What (if anything) do you buy from the Black Lion Trading Company?

[Game of Bones.8975]

Do you stick to materials and items for everyday gaming (50g or less), do you go for the big time purchases (>100s of Gems)?

 

Nothing in the store looks even remotely good enough to buy.

[Goettel.4389]

QoL items and skins.

[Randulf.7614]

I used to buy almost everything during the first 4-5 years of the game.

 

Now...nothing really. The occasional skin, but that's maybe a couple of purchases a year. I can't really justify the prices anymore given I could use the money for actual full games and rpg books. Then again, the game also doesn't grab my time in the same way as it used to. Which is a combination of a dissatisfaction in the direction of the game and also a realisation Ive played it way too much anyway and I've prob burned out a little. I still play every week, but in short bursts. As a result, I feel less like I;m getting moneys worth out of things so highly priced.

- Items that are too annoying for me to get, such as those that require once a day materials (charged quartz crystal, Skyscale food, Growth Lamps, etc.)

- Cheap weapon and armor skins that I needed for the skin collection achievement

[Ayrilana.1396]

For me it’s QoL items. Always with gold.

gemstore: keys mostly. Buy the gems with real money. Occasionally a skin, if I really like it.

While I like to farm where ever I go, especially when bored, I am so glad there are others out there that sell their bounty.

My first character was a ranger (fav class from GW1) and I bought a few quiver skins (Rox's, the fiery one, the cool one, and that other one...you know that one with the special things that did nothing in-game). You know when the last time I showed a back item, let alone one of the quivers, was probably 3-6 months after the purchase.

 

If I had Warbringer (or Warcry) that might be a different story.

 

[Daddicus.6128]

Quality of life items. Bag and bank slots, character slots, shared inventory slots, garden plots, that sort of thing.

[Ashantara.8731]

I thought I'd buy an equipment loadout slot or two for Christmas, but against all expectations they aren't on sale, so I won't buy anything else from the Gem Store. I already own way too many mount skins, so any new mount skin licenses are of no interest to me, either.

[Frostfang.5109]

Outfits

Skyscale skins

Qol-items

 

 

[Gop.8713]

Can't tell if the op is asking about gem store or tp, but gemstore it's always storage, and only when I have gold I can't find a use for and gem prices are low. TP it's just kind of w/e. I have buy orders in on dyes and skins rn, just bc they're cheap and I don't have them . . .

[Batel.9206]

Gemstore: character slots, when I actually have the gold to convert to gems...they're so expensive, even on sale. But, as an incorrigible RP-wannabe and altoholic, I can never have enough. I'd *like* to buy mount skins[1] and outfits, but it's either that or character slots, so...

 

Trading post: dyes...occasionally gear (usually for the skins, not the actual gear itself)...that's about it.

 

[1]Problem is, the one mount skin I *really* want is locked behind that first RNG-only license. Boo. :( Oh well.

[Ashantara.8731]

I forgot to mention that another reason why I won't buy any more mount skins is the insane pricing for the selection ones. You'd think stuff would be on sale during Christmas, but noooo...

[Danikat.8537]

Gem store: I've bought small amounts of lots of QoL things over the years, 8 character slots, 6 bank tabs, an extra bag slot for my main character...But I probably spend more on mini pets, mount skins, outfits and other cosmetics. Only things I don't buy are consumables like transmutation charges or revive orbs, I get enough of them from in-game sources.

 

Trading post: whatever I want and can't be bothered farming. I recently bought literally thousands of mithril and elder wood for the Claw of the Khan-Ur, and gem stones for the amalgamated gems. I buy mini pets when I'm not saving gold for a big purchase, and go through phases of buying dyes or skins.

[Super Hayes.6890]

Happiness!

[otto.5684]

I probably spent 4-5k gold changing to gems and buying stuff from the store.

 

I do not have anything that I currently want to buy from the store. I already have a couple of glider and mount skins. I will not buy any additional ones. I very rarely buy outfits.

 

I want to buy more shares slots. I already have 9. So it is an unneeded luxury. I would buy armors, if they are ever added.

[Elothar.4382]

Mostly utility items (primers, XP buffs, perpetual gathering tools, etc.) and vanity items (glider skins, selected mount skins, maybe a weapon skin or two). When they are on sale, I might pick up a few character slots or bag slots. I've maxed out my bank tabs and shared slots. Otherwise, I just keep an eye out for new things.

[Funky.4861]

BL keys and mount skins i think are what i buy mostly from gemstore (usually RL money). From the TP i tend to only buy things if i'm making a lege and i'm a bit short on mats, otherwise i use it to flip items for variable profit.
