GW2: Going for 1000 gold – Day 15

As you can see, very little movement, today. My starting gold is almost the same as yesterday.

There are two reasons for this:

First, I bought a lot of onyx cores. I use onyx lodestones in a variety of runes. I upgrade the cores in the mystic forge. It costs one bottle of elonian wine, a crystal, a pile of crystalline dust and 2 of the cores to make one onyx lodestone. I think that’s worth it. So when someone dump a bunch of cores on the trading post at a sweet price, I picked them right up.

The other reason is a few things that normally sell quickly are still sitting on the trading post. Specifically, in the last two days, the market for sigils of torment is off about 20%. Every time I list one at what I think is a reasonable price, someone force the price lower.

I’m not worried. I’m going to let me sigils sit for a while and see what the market does. If it goes significantly lower, I’ll relist my sigils at a lower price. For now, I’ll make other things. No big deal.

And that’s the lesson for today: You should always have other options, other things you can make and sell. The market in Guild Wars 2 can change on the whim of a developer. Be ready to change, too, if needed.
