Subject: Re: [eqbards] Speaking of lower levels...


What I used to do in early final (and it would probably work on any new
server) is team up with a master smith. I'd order armor in bulk. Bunches
of tunics, pants, helmets and capes (hardest pieces to get stuff of) of
Medium size. I'd get this stuff in Freeport for about 1pp/AC. Then I would
run to Qeynos and sell them for 1.5pp/AC. I would give 'credit' on sales
to regular customers as well. I raked in about 100pp profit per trip and
could do 2 trips a day and sell about 20-30 peices. The market dries up
after about 2 months as everyone is twinking newbies at that point.

But it's still not a bad concept ;)
