I don’t think anyone has a solution for this issue.
Personally this is my solution for me:
My 1490,1477,1465,1460 are all staying 4x3 until next year. just gonna keep doing what i do every week, valtan, vykas, boss rush and sell gems (clown and brel thats a next year issue) to accumulate gold. so far i’m sitting on 445k gold and 7500 unas tokens
4x3 is more then enough up to 1460, thats enough gold for alts currently, get good 4x3 and at least lvl 5 gem set and you’re alright. legendary accs are not cheap but plenty enough to get your invest back
I did the same what is your class engraving acc? i couldnt buy a relic acc with class engraving, EUC all relic acc only spec with class+5 with random +3 engraving start at 40k gold so i just buyd one with crit xD. and stil got my raids done. now im try to snipe sometimes
4x3 is fine. If you really want a 5x3, it would be enough to search the market twice a day. You can compromise and have low quality on the ring (very little is lost) and a necklace with low quality, but as high as possible the statistics that you need.
you can go 5x3 with at least one legendary books easily on EUW. You say there is no items when in reality i am selling all possible mix items for half of the classess and no one buy them. Ofc if you chase high quality they are few and very expensive. About Arcana what you miss at the AH, when she use lvl 1 class engraving.
5x3 isn’t required and DEF not required on an alt thats being parked below 1490. Do note that MOST alts are NOT going past 1460 even in KR. If I’m not mistaken 1445 is the most common spot since you get access to the relic sets. 4x3 is simple to gear and more so with relic gear.
In euw there is much more supply than demand. This weekend I had a stroke of luck and thought hopefully it would sell for 40k. Quality 100, good engravings and perfect statistics.
Well, diving into the auction you see that there are hundreds of similar earrings, but the only thing that is sold for what does not exceed 7k, or what a rookie with class 5 engraving sells for 15k.
