Obus Form

Lately lots of hecatombs on the market. Everyone!! Please continue supporting the melee IO economy 😃 *Power Pool: breath holding until purple 💜*

Team formation time makes those unreliable as a "farm" for merits

Ask, and yee shall receive....as long as you are on Excelsior

My in game chat handle is @tinygodzilla. I'd like to send a gift to you and the SG. Is your game handle @COSMIC LIGHT?

I dont think bidding on salvage ahead of time is usually required unless you are looking for a lower-than-average price. It is possible a schedule to check/bid/craft may help you as it did for me: 1) Before work - bid on all required items (mostly recipes, almost never salvage), post auctions if not running late 2) Coming home from work - collect all sales, collect all recipes, craft, convert, bid on all remaining items 3) Before sleeping - same as step 2

@COSMIC LIGHTThanks for the nifty trick and sharing your base with the server. Is your guild leader online? I'd to thank you and them for making this happen.

I usually do 12 cause of @Ukase guys haha 😄

Haha I think it's the person. Personally in all games with AH (Diablo 3, WoW and Cox) I've tried to own the AH. Often leads to new friendships 😃 and several bitter enemies 😭. My only dopamine is FOOTSTOMP FOOTSTOMP FOOTSTOMFFFF (spits)!!!!!!!!!!!! 🐾🐾 on a 5 second CD, all mobs knocked up, full 15 enemies saturation, force feedback rez-icon proc, 650% damage cap. Titan weapons whirlwind attack is a close second but the delayed knockup breaks my instant gratification heart. Else, it's /AH.

about 1 hour. can confirm

This is my opinion only, but the old ways don't apply anymore. If you sell the good IOs, you make profit. Take that profit and re-invest into creating more good IOs, re-sell good IOs. Once you get enough (1 billion influence) you start rolling out a several hundred million inf profit each night. My opinion only, but it will help you IO out all your alts very quickly. The cost of doing it? You have to: 1) Understand that in this video game, you aren't really gambling. Any risk aversion you have to gambling, be gone! 2) There is no "helping" no players by not using inf to buy IOs. When you create good IOs from bad ones, you help everyone, you also make profit. 3) If you can stop IO'ing your alts for now, create a pool of 1 billion inf by converting and selling good IOs. Once this pool is created, gradually shift tens or hundreds of millions to your alts. My opinion only. 😃

Gotta play the converting game. Saves a TON of time farming via TFs and very comparable or better than farming /AE. Converting game is just using converters to convert low level recipes to rare recipes, or converting ATOs to other ATOs (brute, or scrapper) that sell quickly. You can do it my dude.

I'm just a poor investor trying to scratch out a living

Unlikely, but I plan to amass 101 bn by a Labour Day. =O

Hello forum helpers, I am a long time player of brutes using anything /DA, mainly SS/ and Spines/ now looking into TW and would appreciate your help. Could someone guide me on what powers are necessary for TW single target and AOE attack chain once perma hasten (or near perma) is achieved? Also, is perma hasten an absolute must or is near perma acceptable? I've leveled a TW/DA toon up to 32 and understand the momentum mechanic, but am curious what end game TW/ attack chain should play or feel like. I ask this because experience leads me to believe that the play style or playability of a toon often changes once fully IOd and/or incarnated. Influence is not an issue if anyone has build suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Just to answer the original topic of "How much wealth is considered wealthy" in this server. Not mentioning any philosophies (e.g. "wealthy" is relative to the next guy) and how you earn your money in /AE or /AH I would say 20+ billion would be wealthy. I played since July 20 - today is Aug 13. I farmed the /AH since approx July 30 and used only 1.5 billion to IO out 2 brutes. All other inf has been exclusively used for reinvestment into /AH farming. Currently have 5-6 billion floating in the market, 2 billion in email (in case of market crash or /GM decides to stop all AH farmers) and earn about 800-900 million profit each night /AH via 45 minutes of converting on 2-3 very niche markets. The more influence I have, the more I float into the AH to increase the # of recipes/converters/salvage I can earn overnight. Total I have earned about 9.5 billion (10% AH fees is extortion...) over approx 3 weeks of intense /AH farming with the majority of profits coming in the last 1.5 weeks. The more inf I have, the more I earn. Personally, I've lost interest in the actual game aspect after optimizing my 2 brutes (IOs, incarnates, 4 accolade passives) and play the game solely to rule the AH so this may be a contributing factor. I am happy the GMs do not counter /AH farming because I believe that us entrepre-auction-housers supply the much needed IOs to the players that need it. Edit: The American dream is alive and well in this game!

Personally, I found there are 2-3 markets virtually left untapped (except by me). For my own profit reasons I will not share (>.>) (<.<) All I would say is, with enough influence floating via bids in the market, it is very possible to corner certain markets because of converters. When I say corner, I mean control about 50% of the supply by a single player via consistent daily bidding/selling/converting at regimented times of the day/week.

From personal experience and reading farmer forums on /brutes (Spines/Fire and TW/Fire), the high end of inf/minute is about 4-6 million inf/minute. Since merits are earned at approximately 1 merit/minute, but usually less, and at the best case of markets or converters you could earn 27 million (after tax) for 100 merits, farming via /brutes is the most efficient use of time. The purple supply has doubled since July, going from 20-30 IOs for damage types (hecatomb, apoc, armg, rag) to 50+, even 89 Apoc: Damage IOs. Based on personal experience of having successfully played the AH to earn billions in a few weeks, I am bored of my handful of 50 brutes that I used to game endlessly on live. It is only my conjecture that some of the playerbase bores of their 50s after complete IO'ing, and incarnate optimization, and 4 passive accolades. It took me 2 weeks to achieve this (optimized IOs, incarnates, and 4 passive accolades) on a single 50, and another 1 week for my next 50. The large coalition of which I am part of exhibited an enormous and somewhat continued decline since August. Although the Excelsior server is always busy (3 red circles upon login), there seem to be less and less 50s playing at any moment. Just my 2 cents.
