We at Exalt had an idea to play around with collecting Ecto Drops and when we were asked why, i jokingly said we will use them for a training hall, then i stopped to think about it and realized it could be done so we started doing it organized. We had all our guildies donating and we also got big donations for From Hell guildies, Cartel and some friends of Exalt, I thank you all for making this trade happen and make sure to come to our opening party this weekend!

Trade was 120,000 Ecto Drops for 1 Million Crowns ( Training Hall costs 980K ), trade was done between Zeeca and Legobuild who now has 180K ecto drops.

Thank you Lego for the trade and thank you all for donating and please do join us this weekend for the opening party!

Wait a minute, who would even buy 120k ecto drops?

my 2 cents

Wait a minute, who would even buy 120k ecto drops?

Legobuild... obviously...

No but in all seriousness, I saw you at Haven 1 and I thought it was a scam... I mean... 120k ecto drops... o.O

>.<

But then again people will almost give them to you since they are worthless

hmmmm. Legobuild knows how to buy

What there really worth:
1 ecto drop = 1 crowns
120,000 ecto drops = 120,000 crowns

What they go for in Auction House:
1 ecto drop = 10 - 15 crowns
120,000 ecto drops = 1,200,000 - 1,800,000

What Legobuild got:
1 ecto drop = 8.333 crowns
120,000 ecto drops = 1,000,000 crowns

they saved a safe average of half a mil crowns. well done.

what they are gonna do with it? resell it at lower bulks or horde it for the heck of it?

It's for rage crafting...maybe...

Let me see what needs them...

They'd either be rage crafting any Skelly item, Electron/Graviton Vortexes, or...Static Edges?? Ha that would be funny...if they turned ALL of those drops into Static Edges...how many would that make?

60,000 swords, I think. O.o
Oh, and you'd need 180,000 Blue Shards as well...

okay. lets continue

If they made Static Edges.....:
3 Blue Shards + 2 Ecto Drop + 10 Energy = 1 Static edge
1 Static Edge sold to NPC : 300 crowns

180,000 Blue Shards + 120,000 Ecto Drop + Energy (profitable if they just use Alts Mist energy or a guildie buys 7,500CE with 20USD) = 60,000 swords
60,000 swords sold to NPC = 18 million crowns

overhead: 18,000,000 crown profit - [1,000,000 in ecto drops + about 1,200,000 in blue Shards] = 15,800,000 crown revenue

If they have the time, they can get a WHOPPING 15.8 MILLION CROWNS PROFIT!
Waste 1,000,000-2,500,000crz to get 15,000,000-18,000,000crz. O.O

p.s. i feel like i did a mathematical mistake, theres no way they can get that much by selling static edges. Double Check please!

Anything is possible when you have over 1,000 copies of the same item, even if it's a 1* item...

All the same...WUT?

I like math. Let us begin.

Needed: 3 Blue Shards + 2 Ecto Drops + 200Cr + 10 Energy = 1 Sword.
What you get: 300Cr from a Vendor.

Factor in the 120,000 Ecto Drops (120,000 / 2). Gets you a coefficient of 60,000.

Result: 180,000 Blue Shards + 120,000 Ecto Drops + 12,000,000Cr + 600,000 Energy = 60,000 Swords.
Resulting Monies: 18,000,000Cr.

Costs:
Blue Shards: 180K @ (I don't know, say...) 20Cr = 3.6Mil
Ecto Drops: 120K @ loldontcare = 1Mil
Crowns: 12Mil
Energy: Variable. Assume 600,000 CE @ 7K per 100 CE = 42Mil
...
Better to assume gradual use of Mist or usage of real-world monies.
Total Cost(w/o Cr-bought CE.): 16.6Mil
Total Profit: 1.4 Million Crowns.

@ Canine-Vladimir You forgot the 200 cr that's required to craft. 200 cr + 10 ce + mats

Did you? o.O

More math. Because I like math.

Mist Energy will Result in X Mist-days needed. (Mist-days are the time it take to get a full mist tank: 22 Hours)
600,000 / 100 = 6000 Mist-Days needed. * 22 Hours = 132,000 Hours = 5500 Days = ~15 Years
(Don't forget the initial Mist-Day used.)

CE Bought W/ Real Monies: 20,000 @ $59.94 w/ limit of $200 a month = 60,000 Ce for $179.82
600,000 CE / 60,000 Ce per month = 10 Months = $1,798.20
(Ignoring 100 Mist)

Addiction is a terrible thing.
