Tome Price Guide {does not get updated} - Guild Wars Forums

wilderness · Oct 01, 2009, 06:55 PM

This thread will be maintained on a bi-weekly basis. I spent the day selling multiple versions of every tome to find the brackets, and those below are what seem to be current market values.

Please contribute your sales data so we can keep this list up to date. Thank you.

Sold multiple Ele tomes for 800g each.

lseelba · Oct 01, 2009, 07:24 PM

Yeah Ele tomes go for almost as much as monk tomes. I haven't had much luck selling Elite Paragon even at 4k. 3-4k seems likely.

StueyG · Oct 01, 2009, 11:54 PM

Sold an elite paragon tome for 6k

Pleikki · Oct 02, 2009, 01:43 AM

Monk tomes seem easyly go 1-1.5k

And elite assas 3-4k

wilderness · Oct 02, 2009, 04:10 AM

Updated to suit data. Will keep on top of this on a daily basis until we find a balance.

Meracle Chamlotte · Oct 02, 2009, 05:22 AM

Sold:
normal paragon tome for 1k
normal monk tome for 700g (however, i'd advise not to consider, this was to alliance member as a nice gesture)
Elite Necro - 7.8k

Edit:
Just sold 3x normal paragon tomes for 8k

mqstout · Oct 03, 2009, 10:06 AM

sold 2 elite nec tomes for 8k eA

Yawgmoth · Oct 04, 2009, 06:20 PM

reg Warrior tomes are more like 300-500 imho -- I often sell at 500g to wtb'ers but also often see farmers wts for 300.

agree with ele ~700g

reg Ritu tomes are easy sale at 800g, I often sell at 1k

also sold 2 elite ranger this week 6k, 7k.

It might just be my opinion, but it is pretty obvious that these are way overvalued, and you just were lucky to find someone who was both rich and desperate enough to buy at such prices. I think it is best that these "outliers" be left out of here as to not skew the data.

I agree with the guide's prices, but I differ on a few of the prices slightly:

Regular Tomes:

Rit - 800g-1k
Para - 500-700g
Mesmer - 100-300g (lots of wtbs for these despite their abundance)

Elite Tomes:
Ranger - 5-7k
Paragon - ??? (I always see people saying they've sold for 6k+, yet I've NEVER been able to sell one)
Ritualist - 7-12k (I find them for 7-8k sometimes, but they are so popular that you can get quite a bit for them)
Necromancer - 8-9k (very popular right now, but I wouldn't push it)

Enko · Oct 04, 2009, 09:08 PM

Prices I have been selling at:

Warrior 8k
Assassin 3k
Dervish 8k
Paragon 8k
Ranger 8k
Elementalist 9k
Mesmer 8k
Ritualist 12k
Monk 10k
Necromancer 9k

wilderness · Oct 05, 2009, 08:19 AM

Updated some values. I'm not raising Rit elites to 12k until I see more data to support this. I've 5 to sell in game myself, so I'll see what I can get with some WTSs.

Thanks for contributions.

Karalin Taucher · Oct 06, 2009, 05:15 AM

Just sold non elite ranger, dervish and 3 warrior tomes for 400g each. On the high side for R, but low for W, was looking for quick sale (and got it).

DigitalFear · Oct 08, 2009, 12:12 PM

Bought elite Para 3k. They're more like 4-5k though.
Normal Sin tomes easily sell for 200-300 for me.

wilderness · Oct 09, 2009, 07:52 AM

Bought:
200 Rit Tomes 800g each
100 Ranger Tomes 200g each

Sold:
200 Rit Tomes 1k each (took less than a minute, single buyer)
100 Ranger Tomes 250g each

Why sell War so cheap? They sell really fast for 300g, and it's easy to get 400-500.

Been idling in Kamadan a lot for the past couple days. I sold my tomes when I saw wtb ads. I did hardly any haggling over these.

Elite Necro - 9k (fast sale to first wtb I responded to)
Elite Monk - 10k and 9k (took a while. plenty of wtb, but most wanted lower prices.)
Elite Dervish - 7k (again took a while. fewer wtbs than monk, but first few people I offered wouldn't pay 7k)
Reg. Monk - 700g (fast, immediate sale to first wtb I saw. still see wtb offers for 1k or more at times.)
Reg Necro - 600g (fast, immediate sale to first wtb I saw.)
Reg Warrior - 500g (took a while. fewer wtbs on these. first couple wouldn't pay 500g)
Reg Assassin - 200g (took a while to find a wtb ad for this, but sold fast once one appeared.)

I see LOTS of wtbs for Elite and Reg Rit tomes, but I didn't have any.

Thanks for the effort to keep these up to date - it's a great help to the silent and not-so-silent masses!
