Thread: How goes the jewelery trade post nerf?

I'm curious how other people are doing with jewelry sales in the auction house. The Vilya action house used to be fairly lively with the jewelry trade, but since the jewelry nerf, the AH is completely skewed with people posting the new jewelery for ridiculous prices. Way too high or for just a few silver. I used to be able to sell my jewelry (crits and non) without much of a problem, but now, even posting my crits for lower than previous to the "upgrade," I'm not moving any of the new jewelry.

How goes it for the rest of you?

For a brief time, the novelty of the new jewelry was high and it sold fast. Now it sells slow usually, and I have mainly stopped posting it. Making more money from the copper ore than I can off selling critted jewelry.

Hey server buddy

I stopped selling jewelry on Vilya for the same reason you mentioned... it just wasn't moving anymore. I think the problem may be that people aren't playing endgame so much, they are leveling up alts. But not everyone wants to buy jewelry for leveling alts when there are nice quest items. Add to that all the folks with jeweler alts and the ease of making the newer recipes and you lose a big chunk of the market.

You can still sell stuff, but the boom times are in a bear market ATM I find that cooked goods, ore, and hope tokens sell the best. But even then, I don't sell too much of that stuff (I keep it for my own use and sell some excess to help offset costs).

Melee crit earrings from Loth are good sellers still...

Yea, Bracelets are total nerf

Don't even get me started on the Tac crit rings.

Just ugly over all.

i crafted an old dawn rose ring before the nerf and still have it. not sure what to sell it for. i figure it would carry a premium over the new nerfed ones.

the problem is finding a market.

There are lots of new people in starter areas so there should be a good market for low priced copper and silver jewelry.

Then again you may have to compete with a bunch of them selling a 9s copper ring, so would that be worth your trouble and time?

copper/silver jewelry isn't what it used to be, THAT was a nerf. What used to give +9 vit now gets +13 morale... I used to craft jewellery for my alts just because of the stat increases made soloing so much easier. Now, its not worth it till at least artisan.

I can still sell aureate jewellery on the AH for a decent price (3-5g) on Nimrodel when I bother to craft.
