Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

since i’m very far from having loads of money in this game, i was looking for some advice.
I’m looked the lodestone/core market and i wanted to lnow why there’s such a difference in behavior between the glacial one and the others.
I mean, usually, the price to make a lodestone using core and used to set the core price or the opposite, at least, they follow each other.
Why isn’t it like that with the glacial ones ?
Crafting a glacial lodestone cost about 45 silvers while you can sell the lode between 62 and 67 s ? it means about 8 to 11 s of profit per lodestones.
I’ve also seen many attempt to rise the glacial cores prices thanks to some manipulation but it did never worked, why?

Thanks all

Glacial cores lack demand and therefore volume of trade. The Sigil they make is a critter type damage sigil (basically the most worthless category of sigil). The runes aren’t particularly used in major builds since most folks scoff at heal power. They aren’t associated with the more highly sought after weapon skins (Frostfang, the two Ice bows). They drop off of ice elementals and ice imps, so people encounter a small trickle of them in the course of normal play.

Or it could just be anyone who really wants them can do the math to see they are cheaper to craft than buy and just laughs at the Lodestone price and makes their own .

Glacial and Crystal are the cheapest ones because nobody wants what they build. Sure some of the one Glacial build are cool (Wintersbark/bite) but those also require corrupted lodestones. Market between the two is so skewed that nobody bothers trying to modify the market on the glacial and corrupted suffers from the entire market burden due to its rarity (comparitively).

ok thanks guys
Maybe some craft will be added in the future of gw2 ^^
