How to make money on 8.4

Source: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/217469-84-investment-opportunity/

In 8.4, the price for 83mm High-Explosive HE Mk.3 shells will quadruple (already confirmed as 8.4 is live on RU server). Now it costs 85 credit per shell, in 8.4 it will cost 260 silver per shell. Which means if you buy one for 85 now, you can sell it in 8.4 for 130, generating 45 credits of pure income. You can buy shells for guns you don't own in the store.

8.4 will come to EU server on Wednesday (6.3.) and to NA server on Thursday (7.3.) - at least that's the rumor.

Confirmation from RU server:

  1. I've seen it and got 5mil spare, but have second thoughts on that as WG could change it in the last moment.
    That would leave us with 50% loss not profit.
    Might be better to wait for final patch notes on EU portal.

    1. So what, it's just game silver, it's not like we're investing real money

    2. It is however also time that we lose with those credits. So it is not only money but especially the time spent to grind them.

  4. Already spotted that couple of days ago and bought 32500ish shells. Will buy more until wednesday. Nice opportunity, thx for bringing that up. (y)

  5. May want to add this in, from the source page you linked:

    _Goliard said:
    ...buy as many "PzKpfw-IIL-Großturm" as possible.
    The current price for this item is 4,700 Credits, in 0.8.4 this will be increased to 10500 Credits.
    Selling your PzKpfw-IIL-Großturm stockpile after 0.8.4 arrive on the NA server will raise your Credit balance by 5,250 Credits per turret. This means you'll make a profit of 550 Credits for every single PzKpfw-IIL-Großturm you'll sell.
    Meaning you'll get 11.70% of the Credits you invested returned in profits.

    1. Why bother with turrets that generate such a low profit?

      Delete
    2. Sorry, did you even read?
      They generate more more than the HE shells. 550 > 45 credits.

      Delete
    3. It is like buying shares - you look at % of gain, not on particular price of one share.

      Delete
    4. One shell costs 85 Credits and generates 45 Credits -> 50% Profit.
      For the turrets you only make 12% Profits.
      Shells are better...

      Delete
    5. It's the % profit that counts, investing 10 million in HE shells you make 52% profit, investing 10 million in turrets you make 11.7% profit. Shells are a better investment by far

      Delete
    6. You guys are correct. I admit defeat, and was wrong. :(

      Delete
    7. Yes, you get more for ONE turret. But to buy one you need 4,700 creds with which you could buy a lot more shells.

      So here are facts: you earn about 11% of credits investing only in turrets, and you earn 50% of credits investing only in shells.

      Shells are better :)

      Delete
    8. you even had maths in school?
      lets say you have 5 000 000 cr:
      you can buy 1063 pz2 turrets (5000000/4700) which will give you 584 650 cr income (1063*550)
      or you can buy 58 823 shells (5000000/85) which will give you 2 647 035 cr income (58823*45)

      which number is bigger - 585k or 2 647k?

  6. I am really tempted to buy it for 1 mil or 2 but i am affraid they'll fuck us up with some last minute change :D Any other thoughts? :)

    1. It's just silver credits, they don't really care about a few million here or there. It's gold they care about.

    2. Just buy it. I'm afraid they'll get a BIG shitstorm if they change it the last minute.
      You'll get your money either way ;)

  7. Possible way out for WG:
    Release the patch as early as possible before everyone knows about it ;)

    1. People knew about it since friday, so I guess that's not a big surprise for everyone.

  8. My clan have also seen this, some are investing a lot of silver now, I've invested a bit that I can afford to lose now, and will make the call closer to the 8.4 release.

    Silver is relatively easy to earn with a premium, so you can always just grind hard, and in the long term this shell will fit on tanks I'm grinding toward.

    Has anybody found the limit of shells and turrets?

    ReplyDelete
  9. What about Luchs cost?
    How much cost it for now? ~35k!
    It will be cost 155k (75500 for sell)

    ReplyDelete

    1. But you can buy only one Luchs.

  10. All servers have same prices.
    Every module,tank and shell have same price on every server.
    It will be the same thing with 83mm shells...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Well it's already on the RU server and it's not likely to have different shell prices on different servers.
    Also, it's not like WG actually frown on these profit-making schemes. They know it's likely to happen when they change content, eg. the french light tanks being moved up tiers.

    If you want to be cautious about it, try not buying any shells until you read some final patch notes on the EU portal.

    Aenaes.

  12. they won't have the industry to build this high amount of shells!!!

  14. Ok, been thinking this through, the current "Big is Beautiful" deal for 49.99 Euro ~ £43.18 would give: -
    30 Days Premium
    Gold: 5,000
    Credits: 3,000,000
    15 Large Repair Kits

    So a return on the 3m ~ 4.5m
    anybody know what the Large Repair Kits sell for, as i'm at work?

