Characters Name: While you're making your character, keep in mind that the name of it is important. You're going to want make a name that seems natural (The point is don't call it something like "Mule2" or "Bank1"). Don't make it too unique, you don't want people remembering it very well. #2 Research Researching the Trader and Making a database: You will want to scan the Trader for a few days before you start using this strategy. When I'm playing the game I usually scan the Trader about four times a day. On days when I don't play the game I try my best to scan two times, once in the morning and once at night. If you just scan the Trader once then go off of those stats, you will lose A LOT of money. So give yourself a little bit of time to build a database of items listed. #3 Purchase the Good Deals Now you will go back and buy out all of the good deals that you found. Use your head and use the information I give you inside of this section to pick which items are good buys. #4 Repost in the Trader After you find buy the items you have discovered that sell well, go ahead and repost them for a higher price. Try this out with lower priced items first to build your gold savings. After you have enough gold to deal with blues and gather even more gold, start with purples. You can have as many items being posted on the Trader as you want. #5 Go Back To Step One The more you do this the more gold you will get. The more gold you get the more runescape gold you can make because you have more gold to buy more items to resell. Buying Tips Weekend Mornings This is a secret that is used by the Chinese to make huge amounts of gold fast. During this time, most active players have time to log into their accounts and play. During the weekend nights, people are doing things with guilds. When their weekend is about to end they take a stroll to the Trader and put up all their new items they found over the weekend. Because this is the time that most people play, this is also the time that the Trader will be swamped with new items. Now's a GREAT time to buy things that people want to make a quick sale of. They want their item sold because they might not have time to play until next weekend. Check the Channel for Items The channel is where I've found some of my best buys. People post their item in the channel because they want it sold right there and then! You can take advantage of these sellers because they're in a hurry to sell their item. Always let them start the price, but if you suspend that their item is worth a lot, check the Trader to see if there's already one in there. If there is and its expensive, buy the one from the channel so that you can make a profit. This is a great place to pick up some deals also! Epics and Blues These are the last items you should go for. What I mean is that once you have horded enough gold to be able to take losses, then you can start dealing with blues and epics. These items WILL always sell. It might take a while, but because this is AoC and not WoW, your item won't expire from the Trader! Try to buy all the lower level blues and epics because people that get to level 80 always want to start new characters. These people will almost always make their new characters on the same server because they have their main character to help their new one. These are the people that you're trying to sell to. They have gold saved in their main characters and will buy the items they want for their new character. Items That Always Sell Well This is a list that I have tested and know works: - Twink Items - Leveling Items - Gem's for Gem Cutting - Raid Items - Consumable Materials - Purples - Blues Watch for the "typo" This is a sneaky strategy... People sometimes forget to type a "0" when their in a hurry to sell their item. I've seen some crazy prices on great items... I felt bad for the people making the mistakes but if YOU don't buy the item someone else will... Remember that! Selling Tips Sell When It's Very Busy We all know Friday is the busiest day of Age of Conan. This is when everyone starts selling items that they have amassed during the week but haven't had time to go to the Trader. This is also when everyone is undercutting each other! This is a natural thing that will happen in every economy. People flood the market and prices go down. Good for you!! The Psychology an AoC Buyer Notice how almost every item being sold at every store always ends with a "99". This can be a chocolate bar for .99 cents or gum for .49 cents, the point is that the brain of the buyer always sees the first number. This makes it seem as if it's being sold at a discount! Their brains want the item to be cheap to the believe it! Always sell your items for .95 - .99 at the end. Here's an example: 19g 99s. This really does work wonders! People will feel less guilty for buying an expensive item because its prices in a lower bracket even though its only by a few silver! Stack Your Items (When a patch that fixes the stacking glitch comes out, right now the trader doesn't show the quantity, so only sell one at a time until then) WARNING: DO NOT STACK ANY ITEMS IN THE TRADER RIGHT NOW. AS OF JUNE 6, 2008 THE TRADER DOES NOT SHOW THE BUYER THE QUANTITY OF THE ITEM BEING SOLD. WHICH MEANS THAT SOMEONE CAN BE SELLING 30 SILKS FOR 1G AND IT JUST SHOWS 1 SILK FOR 1G?
