Looking to trade my 150 drops on baja for yours on chessy or other american shards. Need epps (human ) and dexxer arms, have enough for 3 shards for now
Did not realize epps are 100 drops, changed it accordingly
thank you @Duran for pointing it out

A character transfer token is less than 20 dollars. I don’t see an end to these events. Might be time to bite the bullet. Unless of course the amount of time to get them on Baja is half the time to get them on the shards you want. In which case, I can see your trade rate going drastically down depending on the shard you trade for. I mean let’s call a spade a spade.. 100 items on a dead shard is worth 50% less if not more than 100 items on an even semi populated shard.

Probably wouldn't have a full suit there since parts of it are likely shard bound

Because say if you wanted to give me 100 items on Baja. I would give you 15 on Atlantic. The competition on active shards is far greater than Baja. Good luck man. Sorry I derailed your thread.

*edit. I’m going to remain cordial because this isn’t unleashed, but in response to your I love how people share their unwanted opinions comment… I love how you are trying to take advantage of the few people that aren’t smart enough to realize how terrible of a deal that is. Period.*

I completely understand your reasoning here but 75% of the time 2 months after event your logic is wrong . As someone who plays and travels many shards ppl on lesser pop shards don't farm a ton more than they need so trying to find items you need from a previous event can be near impossible without paying a premium . Whereas on atl there is enough to keep a market cap on prices because someone has some they will sell for less if price gets too high.... I'll give examples right before demonic event ssi Epps on atl were getting sparse and were going for 750-800 a month later event started I bought a pair for 175 . Hci earrings after fire event before fey event was press released you could get them for 250ish on atl which had gone up from 200 on catskills I personally know (one being mine) 6 pairs of earrings that sold for 500-750. There is also opposite logic here some Asian shards for example do over farm items and don't have the demand to keep up atl relative prices on Asuka right after demic event I grabbed a bone armor and ssi Epps for 250 together. On izumo I recently bought a garg pair of ssi Epps for 60m. The thing is it's not about pop shard vs dead shard it's economics it's about supply and demand

I love it. But I’m a little lost on the logic. You’re throwing out a lot of numbers on a lot of different shards. But they don’t add up to coherency in terms of transfers. If someone farms on a low pop shard, and needs to trade on a higher populated shard, that still doesn’t account for the fact that unless that low populated shard is their main, why not just transfer the toon that’s up to the event? Because you would have no reason to transfer if that’s your main. At the end of the day, it’s still a way to make money faster.

@Kuru the people who I intended this trade post know perfectly well the value of this particular trade, in fact, the items on Atl worth less then on other shards, so maybe I should offer you 15 of mine on baja for yours 100 on Atl? And again, this wasnt a discussion post, you either have 100 for mine of the same quantity or dont, please go comment somewhere else, and dont bring unleashed in here, i really wasnt interested in your opinion.
@Duran sent you request on discord, thank you

I was just stating that this isn't always true , but in doing so i provided examples that gave both sides of the story . Sometimes yes sometimes no , but strategically done, and not being someone who needs to sell a few 100 drops for the gold today, you can expand your profitability while making more than just having atl drops alone. This is because besides the liquidity of the items/drops , atl drops are usually worth less than 80% of others shards on a per drop value 80% of the time. You will get more per drop on atl day oneish, and sometimes the last days if people are scrambling. However look at the current price for drops on atl and then look at the current price on most any other shard. Atl drops always plummet in price mid event due to over farming. After the event when the item prices rebound those other shards are now asking a premium for same item which if was the asking price on ATL would be Laughable and this is where my logic stems from. Regardless, i was just attempting to expand your knowledge, and give the long term picture to the fact that sometimes your logic rings true, other times it does not. I was able to see value in this trade and trade was done. Its all good thats what this post was intended for was finding someone who would value the trade. I'm Leaving with this becuase its detrimental to the post to continue this back and forth here. However, what i don't get is , why spend whatever the cost of a xfer token is, assuming you don't have shields, when you can make a toon on a different shard for about the same price to get started getting some drops going. And before end of event do this at least 2 times even with no more of a budget than the cost of that xfer token and now you have 3 shards with toons that can do this.....which yields a much higher ROI than the 20$ bullet someone is chewing on.
