prices so far are only at 6200 or so, which just isn't profitable enough really. I would need to sell 5000 ce to get enough profit to buy 100 ce when prices equalize at the usual 5800-5900 range. that's 50 risky transactions for a measly 100 ce. not really worth it at this point. watching though


update: just sold 2000ce for 6350+ per 100ce.  My income was @135,000 on it and I will be able to buy an extra 250ce when I replace my original 2000, assuming prices level at 5950 next week.

I'd say wait a few more hours til the event starts, if you can. Would have been a lot better if I'd had time to stock up, but I'm still a hopeless noob, and thus, poor.

[hemmingjay]

if anyone has a 4 star sword for sale please let me know.

sold more ce, 6500 price point, then bought more 30 mins later at 6300ish. volatile right now.

edit: don't think i'll be back on tonight, but i put some sell orders up just below 7000, and one at 7500 just to see.

Jeeeeeeez the Ironclaw Munitions factory is brutal. Admittantly me and a buddy tried it as basically our first venture into tier 2 but jeez. We'll be trying the jelly king next, maybe we'll actually get to the boss fight.

[Seriyu]

PERHAPS!

I'll edit this post when I know for sure, and also when I know what time roughly we're doin it, because we play late in the night. (in US time zones)

EDIT: You know what, I'll just PM you and avoid cloggin this thread up.

Unless someone's still carrying around an unbound sword from several patches ago, the only way that you can get a 4* sword for sale is heating up a level 3 sword (which you can buy) to level 5, buying the 4* recipe and crafting it yourself.

[hemmingjay]

thanks Alstar. Found 1 but was going for 1.2 million.

[Seriyu]

Next patch will have an unbinding merchant along with a UV "generator".

Lemme find the exact quote, hang on.

EDIT: I'll just link to the website.

OH SHI---

Spoiler: But I won! (click to show/hide)

They can't fight back at that angle. Occasionally one devilite would make it through the force-field being squeezed by the others. All of them gathered near the force-field, when I finally entered it's almost empty.

Shhhhh! Don't tell the Three Rings about this exploit!

[hemmingjay]

definitely gonna use that one, thanks

[kcwong]

The force-field is not always generated though.

so I took advantage of the increased demand for CE and sold enough over the weekend that my profits can buy me 2200(22 x 100) CE at 5900-6000 when prices drop. I think I am enjoying playing the market more than the game, which was already a lot.

Joined a full party to T2 to night. I forgot to check gear and entered with Cutter and Blaster. Would have used Tempered Calibur instead.

It's 3 guys with wolver coat and cap. They used a hot edge, vile striker and tempered calibur. They didn't use other weapons much, except one guy with an autogun.

They attacked rather recklessly... died a few times on the way down. And then there was a danger room. They decided to enter, so I followed. It was a fire-themed room with oilers... and no surprise here, we all died plenty of times, reviving with HP only.

At one point I was the only one left... I cleared the blocks surrounding the arena, then ran and shoot. I was at one point killed all but the lichen boss, but then a lot of red cubes and oiler spawned. I didn't know if that's the boss' power or part of the waves.

When I was able I fetched a heart and revived them.

Then it went downhill again... they wouldn't stay a group and run and shoot, and instead went melee again. Enemies were drawn into different directions blocking my path many times. I died and was revived with energy. While laying on the ground they revived with energy and I told them how to kite (they were melee'ing the crowd and shooting with autogun).

When I finally killed all but the boss, they revived with energy again and finished the fight.

Then I switched to Snarble (they said there'll be wolvers and constructs ahead), and we did one more level (poison, construct + wolver), then they ran out of energy. I went on alone in an Auora level. I blasted some jellys, but died when I was in a long, narrow room, on a group button, and 4 wolvers and 3 lumbers spawned. I didn't even have a chance to run.

I can almost make it through T2 now... when CE price drops further (now 6100), I'll craft dusker coat and elemental hood, followed by horned owlite and master blaster.

It's because when lichens join together, they no longer count towards the enemies in a wave. So if you kill everything except a joined lichen, you'll spawn the next wave. This can get ugly if you've left enough lichens around, since you could well get a couple of boss-level lichens going.

You get a similar thing with the wolvers in the goblin/wolver danger rooms. For whatever reason, it's only the goblins that count, so if you only kill the goblins, you'll eventually be spammed with waves and waves of wolvers.

[Darkmere]

Keep in mind, reviving with energy is a poor economic choice. After 1 revive in T2, the next is 10 energy, which is worth an entire level. Don't revive more than once, it's wasteful, especially with CE. I'd recommend trying to join a guild, pub games were driving me mad.
