A new update has been brought to us! And what does that mean? New price spikes and drops that can be very entertaining and profitable.

The mats that changed/ will change the most:

Karka Shell
Passion Flower
Vial of powerful blood

Karka shells and passion flowers will drop in an unimaginable amount. I already kind of predicted that powerful blood will go down but since i need mine for my legendary instead of selling them i just decided to gather my money until they drop even further.

About ectos: Although the MF buff makes it incredibly easy to farm ectos, they are also required to upgrade your cthulhu back piece so i suppose they will stay on 25-30s.

Passion Flowers are definitly going to drop due to the rather low demand and the supply spike becausw of the blooming passion flowers.

Karka shell is self explainatory.

Those are my predictions. What are your thoughts on the market fluctuations and how the market will develop? I belive that since the majority of players can now make much money really easily the prices of high end items (precursors, legendarys, unique MF items, …) will increase while the rather commen things like t6 mats anf or ectos will get cheaper.

The thing is that that ascended backpiece is really easy to get and cheap to craft. And it looks good :P

Might be wrong about precursors. Sellers could fear anothet karka chest and the fear could lead them to panic sell.

Really curious how it will turn out.

In otherwords, business as usual – every living story update everyone cringes that there’ll be a repeat of “the karka chests” and throw the economy a gigantic spinball; but with great change comes great opportunity

You have covered all that needs to be said. I feel bad for those who invested in karka shells.

On a separate note, if you want to convert your gold to gems, do it now if you plan on converting anyway. Don’t convert to invest but convert if you want to buy. When the logging tool comes out it’ll go way up.

It goes without saying though, sell your logs now (but you shouldn’t have invested in them anyway)

If you invested in karma shells in the past, you will definitely take a hit. However, I see karma shells rising up again post event. So it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put in a low buy order for a stack and sit on them for a while.

Yeah that’s for sure they’ll drop down anywhere from 50c – 2s. It will be a good long term investment.

Totally forgot about the future gem items that might be worth investing… suprisingly the t6 mats didn’ t drop as much as i thought, blood at least is quite stable.

Ectos stay on 25-30?? They’re just below 20 now and I don’t see them rising cause of a (disputably) ugly backpiece that you can upgrade.

Supply is just through the roof until they rework CoF/the magic find buff gets taken out.

Well as i wrote the thread i knew about the mf buff on SSC but what i didn’t know is that it is a 200% buff and that the instigator event is repeatable every 5 min O.o

So far it looks like ecto prices will drop very rapidly as well as lvl 75+ rares. I don’t kknow if this might effect the precursor prices but atm it seems like they’ll rise again.

Offtopic: the cthulhu backpack is awesome :P

Chests are not effected by MF. Anyone farming those chests is a fool. I’m not giving away my location but with the MF buffs I can currently farm 8g/hr + ~4 ectos an hour on southsun.

I know that they are not affected by it what i meant is that those chests drop pretty decent stuff as well and since many people do it it means that the market gets flooded with rares and ectos. This in addition to the MF buff is the cause for the rapid decrease in ecto prices.

More than a month passed since the globs had dropped below 25s. I dont see “rapid decrease in ecto price”. Last 2 weeks the price is 20-21s. I thought it will fall and stay below 20s, but i was wrong.
I think the ecto is on the bottom now, it will not drop anymore, unless a new patch come. I havent tried the new content, but i dont see any new ectos on the market. Seems SSC drop cant compensate the cease of sentinels items, salvageable with 30% chance for rare inscription. The ecto supply is steady ~55k, the demand is also ~75k, so is the sell price – 20-21s.
