I' d say it' s not only supreme materials, it' s any type or grade of material. Given the right mix it is possible to create choice items that can easily equal it' s excellent equivalent and the same goes for excellent items vs supreme.
The problem I have to deal with as an armourer with the plans for all races is that I don' t have access to any regionspecific materials of a decent quality except for Lakeland materials which I can dig myself. With all the stocking going on at the vendors and the exuberant prices put on even a single piece of ql120 choice wood (talking about 18k a piece here and a stack of only 25 units) it really is becomming impossible to craft decent armours for all races' paterns unless I start reaching expert levels in all those regions, including PR harvest.
And this is not only showing an effect on vendors but personal customer-crafter sales too.

So the options left for me personally are:
1) craft solely choice and/or excellent Tryker armours and craft fine armours for the rest of the races; and we all know fine items aren' t that high in demand
2) contract harvesters to provide me with enormous amounts of materials which takes a lot of time
3) start leveling up all my regionspecific harvest branches which takes again a lot of time and will only decrease the amount of time I have I could be using to harvest Lakeland materials to create Tryker armoursets to put up for sale.

And mind you, this is only about choice materials I' m talking about! And I' m pretty sure I am not the only crafter suffering from this.


So imo, unless the stocking and overpricing of even the most basic of goods continues I doubt you' ll see many changes in the market. At any quality!

How does this sound... I am a digger and crafter, but my true passion is digging. I'll gladly throw up all the mats I dig on the vendors in Dyron for 2 weeks and see what happens. If the demand is there, I'll then throw up only 50% of the mats I dig and keep the rest for my greedy little self.

Most likely all will be 180+ Choice Jungle mats and markup at 100%. The types of mats will be whatever I have the hankering for that day, and will be put up as I come back with a full bag. The only thing I ask in return, is if ya see em, don't buy em all in one big lump. Leave some for the others that are in need

Thanks!

Might not get a tremendous number of purchases of jungle mats in Dyron.

Believe it or not, that is where I sold the most the quickest for jungle mats. I did the homework and performed a market test last week. Placed 100 of each amber, seeds, fiber, and resin in each region. What surprised me is that it took 5 days for it to sell in Zorai lands, and only 1 in Fyros.

Dyron also works better for me LOL... That be where Sally, Suzie and Sam stay parked

I regularly do world tours trying to buy the mats I need.

The most generously stocked shops are, in descending order...

Fyros
Tryker
Zorai
Matis (Where you're lucky to find anything at all)

Personally I think part of the problem is that most want supreme/uber items. If you can make that, you have little reason to sell at merchants, since you can easyly sell through orders.
And when homins have already have had supreme items, everything else is just not good enough. And if you can't make those items, homins find other suppliers/crafters.

I am quite happy with the items I can make from a mix of choice and excellent (only mats I have mostly, anyway). Any supreme I might acquire is regarded as heirlooms and mostly used for pure RP and "parade" events.

u might be suprised at wot rate the 28hpm swords and axes sell at the market. personly i thought most try to order it in orders, though this doesnt seem to be the case

to put this in perspective, i am not an uber level crafter yet. but this morning i put on Zorai markets:

4 full sets q180 white light armor
8 1h swords (2 of each q150-180)

all sold in about 6 hours. i think more people use markets that u might imagine, things can and do sell quickly.

also regarding boss mats, its not that hard to aquire. I went on a little boss hunt last week, we killed 6 or 7 over the day. As a digger in wastelands and US most of the bosses are up quite a lot (and i wish some of them werent as they are in the way xD). Some like the manda's and yelkoo are mega popular and get dropped instantly but there are lots of others. So no excuses for not having nice mats, get a team together and go grab them
