Where do you get this idea from? I think you are wrong..

The patch update notes said nothing about capped prices upwards or downwards. The game should not interpret ecto as any different from a vial of ink or any other rare material.. People just assumed there was a cap because prices change much slower now... I think it would be hard to see it go below 9k because of the demand.. not because of any code in the game..

I thought it was agreed that the solo monk didn't do anything for the prices, be it inflation or deflation or even mudflation. The prices are capped at a reasonable value so it doesn't really matter. Also not much of a difference in 9k and 8.5k.

EDIT: The price dropped another 500g today. Now it is at 8.5k. I agree with Mitsu Bishi. I think Anet has increase the drop rates for shards and ectos. Im not complaining

Drop rate has been increased. Its nice, kind of a reward for those talented enough to still farm.

Thanks Anet.

They have been increased, atleast when in groups. I have had several VERY rewarding FoW and UW trips with groups of 8, ectos and shards galore.

Refer to post #19 in this thread

I have played in uw as a group and solo since pvp extreme. And I can verify that the drop rate has increased ONLY with groups. I did 5 solo runs (killing the bulls, and dying at grasps grrrr), and came up with only one ecto. But as a group, the drop was better.

For fow, the shard drop rate has been noticeably better post pvp extreme. I only go in groups, and I find that it's not usual to see a shard drop before reaching the tower.

So then I had ten very very good FoW runs, and five very good UW... I must be a very very lucky dude. Oddly prior to the PvPX I was getting little to no ecto/shards. I wonder...

Guild Wars need to have one item that can hold its value for those of us that have over 1 million gold and need to invest it something. I hate when ectos goes down. lol

Sekkira · Aug 31, 2005, 04:42 AM // 04:42

Well I've done a few FoW runs recently too and got crap all. Same with the Underworld. Should I now start saying that they've nerfed the drops?

Theos · Aug 31, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

Dunno, maybe you over solo farmed UW. Remember there is still the decrease in drops for over farming :P Or maybe it is all luck... boy I am very lucky.

Since the update I've been getting two a run, every run. Sometimes 3.

Pre-update you were lucky to see one per trip.

Sekkira · Aug 31, 2005, 06:21 AM // 06:21

I get three a run standard.
