The thing about stuff like this is, that the more you repeat this and the more people do this, the less money you can make with this. The supply will increase accordingly and as such the prices will go down on the tp. So if you want to do this, yesterday is a good time to start 😉
That's the nature of the beast indeed, but I still like sharing these things. People who popped by on stream last week got a bit of a head start, as I did a lot of the explaining on stream. Normally a video would've been out sooner, but only so many hours in a day.
Oof... less than 10 silver per honey flower now. Kodan chest keys are superior method now, but is also dropping in price every day. Of course with the gathering setup like yours, this will still be much profitable for a long time (most likely)
Hey Phandrel, thank for another great video :) I don't know about others, but I heard you somewhat quiter than I'm used on UA-cam. However it was nice to not have someone screaming at me from my PC, so no problem :D I've been wondering, will you do an update on your open world builds (with spears)? Or are the changes so miniscule, that it's not needed and can run spear with it if applicable?
Thanks! I had to get another mic, so I'm still trying to get my settings right. Should get better over the next 2 videos or so. Thanks for pointing it out! My next planned video is a spear build for every single profession out there 😀
@@phandrel Looking forward to that video. Was just curious, if the spear is any good. I finished story with my ranger in marauder/diviner with sw/sw and spear, and the spear was...ok-ish but felt kinda meh. The quietnes is actually fine, I think most videos on UA-cam are a tad loud.
Do you know if the mythical caches has some internal cooldown, or is instance based? I looted 1 in each map yesterday, but when i went there today none appeared in the location other people were finding it in
There seems to be a daily limit, 3 in Lowland Shore, 1 in Janthir Syntri. Yesterday I only found 2 in the first map, but chances are I just missed a spot, of course. They seem to reset on server reset (needs confirmation).
@@phandrel How do you find 3 though? I tried for 6 hours one day, scoured the entire map in multiple instances, tried 5 different confirmed spots in different instances where people found them and only got 2. 1 in Syntri
@@phandrel Yes I know I tried this 3 times and even with marked 100% cache locations I only got 2. One of them was always unsniffable even if 50 other people could sniff it in that location on that map in that instance of the map. That was my point. I'm on EU as well. Looks like either there's a bug or idk what it could be.
It could either go left or right. If they increase the amount we need to craft the new legendary to an absurd amount, then the sudden increase will probably stay
I'm kinda taken aback that the runestones are still dropping. But yeah, what if we need the equivalent of T1 or T2 essences for obsidian armor. That would indeed keep prices up as well.
Indeed! Tons of more things I want to check out, ideally in the coming days. 3 Mastery Points to go, although I seem to have depleted the fast ones. Hope you got/are getting close to finishing your masteries as well!
Usually I tell people to work down the list in terms of cost. If you have a use for a glyph of reaping, those cost more IIRC, so might be worth considering first. If you don't have a use for those (flax farming for example), then check the next one. My general setup is usually 2x volatility (axe/pick) and 1x bounty (sickle), but I had spares lying around, so I'm using them in all now.
My setup is nearing 3 or 4 years, actually: 10th gen i9, RTX 3080. They're holding up really well, most games I can play in high settings without a sweat.
So just a video idea.. and you could turn it into some kind of series depending on how in-depth you want to go. Basically tutorials on how the decorating system works in Homesteads and what each function does. There could also be different tips or trick you could do with decorations you wouldn't have normally thought were possible (like stacking certain objects as an example). Not many people are familiar with the guild hall decorating so this system is very new to a lot of players. I think this type of info would do wonders. That is of course when you aren't already doing something planned for that week. Also as a bonus.. set ground targeting indicator to Normal to use the F2 function.. setting it to fast or instant causes it to not be usable.
Oh, I like this! To be fair, the decorating part will be new to me as well, but I'll see if I can bring some experienced people on that can show of their (crazy) homesteads.
the musaat runestones is prob 100 or 250 for the leggy spear n backpiece. 100 cuz i think thats how many jade runestone we needed for eod leggies. 250 if the drop rare is intended ooooooor its to make up for there wont be a t2 version. the t2 eod leggies (the elder dragon variations) need another 200 so its 300 total, so ifthe leggies in jw doesnt have a t2 then 250 isnt un-unlikely? 😂
I first thought 100 too, but at this drop rate 250 wouldn't surprise me at all. Even then, I am sitting on 141 at the moment without buying a single one (sold my first 7 I believe).
Yep! Flowers seem hang between 10-11s, so the profit is still more than decent. The Runestones were still dropping en masse as of tonight, and I don't see a fix in the release notes for the update they just pushed.
SNIFFA TRAIN 👃I find this run very relaxing to do no matter the time of day. Best thing to do when you're done with story and cheevos, and waiting for anet to fix bugged events!
Never use Karma to buy tools...that is a waste. use your Karma in a Karma to Volatile/Volatile to Totem Crate gold run. Its far far more profitable than it would be for the off chance at getting a few items worth 10s each.
While I agree the VM > Totem is better, a lot of people that ask about the tools seem to have more karma than Eternal Ice Shards/LWS4 currency/VM, and have been asking if they should invest in a Glyph of Bounty. So I felt covering this was appropriate.
@@phandrel FYI I didnt say it wasnt appropriate, was pointing out its a waste of karma especially on a thing that is going to rapidly decrease in value. Better off setting up a long term high gold return via volatile glyphs and alt farming placements to keep a steady stream of money coming in. The video is great info for a newish player though.
I returned to active play when the expansion started. Comparing JW to SOTO: - in JW I love maps, running around them, pure exploration and I missed it in SOTO - in SOTO I loved rifts and the tons of gold that farming them brought me, but in JW trying to earn gold makes me want to quit the game 😢
Happy to see you back in game! Rifts are back! But sadly no map rewards, although I heard that the mobs in the second map do drop a good amount of dust. The good thing is that it's early on in the expansion, so things can still evolve/change for the better. The expansion itself is amazing, though. Really love the maps as well.
@@phandrelI spent most of my time on the first map, but if you say so, I'll go relax on the second one after work today. :D In addition, I love the revenant's spear after the changes and I hope that the nerf will be mild and will not destroy it.

