    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)...?

    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.

    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 . 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
