Brilliant Aether prices

Jodine · 11-04-2009, 06:03 PM

Hi ya, Brilliant Aether prices at my server is between 60k-100k, I'm trying to figure out if that's because a) it's pretty common OR b) the crafters haven't gotten to the point where they need them yet.

Thoughts?

There are quite a few expert crafters, but the real market is still lvl 30-40 and Brilliant Aether is for lvl 45+ items.

Also, since Expert crafters are only a few, they can decide to stop buying what they feel to be overpriced mats until the price is down to their liking.

A perfect exemple of this behavior can be observed on the Expert Major Armor Flux, it suddenly sells a lot less when it reaches 250k per flux. Most of time, only new expert crafters happy finally being one buy mats at outrageous prices to make an item just for the heck of it and feel good.

Expert market is a mature market, I've not seen anyone producing stuff for below total mat price yet so most if not all of them know what they are doing.

ppl. don't need brilliant stuff currently.

as soon as there is a demand for these things prices will skyrocket.

Agreed. If you're looking for a long term investment, Brilliant Aether is probably the single most underpriced item on any of the servers right now. Based on the drop rate, it should be about 350 times the cost of normal Aether, but when people start to buy it, the demand will almost definitely outstrip supply, so the prices will go much higher than that.

Prices went from 70k to 170k since the creation of this thread ;p

Not to mention Aether venom which will only make it harder to gather them. 0.5% chance isn't much.
