Since the armor nerf, lots of people are changing armor and bought new superiors to put on the new armor. Also, since it came down in price from 90K or so down to 2K lots of people started to buy them for their warriors characters that had major absorbs on them before. Also, with chapter 3 coming out I'm sure a lot were buying them in anticipation of prices going up, just like materials.

and dont forget for a moment that the increased drop rate that brought them dowm from 100k to 4k has not been changed.

there is a spike in demand from all those armor changers and an additional spike from people seeing the price go up and grabbing every one they can thinking

*OMG IM GONNA GET RICH*

when the armor is fitted out the supply will catch up and suddenly people with big stocks of superiors will panic sell as the price drops.

A nice sounding theory, but in order to hold water, it would require you to explain why none of the other runes have been similarly affected, no?

No explanation necessary. None of the other runes have been changed besides absorption. The same update that nerfed absorption also changed knight's and ascalon armor to only be local, so warriors with absorption on their single knight's/ascalon piece(like mine)must now outfit new armor with Sup. Abs.

you guys are laughing with triple absorb rune warriors... Wait until a 5-super absorb warrior kicks you out of the group because you're a "n00b who uses a superiour -75hp rune"

As far as I'm concerned 95% of all warriors are basically 5-super absorb rune morons.

Anyways, look around, in places like hells precipice, 75% of all players are warriors trying to find a group. Warrior used to be one of the most popular professions until assassins came in.
All those warriors either knew about the knightsbug or they didn't. Still, all those warriors must have had a super or major absorb.

All those warriors then learned about the update and figured they could upgrade their armourset (upgrade: read: get a more efficient one).
So with all those warriors salvaging, deleting, crafting new armours, the amount of absorbs bought peeked and the runetrader is out of stock.

Still it might be a bug or something..

Don't sell runes to the Merchant! (Unless it's still in it's armor & you can get more for it that way than you can for the salvaged rune at the Rune Trader.)
