Curse

Correct me if I'm wrong, but last week "Monstrous Eye" was one of these rare materials that was absolutely useless.

Now one costs around 1k?

Is this some form of collective insanity that has befallen the community.

Can you salve them for Ektos or something??

No they just go up by Speculators.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculators

it has always been that high for a number of months; maybe 5 or 6 months.

Ekto meaning Ectoplasm, no they dont salvage.

No crafting item salvages.

Word has it that Assasins can use them to charm the rabbit in pre-searing, at which time it transforms into a huge dragon thats lays ecto instead of eggs.

maybe they figured that in the kindom of the blind, the one-monstrous-eyed is king.
But somehow I doubt that you will be able to build a "Beholder" from D&D at the Genetecist, a speculated new Chapter 2 trader.

Still, hard to believe that someone would actually go out and spend money on such "hunches"

beast weapons are my guess

i've got a stock of 20 of each before they price jumped. eyes and fangs are sold out.

Lol this has been a gimmick rumor since the game started, that these particular crafting items would be for well at first the expanded zone they gave us. lol Then the new gimmick rumor which also has been since the game started is that they will be for the new armor in the 2nd expansion.

Man all you gotta say is "I got some "inside" information that this and that is going to be needed in the expansion" and people will fall over themselves trying to get it. lol roflmao

But, let me give you some of my "inside information" hehe, the place you want to be standing when the expansion comes out is near the rare material trader. Find one asap and buy as much as you can afford.

Don't tell anyone I told you though.

Monsterous Eyes are needed to activate the Gwen quest in Underworld, along with Monsterous claws.

Damnit you're not supposed to tell anyone!!

To craft her monsterous broken flute?

The prospect of building a monster sounds interesting, Necro pets anyone? Not to say this is what happens, just speculating n_n

There used in the underworld armour crafter don't forget...

Kidney Licker · Dec 13, 2005, 01:38 AM // 01:38

I don't know about anyone else but I've started collecting them ever since I got a drop of one. They're kinda cute.

I've got 10 at the moment and will stop when I get 250. Twicky Kid, I don't suppose you want to sell your 20 for 1K each? PM if so.

Rikimaru · Dec 13, 2005, 01:53 AM // 01:53

This has already been said, but in different words

Some people think that eventually they're going to release something that uses the monstrous items, like new armor or something, then they are going to be as valuable as ectos, obsidians or shards. So they are hording up on them now while they're still cheap, to sell back later once there worth a crazy amount.
Then they'll be rediculously rich for almost no work or cost.

chippxero · Dec 13, 2005, 02:03 AM // 02:03

But they could just end up being like steel and parchments just cheap common rare materials that are easy to get, and so the price will drop.

No way to know untill there is a use for them.

blind monstrous-Gwen needs them for her inflated head

Kidney Licker · Dec 13, 2005, 02:29 AM // 02:29

I'm actually hoping that one day you can apply them to Dwarven ale for a nice drink.

Hmm ****tail seems to hit the filter.

only thing about these items is that they are extremely hard to find. any monster on the game can drop them at random. no certian place to farm.

when they will be used if its a high quantity needed they will be worth quite a bit but if anything they will spike when they are finally used. either way you still make a profit.

If they are ever used, IMHO there will be a place to farm them. I can't see A.Net creating a use for something like this and leaving their drop rate at the current level.

Once that occurs the price will drop like crazy. I hadn't realised their price used to be 100g, which sounds more reasonable, maybe I better sell 9 of my 10 now