That's a law of MMORPG's expansion releases.
@phandrel that's a great way to sell your self. Thank you for the marketing lesson.
This man has learned how economics works
Excellent video Phandrel!
Tip for viewers-In case you miss it while watching, sniff for chests while farming.
Thanks, and indeed!

nice one gotta love Phan with a plan

As someone who doesn't intent on doing the new leggies I'm making tons of money by selling everything I gather
I still plan on making the leggies, but every expansion my approach is the same: sell early, then craft when things calm down.
It could either go left or right. If they increase the amount we need to craft the new legendary to an absurd amount, then the sudden increase will probably stay
I'm kinda taken aback that the runestones are still dropping. But yeah, what if we need the equivalent of T1 or T2 essences for obsidian armor.

We have some more to figure out. How your Mastety Points going on?
Indeed! Tons of more things I want to check out, ideally in the coming days.
3 Mastery Points to go, although I seem to have depleted the fast ones. Hope you got/are getting close to finishing your masteries as well!
I’ve got two sets of glyph of volatility. Should I invest in glyph of bounty?

Hey phandrel, would you mind telling me your rig setup? I watched your stream and the game was so smooth. Is it 4060?
My setup is nearing 3 or 4 years, actually: 10th gen i9, RTX 3080. They're holding up really well, most games I can play in high settings without a sweat.

Welp, time to replace the glyph of volatility on my logging and mining tool!
I had one in reserve, might've taken one from the "free" selection container as well.
does this still work?
Yep! Flowers seem hang between 10-11s, so the profit is still more than decent.
The Runestones were still dropping en masse as of tonight, and I don't see a fix in the release notes for the update they just pushed.

Yep! When I'm live it's Honey Flowers & chat, when off-stream, It's Honey Flowers & Netflix at this point.
Meanwhile i lost 1k gold ecto gambling 😂
40 stacks of flowers and you're back where you began :P
Never use Karma to buy tools...that is a waste. use your Karma in a Karma to Volatile/Volatile to Totem Crate gold run. Its far far more profitable than it would be for the off chance at getting a few items worth 10s each.
