Doubled gossamer price = Ascended armor news?
There was a youtube interview mentioning ascended armor crafting “before the end of the year” according to a thread in the subforum crafting. I would assume that people finishing their ascended weapons are now making it their next goal to be ready for ascended armor, and bought the lower-priced supplies.
Yeah I know about the “before the end of the year” stuff but prices have been 4s for a long while after that.
Now in 2 days, prices have basically doubled all of a sudden.
There were quite alot gossamer stacked up between 4s and 8s-ish so it seems a bit weird.
I thought I had missed some news but maybe not then.
Edit: Apparently silk prices have grown quite a bit since 2 days ago too.
Evidently ascended armor has been added to the game files, because while it’s not obtainable yet, you can use chat codes to preview it. See this thread for chat codes if you’d like to see them yourself.
There hasn’t been any new official information about them, but if they’re going to be craftable, it stands to reason that the process might resemble that of ascended weapons, with the maximum crafting level bumping up to 500. That means a lot of people are going to be crafting exotics to level up, which means high demand for gossamer.
We’ve known / been able to speculate on this information for a while now, but the appearance of ascended armor in the database suggests the feature will be coming sooner rather than later, and has certainly raised attention to it, leading to higher prices.

That’s good, was getting tired of vendoring them
Sell your gossamer while you can. Once everyone hits level 400 in armor crafting, gossamers becomes worthless again.

It wouldn’t be 400 but 425. They would be buying it up not just to have it but to refine the first 25 levels. I don’t like how it seems everyone always knows things before I do in this game. It is like they have friends at Anet that give them the heads up on what about to happen. That is just like insider trading and is just as distasteful if that is what is happening. The preview on the Ascended armor seems to be only for the looks because the stats seemed very off. Plus there was no infusion slots which doesn’t seem right.

Another conspiracy theory…
We know since july that ascended armor are coming before the end of the year. Considering ascended weapons are already available and that 2013 has only 3 months left, its obvious armor will come rather soon. The armors skins being added to the game was just the trigger for some people that started to stock up gossamer, causing the price uprising.
The thing is that you need to create exotic items between lvl 475 and 500 because there’s no other way to level then.
That’s why Ancient wood became so expensive.
It is also pretty impractical to level up by crafting ascended materials since that’s pretty slow, so people craft even more exotics to get there faster.
The same will most likely apply for armor too.
im excited, coz now i dont haave to vendor them
