Price on Tri stat potions in traders are high because only way to get enough flowers to make sales is to farm bosses in imperial city.
And how long it took You to farm that numbers? Because once during IC event I was able to farm similar numbers as Yours in 3 days of farming. Yes I got close to 10k of each flower (columbines were higher than that and corn flowers were lower) in 3 days of farming. it was during a time when there was still low lv IC and it was completly empty even during the event and on my low lv werewolf character I was able to farm over 500k tel vars per hour (almost 29k tel vars per boss which took me 1,5-2 minutes to solo kill). I got like 6M tel vars in those 3 days so as You can count I wasn't even farming that hard. Of course it's an extreme example almost impossible to recreate these days but it shows how much potential is in IC farm when it's done properly.
Do bosses in IC for 3 days and then do daily writs for 3 days and see the diffrence
If you regulary selling tri pots you wont get enough from writs or farming flower nodes.
People in this thread dont want to farm the flowers themself but saying they are to expensive in traders.
Edit: In a good trader on ps5eu i can easily sell 30-40 stacks of tri pots every week, you cant get that much flowers from just writs and surveys every week.
