Attuned IOS pick a random level within the range they are available and you can’t see what that level is. So a failed conversion occurs when you try to convert, but there is nothing at that random level to convert to.

So it turns out, the "successfully converted" messages go in the chat log, so I have ~4600 conversion messages in my chat history. I can't tell which ones were attuned and which were of specific levels, but I can distinguish "by-rarity", "by-set", and "by-type", I believe -- so far as I can tell, by-rarity always picks a thing of a different type, by-type always picks a thing of a different set but the same type, and only in-set can ever pick another thing of the same set.
Thus, if you know the type of every enhancement, you can distinguish those categories reliably.
I cannot guarantee this 100%, but I feel very confident that I have converted by rarity and gotten the same category but in a different set, e.g., converting a Smashing Haymaker by common, getting a Focused Smite.

huh.
now i'm wondering, because i'm pretty sure i've seen winter's gift way more often than a lot of other sets, and i just assumed that was intentional, but it might just be coincidence.
I don't know how the RNG does the rarity thing. One logical way would be to look at every rare set that this *could* be converted to, choose one, then assign which enhancement in the set it is. Another logical way would be to look at every rare enhancement that this could be converted to and choose one.
If it's the former, then you might have a (for example, making this up entirely) 1 in 45 chance of getting a winter's gift, but if it's the latter you would have a lesser chance (since winter's gift only has three enhancements in the set).
There may also be observer bias. I tend to notice when I get things that are worthless to me, like winter's gift or snipes, but don't pay as much attention if it's something middling, like a melee damage.

You just don't get it. I don't do it BECAUSE it's overpowered. I do it because I really enjoy, um, being overpowered?

I, and many others I know, purpsefully sell everything we sell for a single buck to drive down the market and keep people from driving up the prices on the market like it was back on live.
If you want/need money, go farm. I've made as much as a billion infamy in about an hour and half just farming.Ears perked up. How in the world did you pul that off? The best I’ve heard quoted is about 2mm a minute, so you are doing over five times that?

I saw a claim at one point that the chances aren't exactly 1/N -- specifically, that procs might have a lower chance than non-procs, or something like that. So if you convert 1000 LotG, you will get noticably under 166 global recharge procs, and at least a bit over 160 of everything else.
I’ve converted a lot. A LOT. I can’t say I’ve seen any evidence that the RNG isn’t statistically fair.

I am 100% for making more content that is truly rare, or hard to acquire. No one needs IOs at all in order to solo AVs. Why not allow people to strive for something unique?

Has anyone else noticed that supply seems to be dropping and prices rising?

If this were to work, I think you would need to front the buyer the capital, then wait a week or two while she does her magic, then collect your items. You can buy 70-90 enhancements in an hour. You cannot buy 70-90 specific enhancements in an hour. That goes to your aversion of being a price taker. I *think* you know that.
I enjoy getting bang for the buck, but if you want to contract this out, I really think you need to offer a lot more upside.
Tell you what, I’ll provide a 1bn build for 5bn. And I’ll pay 1.5bn for a 1bn build. That’s market making!

It feels a bit like Tom Sawyer getting his friends to paint his fence, but power to you! I'd be a buyer of this service. Why not let people contract to provide me goods at the lowest price? I'd make out like a bandit reselling to the AH.

You need to think more.
I've joined "PLing" teams with a new character (level 4ish+ as I can get to 4 very quick), especially a re-rolled one, to get to the mid-20s when then I can start equipping level 25+ enhancements. I've done the content a bunch and sometimes I want to get to where the character has several enhanced powers to operate with. I've never went from 1 to 50 via PLing. I stop playing most characters at 50 anyway (incarnate content is not that special).
And I would never ever pay for it. That concept is just absurd.
I think you just reinforced my point. If you are joining "PLing" teams, you are doing so either because you find it "too [xyz]" to level normally, or because you just enjoy the experience of zerging. That's cool, and it's your choice. I don't understand why people would make that choice.
I'm not saying that everyone HAS to play content at normal speeds. I AM saying that I do not understand anyone's contention that "I choose to skip intermediate content because I would prefer to level to 50, then go back and experience said content through Ouro, preferably with T4 incarnates" I surmise that people do it because it's a lot easier, for example, to fight Atta with T4 incarnates, than without but I don't know!

