Subject: Auction questions (was Re: what weapon? and other questions...)


It seems the price per crushbone belt in Firiona Vie is 5gp, still
not too bad. Also it seems ruined pelts bottom out at 2gp ea, but i
have been trying to get 3 :) I did fairly well with my medium
quality cat pelts, sold them for about 2pp ea. I have learned alot
so far. My strategy at this point is to let people make me an offer
and it usually works out ok. I have about 35pp saved up now so I
have been auctioning to get a dragoon dirk as was mentioned before.
And since I am back in freeport now, I may chance the journey to
highpass to check for tomahawks :) Thanks everyone for the
suggestions!

price ... Another thing you can do is sell deathfist belts (or
crushbone belts and lego pads, etc.) These quests are quite good and
there is no shortage of twinks buying them for up to 5pp each.
