Things aren't worth what you think they are "in reality". They are worth what most think and are prepared to pay. *You* made a good deal, be happy about it. You sold an item at an overpriced value, well done. It's called merchanting and it's a good skill to have, nothing bad about it. I wish I had a good merchanting ability, I almost always feel like if I was a little more patient I'd get better deals. In addition, if you got your essence at 40 each you either bought it before the update (which was smart and lucky) or you did some more great merchanting there:) Congrats on the runecrafting levels. I did not sell for an overpriced value. Laws give you 55 xp using the Cammy Teleport and cost 300 to 350 each, giving about 60k xp an hour. Cosmics give you 77 xp per Onyx enchant, and cost 150 to 200 each giving about 90k xp an hour. What school of math you study at that says the Cosmics are overpriced at 200 each? Also, I pay 80 each for essence. As I double craft cosmics, that cuts the cost per COSMIC to 40 for the essence. However, you're right, I did use 66k essence I had from before the update that I got for 30 each. However, seeing that I could have sold this for 80 each, I used 80 as the cost of essence in my post. That's only fair. I did not make A good deal, I sold to a number of players off the forums. They had access to the same search tool I did. They noticed that if they wanted 20k or 30k cosmics at 150 each, they'd have to buy 200, 500 or 1k at a time IF they beat out others wanting a low price. One player I noted was buying at 150 from the noobs to sell at 200 for those rich trainers. Cammy tele aint the best magic xp, and onyx isnt the most common gem to find, of course it has the most xp but its not the most convenient duh! :P
