Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to buy some snow truffles and saw they rised to double their price right before i wanted to buy?

are there new recipe’s released that i havent found yet? as this is the only thing i could think of to make them rise.

Love this forum, on the double now to farm them.

No, this is blatant market manipulation, one wich they will probably loose money on.

Ah ok, i thought it was something with the “Flame and Frost prleude”

All someone has to do is hammer the market down with even the smallest supply and this guy is kittened.

I’m not into food commodities so cbb. If anyone ever did this is one of MY markets though he’d have been squashed out by now.

Unfortunatly, I only got 120 of these, probably not enough to hurt the market manipulator

This hasn’t been the case for at least a few days (I would have noticed). FoTSDs cost 50s to make (+ getting the recipe)

Food ingredient constantly double or triple in price. When you know what the “normal” price of an item should be, stock up. Same thing for lotus root, black pepperkorn, orrian truffles etc etc etc. All of the items you use. Actually, with the 28 jan update it’s quite logical snow truffles went up in price, as ppl now spend less time in frostgorge sound (and more time in Orr, which is why Orrian truffles went down).

Please don’t try logic when its far easier to cry “market manipulation”.

On a serious note everyone should try your approach before running into the forums and jumping onto the marketmanipulatorhunt.

Oh, I am with you 100% on this, but this was market manipulation. Check gw2spidy, all the stock was bought up within an hour.

It was maybe a try. The 20k bos checked ingame are a 5k wall at 1.16 and the rest is in small bits. Price is down to 1.75 in sellorders as well.

Oh, for sure it didn’t succeed, but it is still manipulation to an extent.

Are you aware of how spidy works? It is not real time. It doesn’t see all changes. More importantly are we even looking at the same GW2Spidy? http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/12144 doesn’t have any listing volume data past Jan 24. For the data it DOES have each data point covers an 8 hour time span. How can you say anything happened within an hour when the data only tells you what happened within an 8 hour period?

Because there are other sites out there that does the exact same thing. Here, let me help you with it: http://www.guildwarstrade.com/item/12144

Good enough?

Ok, help me see where I’m wrong please. Feast of truffle steak dinner = 10 x truffle steak dinners = 10 x Plate of truffle steak + 10 x Bowl of roasted lotus root.

Bowls of roasted lotus root = Lotus root 50c (spiked from 30c) + Head of garlic 30c + Jar of vegetable oil 8c + Bottle of soy sauce 8c = ~1s x 10 = 10s(now), 7.6s(before the spike).

Plates of truffle steak = Slab of red meat = 5c + Orrian Truffle = 90c(spiked from 70c) + Snow truffle 2s(spiked from 1.30s) + stick of butter 40c(spiked from 24c) = 3.35s x 10 = 33.50s(cost now), 22.90s(before the spike)

So it currently costs ~43.50s to make Feast of truffle steak dinner, before the spike it cost 30.5s. The buy order for Feast of truffle steak dinner went from 35s to 50s. Source: (http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/12641) Accounting for 15% tax that’s currently a 1.17s loss per feast of steak dinners after the spike if you buy all your mats off the TP and a 14.1s profit before the spike.

The buy order price for the recipes has tripled this week from ~1g to 3g. But you’d still make that back pretty quick selling them at 14.1s proffit each right?
