    It's a market, a lot of changes incoming (i.e. all dunmer magblades -> stamblades) so people are buying tempers for future use.

    You don't already have heaps of these? If you PvE every monster you kill seems to give you raw leather.

    And there was a noticeable price jump by 5-10% after most people got their 100k from the daily reward system (atleast that's what I think).

    Well, from my experience it's like 1 gold temper on 200 raw material. So for 1 character it's 48 dreugh wax (1 piece heavy) = 9600 of raw material - yeah that amount you will get from usual pve roaming, several month, hundreds of dungeons. But if you have a lot of characters, let's say 8, this is 76800! And this is a LOT of raw material.

    Disgustingly expensive on PC EU right now.
    Had to have been a 25-30% increase over the last 3-4 months.

    They sell for 6k per piece at PC-EU. The prices went up pretty fast. They used to be around 4.5.

    On Xbox EU most guilds actually cap the price people can sell it (per piece) and that’s at 6K

    Price manipulation
  • gary.mcleodeb17_ESO
    Could it be a case of the RNG of D wax (in particular) on refine dropping seems to have reduced? This might in turn reflect an increase in price. On a personal note, I enjoy foraging, harvesting materials, and do a lot of crafting writs. I'm lucky to have the time or energy to do so. However, I seem to drop more wax from doing crafting writs currently than I do refining silk, or leather. Just my observations. Incidentally I rarely sell wax as I generally use it myself. It's a beautiful feeling to have top end gear crafted regardless of the level of difference between elegant lining or dreugh wax.

    I can't believe Kutas are selling around 8k. I can still find them for 6k but 4k was a nice spot.

    Last Month I was buying wax for ~5K. noticed the price is now ~7k. Xbox NA. Supply also seems lower than ever in guild stores (all gold mats)

    Price hikes due to increased botting, anticipation of daily rewards of 100k, and pure greed. I rarely buy gold mats, other than rosin, but when I do its the odd 1 or 2 pieces, so the increase doesn't bother me much. It is an unwelcome spike none the less.

    Very basic marketing strategy....

    Everything is Worth what someone is willing to pay for it....or sell it for.

    Those chat social merchant warriors always flip out if you dare price anything beyond what their precious MM or TTC tells them what an item is worth.
    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    I've noticed the jump from 5K to 7K-8K as well. I guess i'll have to hold off on golding out gear until these crackhead prices subside. And i've checked every trader in the game and it feels like a little more than half of them don't have any wax.
