Seriously this needs to drop from more sources than the mystic toilet. The bags they come from is under .01% drop rate it seems…..

Any proof needed is just a simple glace at the trading post there’s currently 173 TOTAL listed to sell and they are at extreme bloated prices.

Why in the world are those so expensive, anyway? It looks like the only thing they’re good for is making the Juggernaut. Surely they aren’t that many people who want that particular legendary, are there?

Well, with the availability of the precursor increasing, more people are going to want to make it.

I expect plenty of players foresaw this and are hording the things.

/shrug. I guess there are. I don’t know of anything else they could be making but the prices have been like that for a very long time.

It’s up to 226 listed…. Also you people are looking at the api which hasn’t updated or something because inside of the game if you open the trading post there’s only 226 listed to sell and a stupid amount of buy orders.

Like don’t look through the api log in and look.

We are looking at gw2tp.com, which is accurate. If you are looking at the trading post in game, it won’t always show you all that are for sale. The scrolling isn’t all the way to the end.

They did actually, they are the current rare drop for map rewards in Snowden Drifts.

After testing a bit the rare mats like lodestones giant eyes and silver doubloons drop only once every like 15-20 events, so they can be farmed but only very slowly.

About as fast as leveling toons to 21 and sticking them in a JP.

Sometimes when I want to sell silver doubloons, the prices have gone lower than average and I can’t scroll to the higher prices. If I put the higher price in as a sell order the higher prices will then show up. The trading post doesn’t always scroll to the end if there are a lot of them.

That’s unfortunate. They need to be a bit more often than that. That’s 3750 events for one stack (assuming 1 per 15)

Go with Weyandt’s Revenge, it has two drops with the potential to be a doubloon compared to one anywhere else. The drop rate seems to be about 1 in 15, so each character parked there will get about 1 a week.

That’s where I have mine parked and I’ve noticed that also. At that jp it will average one silver doubloons per week per char. It’s not an efficient way to gain gold unless they are mules that won’t be going anywhere anyway, so they might as well open a chest to get the gear from the chest and the occasional doubloon.

I had a character parked there for months, reserving my Revenant’s name. Typically, though, I do a key farm every couple of weeks using a birthday scroll, then leave the key farm character at the JP until I reroll him.

I believe Fields of Ruin had them during a beta weekend.

Good idea, until the birthday scrolls give out. Mine are already gone so my key runner hangs out by the bank all week.

When HoT launched they started dropping in price and got as low as ~1g15s. I assumed it would continue so I only lazily picked up a few with the thought that after the dungeon nerfs we’d see widespread deflation and that gold would have more buying power. I really hope the current upward price trend(up to ~1g80s) isn’t going to continue. Maybe the next hammer legendary will bring it back down.

Yeah how these are doled out in the game is odd; and I think makes Juggernaut one of the harder legendaries to craft because of it. Other legendary materials drop normally if you’re level 80. Some rare but still drop. Silver Doubloons are only for level 20-30 characters from chests and some bags.

When I was crafting Juggernaut I had 3 characters parked at jumping puzzle chests for a month and only ended up with a handful from that. Realized my only choice was the TP if I didn’t want to wait an eternity. Even back then they hovered around 1g80s each.

I think there needs to be a way to get them otherwise or have them drop for everyone.

Price of doubloons is down since HoT. I sold all of mine a few weeks ago for close to 2g. They dropped down to close to 1g the day after launch — I’m sure that has influenced how many are left to sell on the TP, as anyone wanting them or wanting to speculate in them would have bought in bulk.

Prices are rising now, but they haven’t gone back to their peak yet. You can ring the alarm bell if prices hit 5g, but until then all we are seeing is a typical type of market fluctuation after a massive upheaval in the economy.

The bags they come from is under .01% drop rate it seems…..

I just wanted to correct you:
Light Bag of Skritt Shinies has a 1.25% chance of silver doubloon
Light Miner’s Bag has a 1.3% chance
Bag of Pilfered Goods has a 0.2% chance
Sack of Skritt Shinies has a 1.25% chance
Small Miner’s Bag has a 0.166% chance
Medium Bag of Skritt Shinies has a 1.23% chance
Light Bag of Booty has a 0.0956% chance
Heavy Bag of Skritt Shinies has a 0.9% chance
Small Bag of Skritt Shinies has 0.645% chance

as you see, much higher than 0.01%

This is characteristic of any magnificent chest.

I have a rotation of JPs i run through daily on my lvl 24. It nets me 1-3 doubloons every day.

To follow up, as of this post, price remains below 1g 70s, which is cheaper than what I earned (after taxes) when I sold all my silver doubloons before the launch.

In actual amounts, the supply today is running in the 4,000+ range. On Oct 1, it was running in the 3,700+ range — there are more doubloons available on the TP now than prior to launch. Similarly, the demand is running in the 5,100 range today; a month ago, it was over 6,700.

tl;dr supply is doing a better job of matching demand today than it was a month before launch, i.e. there isn’t an “extreme lack” of silver doubloons; it’s roughly the same “lack” as it was before.

You are my new hero Stitch. My key runner now has something to do all week.

I think the fall in price after HoT release had less to do with the value of gold and more to do with returning players selling their inventory.
