Today I did a trip through each dungeon solo at Level 16 ( all zones plus each Watcher/Kraag level plus Hauntlet), 15 total dungeons. Here is what I got. All items listed are after opening the 4 chests I received.
Gold from drops 727
Common items 14
Rare items 31
Epic items 5
Legendary items 0
Copper chests 4
Silver chests 0
Gold chests 0
Pet eggs 0
Gold from item sales 237
Gold from auctions 0
Total NET gold gained 964
Pet feed bill 825 (250+275+300)
Pet feed count 3
Pet levels gained 13
So gross profit had I not used a pet would have been 1,789 gold. Gold thing I wasn't using my lvl 15-16 pets. I've suggested it many times that item vendor value should be item level* item quality. If that was the case then below would be my vendor prices
Common 224g
Rare 992
Epic 240
Total 1,456g
Net gold for run could have been 2,183
Gross gold could have been 3,008
Not a huge difference, but I think it could help out the economy a bit. The way the game is now it requires complete luck for legendary/eggs or Platinum to make money. There really is no old school grind for gold.
########### UPDATE ###############
So i wanted to see how much a difference it would make to try and do every daily in the game possible in one day. So i ran every dungeon just trying to complete dailies. here is what i found:
1695 net gold (quests and drops)
297 gold from items
13100 gold from auctions (if items sell first try, based on action prices at 10am CST Dec 4th)
2 eggs (from dailies)
0 gold chest
2 silver chest
4 copper chest
All items below are after i opened the chests
0 legendary
10 epic
40 rare
10 common
-1200 Pet Feeding (3x feeding at 400g per)
Not including LUCK - Legendary/Egg drop -> Auction sales
3192 Gross Profit from doing all dailies in a day
1992 Net Profit from doing all dailies in a day
Iincluding LUCK - Legendary/Egg drop -> Auction sales
16292 Gross Profit from doing all dailies in a day
15092 Net Profit from doing all dailies in a day
The point of the thread is to hopefully show STS that the gold drops/vendor item prices are too low to balance out the economy. To make any money really, it relies on luck or platinum to buy gold. I am sure STS likes that buying platinum to get gold is a great motivation for them to not change, but this is probably hurting the game more and discouraging people from playing since it requires winning on a slot machine to make money, in essence
^^^all the above runs were done on my lvl 16 warrior, potion use was negligible.
