Anyone selling collectibles/crafting mats?

I know most people are trying to sell/buy boxes but I am not really interested in those. I actually enjoy playing the game ( I know, I know) and one of my favorite things is crafting shit. Especially Cannith crafting but holy fuck, the collectible requirements per craft is an insane grind.

So, I would like to buy large amounts of collectibles/crafting mats in general if anyone is selling. Hell I'd buy some boxes as well if that gets someone motivated to sell them. Smiley

I left the game shortly before the mass dupe fest unfortunately so I missed out but I am back now and want to cheat my way to victory like the rest of you.  Grin

Feel free to PM if you're interested in selling, thanks!

The DDO Store is selling collectibles and essences, no duping required.

Fact of the matter is: the method that was closed recently cost about 5,000 DDO points per dupe, making it only remotely economical for high-value items. No one bothered duping collectibles/essences because they are so easy to farm or so cheap to buy that it was pointless.

Sorry, bro, but thats your vendor: SSG.

Well sure, the latest method probably cost money but the mass dupe fest of 2014 cost nothing and was widely available to all and I am sure there were some people that duped thousands of collectibles at that time and might have some extras to part with still.

Worth a shot anyway, especially considering one of the people selling boxes already said they'd sell collectibles and other mats if there was enough interest.

Said "mass dupe fest"(or "dupapalooza" as we called it) happened long before the cannith crafting update, at a time when crafting was considered worse than useless by most and people were vender-trashing essences. There were *maybe* six collectibles worth duping back then, all of which are not useful or super common today?

Fact is few if any people bothers to dupe essences way back then, and the ones that did aren't still playing. No bothered to dupe now because doing so cost more than buying from DDO store.

Its always worth a shot. You asked, I answered.

Frankly, speaking as someone who does craft, the collectibles grind really isn't all that bad. Essences are the bigger grind. When you level crafting most of your leveling will be making ML shards, which only cost cannith essences. If you need some tips for farming essences there's a few easy ways.

Even if someone did, you would need to let them know what server.

Shit, I didn't really think of that. You're right, collectibles were indeed useless back then except for a select few so it would make sense that no one duped them. That sucks because the collectible grind is where I am stuck. I did find a pretty good post on where each collectible has the best chance to drop so I guess I will start there.

My crafter is lvl 350 already because he was max level before I left which was before the revamp and I had 1000s of essences stored up because I have always enjoyed crafting so I just converted them and used them to get to 350.

Now I just need the collectibles to actually craft the items I want for each character. Maybe I will just take this as a sign to stay on the straight and narrow path of holiness and not cheat. haha

My will is not strong though so if anyone wants to sell, I'm still interested.  Grin

At 350 you should be able  to craft everything.

About 1000 DDO points(less if you wait for a sale) spent on collectibles crates will give you a good chunk of the way there. Also obvi get in the habbit of kitting every node as you play.

I like a wizard as a dedicated collectibles farmer but mostly because the ghostly glide of an undead shroud is the coolest one to watch for hours on end. Also DDoor and Knock.

Possibly the one really useful page of the DDO Wiki:

https://ddowiki.com/page/Collectable_farming

Tells you exactly where to find every collectible in the easiest spot. And yes the diffs matter. Three I have the biggest problems with:

*Ornate Charm - Desecrated Temple of Vol Epic Casual. Still a PITA to farm but you can basically run right to the collectible, DDoor out. You'll get a shitload of Brass Censures.

*Crypt Moth - Breaking the Ranks Epic Casual you do not have to fight a single mob, just go in, hit the node, out, reset, repeat. Fairly high drop rate but you need a ton of moths.

*Runic Parchment - Mad Tea Party Heric Normal, also fun because you can hit 2 nodes without starting a single fight. The drop rate is low but its easy.


Again collectibles are a pain in the ass but not a big enough one that anyone bothers to dupe.
