One part your missing though is the definition of rare. For example many mage spell components aren’t ultra rare but they are also not easy to get by any means. As the server progresses those components are also harder to find for sale from players as many people think most people who would need them have already leveled past the point where they would and most players also won’t spend the time creating and auctioning a lower level spell because the prices just progressively get cheaper and cheaper as more plat comes into the economy.
So you have a pretty decent lack of supply from player auctions while also having to find some pretty annoying components

Right. Same thing does actually happen with melee equipment: Low/mid level equipment is, for the most part, starting to get kind of hard to find on P1999 if a player wants some
specific piece. Thing is, with melee equipment there are a bunch of options so a player who doesn't find exactly what he wants can still find something else that does the job about as well. Not so with spells. There aren't a lot of dropped spells (or researched spells) for any given class, and nearly all dropped spells are class-specific, meaning a caster either finds a specific spell that probably isn't worth someone's time to bother trying to sell or he goes without because there aren't options for spells the same way there are for pieces of melee equipment. Some Warrior wants a Silvery War Axe, can't find one for sale, so he buys a Langseax instead and he doesn't care because it's pretty much the same thing. Some Enchanter can't find a Salil's Writ 174, tough beans, no Gravity Flux for him, because there aren't any options.
Add in the complete lack of spellcaster scaling in this game and I think we can agree that for all this game's strengths, in some respects its also very much showing its age.
