Guild Wars 2

I have a feeling the spikes in T6 mats today are gonna be the new norm. Or do you think it’ll balance out in a few weeks back to pre-legendary armor announcements.

I know myself I’m frustrated as I am working on Incinerator, and was hoping to be able to keep my costs lower with the 30-35 silver buy orders, but from say the Vials or Powerful Blood I need it went from being 75 gold to 96 gold (not a huge spike, but every gold counts).

Not complaining per say, just didn’t expect the announcement of legendary armors, or I would have bought my mats beforehand XD. Just more so concerned that these will be the new norm for pricing (as many of these mats hovered in the 30-35 silver range for a long time)

T6 materials are a pretty fluid market. The supply doesn’t stick around long so things should rebalance pretty quickly. Keep putting in your buy orders at the price you want to pay and they should eventually fill.

Okay, cool, I mostly concerned this was going to be a permanent problem as there isn’t REALLY good sources to farm most of the T6 mats (well none that I know of that I don’t want to kill myself afterwards XD)

If you have spare laurels, buy heavy crafting bags from the laurel merchant

LOL, the real fun is in T4 mats. Check out engraved totems. So many people rushing to get mats directly after a major announcement like legendary armor, even though it is the worst time time buy. It will settle back down in a bit.

Medium crafting mat bags for laurels are showing as 50% more return vs. heavy bags at the time of writing this.

Maybe I should just sell my T6 now and buy them all back later when I’ll need them.

It’s only spiking because of the legendary armour announcement. People are buying up stuff they suspect will be used, either for their own use or so they can sell it back to people at a (hopefully, for them) even higher price once the armour is released.

But give it a few weeks and it will calm down.

In the meantime if anyone has any mats they don’t want now is the time to sell.

It will be a temporary spike. It only spiked because a lot of people are trying to cash in on it quick, eithe rpeople who haven’t yet gathered the mats for leg armor, or people who are trying to gather as many aspossible , to then sell to people trying to craft leg armor.

And btw, your 21 gold “not a big spike” was about a 30% increase in spike, which is actually pretty noticeable, and in my opinion pretty sizeable. It only seems not that big because its just 20 gold, but its still quite noticeable nonetheless

I’ve never lost money doing that. (Although I’m fairly careful about when I sell, when I buy.)

Crud, here I haven’t been buying any spikes!

So it’s time to SELL SELL SELL like in the stock market?

This is not a bad idea. Basically you can buy a few daily, and then you pick a map with a good rotation for map rewards, and use them all in the map.
