20 grim tokens for 1 philoso feather @ brinks. will probably drop price of feathers to ~10-15k

Grim tokens are still pretty hard to get, aren't they? 20 still seems like a lot.

Fixed. I see you spam constantly.

Seriously? You went from 25 to 20 on Gel Drops?

As far as Blue Shards for 75, this is probably what they're worth to more experienced players. But it is very easy for me to sell them for more to new players crafting their cobalt stuff. 150 might be a bit too much, but I wouldn't go under 100 with them. If a player turns up their nose at 100 or 125, you can always negociate a better price.

You can get them on undead levels. You just don't see a lot because primals are more common and drop on all the beast levels, of which there are an infinite amount.

I dont see what they want to achieve with the trade chat channel. Sure, now people can talk bullshit even more globally in haven, across all the instances..

Just give me the AH already, thanks D:

The trade channel is not global. It works just like the old channel, except now you can basically choose whether or not you want to subject yourself to trade advertisements.

It's weird. Chatter, even on trade channel, has been reduced dramatically from what I've noticed. I don't know if there is a ghost filter in place or something like that where you can only spam at a certain rate.

I think they know people want the auction house but it will take time. This is a step in the right direction at least.

Your prices are way overpriced. You're ripping people off and it's only hurting the game's economy the new players who don't know any better. I could go into detail but I don't have the time this morning.

http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/forum/41 Compare your prices to there (check the mat threads).

Anyway, I'm completely addicted to this. Just love it!

What I meant is that /1 is now open for the bullshit chat that goes on in the different Haven instances, now that trade chat has its own channel.

Both channels are global across Haven instances, though.

No, they are not. I used to use the original channel constantly and now I'm using the new trade channel constantly. Compare the chat in Haven 1 to any instance that has a green population.

A lot of the people who use the forums on the spiral knight website have to sell their mats super cheap to get any exposure. They're often bulk sellers or they're people with stock they're desperate to get rid of.

My prices aren't just values that I've pulled out of my ass. In fact, I have used the forums to derive many of my prices in addition to the opinions of guildmates and my own personal experience of what people are willing to pay. And because prices on mats are constantly falling, I am always adjusting my prices downward as time goes on. And I have dropped my price on blue shards to 100.

And why do you get people from other Havens answering your WTS spam, then? Think about it a little.

Here's some info at least I didn't know.

Recipes for different gate types! I gotta stop auto-selling minerals.

I only get people from other Havens answering my WTS spam when I move from instance to instance, in order to ensure that more people see my WTS spam. Otherwise, I only get tells from people within my same instance.

About 80% of the time, my buyers are in the same instance that I posted my most recent ad in.

If you want, we can very easily test this the next time you are on, and I can prove to you that these channels are not global.

Just jumping in on this to see how this plays. Been looking for a casual style game like this for a while, lets see how it goes!

Quick question for those in the know:

If I want to upgrade a piece of equip, should I level it to lvl 10 first? Or does it not matter?

LOL. What a bunch of dicks. :3

Regardless keep getting dem yellows and greens. King Jelly run forever!!!

Actually, the boss floors will automatically set themselves and don't need any crystals. Check some of the empty gates sometimes, and if it says something about levels being predetermined, that's a boss floor.
 
Basil is seriously starting to piss me off. All week of running him twice a day looking for 3 specific recipes. Not a damn thing. By time I actually get my tier4 equipment made, I'll be so burnt out of this game, and it will be all Basil's fault.

I don't like doing it, but if you already have all the materials ready, just buy them from other people.

Interesting, so if the whole community work together we could have an all Jelly palace gate?

also fuck challenge room, me and zealousd went in one and got fucked up bad. I ended up using ce to revive up to the point when the next time I died would be 160 to revive.

No, you couldn't. The Jelly King is predetermined. If you check the upcoming Coral Phantom gate, you'll see that it says "levels are predetermined at this stratum". That means the Jelly King will be at that gate when it pops up.

also fuck challenge room, me and zealousd went in one and got fucked up bad. I ended up using ce to revive up to the point when the next time I died would be 160 to revive.

Somehow I managed to solo that same room earlier today, although the gremlins didn't have that shield on their back and there was one or two fewer waves. You can sort of kite them around with a gun, although it becomes difficult when you have a healer gremlin in there.

Suffice it to say, you shouldn't mess with challenge rooms unless you've got a full party with sufficient health potions.

I find solo/duoing danger rooms a lot easier than with a full party. As long as you can avoid getting cornered it is a lot easier to thin the herd since you can 2-6 shot most of the mobs. Once you cut their number down it's just a matter of kiting them. With 4 people it takes 8-24 hits to kill mobs and can become unmanageable when people start to kite in different directions.

Yeah, I love doing the challenge rooms solo. Mind you, I'm only on tier 2, but it's usually easy enough to run around in circles dropping bombs and thinning out the crowd. Healers sometimes make things difficult, but a couple charged sword attacks take them out most of the time.

I guess the biggest reason I had trouble with doing a challenge room solo was that I was doing a room with wolvers and gremlins. Not only do those characters dodge my alchemer, but they resist it too. If I had something like silversix, I'd probably do better.

Right, I think it comes down to weapons a lot. Fire bombs helped a ton with that particular challenge room, but I got screwed when I tried a room that ended up being those slimes that get faster when they catch on fire.

Just started playing a couple days ago (ID: Chozo). Just finished my Defender so I can finally get access to tier 2.

The skyrocketing cost of energy is killing me. 4.5kish for 100 right now, ugh. I know every F2P game has to have its Faustian bargain, but having to wait until I get 70ish energy to make dungeon crawling remotely worthwhile kind of sucks.

Indeed. Fire bombs are extremely useful as you run and wide sweeping weapons like the Faust add that needed range and pushback, plus enemy knockdown.

It's not free to play. It's a game with a very long demo. =P

Somebody was doing a price check on a UV Vile Striker (High DMG vs Slime). I told him I'd buy it and to just name his price, but he didn't bite. :(
