Ok so later today I'll be selling some EDs for a good chunk of change, and I need some suggestions as to what AI should get with it since I'm still fairly noobish, as well as what are good prices. Here's my list and guesses at prices so far. I'd really appreciate any input people can give me about what to buy and how much to pay for it. You're also welcome to make me offers for selling me any of these items
1x Woodworker's Keys - 125k?
1x Metalworker's Keys - 125k?
120 PS Magery - 250k?
120 PS Evaluating Intelligence - 250k?
120 PS Anatomy - 250k?
120 PS Taming - 250k?
120 PS Animal Lore - 250k?
120 PS Fencing - 250k?
120 PS Tactics - 250k?
120 PS Parrying - 250k?
120 PS Mining - 250k?
120 PS Lumberjacking - 250k?
120 PS Fishing - 250k?
120 PS Blacksmithy - 250k?
120 PS Tinkering - 250k?
120 PS Carpentry - 250k?
Toolhouse - ???
Essenes(100) for each of the above skills - 100k for each 100 so 1.4m?
--------------------------------------------------------
Total estimated cost(probably low): 5,150,000g
Just going with the essential skills for now

Let me know what else you think is a neccessity? I appreciate any serious suggestions.

This could really go in the Market subforum instead, but oh well.
Check Blaze's Golden Goddess powerscroll list for the PS prices. They are not 250k across the board, some cost more (eg. taming, animal lore) some cost less (eg. less useful skills like fishing).
Woodworker and Metalworker key prices are about right. Depending on the seller it ranges around 120-150k.
The Tool House is similar in cost.
I would also add Tailor's Keys to the list for 100-130k roughly. They hold leather, cloth, dragon scales, and a few other things. Between those three resource keys and the Spell Caster's Keys you will save a great deal of encumbrance.
The type of essences that you're referring to only apply for the martial skills, so you'll only need 400 to start with (100 in tactics, anatomy, parrying, and your fighting skill of choice). When you bring other weapon skills up to 120 then you can get another 100 essences for that skill, and so on.
However I'd advise that you get to the level of hunting balrons, and then collect essences yourself while building up some coin from the ballies, it provides a goal to work towards that accrues you a respectable amount of coin in the doing. Then you can save the specific amount of ED that you'd have otherwise spent on obtaining the essences, and get something that only ED can buy.
If real life money (and therefore ED) is no concern then go ahead, it's certainly quicker to buy them in bulk (since balrons drop 1-3 essences each, of two random essence types per kill for 2-6 total, getting a clean 100 of every type may take a while). But at that point one should begin to question how much of the game is actually being played, as opposed to how much of it is being bought.

Hello
Most keys and the tool house go for 100-150k consider 125k or lower a good buy
I would not worry about essences until a skill is 120 to start with. I farmed 90 percent of my essences of Balrons and made pretty good money at the same time.
With most skills I would not worry about buying anything less than a 120 scroll except fot taming , lore and archery which you may have to settle for a 110 or 115 until 1 is available. As for scroll Prices, Blaze Budd is pretty much maintaing scrolls prices. You may find others who have a certain scroll that he does not currently have in stock, but they will usually want more for it.
Short but hope it helps

Only problem with farming my own essences is that I've apparently forgotten how to fight in this game...and Balrons kick the crap out of me or any pets I bring (I lost four Ostards to one, and I also lost two drakes to a lich lord and some silver serpents). I mean, it has been 8 years, but even for that long, I'm sucking

I have to re-learn some battle and macro strategies...

Hello and good luck in your efforts to buy these said items.
I may have a variety of these ps scrolls you are looking for and i do manage to have a tailor key that can be sold to you for 125k if you in fact need them as well. I would also like to buy wood keys if you do find multiples.
My character name is Phoenix and feel free to msg me in game to see what I can help you with whether it be scrolls keys or essences, elixirs etc... Good luck and happy hunting
P.S. I do agree with checking Blazes prices as he has pretty much set the standard for most ps, but if unavailable feel free to give me a shout as mine are not publicized like his but rather stored until needed.
Always glad to lend a helping hand.
