Time consumption: XP or play the market?

Which takes more time, playing the market or xping?

I find playing the market more time consuming because I have to watch the shop, compare prices, look for bargains, then balance my buy and sell shops. With xping I do my time and it's done. What about you?

nah market is faster
once you get a grip on prices its just a matter of checking all giran stores at the beginning and end of the day

what are you measuring it against. % xp earned grinding to % adena made buying selling per hour. Or just time elapsed while playing the game.

Playing the market to me seems so much slower and time consuming just because im just setting there with a store.

Grinding xp is interactive so time seems to go by faster.

well until we gain afk xp im still gonna say market is quicker

Being a Merchant is much less time consuming than grinding. While buying and selling you simply have to take a quick look around, then set up your store and go AFK over night. If you try that grinding you get banned. ;)

Either way, playing the market feels it takes longer. I hate it.

Crafting for profit on a non-niche items will take you a long time, especially if you need to acquire recipes.

Crafting for profit on a niche items takes about 5 minutes of setting up store a day. :p

Buying low and selling high takes maybe half an hour.
