Market Tips

💡 Check the marketplace before crafting — it's often cheaper to buy mats than gather them yourself at launch.
  • 📈 Sell refined over raw — Processed materials almost always sell for more per unit than raw nodes.
  • 📈 List at peak hours — List sellable items in the evening when player traffic is highest to sell faster.
  • 📈 Undercut strategically — Undercut by 1 gold, not 10%. You still get near-max price but clear faster.
  • 📈 Scarcity windows — First 2 weeks after a patch, new materials are scarce and prices are 3-10× normal.
  • 📈 Storage network — Use Node Manager to link storage across towns so you can craft from remote stash.
