Etching Price Discussion

Right now in MT, the price of etching 3s wep/glove have gone up by 70k to 100k in a couple weeks.

The price for an etching should not be matching the price to buy a +15 piece of Starfall. The price in broker for an energetic etching 3 weapon, right now is 240k. Granted if you might be able to negotiate down to 200k.

The price of an etching should be nowhere around this price. It should be around the price of armor etching or maybe a little more, would be acceptable. 70k-100k.

Would be nice if other people posted their thoughts about the prices on these etchings. I would think other people would feel the same and would love to know.

    Never gonna happen as long as it is still based on rng...price is never really gonna go down and the fact that Titan Ember cannot be obtain as easy as Titan Ease.

    I think this is the point that he's trying to make. There needs to be a more efficient way to farm for titan embers or/and the crit rate needs to be adjusted for the lack of materials.

    Etching prices have gone up a large amount. I think a way we can fix this is to add Titan Ember as a post Vanguard reward kind of like how Titan Ease is right now. Some people have like upwards of 500 extra Titan Ease because of this. If Titan Ember was part of this as well, then maybe it would fix this issue.

    Titan Ember can be for PvE extra Vanguards and Titan Ease can be for PvP extra Vanguards. Or the other way around, doesn't really matter.

    kill urself racist [filtered]

    I agree

    This needed to be fixed weeks ago!!

    For all that was done to fix the supply of alkahest and feedstock, I can't understand why EME hasn't stepped in on this one, as well.

    Please EME, introduce more Titan embers, TODAY!! The longer the supply is so low, the crazier prices will get.

    Etchings were never intended to be this difficult to make. Titan's Embers used to be a dime a dozen!
  • YamazukiYamazuki ✭✭✭✭✭
    There definitely needs to be more ways to get them. I'm not sure why they decide to hand us a bunch of Titan's Ease but then don't want to do the same for Titan's Ember. BHS also said a while ago a lot of their players use more than one character, who wants to spend 300k+ for etchings per character?

    Well, all the other materials that needed to make etching have gone up in prices as well. Can't "fix" one thing if the others are just gonna be the same or worst. Last I remember when they have the Titan Ember/Ease event thingy, it did help with the supplies of those two but unfortunately greatly increased prices on the other mats (mostly due to lack of farmers). Etching prices stayed more or less the same. If it were up to me, I'll have them fix the crit rate instead...even with the lack of supplies we have atm, having more chance to crit will help reduce prices. I guess that's why you can see those other "additives" there...must be their remedy.

    Side note: I want to be able to salvage all the tier 3 etching's from my previous sets of VM gear.

    Honestly, the entire etching system needs a huge revamp! But until then, if it ever even happens, we need some sort of stop gap measure.
  • Theres no fixing the math is there. 400g per Titan Ember 100 costing 40k normally it is 2/33 Pure Titan Fire Crit (I say normally sometimes it gets weird RNG) . Pure Titans are 18k atm each. So thats 36k. Then not including RNG and mats for making the Tier 2 Etching Thats anywhere from another 10k to 60k depending on crap rng or not. Then Master Additive, Oils and Etching Kit thats another 2-3k . So every try costs on average 60k and you can waste 300k in mats fast. Not including price of the design which is around 200k (glove energetic), time gathering , making dendrites ( unless you wanna spend 28k buyingg a tier 2), production points (valued @ 55g a pp price set by Crafter Cures from NPC) and getting oils. Morale of the story Titan Embers, Scarabs and God Tears get raised so do etchings. If you have a problem with it spend the 120k to become a master buy the design and then do it yourself.

    So you are basically saying there isn't enough items obtained in the game to make prices go down? that is a very fixable situation. Eme does have ability to change loot tables. To actually put embers in dungeons that are run more often and make them drop more.

    The main reason is people are not running enough GG. The price went up because people have designs now and new VM7 gear that need etch.
    Is just a question of supply and demand. If that is the price of the etch 3, there are people buying at that price.
