So now that maintenence is about to start...

I didn't want to post this earlier, as there was still a full weekend day to play.

But now that the hotfix is starting in about 24 hours, I'm curious as to how many other crafters decided to dump their stocks of diremite and fleece in the market over the last couple days.

With the welcome addition of additional sources (or at least increased yield from existing sources) of these two roadblock Weaving items, I thought it was a fairly safe bet to predict a good return. I think it's called a Bull market?

Anyway, just curious how it played out. I could only get on for a couple hours early this morning.

Edit: wrong date!

You're a day off, dude. Today is the 13th.

Ever since the announcement, I have deliberately avoided buying Fleece.

Ah, you're right - my mistake. I'm at work during the maintenence window and completely spaced the date.

I had already dumped my stock of fleece pre announcement. But I did look at the boards last night and its crazy how many people are selling now. The market will be bottomed out by Monday, and then you watch, they will only be adding in 7 more mobs of each for farm and calling it fixed lol.

While the farming was limited, I don't really think it was that bad. You just gotta pick times when nobody else is there. Having a lot of options to do, is also a big help.

When I queue for a dungeon, or am just bored, I'll go check the regular Diremite/Fleece areas. If they aren't all taken up, there's my camping spot. If they are populated, I go do something else. Some people are just so dense, they get one activity they want to do, and somehow, for some strange reason, they think that's their only option atm... Glad I'm not that guy.

can you guys please explain to me what you are talking about? what is happening to the market and why are people selling things?

i never know where to look for in-game changes like these...

A couple rare and expensive crating materials are being made more common. People are selling their excess before the prices drop.
