Guild Wars 2

Great to see my Unidentified dyes continue to climb….up….Up….UP !

I always ask myself what would happen when most of the popular dyes are gone?

My last drop of a Unidentified Dye was 1 week before the patch and after that the price crash.

It s not only the unidentified dyes that skyrocket, look at Abyss, celestial or Black.

Even “low” dyes going from 10S to 1Gold.

If u buy 100 unidentified Dyes, open it and get only 1 Abyss u made about 13Gold.

Why are you posting about this again?

Oh that’s right, to try and sway the market.

Well at least you know what the forums are meant to be used for…..

Oh please, with the exception of a few dyes like Abyss, the rest of the over 1g dyes are cheaper than they were in January, before the dye rumors from China and the confirmation in March. And the purer black and white dyes always were at the top of the price heap.

And in each of the cases you’ve outlined, supply was significantly drained off to force the price higher. Classic attempts at price manipulation of low supply items. At least it’s cheaper to do it with dyes than with precursors.

And as for unidentified dyes. The supply has dropped from 100K nearly two weeks ago to 40K today. Another attempt to clean out the low items for sale so the ones posted during the speculation period after the 1st feature pack announcement when prices shot up over the 30s pre-speculation price.

But i don t understand why nearly all dyes rise since June 2014?
Price manipulation or something else?

Since the 1st feature pack last April 15th, demand was slashed, supply was cut but every player with a duplicate color got a unidentified dye as compensation.

For the few weeks before the April 15th pack, speculation drove up the price of all dyes and when the patch hit, there was a massive sell off with many dyes priced well bellow pre-speculation prices. It’s been four and a half months since then. Maybe the ones you’re looking at are now running low on supply.

Right now the only was to get dyes now is buying them from the Gem Shop, find a unidye in a chest or buy a unidye for laurels (at 10x the previous cost) or craft unidentified <color> dyes as a chef.

I looked at Blue Ice Dye, highest supply fine dye at the moment. Feb 1st, 21.13s; Apr 16th, 69c; Aug 30th, 1.47s.

Tangerine Dye, the one with the lowest supply. Feb 1st, 2.35s; Apr 16th, 39c; Aug 30th 1.50s.

While dyes are going up, I’m more inclined to say they are returning to previous levels, possibly due to a lack of supply finally catching up to the new lower demand with many still below previous “normal” prices.

Perhaps u r right and only the popular dyes raised over the previous level, but i think it s only because the stock of the unidentified dyes still to big.

I believe when the “BLK-farming” getting nerfed, the stock of the unidentified dyes drop further down and then the price of almost every dye will go up.

Looks like speculation on the key farming nerf to me.

The majority of unidentified dyes is currently coming from the key farmers. With that source drying up the dyes will start to dry up as well.

Well, personally I am hoping that unid dye prices go up. I still have my stockpile of 500+ I’m waiting on to sell.

I have 10,000 waiting until they are 1g each I’m expecting that will take another 6+ months or so. I’m sure I’m not the only one with a massive bank of these.

Haha, I’m also waiting for the 1g price limit. XD Maybe I should sell at 99 silver to get ahead of the curve.

I wouldnt be surprised, if in addition to the 40k listed on the tp atm, there are over 4 million left in players banks. Gonna be funny, if they introduce them into the new leveling reward loot tables.

Wanze, I suspect the hidden supply of unidentified dye is enormous.
Any veteran player would have received at least 1 or 2 stacks of these on 15 April.

Just 100K accounts with 1 stack each = 25M unidentified dye. Perhaps some has been consumed over the past 4+ months, but certainly not all.

I would assume there to be at least 10-15M unidentified dye in hidden supply.
