The luxury vendor is too expensive,

but the implementation is more than awesome!!! First 'event' in an MMO I look forward to, and on a weekly basis. All those hot, sweaty people crammed into Cicero's, guessing at what it will be this week, roleplaying greedy merchants <sigh>.
Seriously, very neat concept.
Hopefully the luxury vendor is simply a year long exclusivity, after which items will be released in recipe form. The prices leave out the vast majority of players, which I think is a shame. I also use alot of the things I buy for building blocks, and wish there were more available. the statue bases and stuff.

✭✭✭✭✭I like that idea of them eventually turning into recipes.
As far as the price, I've found some of it to be "wait, how is that worth THAT much" and some of it to be reasonable.

Agreed. I was ok paying 100k each for the DB stained glass windows. Not so keen on 57k for the coffin. It isn't even one of the really cool, ornate coffins found throughout Tamriel.0 -

Kinda makes one wonder how the heck they decide pricing on things.

✭✭Still wondering about the different price model. It was most noticeable when one week, the statues for sale were 25K, and the next week, the remaining ones in the set were 27k. Used to be even price points - 5,000, 7,500, 10,000, etc. Now, it's 8,125? Just...why the change?
Also, is it me, or did they change the way he looks? I swear he had grey/white hair in a short ponytail before - no beard, and was wearing something other than MW clothing.0 -

Oh, thank you. I can't even picture what he looks like let alone if anything changed. Even if I were that observant, it's impossible to see him in that crush of people.0 -

Yeah, I don't have a clue what he looks like either
Although I have commented before about the pricing oddities and how it was interesting they started after the break where he didn't show up because he was broken... that I did notice Edited by Tevalaur on July 25, 2017 12:16AM┌───────────────────────────────┐Author of Sunshine Daydream's Guide to Crafting└───────────────────────────────┘Is Uncle John's band calling you?

The last two weeks have been somewhat of an anomaly. I totally agree, though, I bought 6 of the chandeliers because they are bright and cause a room to flicker like irl.

There are many times I'm sitting at 0 gold when I realise I want what he's selling that week. 1-2 hours later I have the gold.Edited by MLGProPlayer on July 26, 2017 7:50AM2 -

I just farm mats (you need to be in a good trading guild to sell them quickly though). If you're not in any trading guilds, then just run around a public dungeon killing Imperial mobs (dungeons with Imperial mobs are Vile Manse, Razaak's Wheel, and Crimson Cove).Edited by MLGProPlayer on July 26, 2017 8:43AM2 -

Yep.
If you're on PC, download this add-on (make sure to read step #8): http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info57-HarvestMapEsoheadMarkers.html
Also grab some gear that will help you sprint without tiring (such as Fiord, Darkstride, or Prisoner). You can just buy the sets for cheap from traders (any trait and quality is fine). Make sure you have a speed boost or gap closer as well (I use Rapid Maneuvers).
If you're going to grind Imperial mobs in a public dungeon, then just wear any set of Prosperous or Impenetrable gear.Edited by MLGProPlayer on July 26, 2017 1:52PM1 -

I don´t see the point were the prices leave out the vast majority of players, for it is not that hard to make few 100tsd gold a week easily, but yeah therfor you have to leave your cosy home and do something!0 -

First rule of MMOs and, well, life in general. Only a small percentage of the population can make bank.

Why? Because the amount of resources required for everyone to have the good life can't be extracted. IRL, the standard of living continually increases on average across the world, primarily due to advances in technology. In MMOs, the game company's goal is to keep people playing using time sinks. Gold in and gold out is balanced to maintain some of the time sinks.
Most people will tell you that they are able to make somewhere in the range of 10k-20k on average per hour. That would mean you need to farm gold for 15-30 hours a week to make 300k...
Luxury vendor items will run you on average 110k gold a week. Sometimes a bit less and sometimes a bit more. Then there are all those other things you need to, you know, have fun.

I work out of town a lot and cannot be bothered to drag my xbox around with me so usually if I cannot get on I get my guildmaster to buy the item then pay them back when I get back.Xbox One Na0
