Ideas on How to Use the Market

Troy Christensen 21 Mar 2013 20:07

I would definitely like to hear ideas on how to use the game's marketplace to buy and sell items by other players. Many other MMOs have little mods that create a database of item costs, availability, and volatility of the market. I am unsure of Vanguard ever developed such a mod, but even ideas on how to check pricing or some kind of guide to determine a fair price to pay for all items in the game would be very useful.

I would very much like to hear any tidbits, secrets, tips, or resources for making the market work?

You are correct that there hasn't been a mod created to use for the exchange. In my experience, I checked the exchange often for the cost of the items I was looking for. Then I would determine what I would pay for it. As far as selling items it just depends. If its something I am trying to get rid of for bag space I'll place it on the exchange for the lowest price (undercutting by 10 silver/copper, etc.) if it's a low level item I keep the price low so lowbies can afford it. As far as materials (hides, bolts, timber, stone, etc.) I scan the exchange and get a good idea of what those materials are selling for. I just kinda feel my way. May not be the best way but it is what it is.
