Hyperinflation??

[Akaee]

Yesterday recipe custom gem shield in cs 100k. Was a bit short on cash so couldnt buy. Today a new try and now asking price 700k??????? Lol a complete customized shield goes for 300. I sure can wait till the price is normal again but do wonder why birds gear has to be so extreme expensive in the first place and why prices flutter so extreme.

Oh, raid is pretty cheap compared to it's counterparts fury and mega mage.

But yes, I hate how recipies are always jacked way up.

[Akaee]

Exactly, its mainly the recipies that hurt and spoil the fun it could be to enhance your gear.

atm BS isnt really farmed... the pieces in CS get bought and theres no more supply... so prices rising is normal right now..

This. And because of difficult drop rates.

I suggested making mini bosses drop recipes again, no reply from devs:/

Its simple one idiot prices at a crazy price and the rest of the flock follows. All they did was add 2ms and 5 critical to the bonus and now its super inflated. Ive sold full custom recurve sets for under 1m before gcd update and now the greedy fat cats want 800k just for a recipe.

problem isnt the they put in CS with crazy prices. when theres ppl to willing to pay such prices they are at the right place. if not the auctions runs out of time and they have to insert lower. its all autoadjusting: supply<==>demand

I'm not so sure it's that simple, the economy has always been based on supply and demand. People want the custom recurve set because of its crit, and the recipes are scarce. I believe (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) that the recipe drops are more rare than the legendary items needed to craft from. Currently there is no custom helm, recurve, or armor in CS; which means the only way to get one is to craft one. There are plenty of wing recipes that are twice what the actual crafted item is going for (that is strange) but I assume that it has something to do with the fact that the recipe is more rare than the shield itself. The helm/armor recipes are high because they are the only ones in CS and there are no already crafted items (it's a bit like a monopoly). Part of me agrees with your idiot and flock theory, but I can also see where they believe it's just business.

Totally agree with this, but they have to make Beargular in the Bank Vault not drop pinks because then recipe prices would go too low. I'm pretty sure this was the only reason they stopped all mini bosses dropping recipes.

I meant mini bosses in the main story line, not those extra maps
But yeah, Beargular would be so easy to farm then lol...

This could be a nice touch if the devs can indeed limit it to just the "main story" mini-bosses and not the daily quest ones. That would make Catspaw, Oil Slick, Stench as the only perm (farmable) mini-bosses; Blanky, Drusila, Ooze, Goop and Noodles as random mini-bosses (as rare as pink drops themselves). Nice idea *jumps on bandwagon*

Edit: The best part is that the perm minis are deep within the map, and the random minis are so rare that it would be very time consuming to remake the map in hope of a random spawn.

Anyone can put up any asking price they want. The real question is what was it actually sold for that dictates the going rate for the item. In a free market economy, supply and demand dictates price. If the aggregate population is willing to pay 700k for the item, then that's the going rate. Right or wrong, it's no different in game than in real life.

^^^^ What he said. Are prices stupid high? Yes. Are people willing to pay stupid high prices? Some are. Therefore prices swing up and down from normal to really high.

Supply and demand. Not saying it is right or wrong, but it is what it is. It is like this in ANY game with a CS/Auction House. And always will be.

Hopefully they will let recipes drop from regular mini-bosses. The fools that glitch-farmed Bearglur ruined that for everybody, once the devs realized what was being done.

Pretty much how I'm planning on making a ton of money. I'll just wait for prices to hit their low and then sell when they hit their high. You can easily make 100k per item.

The demand is up, and the supply is way down because a lot less people have been farming sewers the past couple of weeks. First, everyone was farming meatheads deli for rabbit ears (which made the price for lvl 5 recipes come way down because people were getting them while farming for ears); now this week most lvl 50+ players have been farming the new Sandstone Caves just because it is new.

When everyone is bored of Sandstone (I am) they will get back to Sewers, more recipes will drop, and prices will come back down a bit.
