I'm not sure if your conspiracy theory is accurate or not, but I would suggest, as you do, not to buy the potions until demand has died down. Then again if you have millions . . . why not

You really should be blaming the developers and not the players. This situation was created by their design choice, which is a choice obviously intended to convince players to use the cash shop to get their champion points faster versus obtaining a recipe that everyone knows will be essentially impossible to obtain unless you're super rich.

Well duh. But honestly, if someone has that much money to spend on Ambrosia, they aren't naive newcomers not knowing the price of anything; they're people who worked their assess off farming and selling stuff. I don't know what's happening in PvP, but it doesn't matter, the buffs are soon going away for good.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. People are choosing to spend large amounts of money to gather together raw materials that they want to resell to willing people at a profit. My guild is doing the exact same thing as far as sharing parts of the recipe to help get the potions flowing earlier. That's just smart teamwork there.

There's not much you can do to hurry up the speed at which you get the different parts outside of just doing lots of writs across alts. Either join the market or don't. It's your choice, there's lots of opportunities to earn money all around.

Yesterday morning I made myself the recipy.

To do this I had to clear my bounty or almost a million and do a few provisioner writs and buy 4 recipy parts. Hardly onerous.

I think I had the entire market to myself for most of the day.

Early on potions were selling at 150k EACH. Then down to 75k then down to 45k

At one point, when I was buying up fish roe I was laughing, the people buying the roe, pushing the prices up cant use the stuff. Only I can!!!

It helped that I had previosuly failed in an attempt to get master angler, but really couldnt be bothered ot skin the 4-5000 fish i had in the bank.

Anyway, at a basic outlay of around 1.5 million I came out with about 6-7 million profit. Ive also got around 2 weeks of 50% buff potions.


None of this was done with anyones help, none of it was hard. How was this done?

• Basic, do stuff for yourself. You can spend time to make characters that can do the crafting writs. You can spend time making cash to give yourself a float
• Interact with humans (this is a MMORPG after all)
• Buy and sell recipy parts (we are talking about a trade good)
• Give stuff away to people who helped, or where just cool that I met. Towards the afternoon, once I had made my investment back, I was basically making potions for people from their raw materials for free. My aim is never to scam people. I just like the numbers getting higher.

Having done all this, all I can say is that the OP is one of the type of people I have little time for, rather than doing things for themselves, they rather slap down those doing it

Anyone who knows me on the EU EP servers knows that I am rich, but also knows that I never accept payment for crafting, and generally dont take the raw materials either.

I find the OP's post both offensive and sadly telling of what happens when the "i want it now!!" come up against "I am going to do it now"

I was wondering why the campaigns tipped in the last 2 days, guess this is as plausible an answer as any... you forgot to mention the Illuminati *queue's X-Files theme song*

Campains tipped because I was buying fish roe from yellows and blues and giving potions to reds.

All the Smurf n Nana defenders were fishing for me while we took our keeps and had ambrosia partys in the sun

Most intelligent and well thought out comment I've read in ages.

I agree completely.

You cannot "corner the market" for anything in this game.

It is quite possible on some items (e.g. legendary mats), and doesn't even require a lot of money. But it requires a lot of time and dedication, with little benefit, as most people just won't buy overpriced stuff.
