Wow, things have really changed: I paid something like 100k for my Torpor back in the day, but I got my epic for ... well I got the tear for just 10k, and then got random server people to help me with the fight ... but even the tear with a raid force was only selling for like 50k back then.
I'm kind of surprised the tear is so expensive, especially on Blue. There must be an army of alt Shaman being created, or else some guild is monopolizing the Fear golems and raising prices. |
Yeah prices have changed a lot. I bought Torpor for 80k I think, and tear for 75k years ago from a guildie before Green came out, right before the price jumped. Tear was like 120k with the final fight for years, even during Green. Tear prices finally started coming down again recently, 75k is pretty cheap compared to what it was.
Tears are just rarer with the Fear revamp. Sounds like you got your tear before the Fear revamp based on the price and date. Often times the tears go to guildies for DKP, so extra rarity + less market availability drives the price up. They also added a raid rule a few years ago that requires you to leave Fear and re-enter it whenever a raid target spawns. This basically killed the Fear farm crews. Now only Hate is still viable for farm crews doing things like Earth Staff.
