The new honor changes is that going to make Gems take a giant dump? Not sure how much honor you get now a days but im really hoping the Gems can hold their value...

Yes, atleast at first you are going to see gems take a dump right away. People have had 2 weeks to farm for marks and with honor per kill doubling and honor in general for wins/objectives. Once people buy their pvp pieces if they dont have them their is nothing to spend honor on besides gems. Gem prices will dump for a while.

I have about 6 pages of Marks in the mail box besides the 100 of each I already have on several characters. However it could just be boxers who make/strike it rich with this change since we can rack up the honor x3,4,5 etc.

Right right see thats what im really trying to bank on... I have over 100 marks for all my chars as well.... so here is my question... Seeing that Im 8 Transmute mastery and ive been just mass producing cardinal rubies.... Question is do i stock pile and let the market settle or just keep pumping them out at current market value...

Sounds alot like my econ class back in college lol.

Yea, its a tough call cause you want the highest value you can get. I think most of the playerbase does not know how much more honor they will get now and its alot imo. Once the majority find this out I think alot more people will be playing in Bgs atleast for a while until it dies out again.

I wouldnt do a mass sell off right away I would wait a bit. I am planning on selling some but not alot unless I see the market tanking then I will sell off.

So what kind of honor per char do you think we will be looking @ fat??? Give or take.

Well to be totally honest I spent all the marks I could on the battlemasters quest. It gave 1469 honor per 6 tokens 1 of each bg mark. I did that up to 75k. Now when the patch goes live you can no longer turn in the marks for the quest. The patch gives you 185 honor = 1 token and 6 tokens only gives 1110 honor now. So I gained an extra 359 honor up to the max honor cap.

I have 75k and 100+ tokens of each(except 50 of Ioc tokens, but 100+ of AV and others) on 10 characters and 75k and about 60 tokens on most on my other lvl 80s that I dont or havent played in a while.

If you have 100 of each token its 111,000 honor per character as of the patch today. In reality though getting 4-5k+ honor per AV makes gaining honor really, really easy now. People will get their wrathful off sets/ furious sets so fast now that they will be at max cap pretty quick with nothing to spend on honor except gems.

If I blew my honor wad, which I wont since I still need 1 or more pieces of wrathful offsets on most of my characters. I could grab anywhere from 200-250 rubies today.

you can expect gems to go down, but not a lot... maybe 20g at most per. There might be an initial shock of gems... but some people will be using it for pvp gear instead of gold.

I think youre wrong, but hey I wont complain because if your right I will be swimming in gold and so will every other boxer who does BGs. Personally I see gems going down to 100-120 cut and 60-80g uncut

Looks like the old quest for marks is still there, so you can at least for a short time get the highest value for your marks if you have all the different ones.
