Clarification on Living Elements TransmuteFollow

Yeah if I had a JC'er or a miner that could supply the gems for me to make the Truegold without buying the mats I totally would. But as it stands now my best profit maker is the elemental transmute.

That's the damn truth. Last time I looked, for my server, Truegold was selling for just over the cost of mats, so procs were the only profit.


Anyway, I wanted to post a thought I think might be relevant to this thread.

Consider the following patch notes.

Quote:
--The number of herbs required to create flasks has been reduced, while the Volatile Life needed has been increased slightly.
--Alchemist's Stones for Agility, Strength, and Intellect have been added. <Pold's Note: All three take 50 Volatile Life>

I have a feeling that the cost of VLs will go up significantly in the near future, so it'll definitely be time to reevaluate your profit making potentials.

On the other hand, yay for new Alchemist Stones! Smiley: yippee

Its like the game is reading this thread. Air went up to 42g each last night, so I'm running to Uldum now and transmuting Air.

For what its worth, mats for Truegold are 10 each of Fire, Air, and Water, and 3 Pyrium bars. Of course, you can transmute the Pyrium bars but that's on the same CD, so you really have to buy them but on my server they fluctuate between 11 and 14g each.

Yeah after doing the transmute for a friend last night I realized I was getting the shadowspirit diamond and truegold mixed up. =x I'll have to double check the price of the pyrium bars on my server. If they're that cheap than the truegold might be a good profit after all. Especially now that I'm plum out of volatile lives from not doing any farming the last couple weeks.

Truegold is getting flaky on my server, price is going all over the place but the ultimate trend seems to be down.

SP diamonds are now selling for less then the cut gems, which is nice, as it gives me the excuse to cut them on my JC for skill points.

Pyrium bars are pretty cheap, 33g or so each, but the price of volatiles is so high that I'd have to go farm lives, use three transmute CD's to change them to the correct ones, and then make the truegold bar for a profit. Not entirely sure if I want to do that or not, I'll have to do some calculations on how much profit I make off of the different volatiles.

If the volatiles are so high that you need to farm them is it more profitable to simply sell them?

Exactly. That's what I have been doing and why I don't bother trying to make a truegold bar to sell.
