What are the best items to convert dkp to plat?

[DesideriumDreams]

Is there a master list anywhere that shows the average values for all high end droppables?
If you were wanting to convert dkp into plat what are the best ratio items to consider?
Considering time to sell, some items move faster than others.
Maybe best to dump it all on one big item or several smaller items?
Just looking to get some plat built up before blue green merge.

Each item is valued differently in different guilds. The value is generally based on the supply/demand at the time. So there isn't going to be a single sheet you can reference. You need to look at the DKP values for the specific guild you are in.

If you are in the biggest raiding guild, you could probably get an Amulet of Necropotence for cheaper than if you were in a smaller guild. In a smaller guild, that item is actually a pretty big piece because their range of killable targets is more limited.

Also, you probably aren't going to be getting the best of the best loot to sell, simply due to demand. For example, you probably aren't going to get Flayed Barbarian Skin Leggings. Not only are those expensive DKP wise, but many people bidding on them want to use them. So you will probably be spending more DKP on it than average. The guild may also prevent you from selling loot that good, because it incentivizes people to bid to sell, rather than to use.

That merge may not happen for years, if ever; you might be waiting quite a long time.

However, I will note that (like the Amulet DSM mentioned) Zlandicar Hearts are another popular item.

[Ghost of Starman]

It just depends on how much DKP you have vs others, what the DKP system of the guild is, etc. Sometimes you pick up a screaming bargain because your competition is saving DKP for a different big purchase. The wiki is (relatively) accurate on most items so you can use that as a gauge, typically most expensive items are easier to sell / have more demand than cheaper ones. For example, a Z Heart will be easier to sell than an Eye of Nirandi.

[Keebz]

Selling a bunch of 50-200k items is gonna take a while. 500-1000k items will likely be less dkp efficient but also less overall transactions.

I think something middle of the road like Helmet of Rallos Zek might be the sweet spot.

when you realize that 90% of guilds that has been formed on p99 banned the

selling of raid loot for plat but do it anyways

Most guilds don’t look highly on the active planning on spending dkp for plat conversion. I personally wouldn’t loot to sell because it’s not a great way to gear out a char unless you need a metric ton of plat for silly crap like beads.

I’m not sure why you need a spreadsheet to plan this out. We all know the extremely costly droppable items and where they come from. If it drops from a city leader or ToV dragon, can be traded (or the resulted quest item is) = a ton of plat.

Some guilds do, just depends. You can sell anything in Eclipse except epic bottlenecks.

Vanquish allows us to sell kunark drops minus epic things.

this is prob the best answer given trak / 3 day spawn...lots of chances to get it and decent odds of it going for a higher DKP : plat ratio

z heart, lady M boots / helm / gloves can be good too...just duck out if the bid war escalates beyond your taste

[Tongpow]

people figured out dkp to plat conversion for member retention like 10 years ago.
hope this helps you, and your family guild out.

Zlandi hearts, zlandi necks for example.


p.s i stop checking p99 forums tonight at midnight, still wtb white drag... THE white dragon scale cloak on blue before/if the merge happens. my trade offer is literally everything not on ekco

lodi belt, zek blade...etc..etc hmu or don't fuck you. ;P

This and most players are lazy/warm-bodies. DKP is much easier to warm-body accumulate than soloing or small-grouping to make plat overall. :cool:

I'd rather be a lazy / warm body (I play games to relax from the stress of having a real life), than a cheeto dust covered terminally online NEET poopsocking spawns and "making plays".

There is a middle ground. Not everyone has the capacity to be a leader / playmaker whos going to go out there and consistently get yellow text.

Anyone currently classified as a lazy warm body only has to be willing to log on cleric bots and follow the syntax for the CH chain to go from nearly useless to a legitimate contributor on the overwhelming majority of raid targets. You can literally copy your character and ui files, rename them from (yourchar) to (botname) and viola, you're no longer druid #9 waiting for that next potg request.

You can still log on as you see fit, rock a < 5% RA, and accumulate enough dkp to get some pretty sweet loot here and there.

Being comfortable piloting cleric bots as a bare minimum is sometimes a make or break, especially on unslowables and vulak with low numbers.

Agreed. Big guilds have a bot army, so you just need to be willing to learn and play the bot classes. Anybody who can do that is going to be leagues ahead of the people who just log in to their main regardless of what classes are needed and soak DKP.

for some historical accuracy here, being a warm body and getting jack shit, let alone raid gear is a very new concept, even years prior to you joining i don't think a single pixel fell from the clutches of 1-3 guilds and a revolving door between them and the same players for like i don't even fucking know when. i put in like 40 hours of tracking for my PD robe and ear when it still mattered back in the tmo days.

historical accuracy correction: "back in the tmo days" is when 99% of tmo you saw for 5-10 mins a week during pd and the rest of the time it was already Detoxx's guild of idiots and play makers

I’m not anti-farm. In the context of selling big ticket items most guilds have a better chance of sniping Magi than KT or Lady Mir.

But to take the bait, yes it’s a silly spend. It’s a good pet but the water can smoke its dps and the earth is more control. I’m very happy with my non epic mage and the 15 mins it took to get the water staff.

[Solist]

TLDR
Aow legs
KT Boots
Yeli Crown

Rest is far less plat return. Go nuts. No one will check if you have that same item in 2-3 months time. Guild a level 5 monk and buy them legs. Sell them in a few weeks. You’d be one of dozens who do so.

depends on the server era i guess, when i was playing ring war loot wasn't in my calculation of things to sell, if it was even allowed the dkp - > plat conversion would of been way less. ive seen crowns and necks n shit go for like twice what a Zheart was going for.

so, I'm way less sure about this statement now that you even brought up ring war loot as a option lol
