Do you feel that you're risking losing money by posting the screenshots showing EXACTLY what you're working on? If someone decided to be a jerk and start messing with your niches, it could hurt your experiment a lot, while if you didn't post them, someone just stumbling across them would be far less likely.

(It's been a long time since I did tip missions to change alignment instead of just to earn a-merits -- so I've gotten in a bad habit of clicking without even looking.)

Anyway, it's a very cool mission entrance, like descending into a grave or something. ^_^

For what it's worth to anyone, there's four or five maps available in the AE that all start out with that grave portal, but I forget what they're filed under. I used one in my most recent arc. I also seem to recall having seen it in a Sharkhead mission set in the graveyard area to the north east (iirc). Then again, I was PUGing when I saw it so it might have been that tip.

It depends.  But I've done this before and it didn't significantly impact my money-making abilities that I could tell (although last time I was giving myself about a week's cushion before posting).  I just think it's less useful to say, "Look, I can make money as I level!" but not really show how I'm doing it.

Most of the niches I work are pretty high turnover and have a lot more people than me working them.  That's true of the endurance IOs and the LotG def/rech IO, and the GotA defense IO.  I'm not sure how many people buy and craft Eradication recipes, that's not as high a turnover market but it can be quite lucrative.  ^_^  And of course, I'm not showing [I]every[/I] one of my niches, just the ones I decide to use on this character.

Anyway, I waited until my current bids were mostly filled.  :D  If you wanted to place a bid on 10 Eradication dam/rech at 1,000,071, you wouldn't currently be competing against me, and likely the next time I decided to buy some of that recipe I'd note that two of the last five were for 1,000,071 and either match that bid or bid slightly higher.
