I'm not talking about the crown store, I'm talking about the ones you get in game. They really are not that rare(look at any guild trader)plenty in market. You really can't use them as most use drop sets. These things on Xbox can go up to 200-300k for newer ones then start to drop after they been out awhile.

I just don't understand what makes them so high in value. Can anyone inform me on where the hell these prices come from is it just players knowing people will pay out large sums of gold to have it? Is it the fact they are needed to do master writs?

Just seems a little off for something that can't really be used other then to make a low lvl look cool or make grinding gear until you get ur ugly drop set together.

    Collecting is a metagame.

    Further, for most content, there is almost no difference between BIS dungeon/trial sets and crafted sets. In some cases, crafted can be BIS.

    the ones that sell for a lot? ARE in fact rare and take a long time to farm/a lot of effort and luck.
    dirty worthless casual.

    At this point their only value is collecting, serve no utilitarian purpose since crafted sets are rarely used.

    give it awhile and prices will go down, you just need give time for the market to get enough of new motifs. lol I remember when Daedric, ancient elf, Barbarian, Primal, and Imperial motifs came out. now look what they go for, Imperial being only one that is really worth anything to sell out of the four

    Those are also 100% full motif drops, that's why aren't worth no where what they were before, you have to be ultra lucky to find new golden books
