The q8 Ornate looks very familiar. If I recall, it was supposedly selling for 15-20a months back (maybe a year now - forget when I was bidding on it).

The offers seemed to die around that range.

Looking for a q8 Storm Bow that has 15% stance or 15% ench, but would be open to see others as well.

I'd guess anywhere from 4-15a. Though the lower end of the range would be most realistic, as these mods aren't the best.

A +10ar collector may pay the higher end of that range if they're missing the skin, but I don't see many others bidding more than 5-6a.

oof big bummer that it isn't 15% - Would have fit nicely with my collection

I'd guess somewhere between 2-5a, maybe pushing towards 8a if you're lucky. Though, I'd be surprised to see it reach that, based off of what I've bought 15% stance/ench for in the past.

Well, distinguishing the first part of that ask is essentially what the Automated Solution would already be doing since all that information is coming from Extracting the text of the image/screenshot.

The text would be parsed in the below categories that would be sent to their respective columns in an Excel Spreadsheet

• Name - Blade Shield
• Requirement - 9 Tactics/9 Strength
• Mod A -
• Mod B -
• Gold Value -

That 2nd ask wouldn't be worth the effort - a lot more involved than having the program read the color of the text: Purple/Gold.

Some skins could be less challenging than others, such as a Longbow. Example: Wooden Longbow and a Feathered Longbow. The image of the "Longbow" would be different for each. I'm not sure if that's the case for the Spiked Targe - I believe you actually have to equip the item to visualize this difference.

Either case, that'd be a lot of work and responsibility to put into the program for only a little additional detail to be collected. You'd almost want a database of images for those unique cases.

If I've time over the holiday week, I may play around with some python.

I'd suggest looking into Python; Python has some useful Libraries for this sort of task. The Screenshot approach is a pretty easy solution, and I guarantee that you could quickly find code that would work for your needs from a quick YouTube video.

However, having no programming knowledge, you may find that you need to invest more time in other videos, in order to create the Program I was talking about. It'd require some basic knowledge on loops for automating the analysis/extraction of data from all images, parsing the text data into sub strings to be analyzed and placed into the specified columns in Excel, navigating the OS, etc.

Best of luck - Fun stuff to play with

* Also- You could automate the management of the Folder that holds your screenshots. Once the program finishes extracting the text data, it could just delete all the images; or it could delete them as it finishes each extraction, rather than all at once.

Well, the reasoning behind the "bot" word choice, is that a lot of bots could be built around images.

So a non-developer, may be able to scrap some of the script used in botting techniques, if they weren't wanting to build a solution themselves.

Taking screenshots in guild wars is by far easier than looking at each item, and typing the data into Excel; even with dual monitor setups. If one were to go that route, once the program was built, you'd just need to take 20-40 seconds to get a screenshot of each item in your inventory. I feel it's safe to say it takes 0.5-1.0 seconds to hover your mouse on each item, and then press the screenshot button.

Disregarding the call to write the Item Data to an Excel Spreadsheet, this task sounds similar to that of a farming bot - "Merch/Salvage all these items, but keep/store these specific items".

I'd imagine a similar script being required to do what you're asking; possibly with a bit more development to capture all the data you're asking for. I wouldn't think that the logic in a farming bot would have to read the details of a weapon in order to merch/salvage every item, but keeping/storing the specifics might be communicating to the Objects Name/Attributes.

Or image analysis could do the trick.

With that said, if you took screenshots of all your drops and stored them in an isolated folder, you could create a program that reads & extracts the text within those images in that folder. This could allow for you to extract the text data from each screenshot, and map it to an Excel Spreadsheet. You'd have to do a bit more development to capture the color of an item, but that could be done as well.

Though, not having knowledge in programming may be a problem, especially if the interest isn't there to do it yourself .

But, I'd recommend watching some videos on Youtube, and then modifying the code you see to meet your needs. You'll have to add quite a bit of customization in the code in order to place the images text in the specified columns on the Excel Sheet. The program would have to analyze the text in order to know which column the Items Name, Requirement, Base Mod, and Gold Value would go in the Spreadsheet; otherwise you may put all the text in a single column.

That q8 15^50 Eternal Bow is going to be xxx armbraces I believe. I'd take your time selling this for sure.

What skin is the hornbow? Mursatt?

merch food without a doubt.

Really? Looks like Kryta to me

where indeed

Not sure where in Kryta has red terrain. Also, if you look closely there is a Herald of Nightmares still alive

I think they're worth more in Pre than they are during the holidays in Post. During Halloween/Wintersday, a stack of Charr Carvings is only 83 1pt Sugar/Alc/Party.

Even if you were to spend all your stacks of carvings on Candy Canes, you'd see more profit from selling them in pre and converting the pre gold/black dye to post arms.

I'd say the staff is merch food. Most naked collectors want q8 or q9 naked, esp for common skins.

If you were able to sell a naked q12 common skin to someone other than merchant, then I'd take any offer given.
