I've heard of buff markets for sale (as in you list your buffs, and someone can buy while you're offline for xx price). But this idea I haven't yet seen.


The general idea, is that you can sort of "capture" buffs, like potions, and have a special area in the current AH for these captured buffs...and you can auction them off at your preferred price. The duration would be as long as your current sustain would allow (possible alterable with BM, or extend)


this is just a basic idea I'd like to build upon.

So you "Capture" a buff and put it into a container? Then you go off selling it?

yes, it would cost the same amount as casting it, and then you would sell it in the auction house. (an offline buffshop has been proposed many times, this seems to me like a less-abusable way to do it)

I like the concept of the idea, Good thinking.

cheers :) I'll add a poll when I think there is significant enough feedback. trying to get some actual comments instead of the yes/no voter type

great idea, HCS said something about this once but it has not been discussed since. If not HCS then it was just some random post I saw. Bottle up your buffs and sell them off in the AH, I like it. :)

I like the idea, still seems like there's abuse here though, maybe make it cost double stamina to do this, that way even as a way to avoid buying max stamina it would still be less practical to use this than to buff people directly.

INteresting, but possibly exploitable. May destroy selling buffs normally.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

you would not be able to get the stamina back so I see no abuse for it.

gold => fsp => +25 stamina => if prices are so it is possible to buy the stamina back

Before I continue I should ask, do the items have an expire time, like regular buffs, or can you keep them for 2 or 3 days in the bottle?

If they expire quickly then yeah I see no way to abuse it, reasonably, if they do not expire in a given amount of time then a high level player (lets say 300) could be having a slow day hunting SEs and not selling many buffs. He/she could burn 300 or 400 stamina filling the capture bottle things with the buffs, and then sell them later, while gaining more stamina at the same time.

Obviously :P You can say that aboutthe PvP arena as well

I.E. You win a pot of 4 FSP, and buy your stamina back...

This idea was raised in the (now defunct I think) focus group last year and Hoof seemed interested in it as I recall.

I can't see how it would be exploitable and it would be an easy way for everyone to sell their buffs without having to be online every instant.

I like it.

how is that any different then selling buffs now? the normal way? the same stam is leaving your character at the same time. the prices would be the same, the buffs would be the same, and the stam cost would be the same. it would just be an easier system, and would help unclog the shoutbox/fsbox a bit.

It is a good system, and I did like the Buff shop. *Cough* But it seems like some people just didn't like it.

Anyhow, you might have already answered this but i'm still a little unsure.

So, do we have a bottle were we can store a buff, we then place it on the Auction House to sell. The duration and stam spent to store the buff is exatly the same as if you were normal buffing someone.

By this the only difference it that it is in a bottle...

If yush, then I like it,

However, perhaps some people might say that it is unfair for those who are online and selling thier skills, thus making them have to sell them cheaper to compete, I wouldn't agree with this, as anyone is able to do this, and there isn't any abuse that I can see, plus since you can't get your stam back if their buffs don't sell, then initially stamina has been sunk. O.o

Plus since you can't *Like a buff shop* Have direct access to guild members, meaning if guild members wanetd buffs off of you, they'd have to go to the Auction House, and that gives a chance for everyones skills to be seen. Then I see it as very fair, and free advertisement, kind of, if you don't count the stam spent lol. :P

Anyway, I do like it yush. ^_^

Umm not sure as to what abuse your talking about. AND if it cost double stanima people would just raise all their prices and buffs would just become twice as expensive, thus hurting everyone who buys buffs.


I would love this idea, But I could imagine the AH section for 10K doubler would be enormous, and it would have to be separated by buff levels, or at least an option to sort by buff levels.

The bold part I have to agree with....

And if the bottles of buffs are searchable by name:

Such as. 'Doubler' You can type it in teh search bar, and only the bottles/potions whatever you want to call them - for doubler come up, that would be great, would make it much easier to find them...

As to prices and levels, if we could have it in order, Cheapest - most expensive, that would be good. same as the Find buffer tool in my bio, you just click the price heading and it sorts it from lowest to highest. O.o Same with levels.

Good plan, seems really good.
