    Thumbs up Hunzzz Guide to Merching!!!

    Many of you have suggested that i should make a Merchant Guide..so here it is!

    as you may know Evolt has a guide to merchanting aswell but may be a bit too *proffessional* for people that are just starting, so im going to make one thats simple, easy to understand and most importantly.. straight forward so here goes...

    First thing: Have atleast 50k starting money (most people should be able to accumulate enough)
    Secondly: A key note when trying to get rich is.. DONT SPEND YOUR EARNING RIGHT AFTER YOU COLLECT!
    keep in stash, good idea to put every 100k earnings in stash right after you collect, this way you wont be tempted in spending it all

    Third /this is where the real merchanting begins: Know your items! try to memorize and learn off by heart, as many pinks and rares in game as you can as this helps you search for items in cs

    basic stuff to look for while searching cs:

    *do NOT attempt these leveled WEAPONS as they have too small a margin to make a profit*
    Level 37 AO pinks* usually go for a good amount when it comes to merching, helms if under 10k then buy and re sale for about 1k under the lowest in cs.

    level 39 pink armors helms and shields: under 10k buy and resell 1k under lowest (excluding wings)*

    level 40 pink armors helms and shields: helms if under 20k buy and resell 1k under lowest/ armors under 15k. shields: eye: under 15k buy and re sell around 24800, wings: under 8k buy and place 1k under lowest: pharoah shields: under 10k buy and place 1k under lowest.*

    level 41 pink armors helms and shields: helms under 10k buy and re sell around 18800-24800, shields under 10k buy and re sell around 18800-24800, armors under 10k buy and resell around 18800-24800.*

    level 43 pink armors and helms and shields: armors under 8k buy and resell 12800-18800, helms under 8k same as armours. shields same as armors EXCLUDING wings.*


    those are basic ao items that work mostly all the time.

    now for Scaled AO3 items, they usually go for quiet a bit:

    level *47* pinks:

    /Nightmare staff under 15k buy and re sell 22-28k

    Those only work sometimes but keep checking CS every couple mins to snatch the best, keep in mind there are many other merchers who are watching cs constantly.

    Hooch (dex): under 20k buy and re sell 30-40k

    Also, another tip, best to underprice items a fair amount, that way they SELL instead of being undercut by others

    This is only scratching the surface of Merching in Arterra, for more questions and queries please do not hesitate to post them below! as this is my first guide it would help a lot if you comment what you thought and if it helped!!!
    thanks for your time and HAPPY MERCHING!!!

    in time yes, there is always a market for those type of gear, everyday there are tons of new players getting level 50 dieing to get their hands on some high quality gear so i believe yes.

    Great guide!

    Omg hunz Ty! But some of this I already knew! My friend and merchant Mechr taught me how to merchant some items! I know you didnt give all your tricks hehe. Im prob gonna get back into merchanting later...I guess I was pretty good at it...I made a bunch...But I never could tell an exact amount of how much I had because I always had something bought and ready to sell....I was gonna make a guide to 1 slot merchanting but never got to it....

    EDIT: I just read through some of those items again....But those demon claws...they dont work. I bought 1 for a twink because It was cheap (30k) and price rose to 100k. Then I found another for 38k. And now I cant get rid of them. Ive had them for a while now...Ive tried hopelessly underpricing them...its too hard....
