    Hi all,

    Seeing as we have the new plot, BD items have rocketed up in price.

    Would it be a good idea to AB at BD shops? Especially those shops with HTS items, will they be easier to sell now?

    Or is it a bad idea due to increased competition?

    Thanks

    Increased competition and if you beat one of the "omg im the best" people and then they see it for sale you'll likely get reported and iced anyway.

    The items that are HTS, especially the R99 species items won't become easier to sell during the BD event as weapons are bought for their usefulness. If they're useful, they won't be HTS normally. Most BD weapons are useless, with much cheaper substitutes. Which ones did you have in mind?

    Agreed. Most BD items that are HTS only have a high value because of their rarity; not because they're great in the battledome. So, honestly, the plot won't help you sell these HTS items. They will still be HTS because they're still not going to be useful in the battledome. But, if you happen to get some good item, like a Thyora's Tear or something along those lines.. which are expensive and useful.. It may be easier to sell.

    Like everyone has said, R99 items usually aren't that good when it comes to actually being helpful in the BD because cheaper items are better(for the most part) so why pay more for something that you get less value(fighting wise). People just put the R99 in galleries and parts of collection. Once a HTS always a HTS :)

    Oh, so Thyora's Tear isn't retired? I thought it's worth hundreds of millions of NP already.

    Nope. Its r99 though and still worth a helluva lot. I remember reading someone say that it RSed in the attic a few days (weeks) ago? I wasn't online though. :back:

    Is it possible to AB such items from the shop wizard? And if so is it profitable?
