it probably has to do something with the recent boom (reboom, really) of sweatshop workers doing doubletime? if you check ebay gold, it's currently about $60-something bucks for 1 mil, compared to last month's $80-something bucks (i think) for 1 mil.

also, let's not forget to add that thought with some of the vast green weapon farmers who sells at high amounts, and turning that around to buy ecto/shards within the last month.

i could be wrong, of coarse.

more people are just buying ecto/shards in a faster rate than usual i guess.

Aha, what a lovely coincidence- I just got my first gob of ecto.

Love it when that happens. Now if I'd only get a shard, I'd be all set for my guildhall... FINALLY.

Kinda off-topic.
Black dye has reached a post-price-patch high of 9k too.

It does seem like the economy is slowly inching back to the pre-trader patch days. Monk runes are moving up, as are ecto and shards. I can see how reduced solo-monk farming has reduced the amount of ecto on the market, but why would shards go higher as well? They aren't farmed specifically like ecto, but plenty of grps still head down into the Fissure. Price jumps worry me... as I don't farm enough to keep up. :P

The price will drop in no time. It's very dificult to sell ectos now for 16k (which seems to be the avg price people are selling at), and hordes of players are selling to the trader for 14k... 4k more than what used to be for each ecto is a good deal.

This is a spike. Prices will eventually drop...it just went down to 18k again and onyl 2 hours have passed. I suggest NOT BUYING ectos now, so that people who have plenty of them will sell to the rare mat trader, thus lowering the price very fast.

merchant sells ectos at 12k atm - so all pretty normal now

What did I say?

People are like sheeps. Should start a GW farming cartel with some of my friends, but I'm soft-hearted, and I won't do it.

(Got 700k in 24 hours thanks to the idiotic ecto prices).

as i said before, this is crazy...
people were selling them for 8k and that was already an hard effort for common players, whatare we doing now?!

EDIT: however yes, the perfect strategy is not to buy them now and wait
