But really. It seems like everyone is using them these days, and they’re not cheap to make. So why do so many remain on the TP for so little? There are a few other items like this as well that never seem to increase much in cost despite widespread use, but this one has mystified me for so long. Any ideas?
[Sorry if this appears like I’m trying to affect the market, but i’m really just curious. I’ll even give a few away for free of anyone wants one.]
First of all, i dont think they are popular as you think because supply is higher than demand. The main supply for this Sigil also doesnt come from crafting but from the mystic forge. That explains the relative low TP price compared to the crafting costs of ~1g. The price on the TP took a further dip after ascended crafting came along and the introduction of Essence of Luck. That resulted in alot of salvaged weapons supplying the market with a high influx of sigils and dumping sigil (and rune) prices across the board.
Buy them up for cheap, toss them into the Forge on days with a Forgesmith daily. It’s what I do. Who knows, you may even get lucky and get an expensive sigil from it.
They can’t? I’ve seen Superior Sigils show up as valid items to throw into the Forge, although so far I’ve just been Forging Minor and Major runes/sigils. You can forge 4 random Exotic items together, can’t you?
1. Poison is not a popular debuff in PvE, due to the relatively small amount of damage it causes. It’s mostly popular in PvP, due to the decreased healing it causes. This considerably affects demand, which is largely PvE driven.
2. Superior sigils cannot be forged. Some can be forged, but not in combination with other sigils. They can, however, be used in the forge to create a legendary gift. Like the sigil of purity needed to forge the gift of the dreamer.

You were never able to put 4 exotic upgrade components (runes/sigils/jewels) or minis into the MF and get a random new exotic.
Funny how you state in your prior post “that´s what you do” and now say, you only been forging masterwork and rare sigils.

Those Superior Sigils are for crafting various weapons such as the Feathers of Dwayna.
Exotic rune/sigil forging was apparently disabled within about a month of release.

I think this is the response I was looking for, and a good lesson for me. As I play mostly WvW, I ignored that the majority of players focus on PvE, and that poison is of much less use there. Thanks for the response, and a good TP/speculating lesson for me as well.
