Guild Wars 2

I was browsing through the TP’s more expensive items and I noticed these two pistols Ilya and Lyss. What surprised me was that they have a difference of around 30g in price. They have the same stats and the same skin so what causes this difference in price. Is there anything special about Lyss (the more expensive one).

Surely they should be near enough the same price because other than different names, they are the same. Supply might be lower for Lyss, yes but if it is a higher price demand will be lower so in theory they should be equal.

What makes Lyss so special?

You can craft em both in the mystic forge, the price difference comes from the materials needed; Ilya requires 250 Ancient Pistol Frames and Lyss requires 250 Orichalcum Pistol Barrels. The latter are more expensive, explaining the price difference.

But that in itself should cause no price difference. Sure it may cost more to create but it is essentially the same item so buyers will buy whichever one is cheaper forcing down the price of the current highest one.

That is the reason. People are not going to craft it and sell it for less than their cost.

There is no difference. The chaos gun has the same look too, and at one point in time it was cheaper.
