Seems every year during the mad king halloween event the price of candy corn shot up to 1-1.5s for the duration, think it’ll be the same for this year(would it be worth mass buying a bunch of candy corn to resell then?)

Good attempt at market manipulation…. guess someone has been sitting on a few stacks biding their time to try and hike the prices…. 3/10 for effort

During the times between the last 3 halloween events, candy corn wasnt available, so its supply was pretty limited before halloween came around again. But last year they introduced maize balm, which made trick or treat bags available all year round.

Before last halloween, there was always less than 1 million supply of candy corn on the tp, now we are close to 20 million.

I doubt there will be a price spike for candy corn right before halloween this year.

It did not do this last year, since you were showered with the candy corn by getting them in milions in the trick or treat bags and also by mining them. Buying them is not really gonna give you profit.

I’m expecting the price to drop like a rock myself. ~20 million on the trading post and the candy corn faucet about to be turned wide open. I can’t imagine the price going up unless they put in something really nice that requires an incredible amount of candy corn to buy.

Here’s something they could put in…..
In game from Sonder the Seller: Legendary armor pieces. 20 Cobb each. ^^

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

This.

I think they did a neat job last year- there were lots of goodies purchasable with candy corn cobs. But most people bought the stuff they wanted last year.

I’ll probably get the 20-slot bags on most of my alts for cheap…

ArenaNet made the mistake of oversupplying candy corn, which they attempted to fix the next year by nerfing its sources and increasing costs. Foolishly however, they then released maize balm that just wrecked it, and made every other source of candy corn a waste of time. The clock tower for example used to give twice as much and you could speed run it twice as much per hour (they force you to wait a round after completing it now).

I wouldn’t be surprised if they nerf maize balm this year and/or increase the costs again. They may do nothing however except nerf the instance. If they don’t however, remember to exploit it like everyone else rather than completing it.

Anyone with HoT will likely be too busy to care, so there may not be a larger spike in supply this year. I doubt there’ll be anything new however, so there’s also no reason to farm/buy candy corn for that reason.
