I would qualify as saying that this is *probably* a display glitch, although Jimmy's comment seems to confirm it. There are definitely real items that have some screwy histories that are not bug related. Lots and lots of very small bids. Never post at a level you aren't willing to receive!

You and me both. I now own several thousand winter packs. The very thought of opening them gives me the "chills".

I’m away from the game, but I suspect I’m going to log in and be owning a LOT of winter packs. Never thought they would cut prices that much!

I second this. Almost everything that I pursue started because I wanted one, so I bought ten. Still works this way for me: I get an alt to lvl 17 and put in bids for blocks of perf shifters and miracles. Slot one, sell the rest for profit. At this point, I've probably dabbled in everything there is to dabble in. I drew the line at trading Halloween salvage, however.

War Mace is a great set. I’d argue overpowered, but it is what it is. But it shines in single target. Its aoe is good, but not as exceptional as some other sets.

My go to sets when leveling: Entropic Chaos/Decimation For ranged Positrons Blast For targeted AoE Kinetic Combat for melee Obliteration for PBaoe Basilisks gaze for hold unbreakable guard for res damage

As the one who posted "some people just want to bitch," I'm sorry to have triggered you into some sort of episode. That can't be fun or pleasant. I wasn't referring to you, or even the person I was replying to, but that's ok. I hope you're all right.

Based on the title of the thread and reading the first handful of replies, I’ve got a pretty good idea of OPs motives and endgame. It’s pretty transparent. Frankly, I’d be fine if there wasn’t a drop of new anything. I’m nowhere near leveling every power combination of every AT to 50 and beyond. I’ve probably run every piece of content available, but not recently. And if I ever feel the need to make a new power set, I’ll host my own server. *content*

Expanding off the Empty Auctionhouse thread mentioned by Broken_Prey in the first post, what’s your go to policy for recipes that drop? Personally, I now craft every recipe under lvl 50 that doesn’t require rare salvage. Convert them into something if they are worth under 2mm. Craft every purple, convert until I can sell it for over 20mm. Craft every pvp, convert until I can sell for 9+mm. Rare recipes almost always get vendored unless I think I can sell them for more than 2mm or I can make 5mm from crafting it.

I like to target 1-3mm per trade. How many trades you do per day is partly based on demand, and partly based on how many times you can convert something before you get bored! 300mm/day is almost certainly more than almost anyone "needs", but when did that ever stop anyone?

Thank you!

At this point, if I have the time and patience, I'll craft every recipe I get under 50 if it doesn't require rare salvage. Then I will sell it in IO form or more likely convert it. If I convert it to something I actually need, I will offer it in the AH at the same time as putting in a lower bid on an attuned version. If it requires rare salvage, I'll check the AH for the recipe and the IO, and will either sell the recipe, craft it and sell it, or vendor it based on what I learn or already know.

I am mostly concerned about your clicking finger! I’ve long considered buying every common salvage on the AH. More than enough inf, but there is no way I am clicking that many times!

That seems like a waste of clicks. If they seed it like salvage, are you going to buy 10mm recipes?

I can't help you Doc. You are dealing with something other than what the OP wants, and my attempts to answer your *quoted* desire for discussion have been met with vague philosophic nonsense. Some people want to solve problems. Some want to bitch. Some want to do neither. I think I answered your question succinctly, precisely, and irrefutably. I hope the OP finds the same. In case you missed it, scroll up a few responses. Best of luck to you, and I hope that your contributions to future threads are concrete.

Ha! I only ask because I have several* for offer, and if there was a bid outstanding for over 10mm, it should have transacted when the bid came in. Curious! It sounds like the system reacted to your offer, which should only happen if there were no other offers under 15mm. Not concerned enough to file a report! *by several I mean lots and lots and lots. If you want one for free, send me a pm. They are mostly level 31.

This is going to sound crazy, but is there any chance you have this guide in printed format? I have trouble with videos.

