I made most of my gold merching, which is sad considering my plat history is €3k+

Ah, merching is just one of my way to getting rich..
I don't really rich by gold.
I'd like to collect unique items and playing good, that's my perspective about rich ;)

I'm not a big mercher, but it's helped me out when elite runs were dry.

It also takes knowledge of the AL market if one wants to succeed. Stats and appearances are important for future value, pets may be more appealing to twinks instead of endgame. All the little tidbits of info are necessary.

I would say 8 out of 10 of my golds came from merching. Tbh I never made atleast 1m gold from elites and farming, but I certainly know how to do it. I want the fast way tho, To help people sell there goods and get commission from it and merching. I got mythic set within 3 minutes before I endgamed, Sold my friends shard within 3 minutes.

Since I stopped to do elites because of certain reasons, I've been merching, and it goes not so bad. I had 2kk as starting capital, invested 1kk, waiting for market changes))

I didn't get really rich by merching since I started playing (2 months ago) but still made 1m gold.
Anyway hear my recent story, I bought 4 elite golden dragonscale chests for 250k, planned to sell when they rise up to 300k+(so unstable prices during this 2x chances lol) and guess what...
I got 7 days banned! Because I probably said instead of Bigger B->N so there I go, ban and now I'll have to sell them for what...70-80k? So unfair lol.
And it's...gone.

Only problem is like pocket legends merching because so many people do it and start to it will gradually get harder and harder to merch to make the most gold out of items because everyone will want a merch price

Yeah, it's kinda sad.
But at least good thing is in this 2 and a half months of playing I learned most of the prices and how do they change with events and other stuff, so when I'll be able to play again, I'll have about 450k(got about 150k left+those chests), what is enough to do more than just small basic merching.
All in all, I think if merching part is played the right way, it could make some serious money over longer time, but I think hoarding is by far the best way to make gold(except plat buyers lol) for players who plan to play this game for longer time(talking about 3+ months).
PS. Am I crazy or once you hit 80-90m it's a total jackpot: Buying arcane shard, dragonite bar, and farming hour for essences and then creating ring and selling for 15m more than shard makes say 10m...per 5days(cause of crafting)...?

Awesomazing

Merching is good, I have made in the past 2-3 days over 400k.

I havent had much luck merching for immediate returns. It's easier (IMHO) to invest in items & over time, watch price go up. Timing is difficult though. I bought a handful of Kraken vanities from CS on the last day they were available for plat. I sold them about a year later making huge profits. If I had waited another month or 2, I would have made double the profit.

Yeah, exactly as I said too. That's what is typically called hoarding.

My story i was super poor when lvl cap 26 that was first mythic came to AL i jelous needed to buy but had 10k gold so decide to buy plats and i bought first time 12k plat but that time i wasnt smart enough so what i did i made the 12k plat into 12m to buy mythic helm and armor i didnt know was lootable from crates /: and that time i started merching with mythics and then arcanes and then became super rich .

I think the only way to get rich is by merching... No way u can get rich by picking up gold while farming and liquidating items :D. I think this should be in STS consideration... large amount of farmable Gold.

To be honest, you will very rarely see someone selling shard. Most people will craft it into an arcane ring before they sell it :)

Back on topic, I made all my gold via merching :)

The bigger you spend, bigger the profit.
If you have only 20-30k its daydream to think about a mil.

start low, go slow and increase your funds of investment.

Im playing that game for 1.2year. A 6months ago i was noob and i was walking at the Outpost and i was buying cheap lockeds and doing regular things.I was18 level and that day is revolution for me i bought from someone warrior red arlor for 10k.woww i sold it and i get some gold i merch all day all nights some weeks i didnt sleep (haha lie) And i got ROUGE RED ARLOR WOAA and im still 18 i saw merching is beter than farming i stopped level up at 18 n merch merch merch merch merch and now i have one full mythic acc one 18twink and one 15twink so it can be possible. I never do scam or something like that so true way is merching.

Can someone tell me how it happened ???when x2 weekend starts first hour lockeds price was 9k one night later down to 5-6k.
People is buying a lots of lockeds and their prices down its really weird.Whats trick? Cheap lockeds mean more spend platinium.At old days i saw lockeds up to 20-30k why not now?

Since STS brought out Stash/inv slots for story tokens now everyone can hoard and merching is much more popular now as its the best way to make gold without cheating. Lots of players save a lot of locked for these events then all rush to sell and undercut eachother faster than people can buy so the price falls. Locked openers know this too so if price starts to get high they stop buying for 20-30 minutes until cheaper again.

Before you can merch effectively, you have to farm two Millions fpr the bigger trades. Merching items for less then 150k does not work in my opinion.

I am not going to lie, I will probably get some hate for this but...I got to where I am now with crates ^_^ One locked crate with Mythic Warrior armor (Maybe my 15th or so crate) way back when in Season IV (Nordr) and sold for a nice amount :) Since then though I have merched a few things here and there but nothing as major as those locks.

So, all in all. Try your luck now and then but nothing too big, do calculated merches and try not to go all out :) However, I really kicked myself when I found out Ectoplasm was 700k in CS for the last time I checked they were 15k .-. But I guess, that being said not many people want nor need those things so I guess they might not have sold any way :/

Who knows :D

GLHF If you can't make your millions make a twink and PvP for the funz!
