they have just fixed the taxi to duncan's, do thing that the price or deld. remnats and onyx gemstones will rise?

placebo overdose · Sep 18, 2007, 01:29 AM // 01:29

imo yes but no one can know for a fact it will drop eventually so if you want the weps buy now if you want to be cheap no that thats bad wait a month or two

freakishly ugly god · Sep 18, 2007, 01:39 AM // 01:39

any more opinons?

GloryFox · Sep 18, 2007, 01:43 AM // 01:43

No and why should they?

Fact is you can only use them for a weapon crafter for weapons you cannot transfer to GW2. Many people believe the skins are ugly. Most people including myself will look forward to a fresh start with GW2. So why ga ga over some crap skins when there are other nice skins out there?

Onyx? I don't know. I've been finding plenty of it without farming Duncan. I'd welcome a bit of a rise though, it'll be nice to have a drop that's worth something. Spare cash to support my lockpick habit is a welcome thing.

Remnants and hierophant items, they'll probably go up quite a bit, which will add a little thrill to finishing Slaver's for the people who haven't ran it to death yet.

Win-win situation.

Spazzer · Sep 18, 2007, 01:58 AM // 01:58

Onyx won't rise; the demand is low enough that it won't have much impact.

wolfwing · Sep 18, 2007, 02:31 AM // 02:31

Probably depend on what if anything having all the weapons will do for GW2...and if they post it, there must be a reason you can put them in the HOM, the question is other then the one weapon you want to keep is it worth doing it?

Stormcloud · Sep 18, 2007, 03:08 AM // 03:08

price is already increasing so id say yea for a little bit but then drop again and level off like rubies.

wolfwing · Sep 18, 2007, 03:11 AM // 03:11

Heh I wonder how badly the price will skyrocket if it turns out that they are needed for HOM to get big bonus like super cool weapon skins for GW2.

TechnoSword · Sep 18, 2007, 03:18 AM // 03:18

lol i already saw someone spamming wts onyx gemstones 15k already, i'm sure anet will add some sort of content that will require gemstones, but it wont be for quite some time

trielementz · Sep 18, 2007, 03:20 AM // 03:20

gw2 is ages away.. the skyrocketing will be quite some time away i reckon, if it even does.

wolfwing · Sep 18, 2007, 03:24 AM // 03:24

Well depends on WHEN they announce what torment collction gives and IF they ever do. The longer they take and the lower the reward the less the impact will be.

wolfwing · Sep 18, 2007, 03:26 AM // 03:26

Though to be honest..:> That be a great way of removing the surplus onyx's mentioning what the reward is and make it a big one.

Chthon · Sep 18, 2007, 03:35 AM // 03:35

Well, it did. It's now more than double it's low point earlier today.

Ironically, all the people whining about people getting easily what they spent 10k on has caused a doubling in value of all the onyx held by those very people.

Really? I've seen loads of people in love with the skins (myself included).

wolfwing · Sep 18, 2007, 04:31 AM // 04:31

I think the price increase will be three things.

Those that like myself bought them while cheap in hopes of selling later at a bit higher price. *with 27, thats 27k for every k it goes up after 2k*

And those that want to get them while they are still cheap so they can craft them.

And the third ones are those that don't plan on using them now but want to grab them while cheap.

n3ptun3 · Sep 18, 2007, 04:37 AM // 04:37

It did go up.. I bought some yesterday for 5.5k even 5k now its 8.5k at merchant, and people selling for 8k

when i was out doing the vanguard missions, i got 5 superior char carvings and when i got to town i decided to trade them to the colector for a curse wand - since i didn't have a curse wepon to use when i decided to go that route....

got a wailing wand 11-22 dmg: haves recharge of curse skills (20%):+15e -1 e-regen...

not the best of wands, but usefull enough till i find something better.

when we got down there i noticed that i had all of the materials for a destroyer wepon already in storage, and i didn't think 5k is too much to craft an elite weapon -- untill i scrolled down to look at the curse wand, and it had the exact same stats as the collector wand i'm runing around with. -

WTF? when did anet forget how to reward people? the piss poor rewards from dungons is one thing, but expensive as hell crafted elite's that are the only ones allowed to be displayed in HoM; should be able to out class PoS collecters items without even trying.

Bit late buddy. It's been like that since Prophecies

um there're only so many ways you can permutate GW's weapon mods. it has always been about the skin and the vanity factor. could work for or against you. i don't care much abt these unique weapon skins, but the profits from trading them are huge and allow me to doll up my toons.
