Tier 5, what also is the skinny?

Somebody here has gotta be there, because I almost am. Cough up the info.

What info are you looking for?

Getting materials is the toughest part. If you have people that will harvest for you then you should do ok. Harvesting in Rivervale is very slow and tough, especially if there is someone else out there harvesting. There are some level 50's on my server that are mining for rares and $$ that I pay 5g for a stack of tier 5 materials to and its well worth it.

Alchemists on my server are pleantiful so I have no problems getting tempers, oils and resins. Things can be pricy, but work out trades for materials if possible. One stack of wood for 2 stacks of resins, etc.

Most people in the 40's are not looking for player crafted jewelry. The drops are just far too common and better then the non rare stuff we make. I do much better selling crude, shaped and normal items to the level 34-39's. I sell crudes for 4g, shaped for 6g and normal items for 8g each. Pristines are at 15g and I do sell a few here and there, but not nearly as much as the non pristine stuff.

As far as leveling goes it slows down a good bit in the high 40's. I would suggest doing nothing but refining and making interim items until you are 46-47. Make a few of each type and quality item so you can sell in merchant mode but then just refine refine refine while the xp is good. Its much better to do the refining now while you get good xp for the item then waste your materials on finished products now. You will need TONS of refined items to get xp at higher levels. At level 47 it takes me anywhere between 40 and 60 final products to get 10% xp. I had done nothing but refine from 40-47 and still will run out of refined items somewhere around 48.5.

Mainly curious about the stats, and what kind of dough you make. I've been harvesting in RV for a while already.

Okay, I know the stats now, still curious about the dough though. You make any money selling bands at 40?

Rings are by far the slowest moving items because of the Rhodium bands that drop off mobs in the mid 30's. By the time people are 41 when you can wear these, they have dozens of them. Sales of tier 5 jewelry are very very very slow because everything that drops is much better then what I can make. My only sales seem to come from lower quality items to 34+ crowd or from people where my pristine item may have better primary stats for them then the drops.

I did make a rare t5 ring yesturday, a ruby bracelet and the stats on it were tons better then the common stuff I make and better then the common drops so that was promising. I figured most of the stuff level 50's would want that I could make would be the rare items anyways.
