Hi,
I thought materials would be worth more.
Lightless cloth ( the green cloth ) was worth 60g first few days but during the weekend its crashed down to like 12g…
Is this how it is every expansion with cloth, that it becomes useless after a few days or will the prices go up again?
it will fluctuate for the next few days-weeks.
Flipping matts are great atm, but also risky AF
With the amount of people lvling, doing dungeons etc. there is a massive amounts of cloth on the AH right now, same goes for most crafting materials. Launches are usually like this
Shrouded Cloth yesterday was selling for 1,4k gold per stack of 200, so yeah, it’s worth almost nothing, on the other hand leather is pricy.
Well what is cloth actually used for?
Pretty much only tailoring, coupled with the fact that EVERYONE can farm cloth passively it’s never going to be an expensive material.
It’s not the greatest concept and i really wish they did something to address it.
Cloth dropping for everyone was fine back when first aid existed and when first aid was actually something people used.
None of that is applicable these days tbh.
Personally i think cloth should be more wider used and only tailors can MAKE cloth. A material that is used to create cloth would replace cloth drops that everyone can gather like now, but if you want that turned into cloth you better find a tailor
Hyper-spaws points, that’s what is throwing the cloth market at the moment in my opinion.
In Ardenweald there’s a point full of humanoids enemies with fast spawn timers. Gold makers are farming BoEs and they also get cloth.
Enchant the cloth then sell it
Leveling enchanting is a little expensive atm, because of the price of eternal crystals(disenchanted from epics)
Buy a load of it yourself and reset the market price. I don’t see why you’re complaining. I watched a youtuber spend 1 million to reset a price over the weekend. Made 1.8 mill profit. So he had 2.8 million for buying and reselling.
Considering the amount of materials required for legendary items, I expect it to go up again. Leather is still really expensive, with enchanted heavy callous going for 2.2k a piece on my realm, and heavy callous for 1.2k. Need 5 of each for 1 legendary item, and the drop rate is pretty horrible. I had 500 white leather drops and got 8 heavy callous. So as time passes, I think it will become more scarce as you need to quite a bit to craft rank 2 Legendaries.
I think I can craft about uhh 12 mail helmets right now (or 6 if I use my own heavy callous for enchanted). This took me about 10~12 hours of skinning, if not more
Alternatively, disenchant it!
Yeah, i’m just starting the climb to craft leggos (no idea how people can craft rank 4 already wtf how did they get all the mats within a week???) and they’re pricey…my second char i raise will be an enchanter and i’m going to funnel all my saved green/blue crafts when levelling my own LW so they can powerlevel their enchanting and enchant my hides for me. I ain’t paying nearly 10k to craft a 170 item. I’d rather take my time and get it for free and then sell them.
In LW case the mats sell for more collectively than the items you make with them more often than not.
There were 1400 heavy callous leather available yesterday at 1.2k a piece on my realm. You need 150 to reach rank 2. 150 heavy callous hide is 180k. Considering people have gathered millions and millions, especially boosting communities, yeah it’s pretty easy for them.
I don’t like to buy mats, and prefer to gather them myself, so I’m taking “a bit” longer to get it ready. I’ve spent about 600 gold on materials from the AH for cooking (way too low droprate imo), and got a few donations from the guild so I could craft 20 feasts for raiding, and nothing for leather working was bought from the AH.
There’s really no point in going Rank 4 right now, it will take you what, 6 weeks minimum before you even have enough soul ash for that? My goal is to craft R2 by the time people can actually have the soul ash to use it.
I figured as much, so these people who can craft R4 basically have been using billions of gold they’ve hoarded or, possibly these characters are “tradeskill fronts” for boosting communities looking to further increase their revenue by cornering the leggo crafting market (as this gear doesn’t drop anywhere else).
All the more reason to make it so i can do it through alts. I suspected that when it was known leggos will require a lot crafting, there will be people who try to game the market to keep themselves rich and force leggo transactions through them. Not surprised, just saddened really. At least you CAN do it through alts.
Yeah, I’m trying to arrange as much as possible within our guild so people know where to go and who to ask for what materials or crafting. This way we can try to be self sufficient and not rely on those people.
