1.6 changed the game a lot. All of the top theorycrafted builds, both magicka and stamina, now use PVP gear. Prices for these items have skyrocketed. Do you have a bunch of unused AP and need some quick cash? Here's what you can get!

If you are a gambler, try your luck at the PVP gear boxes. VR14 pieces of the Archmage set, the Morag Tong set, and the Shadow Walker set are selling for 50k - 100k gold each.

If you don't want to gamble, buy some gear from the elite vendor (250k AP a piece) and sell it on the market. The Ravaging set is 80k gold per piece. The Light of Cyrodiil rings are going for 50-80k gold as well.

The current conversion rate is 3-4 AP per 1 gold. This can be a windfall for some of the hardcore PVPers out there who get millions of AP per month. I don't think ZOS anticipated this change in player gear, but it's nice to see that PVP can actually bring in an income now.

    Except that this post tells everyone and so the market gets flooded and prices drop.

    maybe try to tell as few people as possible.

    I have eight figures worth of AP in my bank and I am waiting for the Imperial City to arrive before going on a spending spree. I am holding out hope there will be something I want to purchase inside it.

    You should have plenty of time to save up. I assume the Imperial City will be released along with the eventual F2P change (after sales of console versions drop off to close to nothing). I'm thinking early 2016.

    Amount of PVE players >>>> amount of PVP players. The demand for this stuff is so high right now, and the supply is very, very low.

    Ya. That's why I bought my 5 Ravager, 2 Tong, 2 Shadow, 2 Dreugh Kingslayer a month and a half ago. Dropping softcaps and gutting crit percentages made it necessary.

    That Ravager Set proc is nice.

    Meanwhile, all the end game PvE sets from SO etc have become garbage.

    While I welcome the change & like having strong PvP gear (though, I think it should be BoP; or atleast another, much more difficult to get & better tier should be implemented for that purpose), I wish this didn't come at the expense of those people who spent countless hours doing SO & other trials, only to get nothing out of them in the end.

    Granted, 3 pieces of Vicious is still nice. Rest is garbage (wasn't good before either though).

    I couldn't agree more, thank you for telling everyone so these outrages price gouging pieces drop in price to something a little more reasonable, say 40K/ea max, like it was pre-1.6 when I bought all the stuff that I needed because I knew in advance that the prices would go up ;)

    This items have been going for this rate since before 1.6..................... I sell my Cyrodiil's Light rings for 50k, archmage armor pieces have always been 30k+ aside from the hat, Shadow Walker rings have always been 30-50k+

    I'm confused..... Someone must not spend a lot of time standing around in Reapers March looking at the vendors :confused:

    Sell high, buy low, #1 rule of profit.

    The purple pieces aren't even that valueable. If you have Shadow Walker bands though you can make a ton of gold. You'll never find that stuff in Guild Stores so the sky is the limit.

    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    Quite, lol. But more seriously, I see no problem with PvEers spending their gold so easily.

    Even though I'm a PVE'r, I'm glad PVP has worthwhile sets now. It hurts my wallet but makes me overall very happy. For a long time PVE sets have dominated the market (warlock, aether, BOE trials gear for that one week, martial knowledge, ect ect ect) and running PVE has been worlds more profitable than PVP bc of this. PVP has been a huge drain on time and pots/food and with little reward to offset the costs.

    A lot of us in PVE are sitting on millions of gold while you guys sit on millions of AP. Seems like a strategic swap. And it's only fair to share some of that wealth with the other half of the gaming community. A little equalizing makes for happy gamers on both sides of the spectrum. Yall are killin me with these 100k morag tong pieces doe.
