***Answer the question, are fungi tunics not dropping? Why are they rising in price?

Climate vs weather? If the planet is heating up (climate change) why is it so cold this day/week/month (weather)???

Don’t confuse small short term fluctuations in price with global price movement over time. Fungi used to consistently sell north of 65-70k (and even higher at times). The fact that you could and still can scoop one up for 40s would have been unthinkable at one point. Small temporary bumps to 50-55k range mean nothing. It and many other items have been steadily dropping with time.

Most items follow this trend. Others like CoF will hold their value to the bitter end. 36% worn haste is just too sweet to not be hugely valuable.

There are some exceptions where changes to the game (patches) change the market dynamic. This could be a patch removing future drops (CoS, mana stone, fungi sticks), a patch that changes content mechanics (fear golems, chardok aoe mechanic nerf), or a change in actual game mechanics (pending 2h dmg bonus + triple attack for monks, sneak pull nerf, etc).

why would the most OP item in game ie Fungi rise over time? Its classic. I also believe in increased demand. Long story why its so but you'll see. Supply will remain same, if not lower with the chardok rewamp. Supply might fall sharply after new server is out but thats very long term. The upside to Fungi long term is huge and it will pass CoF eventually i am betting.

I agree with Lhance. This doesn't make any sense. It's not going to pass CoF in price either. Fungi tunics never stop dropping, and are easily and consistently farmed on a daily basis. Your theory is simply bad. Although, I don't think it's a theory at all. It's quite obvious you attempt to manipulate the market. And if it is genuinely the way you feel, I will chalk it up to drugs.

I’d wager hell will freeze over before Fungi costs more than CoF. One drops from groupable content — potentially multiple times in a few hours of farming. The other drops much less commonly from content that is both harder and more scarce. New 30%+ haste items hitting the market may bring price down, but I see CoF always hovering 65-75k and staying well above the price point for Fungi.

In a vacuum, Fungi is undeniably more powerful than CoF, but there’s a ton of them out there and they are frankly farmable in ways that CoF is not.

You disagree, just like the lot would disagree when i argued Fungi was gonna hit 40k when it was selling 60k

In the end, im there to confirm : 'what did i say?'

Let me rephrase my future scenario:
No its not easy to farm Fungi because all gear is with AAs
What is the nr 1 item you want to have on ALL your melee characters when the server has crashed and its almost impossible to do a transfer?

Just as I suspected

I find vacuum economies like this one fascinating but they always reduce to the same thing: something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

Don't ever buy something if you feel it's overpriced. The sellers and buyers that negotiate make happier deals that lead to more repeat business and a greater interest to sell.
