Yes I know there are merching guides in the guide suggestion but none of them say what items can make decent profit.

Talked to a guy today who apparently earned 12M; im finding hard to believe but I have 70k and I am really wanting to make some good money out of trading, I got inspired by players such as Windturbine, Htiek and some more.

Finally my question is: What items can you make decent profit with baring in mind have 70k?

Thanks,
Crem.

Crates- always farm for em'. If you see a pattern of crates going to rise, don't hesitate to buy a few and resell em.

Sure crates... when something good get out of it.

Always check for good opportunies in auction. Made the best cash from people price mistake or too low price.

Crates just hate me lol.

Oh. And ive specialized in low lvl 6-12.

ok so my suggestion is elite gold chests, they havent dissapointed me yet in any season and they bring much bigger profits than crates usually do (pure merching no farm)

buy an elite gold war chest for cheap when theyre not in demand and sell for alot more when a new item is introduced.

thats what i still do sometimes for pots gold even tho i usually only trade mythics.

Crates are good just because they drop far more often than chests, and they carry over to the next expansion. I run a mix of both, and of course merch when I see a good deal. Merching can be stressful, I've held items for weeks trying to get that right price.

Merching is ALL about timing! If someone is trying to lower your price, politely say "no." and walk away. Just wait for the right time to get the highest profit you can out of your item, so don't be impatient or else you will end up selling for a much lower price then you intended and will have made no profit.

I have a basic merching guide in guides section, check that out. Also check out the other merching guides.

If you want you can read PL merching guides too as they have same principles/rules.

Personally, I have made 500-600k credits already and I just barely started playing.

What I do is merch crates. You may not think it's a lot, but the 1-2k profit per crate adds up fast considering they are in high demand and always wanted.

Where can you find crates???? I've gotten Loot Reroll elixir, went to Km3, and only got 3 crates :( It actually wasn't just the Luck elixir, it was a whole elixir combo from Klaas for an hour. In about an hour, I only got 3 crates. Then I tried again like yesterday or something, 30 minute luck elixir no crates. And also people said Jarl is good. So is that normal Jarl or elite?

Normal jarl works fine. KM3 is also good, sometimes you get unlucky and only get a few, but most of the time I see a crate at least 1 out of 3 runs.

As many have alluded to, high demand items, where there is a lot of inventory turnover is the key to success.

Items such as Incandescent Blades at level 30 can yield a consistent 3-4k per sale, provided you can find them at a discount - which you will because there are so many people opening crates.

Then, at least from my experience, build up your inventory at the beginning of the week (Monday and Tuesday) and sell over the weekend (Friday afternoon to Sunday night). Selling on the weekend typically will bring more revenue because in-demand items usually see a 10-20% increase in price because there are more players buying (and therefore more demand and less supply).

The hardest part of all is to stay on top of mainstream pricing for in-demand items, and this comes mainly from experience in watching the fluctuations in prices. The other difficult part is having the discipline to NOT splurge on yourself because you find an item you like

nobody is going to tell you their money making merch only items dude. that's like saying, here take the money out of my mouth.

study the auction house and figure it out yourself.

I meant, what items are give pretty decent profit. And if you say noone is going to tell me, what are people doing?

That's like asking a stock broker which stocks give the best return on their investment. It changes constantly and the only way to keep up with it is to watch the auction house daily and figure it out, because by the time someone tells you the information may be old and no longer valid.

Exactly. Also its still a gamble especially for someone with low bankroll. U take chance that the cheap item will sell for ur higher price and then bam! Someone was waiting for u to list so they can undercut u. Then it expires and u lose ur high $$$for list fee lol.

U really gotta start low and get a feel and hen go up from there.

I ve only made 1.5mill sonce starting back in march cause i go the safe route with reselling gear. Sometimes i only make 1kthe profit but whatever. With work i barely had tome to lvl my two maons to lvl30. Merching a couple minutes every couple hours has kept me into the game sonce farming is impossible if i wanna stay under boss radar haha.

I farmed normal Jarl, got 6 Locked Crates in around 1 hour of farming (total time of me farming done on different days), 66k now. :)
Fyi, all I did was farm, gotta start some merching soon though.
