Has anyone noticed the sudden price jack in a lot of things? Haste 2 for example, 4 days ago 90k now 300k, and Oxblood up from 70k to 110k. No other server is having this happen to them as far as I can see, from what I've heard Haste II is even worth 30k on some servers, so what's going on with the sudden price jumps?

Greed is legit when it's about economy.

I've had lots of people tell me my coins of birth only worth 25-30k, however they keep selling for 100k.

Something is worth what someone is willing to pay.

The Reforged items available through the Login campaign all seem to go up in price at the end of the campaign. Griffin hides on Valefor went from 3k to 300k during the last one.

Given those two particular examples, I would have thought it had something to do with how RDM is being used more now. Is the Reforge piece Oxblood is used to make for RDM any good toward its newfound usefulness? If so, then that could be part of your answer.

the Campaign Campaign allowed Haste II to drop, I imagine it ending might be in part why the prices shot up, since theres now less supply
