Curse

Collector wands have always been the same stats...this game is designed for PVP wich means the max weapon must be collectable for everyone. Maybe in GW2 this will change but not likly in this one.

I have severely underestimated the resourcefulness and taste of the community. Onyx is on the rise.

I like it. I will, as I've been doing all along, sell every piece of onyx I come across. It's the only use I have for it, because I don't fancy my characters running around with awkward chunks of heated rock for weapons.

It will rise as more and more people beat GW:EN/get it. Expect prices to peak 2-4 months post release like the rise in price in saphires and rubies as more "non-rushers" began to get to Vabbi in NF. Then, it will gradually drop to its stable price. Price spike may occur in 18-20 months when more news of specifics of GW2 comes around.

That is what I've been expecting, the prices will stay high as more people want the weapons, and when the demand starts to drop off, so will the prices. What I'm doing is selling all the gemstones and later on when the prices drop, see about crafting a couple for myself.

Don't think the prices will spike before GW2. I'm pretty sure they're not letting us take gold or items over so why would they. I can't see anyone try to fill up the HoM at the last minute.

The items don't look that elite either on the valor monument. They're kind of small. I've got my axe and shield up there and won't bother getting any others.

Most people who really want destroyer weps have them already... so the price will go down as demand goes down

Macro Economics 101:
Supply > demand = Low price
Supply < Demand = High price
Right now... Supply is rising (even without Duncan Donuts) so Demand will decrease over time.

I'd say no. You can get onyx in plenty of other dungeons, and all you use them for is destroyer weaps. Not that hard to get the twenty you need for a weapon set yourself, and then never care about them ever again. As for armour remnants, you do only have 10 heroes, so you have a pretty limited demand.

The point of HoM is to bring "stuff" over to GW2. It won't be weapons or money, but it will be something. There is a reason people pay money for vanity items like minis.

And I disagree Righteous Indignation. Many people I know who want destroyer weapons haven't gotten them yet. Like I said, the people who like to rush through the games have. The people who like to go it slow through all the quests or are more casual players won't have reached the crafter yet.

Anette will probably find another use of Onyx somewhere °°

MSecorsky · Sep 19, 2007, 11:27 PM // 23:27

Coming soon with the release of Hard Mode... Onyx Armor. You heard it here first.

Well, same reason people buy ugly FoW armor and ectos still have value because of it... it's all there is to collect, so the prices will stay up. Onyx will keep value because there's a small supply and large demand.

I think they will rise a bit, but as has been said demand for destroyer weapons isnt huge...
