Passiflora, Apothecary - what gives?
IF you’re trying to use rhetorical questions to make a point then ignore the following (I agree there is a problem).
If you actually want to know why:
Passion Flowers are a ridiculously rare drop from a single zone in the game that most of the player base forgets even exists because there is no reason to go there.
It takes 75 Passion Flowers to make a single trinket. If you tried to farm 75 on your own it would probably take you a few months of farming for each trinket.
Passion Flowers are also required for all omni-infusions so people running FOTM that want a particular stat on all infusions (e.g. precision in a defense infusion slot) are required to use 100 Passion Flowers per omni-infusion.
Basically it’s the fact that any player who wants Passion Flowers wants somewhere between 75 and 375 (5 trinkets) but the average player would be lucky to get a single passion flower every day.
The prices make sense because of the circumstances being what they are. It’s the circumstances being what they are that makes no sense.
it was indeed a rhetorical question. i know passion flowers are a rare drop. something in the production chain needs to be fixed. many builds are being gimped needlessly. for no reason.
