Why are gems crashing?


Skeptical

They fixed the rogue.

 

That's what you get for utilizing something that was bound to get fixed. You should have expected this and stayed clear from gems/jewelry.

 

What's "the rougue"?

 

I didn't do anything underhanded: I bought 2mil worth of gems for crafting training.

The rogue was an NPC that used to buy unenchanted jewelry for min GE price. This led to many manipulation clans buying out jewelry, since they could be dumped on the rogue - no one loses. This led to perpetual buyouts - that's why gems are like 10x the price they were a couple years ago.

 

Now the NPC buys for alch value? I believe. So expect gems to crash.

 

You should have bought black d-leather instead.

Well so much for 900k+ gp/hour training thieving... <_<

Also, expect a lot of other items to be manipulated as these clans have to give up their golden goose.

:-(

 

Hopefully they'll stay away from cadantine, yew and papaya seeds. But of course they always seem to pick the most inconvenient thing to buy out...

Or you could just profit from buyouts...

Oh wait I just realized does this kill the purpose of having a magpie out?

Well damn.

 

It's still a little profit though isn't it?

Probably but I think I'm gonna switch to macaw now so at least I can sell whatever it's making.

Yes, the profits are reduced, but still the most worthwhile thing. You can still get stuff like dueling rings which are always in demand.

Why most idiots constantly ruin useful things? Just glad that I tried stringing well before this mess.
