I don't understand why so many people stall weapon elixirs in Jangan/Donwhang/Samarkand/Const. Mostly Samarkand and Donwhang. Why don't they just spend 5k to teleport to Hotan and they can sell the weapon elixirs for at least 100k more than what they were originally stalling them for.

For example on Ecsro I saw some people stalling weapon elixirs in Donwhang for 400k each, but in Hotan they were being stalled for 700k+ each. So why not just use 5k to go to Hotan and make 300k+ profit?

Maybe that's how it is on ECSRO, not on ISRO... I just started playing again a few days ago, and as far as I can see, any city but Hotan is pretty much empty of stallers most of the time, or at least that's how it is on Mercury...

Well, on all the iSro server that I have been on, the same thing happened. Usually I leave messages in their stalls telling them to go to Hotan :P

I have also thought of that , but think of the lag because some people probably can't enter that laggy town and they might prefer the other towns because their computer can handle it.

I'm sure they can teleport there and then go to a secluded area and just sell them via stall network, no one looks at stalls anymore anyway

If the person is a lower level (let's say... 32) and he got a few drops and elixirs from grinding and he wants to stall them all together, it would be pointless to stall his d4/d5 drops in Samarkand and then scroll to Hotan to stall his elixirs. Why can't he just stall everything together?

Hmm, dunno about you but I see stalls all the time that ONLY have 2 or 3 elixirs in them...I was referring to those kinds of stalls :P

If it bothers you that much, buy all those elixirs and stall them in Hotan for a profit. How cool is that? :shock:

I do, and from what i have seen, so do alot of other people. I look in them for bargains, such as things i would search the stall network for. Low level sosun ect.

OT: I find most of the gold botters sell elixers cheaper in DW, so thats where i check first if i need them

Instead of posting again... @ The person below me;

I remember when i first started playing, i thought the 20k npc price was like a guide price, so i sold them for about 10k each.

expensiver elixir means less ppl will buy
if he has 5 pages of elixir in storage, he'd probably choose the method "sell cheaper and faster"

I hate to generalize, but the elixirs are cheaper in dw and jangan mainly because the people there are below lvl 40 dont have much gold to there names and havent ventured to hotan yet. So they price around what they think it is, and as we know lower levels are sometimes a bit newbie, they dont know that they could make a bigger profit going to hotan, or possiably trying to capture the player base that travels to dw to pvp.

Maybe these stallers want to give low levels a chance to buy elixirs? Low level players typically don't have millions of gold on hand to spend on tons of elixirs, and those elixirs are in lower demand, so sell lower in those markets.

It's not always about the profit. Just the other day I logged into Venice and bought out an entire stall with a couple 7D or 8D items in it and some other stuff just because I wanted to help out an old friend. I probably won't ever log back in to sell them, and if I do, I won't remember what I paid, so won't likely make a profit anyway.
