What happens to enchanting gold?

Do we actually have a gold sink? :blush:

Or does it get handed back out through CU? :dissapointed:

Does anyone know if we actually have a functioning gold sink now? *crosses fingers*

    The success rate caps out at later tiers. My stormcry's xp is capped but the success rate is locked at 30%.

    And it will be less when you get more enchanting level.

    no true, in top tier gear /jewerys/accesories dont matther how much exp gear you have, you still can fail

    My condolences on your gear issues. It will be a while before I share your pain, but nonetheless, you have my sympathy.

    None of which is on topic. Does anyone know if the gold goes back into circulation?

    We've wanted a gold sink for this game for so long, if we got one and no one noticed...that would be so funny.

    But if the money is given back to the game like money to merchants was (via Civil Unrest prizes), it's not a gold sink. It's a wealth redistributor.

    I get that you are having to spend lots of money, but is that money gone for good? That's what I'm asking and all I am getting is people talking about how much enchanting costs.

    I'm sorry for your woes, but is the money, in fact, GONE.

    That is what I am asking.

    I think it was 24% on +6 going +7. i'm at 39%

    I believe enchanting is a true gold sink, as the NPC for the treasury states that she gets her gold from broker & merchants.

    I will say though that the gold in the treasuries is much higher this week than normal, most likely from everyone buying artisan kits for crafting.

    Only merchants used in Velika are returned to the economy .. and since most people use highwatch that number is only about $4m
  • CatservantCatservant ✭✭✭✭
    Thank you @Jenieve and @Pages. That was what I was hoping to hear.

    Hadn't realized it was only the Velika merchants. Good to know.