    If it all comes off from ~ &43, get 1 month Premium, 5k gold and > 4.5m credits?

    Can anybody fill in the "math"

    ReplyDelete
  15. Won't WG just now see a sudden surge in purchase of this shell type now and therefore change it last minute? I think they will notice this exploit but what the hell, i'll give it a go, cheers :).

    ReplyDelete
  16. From the original thread seem to be the consensus that all shell/module etc. costs are the same world-wide and as the Russians already have it and I bet a few made profit from this, how can they do something different for everybody else

    ReplyDelete
  17. Repair Kits should be sold for 10k per item.
    If u do it this way:
    3 Million + 5k GOld (2 Million) + 150k (for the Items) = 5150000 Credits

    = 7876470 Credits After the Patch

    ReplyDelete
  18. Ill go for it anyway. I was thinking to invest for 137k shells. Cost me around 11 Million. That would give me a nice 6 Million in profit. :-) Ill check the test server and the patchnotes before.

    Anyway thanks for the Info Frank.

    cheers :-)

    1. there are modifications when they past from test 2 to the official one

    2. They probably just added a few changes (including this one) since the test server iteration and decided not to test it and just put it straight into the patch.

      Delete
    3. Thats is TEST 8.4. We are talking about REAL 8.4 on RU servers where the new price is 260 credits/shell. So, you get 130 credist/shell when u sell it.

      130 - 85 = 45 credits/shell profit

      Delete
    4. I know what we are talking about. I just thought that these price changes appear on the 8.4 test as well. However the change on RU Server gives me hope anyway. Hopefully we get it soon. I also know what my profit would be when I invest 11 Million silver. :-)

  28. I think after this one, they will try to sync the release of the future updates in one day ... because if Russian server wasn't updated earlier, this won't happen. At least not in the scale in which is happening now :)

  45. 193,629 shells in stock. Hope this works lol.

    I sold all the modules for the T10 tanks. I buy modules only when they're 1/2 price so didn't loose anything there.

    Also sold a lot of premium ammo I had bought for 1/2 the price.

  46. If I were WG and wanted to fix this, I would simply change the price in 8.4 to 160 credits and hotfix .RU. They hotfixed for the T-34-1 camo price which basically would have cost them absolutely nothing (how many people saved 30 gold on that camo? Very few, who buys camo for a tier 7 tank anyway?)

    Some big EU clans have billions of credits on this 83mm HE trade, I'll doubt they will let this go through.

    The T-127 sale got WG North America in huge trouble and supposedly wrecked the economy for many months. This could easily compare to that if the word really spread farther than it has.

    1. T-127 Sale? Can someone explain this?

      Delete
    2. More than half a year ago was huge bonus code giveaway for T-127. The trick it was that you can use one bonus code per e-mail, sell T-127 and repeat. You received some credits (around 150-175k) and a garage slot. You can make 5 operations per day day (the amount of sells per day admited by system) . All you need is a lot of e-mail adresses :)
      That way i made 10 garage slots and a lot of credits, until WG noticed and allowed only one T-127 per account :)

  64. Glad folks will at least get the creds back. But what about the gold folks might have used to by the creds? I am thinking it was all a ruse to generate more cash.

    I know we all agree to EULA - but WG needs to be careful, lest they run afoul of commerce laws.

    Clearly, WG knew what was happening on the RU server before the patch went live. They either should have let all the servers take advantage or they should have immediately announced that it was a in violation of ....whatever - and STATED the shell prices would not be changing.

    Instead - they let the scam proceed. And they knew folks would be buying silver with their gold. Which means more $$$ for WG.

    My hope is they will allow the people to convert the silver back to gold - in an amount equal to the HE shells sold.

    1. You must be stupid if you convert gold to silver. LOL

  65. LOL I expected something like this.

    Even though it is silver one of the reason for buying gold tanks premium accounts and in some really stupid cases gold to convert or booster packages is silver.

    If they allow people to make billions of credits over a thing like this the gold demand will drop for month or two. Especially if you have millions you can use gold ammo all the time for months without buying gold.

    Lesson learned if any of you see something like this next time keep the mouth shut.

    And I thought I will make easy 2 mills :(

  66. So typical for Wargaming. Let the Russians earn how much they want on this price change, but don't allow to do so EU server. This is not like the first earning opportunity ever, there was a patch with French tanks, where you could profit for around 1,5 milion if I am not mistaken (haven't done that only because I'm not driving french tanks).
    Anyway, again WG shows us that for them only RU server counts. I mean how dumb do you have to be not to see that such change in price, for an item that can by bought by the thousand will make an earning opportunity? Lets be blind for the Russinas, and fuck the rest of the world.
