But I read on the german forum a thread where someone bought 35 supreme mats for 54 mill dappers by mistake (she used the extra storage "feature" and clicked on the wrong stack)

In the end, who cares. Just be careful when you buy mats.
Hehehe, just dont stock up 54Million, buy grind mats or give the cash away or to your guild. Man, 54 Million, what is the use???

Anyway, I like the temp storagething throught the hawker enough to test it myself someday. And indeed, simply check what you are buying...

Actually I would not fall for this scam, I am always broke, never have more then a few hundred K on me...

Grtz,

As a forager I know ppl who use the Hawkers and tbh its an exploit and needs the loop closing, also maybe a cap on sell percentage of say max 500%.

Now its out in the open Im sure it will get patched, when appears on the forums it usually does :)

I really don't see how anyone could fall for this.

My main point was that people are drying up the PR using this exploit. This is what should stop. Certain players are extracting every single mat they can get thier hands on in the PR without the need to travel pack to a town and thier packer.

Seriously, if they battled or sneaked thier way to the sources in the PR, foraged and filled thier bag, then had to TP to town to deposit materials in thier packers, and then make thier way back to the source in the PR (if they could be bothered by then).

This is how it should be done.

The quicker they close this exploit, the better.

Ahh ... I wonders why there was a few stacks of ql180 PR moon resin listed on the Pyr merchant for 60 billion dappers each! Now we know why :D

Using Hawlkers for transporting is wrong. Maybe if you could only buy back from the exact Merchant you sold it too would solve the exploit issue.

I also want to know why .....

In Pyr I can buy ql150+ stuff from a merchant, but in Tryker I have to go the Avendale! (Yes I know there are 4 raw mat merchants in Fairhaven I have tried them all)

Fyros does seem to be easy mode until lvl 200! For all game aspects

And does anyone know why there is no aggro in Zorai in the central region?

I know matis is nasty for the ql200 spot with harvesting and has the gingo/ragus issues.... but have you tried even harvesting for more than 5 mins in Bounty Beaches or Enchanted Isle (Lorai is ok for leveling mats but not if you want to make decent stuff).

I guess that the 'Story' may have alot to do with it .... but Kami TP seem to be aggro covered, were as Karavan ones seem to be in more friendly spots.

I guess we don't have enough lvl 150+ harvesters in Tryker that haven't just jumped to Lorai.... I have spent many hours scouting EI and BB..... why are these areas tougher than our lvl 250 zone? Seems odd to me.

Final thought - when they 'fixed' the Kitin invasion mob drops from 40/50 to 4/5 did they also lower all the other mob drops.....

Killed about 1000 izams yesterday, most only drop 1 mats and the rest said nothing to quarter. Any clues anyone?

Okee, so with more of my bliss ignorance I seem to have spoiled an exploit that *no-one* here seems to be using :D (which is just as well, I dont like exploits)...

Neun, my observations tell me that birds just drop little to none all the time, regardless the level. I shot some cloppers the other day and they all dropped neat 5 to 6 mats every time. I think the higher the aggro a mob is, the more mats. So not even the higher the challenge, lvl100 Izam also drops none to 2.

Must have something to do with the triangle between amount of aggroness, hitpoints and max damage a mob can do. So cloppers, little hp, high damage, very aggro, much mats, etcetc...

If by "central region" you mean the low lvl "Cities of Intuition" region where all the towns are located there is :p Ragus upto baying , Javin upto prime and three groups of bandits , I agree we dont have the mass quantitys of agro that the Tryker low lvl region does but then we dont have water near by to loose agro in either

Ta PJ :D my visits to Zoria are not as often a I would like... I just remember each time have been there that I only seen aggro on the edges. I made a mental not that Zorai would me a nice place to retire.

Routes travelled in Zoria, 2 out of 3 of the PR entrance ... and between all the TP/Town .... didn't meet one 'non-kincher' type aggro and I seemed to be able to walk round them quite easily....

On the subject of water .... yer its great living in a land were to get anywhere you use TP cas swiming at half run speed (this includeds mounts!) is just the best way to travel..... safe yes, quick I don't think so!...

I have had my mount since the patch and I am still to use my first bag of grain! (yes I do know how to make it run!)
