Steer The Market!

We've all encountered it before. Suddenly, the costs of things like potions, stigma shards, scrolls, ancient coins, or godstones start soaring.

But why does this happen? More crucially, how do you foresee such a trend?

 

Lately, there's a lot of chatter about folks struggling to achieve their ultimate end-game gear and manastone setup due to insufficient kinah earnings. However, it seems many aren't utilizing the clear treasure trove right at their fingertips.

A.K.A

The broker.

Example number 1:

The last couple of weeks, the server has seen frequent resets. What's the general reaction to this?

''TIME TO GRIND NON-STOP ZERO SLEEP FULL TRYHARD PVE BOIIII''.

But here's what you should be considering:

   <--------- Infinity shard entry item - Those eager to ''OH I SHOULD DO ALL INSTANCES TODAY!!!'', will be your customers. They're rushing to complete instances before the server resets and will certainly buy from you. MUST-RUSH-ALL-INSTANCES-ASAP! D:<

> Be observant when Antonio states a server restart and list these on the broker for 700k~1m each, and enjoy those easy kinah gains.

I typically farm about 50 of these daily.

Mainly obtainable in the following location:

Example number 2:

The economy is in flux. Strange Ide Crystals might be 1m each today and worthless tomorrow. You constantly need to ask, ''what's currently in demand on the server?''.

Here's the answer as of 11-14-2019

Potions like these are perhaps the simplest to craft, used by every PvPer who steps beyond safe zones.

One crafting session produces 3x Greater Healing Potions, so having materials for 300x translates to an easy 20m.

Too lazy to get the materials? No problem. Just do your BM weeklies, daily dungeons, and morph them using your DP.

Command: /where Relir

For the morphing blueprints.

Example number 3 (FOR GENERALS ONLY):

If you're an active magic class, you've likely noticed the scarcity of Magic Attack idians on the broker.

As a general, one magical idian would cost 10k AP. They generally sell for 5m each, yet due to their absence from the broker, you can increase the price to 7-8m.

You're probably thinking, ''BUT I NEED AP TO BUY STAR 2 SET QQ''.

It's not wise to splurge all your AP on idians because they're scarce. Head to Idian Depths, and farm crystals at the mentioned location (100 AP each).

Alternatively, farm Dogs. (Each gives 4.4k AP with an AP amulet).

There are 6 dogs throughout the map, respawning every 10 minutes.

That's 26k AP in 10 minutes, so it's manageable.

Dogs' location:

(They also drop Ancient Coins and loads of gear. Honestly, ditch this guide, and just farm them endlessly!).

....JK.

Example number 4:

Consider gear.

Some have already completed their officer star 2 set.

Support players have the patience to grind out a full kahrun set. (kudos to them).

However, what about the meleers here?

The point is clear. EXTENDABLES.

You need only know what materials to stockpile for when people call upon the RNG gods and receive their weapon from DLR.

Broker prices on these are climbing even for materials you might have discarded as junk.

^ One necessary material, and surprisingly, people are buying. Hence the empty stocks on the broker. I've been giving crafting resources for extendies to friends, but if wealth is your goal, jump in.

 

Bonus tip: You might try Morheim and hunt the 3 elites dropping tons of goods for multi-client gains. But Givi already dominates there... expect to compete for every kill, so maybe skip it. But feel free to try.

Oh, hold on.... Almost slipped my mind!

Example number 4:

Be a credit card hero! <3

I hope this guide helps someone cover the current crazy prices of composite manastones, stigma shards, 100% sockets, and the essential stuff we all need to succeed.

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to read through this.

 

P.S. I've been part of the Aion Riftshade beta, and their server promises an incredible experience with robust anti-cheat systems and no pay to win nonsense. Launching in Q1 2026, Aion Riftshade with features like low ping, stable environment, and active GMs will revolutionize the way you play. Consider giving it a shot for a fresh start.
