Tier 3 Auction House Price Guide

By Darkgolem

Tier 3 crafted items are really where items start to catch up to resources in value.  Especially in the case of metalsmithing and tailoring, you can make a lot of money selling these products if you reach mastery in tier 3.  Resources have somewhat of a weak performance compared to what you would expect for tier 3 items.  While scholar resources always sell well, this is more because of the very poor amount of available nodes for these than the value of scholar products.  On a busy weekend, among the resources, metals will go for the most, especially rich iron.  Hides do not go for as much as one would hope, because of the many creatures that drop sturdy hides that are necessary to defeat for deeds and quests, especially in the north downs.

Jewelry sells darn well at tier 3, though you need to (as usual) aim for the mastery items.  That can be a bit of a bother, the mastery items are not easy to get all the time.  But you usually can purchase some for not too unreasonable prices in the auction house, and turn a tidy profit.

Heavy armors are very profitable, making a few hundred silver per mastery item. You can easily get a horse and a house just making several sets of steel armor for the auction house.  Shields don't sell as well, but tools can make a steady profit.  Not as good as armor, but still steady.  For some reason, dwarvish armor sells better than other types, probably because the human armor looks kind of plain, though of course the stats are the same.
