Talk:Mountain Troll Tusk

Question about "the market"
Why exactly are there people buying these things en masse at Droknar's Forge? The article isn't very clear on the money-making trick they're trying to use. --130.58 02:03, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Of the items listed there, I would think the Death Magic staff is the most valuable. Quick cast and recharge in death is almost a must if you'll be a minion master worth his bloodstained boots. I don't understand the overall market for them though, it's not like there are that many minion masters. --Karlos 02:14, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * The market works like that: quite a few farmers get thousands of these things from the trolls in the cave. There isn't a collector for these on the way back to Droknar's Forge, so it's common to sell them to someone for a reasonable price, let's say 12g. That's 4g per piece more than the Merchant would give for a tusk. The one who bought the tusks then redeems them for Collector Items that sell for 125g at the merchant earning 13g per tusk (5*12g spent = 60g, 125g for selling the collector item, 65g made for a clever trade). It sounds somewhat like industrializing the money making...


 * In other words: collect a ton of these, do the simple run to get the item yourself, and come back with a lot more gold from farming. Correct? --130.58 03:03, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * yep, Merin Trollsbane is your guy. its best to go with the W/Mo Bold Forge Runner running set here as there are Stone Summit Hertics and they make Mending hurt as I found out. I don't even have "Charge!" yet, so it is perfectly do able as long as you have the full 200 AP. --Jamie 03:10, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Ah, yes, the guy I get all my swords from! Trivial run as long as you don't get lost. --130.58 03:37, 11 April 2006 (CDT)

Someone was buying these for a maximum of 19g each and commented on making a profit. Therefore I'm thinking that there must be a better collector or some way to make more money than what is listed here. How could they buy the troll tusks for 19g and make gold on a 13g sell? Anyone have any idea of how this market works? -Stexe
