Which port city do you use?

On my recent completion of the Vanquisher and Cartographer titles for Elona, I let off a big sigh of relief and said to myself, "I'm glad that I'll never have to step foot in Elona again!" Kamadan, however, seems to be the most popular port city for people to be selling stuff in. Lion's Arch has its appeal for being on the same map as EotN, and Kaineng is...there.

But all three of them are still pretty busy. I was curious who goes where to do their business and why they chose that place.

The reason I ruled out any EotN cities is because I don't think any of them have risen to such importance as any of the port cities. If someone thinks I'm off on that, I'd like to hear about it.

LA is always m first stop, if I don't get any luck I head to Kamadan. I hate Elona.

I mostly use KC when i map out of GH with a full party of 8 and want to go in Proph, EoTN or Faction. Kamadan, always need to regroup in some 8 man party city, so getting in NF should reward you with frequent flyer reward points.

I try to sell in LA (when I try to sell ) and if I can't there, I go to Spamadon and normally can sell there.

Kamadan if I have something quick to sell.

Otherwise, I normally log into my guild hall, then Kaineng as it has a pretty good materials crafter there.

Lion's Arch = Loser's Arch
Kamadan = Scamadan
Kaineng = Con-ing

Anyway i usually go to LA to sell minipets, materials, dyes and any unidentified gold items i have. It seems to be the place to buy the old school items aswell, storm bows, chaos axes, fellblades and low end minipets.

Scamadan is the place to sell or buy the high end and somewhat new items in the game. Things like silverwing bows, voltaic spears, tormented and destroyer weapons seem to be sold here a lot. Not to mention the new 3rd year minis.

Con-ing is where i go to buy tomes for below average price. I always find someone there is selling tomes in bulk for lots of classes which is handy if you feel like being lazy about the skill hunter titles lol.

An honourable mention is Doomlore Shrine in EOTN which is the best place to get lockpicks. I've noticed a huge increase in the number of people selling lockpicks and other random stuff like unided golds.

Kamadan for the most part. Kaineng is boring, and LA is dead.

QFT, I can't sell anything anymore unless it's in D1 of Kamadan.

Also to Adja, I can almost always get mass amounts of picks either in Kaineng (discount merchants FTW) or Umbral Grotto due to the Snowman runs.

Oh i know i was just pointing out that a lot of people seem to be selling their picks in Doomlore now. I guess its a good idea considering runners and those being run will buy them, go through a run and then start selling or buying more again.

I don't think I've ever even attempted to sel anything in Kaineng. Kamadan always has buyers for everything, so for me, its the easiest.

I really wish they would put access to Eye Of the North (outpost) on the boat.

I go to Lion's Arch first then Kamadan or Kaineng. In Eye of The North you may want to visit for selling certain types of items or weapons. I go to Central Fusion Chamber, Gunnar's Hold, Doomlore Shrine to sell certain collector items. I visit Eye Of The North because it's pretty populated. My favorite place is Maguuma Stade though.

Spamadan because I get to sell my crap faster there.
