Guild Wars 2

Hello,

so I’d like to hear your take on this issue. I dont want to ruin anybody’s business so I wont go into the details, but if you take a look yourself you’ll see that ore, cloth scrap and bolt, wood, etc. -prices have been stirred up. Graphs mostly indicate that the main reason is change in the supply volume. So are people hoarding, thats why supply on TP dropped? Or have nodes / salvage rates been nerfed? I dont know about any patch-specific crafting project (like when Spinal Blades ‘messed up’ ore prices).

I hope the question is not too general.

You know that you can trade up every basic crafting material for zephyr sanctum boxes?
That’s a perfectly fine reason for each of them to rise in price.

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Didnt know that, ty.

Or players are doing something now that they weren’t doing before that also provided mats.

Did demand increase? supply drop? or a combo of both?

At the moment, many unrefined mats are more expensive than refined mats due to the new trader.
Its gonna be interesting to see how long it takes for the refined mats to catch up with their crafting costs.

The end of the Queensdale Champ train could also have a big impact oon supply of mostly t1 mats but also other tiers, as it ws used alot for leveling alts.

Nearly 90% of the copper ore is gone from the TP and its about 3 to 4 times more expensive now than before patch. After the initial buyout, supplies are only veryslowly creeping up again, so i think copper and bronze ingots will catch up in price slowly.

People were hording crafting mats that were 1c above vendor… by the 1000’s. Once the demand increased with the festival, a lot of people unloaded their stock doubling/tripling their profits.
