I have a LW who I would gladly spend the gold on RoU (MMB); except that you have to do that ten quest chain to get to where you could spend RoU. Or at least you did, who knows now. Trivial I know, but doing it one more time on yet another character drops it from my "go do" to my "I should do this sometime but doubt I ever will" listHaguhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726885305104254286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-76793631978988561522010-10-22T17:49:06.931-05:002010-10-22T17:49:06.931-05:00After Cataclysm releases, I liken these to Argent ...After Cataclysm releases, I liken these to Argent Dawn rep turn ins. I used to farm Stratholme a lot trying to get that damn mount (still don't have it), and I'd accumulate a ton of Crypt Fiend Parts and Bone Fragments in the process. I would post them in stacks of 30. My price has been 1g 25s each, so round 38g for the stack, and I'd sell about 10 stacks per week.<br /><br />I think the Relics of Ulduar will probably sell, but probably not in large quantity, and maybe not at very high prices. Also, I think there will be more competition for a while then I faced with the Strat rep items. Most people who run Strat probably vendor that stuff, but I'd bet people hang onto the Hodir rep stuff because it's been an AH commodity for a while, which will keep supply high in the short term.<br /><br />To Uriul's point above, I don't agree at all. There's just too many other good things to spend JPs on that you can't get for gold. Not to mention the value just doesn't compare.<br /><br />16 JPs = 520 rep. So to go from Revered to Exalted would be 40 tokens. That's 640 JPs. I think I saw somewhere that Bracers are 347 JPs. Gloves are 695. To give them a gold value, comparable BoE epics might sell for 5k (yeah, that's pure speculation, I realize).<br /><br />On the flipside, 10 Relics of Ulduar give 650 rep. That's roughly 33 turn ins to go from Revered to Exalted. So assuming 1g each for the Relics, that's a whopping 330g. When compared to the value of JPs, you'd be pretty foolish to spend your JPs on rep tokens.<br /><br />Ok, I just spent way too much time analyzing this...Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023024842593901746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-14405048167331791342010-10-22T17:09:06.044-05:002010-10-22T17:09:06.044-05:00I don't think this will work at all.

For 16 justice points, you get a token for 520 rep points.<br /><br />While currently justice points are in high demand, by the time the relics would be worth something justice points will be plentiful, and 16 isn't very many. Cataclysm heroics will give 75 PER BOSS - so a single heroic could give you upward of 10,000 rep.<br /><br />So unless they remove those tokens (and I don't see why they would), the relics won't be valuable.Uriulhttp://www.uriul.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-6093629979327428662010-10-22T12:23:57.532-05:002010-10-22T12:23:57.532-05:00I think this will probably make some gold if you b...I think this will probably make some gold if you buy them cheap enough, but it'll be somewhat risky, and not likely to make a large amount. <br /><br />Worth trying, but I wouldn't stockpile too many, as I don't think they'll move all that fast.The Gnome of Zurichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203965173625552516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-40282641613749278432010-10-22T09:04:04.949-05:002010-10-22T09:04:04.949-05:00I haven't thought of that before, so I love th...I haven't thought of that before, so I love the idea! Thanks, Dahmek.<br /><br />I feel like the market would be so small for the relics that they would take forever to sell. I have other things I want to buy currently that I think could provide similar returns, or only 50-100% returns but flip much faster.<br /><br />I would think that the achievement-seekers are going to have all these new achievements to focus on, and most of the collectors already have exalted with Hodir on their main toon. There's going to be new quests, new mounts, new dungeons, new reps, new achievements...so everyone will get back to Hodir, but it's going to shoot down the priority list.Umbrellacorphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881056887579737230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-27842831735247638082010-10-22T07:21:11.299-05:002010-10-22T07:21:11.299-05:00Based on the shattrath rep items I'm going to ...Based on the shattrath rep items I'm going to say that I believe this won't work. However, with any type of speculation you have to measure your risk vs reward. Have an extra 2k gold to spend on relics? Go for it.Markcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403848164475495092noreply@blogger.com
