Check out this EC post, someone is legitimately waiting until Friday 9am to buy the beads for 122k. He is so set about buying them from this guy at the reasonable price of 122k that he's passd up all the terrible, lower priced beads that sold today.

Its entertaining to be sure.

No one is paying him 122k for them. There's been a ton for sale in EC for 30-50k and even those don't sell. If someone has an offer on these for 122k you're the biggest clown on the planet not to take it. Hell, I'd feel guilty posting a lie that obvious on the forums.

I can guarantee if he actually has an offer, someone is screwing with him and he's too stupid to realize it. He's gonna post today that his 122k offer fell through and hes looking to sell it again for 100k.

A common item that is camped 24/7 that can be replaced by a 1.5pp/charge clicky is not something you want to hold onto to gain value when it's still going to drop for 6 months.

I do however thank the community of idiots trying to gouge the price of them for reminding me to pick up some probes. I'd forgotten about those.

It's obviously a troll or someone trying to hike prices by pointing to that post.

EconomyQuest breaking ridiculous new levels of cringe.

Now they are creating multiple accounts to try to inflate prices? LOL....

Hey now! That account is 2 weeks old. Clearly they've had time to gather 95k...

Maybe he's too embarassed to post on his main account that he's dumb enough to spend 95k on it. However I feel that I'd just send a PM at that point. Who's going to take the time to create a separate account just to post a 95k offer on a thread. Definitely forum ban these kids if the posts came from the same source IP. Delete the beads too, they can go back to the end of the 150 person human centipede line of neckbeards.

Kinda seems like the elders are spawning too slow and the beads are not dropping enough anyways.

Quote:

The beads are the rare drop off the Holgresh Elders. It takes most people 5-6 hours of killing elders to get a drop. People do sell them, but very rarely, and for around 1.5 - 2K from what I have seen. Some may be able to get them cheaper if the seller does not know the true potential worth of them to a monk !!.

Then theres this post in the same thread (after they stopped dropping).

Quote:

Well I just tried to get myself a set of Elder beads and boy did it SUCK. I logged in and started the camp at 10am pst on 9/5 and ended at 3:30am pst 9/6. In the 17 and a half hours I was there, I cleared the entire 8 or so spawns in the holgresh cave non stop.

In that time, 3 Grand Viziers spawns, 6 Raiders and 51 Elders. The grand vizier NEVER dropped the Holgresh Grand Vizier beads, while 5 of the elders dropped the vizier beads. Out of the 51 elder spawns, not one elder bead dropped.

This is very very disappointing, as I can only assume that Verant went and f'd up the loot tables, by moving the Vizier beads to the elder table and taking said beads off the Vizier table. I am pretty po'd that I just wasted 17 and a half hours at a camp that Verant could have simply put a message in the patch saying they changed it. I for one do not believe that the elder beads drop anymore from the talks I have had with other monks over the past week when they attempted to get them too. /F-U Verant!

If we assume that the spawn rate didn't change and we assume that the beads were just switched in the drop table. This basically boils down to ~10% spawn rate (one popping every 20 minutes with 8 of them on a 14.5min timer) and a ~10% drop rate (5 dropping out of 51 spawns).

Even at that *low* rate, that's 10% drop, 3 elders per hour, so essentially 1 bead drop per 3.3~ hours. Even if we put this at say, 4 hours to round up, thats still 6 beads per day since its perma camped. That's over 1000 sets of beads by the time they're removed 6 months post Velious.

Kids trying to make it seem like they're rarer than they are to cash in.
