Guild Wars 2

With every patch we see some outrageous prices. The new materials are ridiculously high in price on the TP. To get one set of Nomad’s armor you need 80+ Gold. That is a ridiculous amount of gold. It is equivalent to running dungeons for approximately 80 runs or (80 runs)(20 minutes/run) = 1600 minutes

1600 minutes = 27 hours.

Give it time.

Prices are always inflated during the initial release because of people trying to make a quick gold piece.

You make more than 1 gold doing a dungeon run

I can’t wait for prices to drop. I’ve always been curious about what it would feel like to hit like an ambient creature!

Do you have to purchase an inscription recipe to be able to refine the Ambrite into sheets?

Also, make sure you click on the item in the TP to find out the actual price. The price you see on the first TP page when you search for a new item can be misleading. Just like when I searched for nopales. The search page said 1 gold a piece. But when I actually clicked on it to get the ‘buy’ page it was around 4s, 15 c.

But, at any rate, like Azhure said: In time supply v demand should bring the price down.

There is already a thread related to the effectiveness of TVH gear.

Perhaps your negativity would feel more at home there, instead of this thread that is concerned over the prices of materials – not the stat itself.

Yeah I calculated the prices by making sure that all the materials need for crafting had the correct price on the TP. My calculation shows that you need 80+ gold to get a set of armor on 7/5/14.

I think the problem here is that there is not a lot of supply. To craft these armors you need an exaggerated amount of Ambrite. I have farmed the materials since the patch was released and so far I managed to get only 4 sheets of Ambrite. You need 5 sheets to craft ONE miserable piece of armor.
