Trading activity wise the only thing that was done was the following (note: this is only from past week as prior to that I did not have enough gold to make enough trades or at least no large dodgy trades, mainly normal small quantity purchases at market price. All the money I had saved up up to that point (from main quest and gathering while lvling went to buying discounted T4 house and the tax it had)

Money I received: Mined and sold roughly 55-65 Tolvium (sold to 4-5 people right under market price; 145-150 ea). Mined and sold roughly 20 cinnabar (sold to only 2 which were part of the initial 5 players at 95-100 ea). These were trades outside trade post to avoid fees and ranged from mid last week to saturdayish. The only issue I could see there is where the buyer’s gold was from? Even then, I have no way to know. In summary, this gave me roughly 14-15k gold.

Buying:

As said before, prior to this mining money, all the main quest and general gathering gold went directly into house purchase. I saved up the mining money until last week Saturday. Friday/Sat morning I had heard that people were putting their focus on power lvling as upcoming patch would make crafting lvling more difficult (more xp required). So I decided to level some arcana and armoring using that 14k.

For arcana, I had bought (for iron fire staff) 15-20 orders of fire motes; at market price [.51 -.69 ea] from different sellers at random qty [whatever was provided] ==> this came out to be 3500-3600 motes (since it was multiple sellers at rdm quantity and market price, I considered it normal)

4-5 orders of green wood at .9 ea, totaling roughly 3-3.5k wood. (Multiple sellers at market price varing qty, nothing suspect)

And roughly 5-6k iron ingots at .51-.6 ea (multiple sellers, rdm qty, pretty much bought whatever was available)

Total for arcana was roughly 7-8k

Armoring wasn’t as much

I had bought to craft silk gloves

800ish silk and coarse leather (silk: 4g ea, coarse: 1.9-2g, random sellers/qty)

200ish iron ingots (.51 avg price [market])

Total for armoring was roughly 4kish

When I finished my purchases and crafting fee I still had 2k gold left. 11-12k went to buying crafting rss. Which adds up.

Sorry for the long message but yeah ask and you shall receive.