Out of curiousness, how did this come about? Did you post them and you sold instantly into the highest outstanding bid? Or did you post them and they sold "later" (maybe seconds/minutes later) when someone came in with a bid of 15mm? If the former, then there are problems in the queue. If you care to tell, where did you post them?

I think I'd rather see a flat 60 converter fee to pick whatever enhancement in set you want. That's 20 in set conversions, which would normally get you where you want to go 98.85% of the time. If you want to ensure against that 1.15%, go ahead!

yup. that's one of the reasons I love it, although you need to manage endurance use. There's a KB +dam proc too, but hardly anyone seems to use it.

I’m not a mastermind. Nor do I play one on tv. But I’m working on a project and I need your help! im trying to set up an end game character that can do anything/everything a MM can do. I have a few constraints though. No purples, no ATOs, no winter os. Everything else is on the table. Consider an unlimited budget. So far, my only realization is stick all the pet damage procs and recharge intensive pet procs in soul extraction. I’m currently using my primary attacks, but can respect out of them as I learn how to play a MM. i appreciate your thoughts and input.

You seem to be attributing things to me that I'm not saying. I am simply trying to address your desire for discussion. I really don't have a horse in this race. Why does a player want a crafted IO over a recipe? Because you can only USE an IO. A recipe in and of itself is of no use to a player unless it is crafted or sold. Why does a player want to buy a crafted IO rather than buy a recipe, necessary salvage, and take the small amount of time and influence to craft it? That's a deeper question, and where I suspect your motives lie. Maybe it's cheaper on the AH (sometimes it is, most of the time it is not). Maybe it's easier or faster (most of the time it is, sometimes it is not). Maybe people just want to control the whole process so recipes are the way they want to go. Etc. Is now where you tell me I'm missing everything again? Edit: duh. A critical reason for buying IOs is that you can buy them pre attuned.

Finished Croatoa and ran some AE to hit lvl 32. I'm no expert on masterminds, but it seems like lvl 32 is a sweet spot, what with the empowerment power. Seems to add a lot of value, especially to the zombies. I think I'm going to need to take some time and figure out what I want my build to be at 50. Normally, I'd wait until 49 for that, but I realized I'm even more dependent on the AE than I thought. I should have realized, but didn't, that when you select a bronze recipe roll 25-29, you get the recipe at your level if it comes in your level. So, if I want things that are sub-lvl 30, I'll probably need to select bronze rolls at a lower range to reduce the odds of getting a 10-50 recipe. For example, if I want another Cloud Senses proc, I can't get there unless I start with a recipe that's 30 or below. And for that I'll also need low or middle salvage, which has/will stop dropping. So more tickets. Lots and lots of tickets. Also, up to this point I've been converting mostly roulette-style. I suspect I've going to have to start spending a lot more merits on converters to get specific things. For example, I'll need a Call to Arms +def at some point. Probably should have targeted it already. But that could cost me hundreds of converters to roll for directly. It may be something I just have to do without. I'm also trying to figure out what to run next for content/merits. I guess aim for story arcs. I could also just do them directly through Ouro, but I prefer to do them directly with the contact. That's inefficient, but that's how I roll.

One simple thing that would help battle axe, not that I’m advocating a change mind you, is add defense debuff to slotting choices like broadsword. I even feel like that was in place at the origin of the set? But I wouldn’t bet any inf on my memory in this case.

Recipes: - can not be stored in base storage - can be bought and sold in the AH in stacks of 10 - can not be used directly/slotted - are usually, but not always cheaper to buy in the AH than the corresponding crafted IO - can usually be sold to vendors (not purples) - can not be converted IOs: - can be stored in base storage - can be bought in the AH in stacks of 10 but can only be sold one at a time - can be slotted - cannot be vendored - can be converted Converting a recipe to an IO requires a workbench, 3-5 pieces of salvage, and crafting cost (which is an influence sink and disappears). Anything else? I'm sure I'm missing a lot.
