last night i checked the MP, all my investments were at their normal price. this morning i checked and theyve all gone up as much as 50k... i mean ALL of my investments

is it normal for so many items to go up at once or is this just coincidental?

OwO

It could have happened because others thought they were good investments, too. So they invested in them, like you.

So now you are faced with a choice. Do you want to sell them now & earn a 5ok profit, or do you want to wait & hope to get more gold?

Then you'd better get used to either never selling or kicking yourself, because they almost certainly WILL go up more after you sell them (unless you're selling during an anomalous price spike)

Prices on pretty much everything that isn't in infinite supply will continue rise over time. But sometimes they rise more, and sometimes they rise more slowly. The idea is to have your gold invested in items whose prices that will rise more quicky and rise further. It's not a matter of making gold - it's a matter of making MORE gold.

For whatever reason, the guilds don't have tip posts.

It's not pointless. She's giving an example of common sense. Regardless of how long you wait to sell something, it'll still be worth more down the line.

I too have noticed a lot of things rising in price.
But what they said is true.
Maybe patience will do good for now?

No only the forums have the "like this thread" and "tip post" button. The guilds don't have these functions (which sucks) because I'm on the guilds more than the forums.
