Episode 46: L-U-A Spells Chaos!

We finish up the Summer Festival goodies we were trying for. Goldenstar is a Lucky Duck! Merric is also a little closer to finishing up the lucky duck deed. We’ve purchased almost all the summer items we can think we need at this point and may be just about done with the Summer Festival.

Merric got his burglar to 35 and has a mini-rant about the quest that you do to be able to ride the fast horse.

The Captain’s roundtable was released on Friday, not Wednesday like we planned in case you missed it!

I do have a couple of questions: What housing related crafted materials are in demand? Does the fesitival rewards affect the AH market?

Kia’s Response:

I think those are really good questions. First the price of the items will always depends on the server you are one, so I can’t really pronounce myself on the money you’ll make, but I can surely give you tips on the items most in demand when decorating a house. I think it’s a fair assumption to say that Breakfast Tables are a constant. They are not very pricy, since they can be made by beginner cooks, but are the easiest Special Furniture to acquire and have no level or reputation requirements. (The two other Special Furniture can be acquired by allies of Rivendell only.) Now the best sellers are undoubtedly Shore Glimpse and Above Weathertop Paintings. The recipe is acquired by Scholar allied with Rivendell, but the item it self is not bound. Since there is not a lot of painting choices from the vendors inventory and not a lot of person take the time to level a Scholar, further more allied with the elves, the paintings are both a good buy and a good sell. I used them a lot in my own designs! Note that you will also need a farmer to work with you if you intend to work on painting production.

As for the other items, I think the Red Canopy Bed or the Cushioned Bench might find some occasional buyers because they are quite unique. Same with rugs. But those will surely not be regular sellers.

Otherwise don’t even bother producing bookshelves. Most people will work with what the Furniture vendors can offer them, or will simply use their own alts or contacts to acquire the exact items they are looking for.

As for the Auction House market during Festival times, it should remain unchanged for the most part. Of course, don’t think about selling a Wooden Keg during Spring Festival! You’re likely to see a decrease in demand for some items or hook types that are provided through quests and tokens. It might be a good time for Scholars to produce a bit more Paint color as well during festivals offering new Wallpapers! People will want to try them out!
