Globs of Ectoplasm and Inflation
I think people are overlooking that gaining money is easier also. I mean, in one hour of on and afking and killing karka I made 2g. Fractal farmers make moar gold.
Inflation is never fun for buyers. But is part of an expanding economy.
Also the fact that nobody is crafting any more so all mats crashed. Everyone is just doing fractals it seems.
I replied in another thread about this, and I don’t have time to find the specific numbers, but if you look at the data for ectos on gw2spidy you will note that the prices started rising around 1 November.
From about that point the number of sell listings dropped by a significant amount, while the number of buy orders has increased by a much smaller margin. It’s also worth noting that the increase in demand occured about a week prior to the Lost Shores patch and the introduction of ascended gear.
My 2 copper? The price increase is mostly due to the decreased supply caused by mass ban waves of bots, while the slight increase in demand is probably due to factors other than the introduction of ascended gear.

Out of curiosity, is that with M/F gear and selling drops? Do karka just drop more coin? I found the Southshore zone to be uninspiring when I visited and have still been farming in Orr.
He is farming the vials of powerful blood which are used in glass cannon gear and thus tend to be the most expensive.

Yeah. And I am getting rares/dyes. Karka shells sell well. Potent Blood can be converted to Powerful blood with the mystic forge.
I have 170ish MF on my ranger.

Thanks, Lotus.
Karka actually drop properly now?
I have 170ish MF on my ranger.
This is only the gear or with other MF buffs like food, boost, guild banners/upgrades etc ?
I think that roughly from the gear you can have 150% MF max :
6 slots for clothes, 6 for trinkets + 3 weapons (1 two handed for superior sigil and 2 one handed).
+45% if All 15 slots of weapons/clothes/trinkets are traveler +3% MF each
60% for 5 superior runes of noble/traveler/pirate + 1 more of different MF type
24%, for 6 upgrades with exotic opal jewels on the trinkets, 4% each
6%, for 2 upgrades with opal orbs on each 1 handed weapon equipped
15% if there is 25 stacks from superior sigil of luck on the 2 handed weapon
Is there something i’m missing here?
The odd thing is that, at least for me, since fractals came out I have been getting significantly more globs per day than ever before.
Hopefully I will be finishing mystic clover this weekend so that I can start saving 250, but I honestly believe I’ve had in the order of ~100 ectos drop for me in the last week and a half.
edit – try to do level 8 and level 10 every day cause i just want to get my ascended backpack before climbing higher. i’m at 900 relics right now).

18% from weapon… (sigil of luck/3% weapon)
60% from 5x Runes of Pirate + 1 Rune of Traveler (you want Pirates because they’re cheaper and 1 Traveler for the extra 10%)
35% from my ornaments (7% per)
3% back pack (put a gem in there)
18% from MF exotic armor (6×3)
26% from food (Omnoms not as cost effective imo)
10% from guild
10% from banner if I find one
Comes out as 180… can crank it up with a MF booster… but I only use those for lodestone farming.
Sorry for not clarifying the food, other bonuses…
What ornaments are you using at 7% a pop?
failure is still a monumental success, assuming
losses remain within acceptable parameters.
What ornaments are you using at 7% a pop?
Opal orichalum ring/amulet/earrings of the Explorer. They have 3% on them, and 4% in the Exquisite Opal Jewels that came with them.
