P2W in pvp? high prices

Hello,
As far as I understand, I need like 400k gold to enchant all gear, and then I need to craft 2 pvp conquest items (I guess it will cost a lot as well), to not be behind the people who just buy/sell two tokens.
Is it normal, to spend at least half million gold, just to not get behind that much in pvp?

You do not need to enchant honor gear since you will replace it

also note for enchant we are in pre season, there’s extremely rare epic items available, so once season start with M+ raid etc the price of “epic enchant” will go lower.

It is also the start of the season, where stock are low, it is a good opportunity to make gold.

if you PvP only there’s a 45 seconds short how to convert your PvP currency into gold : https://youtube.com/shorts/8hJj1xD_lbk?si=jfd1WNMjytiw5TC0

Else farm gold between queues, it work good to get gold and occupie while waiting :smile:

Where are you getting these prices from? i enchanted all my stuff including the 2 BiS enchants and paid like 60k in total. You can go even cheaper and not buy rank 3 everywhere since it’s just honor gear that you’re gonna replace with conquest gear.

Realistically, you don’t even need enchants to perform well at the game. If you ignore speed enchants, they literally just change about 0.5 - 1 % of damage if stacked.

Last time I’ve checked enchant prices some of the enchants were very expensive, even the lower quality ones. Hopefully they get cheaper in a few days.
As far as I understand, You can get like 2 conquest items first week + 2 crafted conquest items, rest should be world pvp blood token gear.
Based on my experience (early access people running full crafted pvp gear for 2-300k gold) , many people will just spend all the gold on these, and get ahead of the others.
I understand, just get good, and it doesn’t matter :stuck_out_tongue: , but in reality You will face these people day one in arena.

While it is true that you don’t need them, the impact is way higher. The weapon enchants proc for 5-10% of my total damage while also giving me main stat, increasing the dmg even further. The legs and chest enchants also provide big stat boosts

The honor gear is way better and farmed very fast, they are just wasting their gold.
It’s really no big deal at all. Get your conq and world pvp items, slap expensive enchants only on these (or rank 2) and you will be without any disadvantage

The key being “it procs”, check the uptime. You’re a warrior, you don’t kill in setups anyway, if you were a rogue, it could be used as a valid argument. It’s not a reliable way of boosting damage, it’s a random stat stick.

It’s 5% of my dmg with a low amount of procs, sometimes i’m lucky and it rises to around 10%. Also depends on if i get to cleave or not but in the skirmishes i’ve queued the last few days it averaged on about 6%. That is without the main stat it also provides. Sure some games are short/long but it is a significant dmg increase. Having that enchant on both weapons does increase the dmg at least as much as the random proc offensive trinket

Having the BiS weapon enchant day one when we don’t even have the weapon to enchant it with is not, and will never be, what prevents anybody from getting 1800 rating or whatever eventually in a season.

you can throw 100k into your warband bank, make a lvl 1 on a high pop realm and go buy it there for 1/4th the price

AH is region wide and has been for a while.

for reagents and stuff. you could also mail gold cross realm, but its only with the warbank you can transfer items like enchants, weapons, patterns, toys, mounts and so on cross realm. now you can mail a lvl 1 gold and use it to buy things like patterns or BoE epics and then throw them into the warbank and send them back to your main on another realm.

You told him:

Which does not work, because he wants to buy the enchant and these are region wide. I answered that, and nothing else. No need to slither around the first message and begin a debate over the armor that you could buy and resell while losing a % of gold in transfer to make some small benefit and whatnot so you can maybe gain 2k gold since everyone has already tried that the second Warbanks started working, because that’s besides the point. The enchant won’t be bought cheaper elsewhere, that’s all.

In clearer terms it means no you were wrong, it doesn’t work with enchants.

lmaooo take your meds

Everytime anyone answers anything wrong you post on these forums it’s always some “no but let me twist my words and keep talking”. Sometimes, you’re wrong, it’s not the end of the world and no one resents you for it. Just don’t answer or say yes, and speak of something else when it is the case instead of always trying to argue around the first - and incorrect - statement.

It’s exhausting.

you’ve conjured this phantom in your mind and i’m glad you’re having fun fighting against it, but as i previously said - take your meds. probably carb crash hitting you as well, and thats why you’re lashing out and seeing hearing slithering noises.

get well soon.

I always love it when the only responses people have left are blind attempts at insults.

famously shadenox, known for never insulting anyone oh whats this

squints

an entire paragraph where you conjure a phantom of some reseller snake because i tried to help a guy save some gold, and then give that phantom my face

what does the above paragraph read as, in your brain?

By telling him to do something that cannot be done, mmh. With friends like you, who needs enemies ?

normal human response: “you can’t do that. enchants are part of the region wide auction house, like reagents are.”

shadenox response:

do you see why you might be mistaken for someone who is not well?

this how you talk to them?
