An infinite WC Cap and Elder Beads are so completely non-equivalent its ridiculous. One would actually be useful (WC Cap), the other (outside of ToV) gets used almost never or is used when not needed to show off.

You are missing the point, which is to demonstrate that a slight improvement in QoL can be worth a lot of money. The point wasn't to compare two items which are obviously very different.

One of the big resellers in EC was just explaining to me how he regularly manipulates the market. He says he raised the price on beads and T-staffs. <shrugs>

This market is retarded anyways. There's no reason that shaman spells should cost 10x as much as other classes, but they do.

I mean if you have full raid gear, you have to chase the few things that make you better in some situations. What good is 500k in your bank when there is only 1-2 upgrades available to you.

Stalking probes cost 3pp

Quite probably a lot of folks don't realize that probes even exist, while Elder Beads are a famous and widely-known item.

Or Druiding around with a Robe of the Springs.

Manastone is 3:1

250 health pr 12 sec = 83,3 mana
83,3/2 = 41,7 mana pr tick

Minus the 21 mana pr tick you lose from not sitting
Minus the 15 regen you lose pr tick for not wearing a fungi = 5 mana pr tick
Minus the 3 natural regen bonus from sitting = 1 mana pr tick

Net gain with robe of the spring 41,7 minus 27 = 14,7 mana pr tick.

The price of beads started going up passed 100k after the leash/aoe/ &aggro nerf when standing from fd. Being able to aggro mobs and train them without having aggro still when you stand from fd is unmatched in terms of QoL and saving time (not having to wait for mobs to reset) also makes pulling infinitely less dangerous.

A monk without beads can not and never will be as good as a monk with beads. Period. If you think stocking probes are an acceptable substitude then you are a sub-par monk without the appropriate clickies taking up slots. A monk needs about 40inventory slots for clickers vesides stalking probes, leaving room for maybe 1 bag of probes which is 40 charges. Sometimes you use 3-5 clicks of beads to split 1 mob.

Beads will go up in price to 750k.
