ground. Not everyone has the capacity to be a leader / playmaker whos going to go out there and consistently get yellow text.

Anyone currently classified as a lazy warm body only has to be willing to log on cleric bots and follow the syntax for the CH chain to go from nearly useless to a legitimate contributor on the overwhelming majority of raid targets. You can literally copy your character and ui files, rename them from (yourchar) to (botname) and viola, you're no longer druid #9 waiting for that next potg request.

You can still log on as you see fit, rock a < 5% RA, and accumulate enough dkp to get some pretty sweet loot here and there.

Being comfortable piloting cleric bots as a bare minimum is sometimes a make or break, especially on unslowables and vulak with low numbers.

Agreed. Big guilds have a bot army, so you just need to be willing to learn and play the bot classes. Anybody who can do that is going to be leagues ahead of the people who just log in to their main regardless of what classes are needed and soak DKP.
