Silk Highest Since Feb
For those of us sitting on a metric ton of silk, I for one welcome our new speculative overlords.
Each unit of the base ascended cloth material is likely to use 150 silk scraps.
Also, I suspect silk is being thrown into the forge by the digital truckload. After what happened with ancient wood when weapons were released, a ton of people started prepping for the same thing to happen when the armor comes. We’ll see how much difference a couple months of preparation makes.
you will need 50 bolt of silk per day to make the ascented cloth material
Considering you’ll need 6x as many bolt things as you needed for armor and the fact that each bolt will take 150 silk scraps, I can see silk rising a bit. However it depends on how many people have been stockpiling and how many people go straight for ascended armor.
It is hard to say what the demand will be. There has never been ANY demand for silk. Mithril and elder wood was used constantly for making rares to forge. Silk has never seen any actual use. For the first time since launch silk will be used in large quantities by everyone in the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if it topped 1s at least briefly.
Silk drop like flies though, won’t be long before it will reach merchant value again. Especially if it’s time-gated to once a day.

and you can transmute it to gossamer – cheaper than to buy gossamer
bolts too

Obviously, you’re assuming a plethora of free crystalline dusts, no?
Now the speculators for Ascended armor are just going crazy.
Silk aint gonna be used fools. Stop bubblin’.
<sarcasm>Spool of Silk Weaving Thread..hmmm….I wonder if that would require silk.</sarcasm>
And by the way, here may be a source of why silk is rising:
