Someone in my guild said that Sup. Absorbtions were 9.5k at the rune trader so I exited by AB and went to my hall and it really was 9.5k so I bought some. Sup. Vigors were 33k when I saw the price of them while buying the Absorbtion rune. No, this wasn't during any trader reset or anything, it was today.

it's this marvelous thing called supply and demand...in short, all the new assassins dont use it, and Anet made it easier to farm so...more in the bank + less leaving the bank = cheapo runes for teh nubzors...and the elite like me

I bought my Superior Absorbtion for 90k back in the day and don't regret that it's 10x cheaper now.

They've been between 9.5 and 10k for the last 2 days after spending about a week or so at 11k. Now all I need is the sup. vigor to go down in price, or farm ettins and get lucky, and I'll have the runes my warrior needs for her new armor

Same. It did it's job. Btw I wouldn't buy any Sup absorbs hoping that they'd go up back to 80k. They'll probably stay as they are.

Vigors were at 26k sometime Yesterday. Had one drop and went to price it, just my luck.

wammos are out of fashion, assmos are in

TideSwayer · May 10, 2006, 05:58 AM // 05:58

I'm sure the sweatshops are overjoyed that it only costs a little more than 10k total now for the 55-monk rune set.

RTSFirebat · May 10, 2006, 06:06 AM // 06:06

Its about time, got one for my W/Mo farmer.

noblepaladin · May 10, 2006, 06:58 AM // 06:58

10k for a very important warrior rune is still very expensive. ANET wanted to make it cheaper so they increased drop rate. Decrease in price also aided by people making assassins instead of warriors.

Sekkira · May 10, 2006, 07:05 AM // 07:05

10k for a rune that reduces damage by 3 points per hit permanently too much? lmao

It seems the supply and demands system is out of play when it comes to most commodities. Rune prices seems capped, there seems to be a max/min price that the traders offer. The assasin/ritualist runes has been out of stock for 2½ weeks and when you try to sell it to the trader he offers a pitifull price.

The Sup Absorption has been dropping like there's no tomorrow, as have other sup runes. Probably so the ones who doesn't own Prophecies wont have to save up for a month to afford them.

Everyone is selling rubies and sapphires yet the price never goes lower than 2.2K.

We are not playing in a real supply/demand system

I got a superior assassin rune and when I went to the trader he was out of stock, but asked be a very low price for it. So I'm thinking the same thing. Demand for assassin runes right now is through the roof, but the prices aren't. ANet must be controlling the prices behind the scenes to some extent.

My Sweet Revenga · May 10, 2006, 08:06 AM // 08:06

Hrmm I got wealthy selling these things. I guess it's about time I tried using one lol.

No, they just didn't stock the traders. So, the traders are only going to have what people sell them. Also, an out of stock trader doesn't offer much to begin with, which is very odd. If it has low stock it offers alot, if it has no stock it doesn't offer much. It's done it to me when I've gone to sell other things to it which were out of stock.

I bought a full set of Assasin minors from the trader on the head-start day. Might have been someone who had sold them to the trader but I think Anet had actually stocked them.
The day after assasin/ritualist/minor and major vigor was out of stock, as was most materials.

EDIT: Zomg, misunderstood, don't mind the last post ^^

Anyway

I like the new pricing, 90K+ was quite alot, even though I bought alot with near that price..
