Comments
Thats why in my previous comment I said, put in dungeons that are more frequently ran. Just because supply and demand is a thing doesn't mean that is an answer and it is a correct answer. We currently are in massive shortage through the titan embers, the prices are high because of that. The prices shouldn't be this high period.
Titan eases are currently more obtainable through a way that people who don't even want these materials are getting them, so these people that have little care on how much they might be able to get out of them, and on how common they are, put titan eases on the broker not thinking about the price to just get rid of them, thus making the armor etchings way cheaper.
This PROVES that the main problem is the Titans Ember supply, and not demand.
So to fix the problem a good way is to make titan embers more easily obtained in way people can get without wanting them/endless through vanguards perhaps just like eases or maybe just drop in every lower tier dungeon that new players tend to run and also the higher tier dungeons as well? this would in fact make the prices go down.
No, that wont fix it. As far as we talking of etching being a complete RNG based profession. Scarab, white denrite, pure titan ease an pure fire are product of crit (RNG). Those items are needed to craft an etching, a TEMP one for 3 days. Now to get perma one, one has to crit on etching.
So its all about RNG. Not the availability of titan ease or titan fire.
There is a simple solution, rework those formulas or make those items obtainable other ways then criting on crafting.
Yes creating such a surplus in the item could substantially make the price of etching 3s go down. otherwise armor etching would be 200k as well. If they don't want to touch formulas they do not have to at all. All they have to do is decrease the price of the supplies by putting a surplus into the market by making it easier to obtain the items.
Did you read what i wrote? For perma etch 3 one need pure titans, then he/she needs to crit on crafting to get perma etching.
Price doesn't come to 1 try, price is accumulated tries to crit +profit +demand.
The huge part of it is 'tries to crit'
And yes which is the same for armor etching 3s, but armor etching 3s is 50k-70k
believe you or not, crit % on etches that are made from ease (products of ease) are significantly higher, then ones you get from titan fire.
I crit or refining ease about 1 outta 10-20. Titan fire >.< if i get 1 outta 50-60 tries I'm happy. I don't craft t3s cos too poor for that. But i refine for t2s.
Pure titan ease is being sold for 1-1.5k, Pure titan fire i easily sell for 12k.
Supply of fire is fine, belive me. GG and FWC are more then enough
If you look at patch notes they are said to have the same chances, there was never anything about them having different % chances they even had a patch to increase the crit's of t3 etchings. Embers should be the same as eases. They are the same crit chances. The only supply is GG and fwc, after u finish all ur vanguards. I only know few people who spam those enough to really get an amount that matters. and if for some reason they lied about %'s not being the same with embers and eases, then they could fix that easily without out changing the % by making a lot more drop from other dungeons that are more frequently ran like DFnm DFHM, SSHM, SSnm, MM. DSL, DSU.
So I have to believe to patch notes but not own experience? Here is what, roll master on etching try to crit, then we talk
Even if they're the same you can't expect the same outcome... This is why for example when it comes to enchanting you have people who get to 15 in 10 tries and others who exceed 200 tries. It's the same for everyone, but due to rng being rng you end up with very different results each time.
Actually, for T3 Perm etch it needs 2 Pure Titans.
But besides the point that Ember is not as easily obtain as Ease, most people will always upgrade Weapon first especially those who have limited funds or mats for VM equipments. Hence this adds to more demand on the Titan Ember side of lack of supply. If they're not adjusting the crit rate, then as most users above suggested...more efficient ways to farm Ember.
So... can I get like a source from where you got this percentage from Nektor?
Trust me I've tried for a single pure fire with over 200 embers and not seen an single one. But gotten many pure eases with much less amount. From my experience etching I can safely say pure titan's fire have a waaaaaaaaaay lower rate than critting a II etching. So with such a low crit rate It's no surprise the prices are so high. Specially since you need 2 pure fire for 1 III attempt!
Titan ember are easily obtainable in Ghilliaglade and people say it is not worthy to do it,
the same people that don't want to pay 150k on weap/glove etch 3
