Here be a little guide about Merch!
What is Merch?
Merch comes from the words merchandising, which means buy and sell.
How to Merch?
Merch is all about buying cheaper, and selling for higher price.
To merch very efficiently, you must look after items that's value varies a lot. Then, you'll buy it when it's price is low, then sell it when it's price is high. It's recommended to check the auction everyday for such opportunities. The best merch system is when there is a repetitive cycle. You can also look after item's that's value keep rising, like discontinued items.
You should study the price variation before merching an item, by buying one sample of the item and try selling it for a higher price. Make sure that the profit's cover the selling taxes if you use the auction.
You should ask other's advice before merching an item: Some people must have tried merching that item before you.
You should check auction everyday for some opportunities: Some people sell items for a very low price (yep, 150k value staff for 55k ->Planar Rod of Brutality)
You should check announcements for future events. Events are the main factor affecting item value.
What should I merch?
Locked Grand Crate of the Watch is classic. It's price has been going up and down since game beginning. Look for event where people will buy them for high prices and sell them. You can also wait for event where everybody will be selling it causing a price drop and here be your chance to buy them: You'll be able to sell them when prices goes back to normal, or goes higher.
As it was said, Events are precursor of price variation:
The introduction of Maridos, with half price to unlock, Locked Grand Crate of the Watch's price doubled!
At double grand gem odds, the value of gems' doubled and tripled (4.5k for blood gem, 3k for fire gem, and 2.5k for glacial gem)
Now, when ankh drop from bosses, people will farm low level bosses. The Ankh kit value will drop.
Double xp weekends will have an effect on XP elixir kits, check those out.
These are few examples, you must find the others. Locked Crates are not the only item that has a price variation. there are many items that can be merched and you must find those kits of easter eggs ;)
