1. All D, C items are sold at NPC shops, except C grade underwear (Silk Shirt).
2. Low B items are sold at Luxury shop, except jewels.
3. A new item type, "standard", is introduced for weapons, armor and jewels.
- Very cheap (compared to "normal" version of same item)
- Less crystals (compared to "normal" version of same item)
- Cannot be enchanted or augmented
- Cannot get a soul crystal for SA
- Cannot participate in armor set (no set bonus)
5. Newbie buffs are given for levels 6 to 62, including Haste 2 (but the life cubic is only for levels 14-34).
6. Herbs last for 5 minutes. New herbs have been added; VR, mortal blow etc.
7. You can go to level 20 in practically no time, using Newbie Guide quests.
Analysis:
1. D, C and low B market is dead.
2. The only way to make legit adena in low levels is manor, shot crafting or playing the market (=buy low & sell high).
3. New players will have a very hard time getting legit adena for their A grade, because the game promotes a "carefree" attitude until the real hammer strikes.
4. New live buffers are as good as dead with the newbie buffs lasting to level 62, the 5 minute herbs and the summoner pets buffing people for ever.
5. A-grade duals (and consecutively A crystals) can be made by putting together two B-grade kesh*kesh swords bought from the NPC shop. Thus the price will drop.
6. D, C, B and A crystal prices will drop, so shots will get a little cheaper; not much in D and C, more in B and A.
Suggestions (what to do before Gracia):
1. Sell all your D, C, low B weapons, as well as kesh*kesh A duals.
2. Sell any Avadon and Zubei armor parts/set you have.
3. Sell your D, C, B, A crystals and shots, if you have lots of them.
4. Sell any expensive D and C armor and jewel items, as they will be bought cheaper from the NPC shop (except Silk Shirt).

Trade is my best way until now to make adena.
Also now that it is vacations period market is confused.It is hard to sell items, but it is also good opportunity to buy at low prices if you speak to sellers.
Trade is always to best by far way to make adena.
May I make a suggestion: buy LifeStones and Dual Craft Stamps.
Their demand will go up significantly after the patch, as people will use:
1) LifeStones on Jewelery
2) Dual Craft Stamps to create Kesh*Kesh for crystalisation.
Mammon Upgrade
After careful examination of the Mammon BS menu on PTS, I can verify that there is Mammon Upgrade for weapons up to mid-B grade.
So you CANNOT GET TOP B WEAPONS at the Mammon BS.
You can exchange any weapons for weapons of equal crystal value, as usual. I did not posess any weapon higher than mid-B grade, so I cannot tell if you can exchange top B weapons or higher.
As usual you cannot exchange a weapon with a SA on (you can remove the SA on the spot for free with the help of the Mammon BS) and I doubt if a "foundation" weapon can be exchanged.