It seems like a consensus that the fee is a little light or not worth it, but i'd say to that there is three elements of being paid. First the fee, then second your ability to profit per enhancement vs the estimate. For example in the estimate LoTG +Recharge could be estimated at 8m each, where they can easily be bought at 7m. And the third one being you save 10% if you were to sell via the auction house.
Again, just my opinion. But my ability to profit per enhancement is happening anyway. Why should I want to provide YOU 5x LotG 7.5% when I can provide five, ten, hundreds to the marketplace? I think I would want something to sweeten the pot.

|-------------------------------------------------------------------|This good ol' Farming build.
Highlights of this build and my estimate of the cost (not spending much time or thought really):
Enhancement Price per 15 Purples 22m 18 Winter* 20m 4 LoTGs 7.5m
5 ATO* 9m (more if superior) 3 PVP Procs 12m 3 Uniques 5m 45 'Other' 2.5m *Assumption of non-superior in the trade, as I have hundreds of catalysts and it always seems to be better to use your own.
Total Cost = 928.5m
Fee @ 15% = 139.5 (Rounded up)
From personal experience, from the estimated numbers above includes a sizeable profit I've achieved on the market myself. Assuming 1m profit per enhancement that's another 90m. As for inf/min - this all depends on your stock and how fast you can purchase. It would need to take longer than 70 minutes to be worse off than farming for inf (based on 2m inf/min).
Purples/winters -- terrible profit potential. If you bought winters at 10, good for you! Otherwise buy at 20, sell at 25 for net 2.5mm profit per? Meh
LotGs -- costs about 3mm per to make them, on average. Why make you 4 as opposed to making a hundred for the AH?
ATOs -- buy at 6mm, spend 500k on converting, sell at 10mm (9 after taxes). Again, why not do this in large quatities?
etc. It sounds like you have a good grip on marketing. Why again are you looking to outsource it?

That's not the same thing as "too hard". I was soloing stuff on an ill/something. I had confuse. Solo, so no bosses. I could not lose. The upper bound on enemies attacking me was that a single enemy could attack me for the recharge time of confuse -- if I missed, I could just do nothing until it came up, and then streakbreaker would force a hit. So, guaranteed win. That can't possibly be "too hard". But it is not particularly *exciting*.
I'm not calling out anyone as a bad player who can't beat a hellion in a straight up battle. Everyone on this forum can punk AVs left handed with their eyes closed.
I am saying that if you need a PL, or want one, I don't see a reason other that "It's too hard for me to level my character." Let me rephrase: "It's too much effort (sigh) for me to level my character." That's fine! Up to you. I just don't get it. It just seems to me a way to do the same exact content through Ouro only with incarnate abilities so it becomes even easier.

Or it is a veteran who really has no interest in running the same story content again for the umpteenth time.
^ This too. It is a quick way to find out if the character will be worth sticking with.
I'm being simplistic, but this is just another case of "it's too much effort". That's fine. No one said you have to play every alt at +4/x8 from Outbreak (although that IS a challenge).

Weird. The main reasons I've seen are "character slow/frustrating at low levels"
Right. Too hard.
-
The more I think about it, the only reasons that I see for power leveling are PvP or because the regular content is too hard.

It's been months since there was a "wish list" added to the patch notes section of what people want to see added. There was also a post about some amazing stuff coming including Mastermind Changes. When are we actually going to see this stuff? What is taking so long? There are other servers that have some crazy customization and they haven't been around as long as homecoming.
When are you going to pay the volunteer developers a salary and benefits? You realize, of course, they are working for nothing and that they owe you exactly what you are paying them. I'm sure the other servers would love the population, so report back to us and let us know how it went!

Interesting idea! I can see two stumbling blocks, that would have an impact if I were to do it:
1. 10-15% fee seems pretty light. Picking up ?90? enhancements, or making them, takes a fair amount of effort and even more importantly time. I wouldn't be willing to work for 10%, but I think a lot of people might. All kinds of ways to have fun in this universe! An idea: offer a fixed amount for the job (I'm thinking 2bn) and that way the contractor gets to determine her own profit. That would cost you more, but you are paying to avoid the inconvenience of the part of building you don't like to do.
2. I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of opening a trade window that many times, and emails would be worse. I would only want to do it if I could build the character and transfer it. Is there a way to transfer characters? I can only think that it's intra-account, so granting access to your account on a server that you don't normally use might work out. Then at the end of it you transfer the alt to the server you want. The problem with that is that someone else has access to your account for a period of time, and I can understand that's not desirable.
My two inf. Good luck with this! It's an out-of-the-box idea and I support your aims.

It actually does. Option 1: Solo crap you're not supposed to; Option 2: Crank up something weaker and/or more clicky so you have to be more active.
Staff/Fire ... or maybe even fire/staff sounds kinda groovy.
I've got a staff/fire brute farmer -- it's spectacular. Probably vastly inferior to other farmers, but spectacular nonetheless.

I've never understood the whole Pling to 50 thing, but whatever.
I will say that I see a lot more people looking for and finding teams sub 50. So why are people PLing to 50? I don't think it's PvP. I don't think it's incarnate content. Is it to make Ouro content easier? If so, why not just do it the first time? I'm honestly puzzled.

Are there any underrated money makers for converter crafting?
in The Market
Posted
For LOTG, the "easiest" way is to buy level 41 recipes for Reactive Defenses or Red Fortune, craft, convert. Or you can buy them precrafted and convert. You can also move down the chain and add lvl 31 Gift of the Ancients or Serendipity, but your conversion odds drop a lot so you will be burning more converters.
