Alpha Trade Thread!


Pathfinder Online


Can we do this? Maybe even establish some sort of an economy.

I haven't traded at all in this game (even though I want to) because nobody ever responds. If you need something, post in here, if you have something you don't need, post in here. Don't leave me hanging, please. haha.

Right now, I am in need of salvage things: Dead prey, broken weapons, blood crystals. I have stuff to offer, but we will have to play go fish, I suppose.

Also, if there is a place for this on alpha forum... I apologize. I would prefer it here because I can't even log into GW the way my browser is configged. I have to use IE, which I don't like to do excepting to distribute invites or get a new installer.

I think we can benefit by assembling a list of what people have found or want (though there's a good chance it will become a worthless mess at some point). You can identify yourself or not, but at least it would give people a little hope (or frustration) that it is out there somewhere.. I'll try inserting a tab in the public spreadhseet, which people can use if they feel like it, and provide as much or as little detail as they like.

There, done. There's a Components Found tab and Components Wanted tab

Modify it as seems appropriate.


That looks awesome. How do you work it?

Seriously, we may as well start the economy before EE. The only issue is that copper is worthless, right? I have a bunch of coins, but since they can't be used for anything, they probably aren't a currency.

I am also ashamed of my collection of stuff. I am thinking it might be something everyone has. I will have to look over what I have that I deem valuable and put some of it up.

Edit: just type and click share?

Well its currently taking me 36 hours to make one +1 dagger so I might have 2 or 3 before Alpha finishes :D

I will trade this first one for any suit of medium or heavy armor :D

Any medium or heavy armor, I probably have over a 1000 PvE kills up and not one suit of armor or even mage robes has dropped.

I think the silly +1 dagger still has about 12 hours to go though :D I decided to make a dagger thinking it would be a quick crafting achievement - silly me.

What city do you live in? I will try a +1 dagger. I have chain mail and potsteel atm. Other than what I am wearing.

Edit: I don't want to estimate my pve kills.

Deal, I am based in Thornkeep but travel about a fair bit.

Just type. It's automatically shared

What about recipes? And where is every one? Is anyone up by OV?

Goblin Squad Member

It's going to be difficult to trade recipes, as so many are broken. Everything dropped in a group we know are broken, but solo drops *may* be broken.

We have not been playing as a party since mid Alpha 7 because of the group recipe issue.

The weird thing is we had the occasional very rare recipe we were sure dropped as a party where most were broken but one was OK. It is possible however we just got confused and the good one a solo drop.

There is someone up by OV several times a day. :)

It's a bit depressing to play outside a group because of the "land the killing blow" thing. Your friends may be able to share loot around, but they can't increment your Achievements.

Clerics, in particular, seem pretty low-damage. After a death, I was the outside-man in a group of seven of us hunting ogres; the other six were grouped, as this was before we knew about the broken-recipe issue.

I got literally no killing blows in almost 30 minutes, and yet participated in all the ogre-battling we were doing. We kept saying to one another "they need to increase group size" :-).

I would very much like to see groups expanded to at least twelve Characters.

Clerics should accrue achievements through healing others, IMO, to make up for their low damage output.

I just picked some Cleric spells in Alpha 8.

One was generously traded to me and is achievable in reasonable time needing Divine 5 I believe.

The other which was a drop requires 19 Divine points.

Now I am aware that you can get extra Divine points from escalation quests.

However compared to other areas where you can add extra martial points by equipping a weapon you have never used before like spear or greataxe and just whack 10 gobbos with it for a martial point (even subterfuge has 3 weapons, shortsword, dagger and shortbow) the divine points are based on kills with just one weapon type, the Combat Focus. This makes getting 19 divine points tricky.

Edam, which spells do you have?

I am not in game.

The Divine 6 (550 XP) was Hold Person.

From memory the Divine 19 (1880 or so XP) was some Bestow Curse or Doom style thing. Would have to log in to check it.

In alpha 7 I had Blessed

wow sorry. Totally missed this. Just gave my potsteel to an alt, but I have chain mail if you still need it. PM me would be better. I am in TK as well.

That is OK, I got some armor since anyway.

The +1 dagger is still around. I built it to get a crafting achievement rather than actually wanting the dagger itself.

At the present time I would swap it for a basic longsword and longbow or two. (I have a +1 longsword cooking but it is going to be 3 days and my generic one wore out).

Goblin Squad Member

Well I could use that dagger and I think I have a longbow or longsword I can trade you for it.

Hey Diella,

I probably will not be back on for about 4 or 5 hours at least (am at work right now) but if you see me in game remind me and we can make a deal.

Goblin Squad Member

I have a ton of raw alchemy and whatever the sparkly stuff does....essences and such. Getting lots of steel plates and ingots. No other smelting recipes yet tho. Need some medium armor, or heavy if available. Also have a bunch of yew and a little pine getting refined. I am not too picky what I get if I can use it. Not enough time for it to be a big deal.

Goblin Squad Member

Fanndis, since there's no encumbrance, I'll hold on to that Pot Steel Plate until either we meet-up or I hear you've already got some. It's on my second character that never leaves the keep at Rathglen if you find yourself in the area.

Goblin Squad Member

I'm in Thornkeep (or will be when I get off work in a few minutes) and I think I have everything needed to craft a suit of leathers except the cotton underlay. I'd trade it for an undamaged suit of light or medium armor plus (whatever it takes) so long as I can keep a few of my weapons.

If you speak up first, and are willing to travel to Rathglen, I have some leather (Footpad's leathers? can't check, at work)

(I won't be online until about 9:00pm eastern time (ish)
[five or so hours from time of this post.]


(cheers for the developing economy!)
