2000 Gold for a Tabard ?

Phantax

Did anybody else notice in the new video that the vendor price for the new tabards was 2000g !
That's more than the price of some 'decent' gear pieces. I'd have thought no more than 750g tops?
(All I can say is they had better be damn good tailoring for 2000g....lol)

Tbh..... 2000g is...... nothing, not even noticable, its dust! ^^

Speak for yourself. I've been saving for a basic horse forever!

I agree, 2000g is a lot for a new player on their first character trying to save up for a horse.

Iorail

2,000g? Look again, it was 4,000g....



Unless I'm missing something here?

They should cost gold to make, but guild members shouldn't have to buy them. The costs should be on the guildmaster's side. "Support for your guild, but only if you have enough coin."

Tabards aren't for "new" players. They're for guilds and guildie identification. So if 2000g is a stretch for you, find a good guild. Most will probably offer tabards comped for actual people who are in said guilds and participate.

NO, that's the guild masters screen for making the tabard AFAIK.
I'm referring to the vendor selling the tabard, price was 2000g !

Phantax

@Lorail its at 32 secs into the video !

Well it seems the depending on how detailed you want your tabard to be it will change in price.

See there "style 1000 gold" So colors etc will all decide your price, I like that.

2000g is pocket change.

If you read the PTS patch notes, you would also notice that guilds will now have the option to deposit gold in their guild bank and restrict withdrawal permissions for said gold. So in essence, higher lvl members could donate money to be used for buying tabards for new recruits, bidding on a trading outpost, and other useful things.

To a higher leveled player, 2k is nothing. To a generous guild, 2k is nothing.

I wouldn't worry.

I got into a PTS guild and they where making Tabbards, 5,000 to make the Tabbard and 2,000 to buy it from the guild store. rEally they are not that much and gives another small gold sink. Once you buy a horse and all bank and backpack upgrades there is not much to spend money on.

What level are you? I got my horse at level 8 just from questing.

2k gold isn't much, go sell some guy who farms motifs all day 15 columbine. Or don't buy one in protest. My VR12 has over 100k sitting around after buying a 40k horse and maxing bag and bank slots, and I am poor. I know people who had millions of gold the first month from motif farming when it was easy, those who don't mind the game playing them.

2k isn't really a significant figure, and the game doesn't have any cash sinks other than repairs.

Renuo

Well that's not too hard to get for something really awesome!

Rosveen

It seems okay to me. 2000 g isn't a lot unless you're a brand new player, but then you don't really need a tabard. If you're alone, that is - if you have friends already playing the game, I'm sure they'll lend or simply give you money for one,

You got some phat pockets bro! Gratz.

Care to help out a guy with 17..er...11 starving kids?

BBSooner

While I'm fine with the price I don't really get why it's not just 1 gold. It's a non - combat piece of equipment.

Auralia

I wouldn't pay 2000 gold for a tabard, Iam broke after upgrading my bank, I only have 5k left.

You might consider that a lot of new players aren't gold/motif farming in the first month when it was easy.

And that some of those older/original players are moving on.

The conclusion being that the original gold/motif farmer class who were doing it in the first month when it was easy can't get bigger than it is, but can get smaller as players bail, but new players who didn't do that in the first month are increasing.....

GreySix

Yeah, I'm still getting over the gold-sink that horses are.

Obscure

Gold, bah! It's basically a short hand for "respec-and-reapair-juice".

Got over 100k of it just laying around gathering dust and I have not once gone out of my way to obtain any of it. I've not sold a single thing to another player, and have for the large part ignored any player economy. To people who actually try to make money, I can see 2k being worth even less to them than it is to me, and I put more value on water (literally cloud mist is more valuable to me than my gold and I find that stuff all over the place).

Innocente

Tabards? Seriously? This is what the developers deem to be important for the health and future of the game? Tabards.

Doesn't have anything to do with Motiff's.

Each stack of mats sells for 400 gold. It is easy enough, during your early level questing to gather iron and jute and then either vendor it for a fast 400g, refine it with the hopes that you will get tempers, or sell the stack to other users for 500+ gold.

With a few hours of playing, you should be well on your way to your first horse, or that Guild Tabard when it is released.

NerfEverything

Minimum 10 people required for a guild. That is 200g each. That is nothing, virtually nothing. 5 minutes of questing at level 10 will make you 200g easy.

PBpsy

I only hope they do not take an inventory space.
Lol who am I kidding?

Yeah, I've been playing since early release and still cant afford a horse.

Then again, I'm no mat farmer nor accomplished at selling found or made gear to any guild types.

I think the problem here is the cost of a basic horse. Once you get it, you don't need that much money unless you are respeccing repeatedly (or dying way too much).

for a one time item.....meh not really all that much, a little more than a cost of repair

Yes because the next content patch will only involve adding tabards.........

one time? Isn't that going to be per guild? That's then 10k ? And each time you switch guilds that's another 2k !
(I may be wrong there though) But I can't see a one-tabard-fits-all system working?



Think we need 'official' input on that bit !
