Title: Heirloom Changes and the Market
Post by: Grumbs on April 03, 2014, 04:36:04 pm
How do you think things will change?

+3 items become worth 2 loompoints only since +2/+1 got more valuable
People might loom their armour/legs/head to +2 rather than sell their loom points and buy a +3.
We might get more items on the market so it becomes more of a trading market than trying to rip people off.
Loompoints will become cheaper because people don't need to loom to +3 but price will spike for next couple weeks because people want to make new stuff

Anyway its a good change imo, eventually I'll probably just have +2 armour and a load of +2 weapons

I don't care if there's any difference at all between +2 and +3, I would still upgrade it to +3. I guess it's some kind of completionist obsessive-compulsive type thing. It would bug me knowing I can still upgrade an item, even if it only changed names from 'balanced" to "masterwork."

Also I have retired many times and I rarely trade anything other than one +3 for another +3. Any loom points I get from retiring I save to make +3 items that are rare or never available on the marketplace. I don't think the marketplace is going to change much for me.

My guess would be, if anything, you will see +1 items selling for a little more than chump change, like they are now.

My +3's are still better than their +2 counterparts.

And that's why the market probably won't change at all.

The new patch changed the stats of +1 and +2 heirlooms. Many items get bonuses earlier, compared to before when they would get the bonus at +3. Stats on +3 items have not changed.

+2 items used to be the best deals on the marketplace (I've gotten several +2 items for ~1LP), I imagine they will be priced at roughly 2/3rds of a +3 item now.
