Ahh i see, not sure but i'm willing to give it a try. It would take a while to do and we'd probably get the attention of some Carleon faction boys while trying to do so.
go simple, try murkweald

Whoa, nice. I've stopped watching any streamers since Gus quit(?). Decent odds with megs?

Decent. . . She has about 50-300 viewers at any given time. Not sure how many participate. Maybe 13-30 based on chat activity entering it? She has recently started limiting people who have "already won". I don't know the time limit, but the giveaway I won, there were 3-5 people denied for having already won. I normally have streams open for background noise and just see what people do in game.

Good. That's how it should be :) Unless I suck.

Laborers hit T8 today. About a 16 mil investment to upgrade everything to support them at that level. Would be about a 110 days to make it back at current market values.

Good Lord. I'm at T6 mercs, and just letting them do T5 books. I'll do T6 books if I go back to black zones/mists some day once I'm done playing at the hospital/away from home.

To be clear, I did NOT make the 16 mil investment. I only have 7 mil right now! Only did the math to see.

Went out to raid bandits yesterday, and I always take the Inis Mon -> Owlsong Glen path, as I haven't died doing that yet (knock on wood). Owlsong was Lymhurst already, 3 reds in the area. But instead of doing what I normally do (run up through the fort then over), I just stuck to the roads because I was a little late.

Well, sure enough, some dude was chilling, invisible, waiting for me on the roads. He hits me fast, and I lose half health, so I use my floating healer spell and start running. Then I hit my fast run, but the guy catches up to me, and traps me. Fortunately, I have my shock spell, so I hit him with that, then it's been just long enough that I can use my floating healer spell, and I escape.

11am bandit came while I was eating my breakfast, so once combat started, I basically just stood away from the fight. Some fighting in Nightbloom, then Longtimber Glen was the biggest fight. Green vs Black, then Orange joined in. I didn't realize that there was an underground Caerleon area that exited in Longtimber, Malag Crevasse, Mardale, and Deadvein Gulley. I thought that was a dungeon entrance. Went in to there for more battles, but couldn't rat much.

Got about 250k - 20k repair bill. Highlights were a Lymhurst cape + a 6 stack of Invisibility potions.

Bought 20 Expert Lymhurst Crests for 30k each (I normally sell them for 45k each) not sure why the price is so low today, but I'll buy more.

Bandited. Got 1M in loot (!) from 2 corpses. Highlight was a 550k 5.3 Hallowfall. I teleported back immediately. Then ran back to join the group.... and, died.

I'm still helping Jemma get used to things, so I basically have to play both of us at the same time. I got distracted and sucked up in one of those AOE sucky things and then killed. Carleon was very organized today. 3 pronged attack from different directions. And of course they hit Lymhurst instead of one of the better factions.

I was watching a handful of "How to make silver fast" videos, and there are a few that say "Do factions". They are fairly recent. I'm thinking that might be why the market is getting flooded?

Another one was transporting things to the black market. His video shows him doing it. What he's buying and for how much. What he's making and how much it sells for. 3 weeks later, the materials are up about 5%, but the end product is selling for about 30% of what his video showed. You lose money doing what he suggested. In the video he says "It's ok that I'm sharing this because everyone could do this and it won't hurt the market. The game buys so many of these items every day" and proceeds to show the market volume in the thousands. Problem is, if 10 people did what he did, the market would have 1000's of items added each day, matching the current volume. Considering the video had 19k views, you can assume more than 10 people are doing this.

She wanted to make sure I told you she's very thankful for the blocks. As soon as she hits 100, yours will be first in line and the treeheart and leather portions will be covered.

Possibly. Does seem like larger blobs than a few weeks ago.

On reddit someone was suggesting that videos like this are influencers trying to bring down prices for something that they buy :)

Well, his example was all T3 armor, so at least it wasn't that!
