Guild Wars 2

What happened to the rune crafting market? There was a time not so long ago that I was able to make between 12 and 20 gold a night crafting runes for sale. I made enough money to craft my second legendary and took a trading post break. I’ve recently returnedto the market to find it in shambles. The margins suck. The rate of turnaround is horrible. Runes that used to sell in 30 minutes sat all night as the lowest sale offer until I got frustrated and pulled them to sell at buy prices just to recoup. Rune crafters, use this post to vent or tell me that I’m wrong and I need to search out other runes because at THIS point I’ve given up on the market…

People learned how to craft them for themselves? I know I would not pay more than what it costs to craft.

I think a combination of people preparing for ascended armor by leveling up all armor crafting, and the fact that luck comes from salvaging which also produces a ton of sigils/runes for mystic toileting upgrades killed this margin.

People discover lucrative markets and over-supply them.

Unless it’s a market with such a high demand that it consistently outstrips supply, it’s bound to happen eventually.

^ This. Most runes aren’t nearly as rare as they used to be since salvaging blues and greens is finally useful.

Plus there was an update a while back which removed the ability to forge 4 random Superior Runes/Sigils together to get back a random Superior Rune/Sigil. This has made most unwanted Sup Runes/Sigils practically worthless.

That was over a year ago.
