For GW2 there are websites where you can see the price of items over time and how they have previously responded to various events, armor updates, new releases, etc. I don’t know if there is any such site for ESO as I imagine it would be much more difficult without a global trading post. Also the absence of a global trading post tends to keep prices all over as people posting items for sale don’t have instant information on how many other people are selling and for what price.

This weekend there was much more than usual offers to buy gold and furnishing mats in zone chat and not always horrible offers but would probably make a nice profit for the buyers if they are able to flip the mats at current prices. It can be a win-win, especially if one is not in a trading guild but would like to sell the mats.

Thanks!

I found prices stayed about the same, but big swings in prices per guild store (the usual)

Mournhold prices were about the same, and higher than other places.

So much for my economic theories. Back to harvesting.....

Mat prices never really change too drastically. At this point, people that do writs consistently have humongous amounts of mats already so offer is not really affected that much by events. I've never experienced mat prices changing drastically during those events (though it has been a while since I traded heavily).

The only things that really cause huge price spikes/drops are motif events and when big names publish builds with BoE gear that was not really used before.

A motif event can send the price of a page from 200k to 30k in days. A big content creator releasing a build can send the prices for the pieces of that BoE gear from 0 to even 1 million in a day as well.

Other than that, prices in ESO are actually quite stable. Mat prices always go up leading up to patches. A lot of people that sell mats from writs hold on to them a little to see if they will need to change gears, then when the patch drops several people changes gears in multiple characters, so offer goes down and demand goes up.

In my experience it never lasts more than 2-3 weeks, though, then it all goes back to normal.

Looks like prices did not budge!

that 2 for 1 temper sale never happened.

harvesting is still crazy, people still making the rounds!

FYI - I did a Jewelry Survey during the event - same number of drops 18-20 per cluster. No doubling.

The survey nodes are never affected by double mat drops or any other changes/additions to standard harvesting nodes.
