Gold|Brimstones and 1.0.4

[Trotz]

Whats your guess on Goldprices moving forward to 1.0.4? I know stuff like that is hard to tell but the fact that there will be dropped and crafted legendarys shoudl create a demand that wasnt seen for months?

Im also wondering what will happen with brimstones, unfortunataly i missed the post about crafted stuff getting buffed (logic dude logic ). Now my guess is alot of people miscalculate with brimstones. The Fact that more recipies will be worthwhile will not increase the production of those dramaticly. People enjoying crafting are already doing it and are limited by the post limit/the number of their accounts. But demand is definately going to go up in the long run, while supply might drop (depends on average quality of the drops). Now i guess prices will be rather stable/rise a bit till that patch hits, everybody is looking to make a buck. Once it hits market will be flooded but since most crafters will have stocked up too the demand should be pretty low. So my guess is prizes will drop at first and then slowly plateau at 300-400k? Do you think they will rise higher? Geeez should read the official page, that right there was money waiting to get picked up..

Nobody knows what the real value of brimstones is and nobody knows what it was because speculators have been buying them ever since Blizzard said that they would buff legendaries weeks ago. So I bought 15,000 below 90k. Maybe other speculators did the same and bought them below 100k which they were for months (on EU). It's very likely that we were the ones who kept the price so high in the first place. The demand for the two good legendary recipes available right now isn't that high. There is a real risk of a huge speculator created bubble that might pop the week after 1.0.4 since nobody has to look forward to anything after that might increase brimstone value.

I sold a couple thousand during the hype the last couple of days. I really doubt the people who bought for 200k+ will make a profit. Speculators and AH bots have hoarded probably hundreds of thousands of brimstones that they will try to sell once the patch hits. I've already experienced it during the big hype after the lengthy preview post. Trying to sell when they were @ 250k and higher was hard to impossible. So many people competing and undercutting each other. When I put just 50 someone would immediately undercut me. When I put up 500 or more the price would drop extremely. Like 300k to 190k within seconds. More stones were offered than there were buyers.

Why would you "invest" in brimstones? The price of gold has been dropping since the very beginning, turning even high gold profit investment into losses (dollar wise). Just dump as much gold as you can as fast as you can.

brim stones price is going really low and a daily downward spiral

my guess is Eetra is from the EU (ah he even wrote it). Gold prices seem to have found its bottom for weeks now. If you really were able to buy below 100k and dont hold on to them too long (my guess is this is a huge bubble at first and prices will rise after the patch pretty slow) there shouldnt be a problem doubling ones money. People go completly nuts even essences are getting horded, which makes very little sense. As i said i thing demand for materials will be going up but not nearly enough, and even then brimstones is the way to go not essences that drop with every crappy blue.

They were at 90k 2 weeks ago, now they are 240k. I wouildnt callt hat a "daily downward spiral"


Also, essences were at like 600 per, now up around 1400-1500, and even the yellow shits (lol?) were like 60 per are at around 120 per and the Tomes are closing in on 1k per. SO either alot of people got banned, people are buying up stock thinking prices are going to rocket up when patch hits, or my personal guess is that majority of the bots are making everything Vendor.

And as a reaction to the blogpost on new legendarys they are up to 400K, im really starting to wonder if im right with prices plummeting when the patch hits. Still havent stocked up

[thebossofham]

I haven stocked up either, i had about 44 brimstones today. Sold them all for 450k +

[Dyz]

I sold 50 at 450k. I bought at 90k. So even if they jump to 800k a pop, im still ok making 450% profit and dont feel bad.

Blizzard explained that they were changing the majority of set items as well and some of them would be renamed to a completely different set. With that being said I think Natalya's set will be removed from the game drops completely, reason being is that every demon hunter needs to have the 4 set bonus since it is so crazily overpowered. Just a guess though.

I think the price of the briemstones will just rise =)
