Seems that element sales are cooling down (at least on Babel) except few element types that are used more than the others. I think most used the trick to buy cheap items and destroyed them with rondos and then sold the elements for 2x-5x profit, I know I did. Even with items bought from NPC you could make 2x profit easilly when turn them to elements. You still can do this but I expect element prices to drop fast to point where it's not worth anymore to destroy NPC items with rondos.
Ok, so here's the poll question now, how rich did you get by doing this?

Probably 100M from selling water 6 and wind 2. Water 6 is like 3K sometimes even 4K each here in Tibet.

Why would anyone ever buy wind 2? Its incredibly cheap to make it.. it only takes like 30 mins to get a good lot of it. I fail to see why people would buy it.

well when i was on pacific... i spent all my time destroying stuff for wind2 and usually i get round 5K ~ 10K wind2. Wind2 on pacific was once 2k then raised up to 2.3k ~ 2.5K then stopped to 3k... it because of the bastard stall network which get 1% in your stall
. by that time there are no 2.5k wind2 are sold, henceforth i change my cost from 2k to 2.5k and yes it got sold... around like 20 mins. all in all. i got 15M in 1 go! soo happy ^^
but then i got addicted to Plvl. and it dropped by 7M
and got scammed by 500K ****ing turk scamers

I know a guy on oasis that has two characters running a script basically 24/7 to make wind2 and sells 5k for 12m all the time.

Dint actualy sell the elements, made stones out of them and sold those.
20 int d8 tablets go for 1.5m-2m, and a stone is 1m on avarage.
i also make my wind 2 myself, wayyy cheaper and also get some free fire 2 (needed for int 8 xD).
if selling stones count its well over 100m.

When I was making and selling lucky 8 stones I use to sell the extra lvl 7 and lvl 8 elements just for the sake of clearing out my inventory. Not sure how much I made on elements alone but it had to be 50+ mil.
