I have been spending time playing the markets a bit, and closely watching pricing of rare crafting items. I have been investing and selling off 100-300 items at a time for a small profit ( 10-40 silver at a time). On the Sept 19 evening to the 20th morning the prices of all rare mats dropped about 20% almost instantly. Now this seems to be across the board. I didn’t loss my shirt on this, but am somewhat surprized. Drastic drops in the market are usually precipitated by a specific event, and there does not appear to be one. Does anyone have any insights

Here are some examples from Spidy:

Did anyone else experience this? Luckily I only have about 300 Large claws that I am sitting on.

^^ This happened. Some of the more rare stuff were already starting to go back up this morning but cheaper stuff haven’t gone up much yet.

The prices didn’t reset with the TP outage, it’s just that the supply greatly increased because people couldn’t sell whatever they had gathered over the period of time. This meant that more people were undercutting than would normally be seen, after a few days the prices will go back to normal.
