The time spend in average for dropping one of these belts does not even come close to "well spend time" even compared to the new price at 35k(?).

If one look at the lower haste item Runed Bolster Belt (31% haste) at approximately 27k and the higher Cloak of Flames (36 % haste) at 50k+; Spiked Seahorse Hide Belt is still a very good bargain at 35k for a 34 % haste belt and semi ok stats.
I have no skin in the game on this anymore and haven’t camped it in almost a year, but I believe it was stealth nerfed as well. I have spent way way too much time down there and last time I did it I either had the worst RNG ever, or the drop rate just isn’t what it used to be. We are talking like 60-70 hours with no belt over multiple sessions. That was not even close to what it used to be.

Whether or not it was nerfed, the pricing on the belts always ebbed and flowed by about 3-5k depending on how many new enchanters learned the camp. You’d see someone new learn the mechanics and just farm it to death. They get more belts than they know what to do with and start unloading them on the cheap. They eventually burn out and the price comes back up a little bit when it stabilizes.

Was a fun camp but I definitely don’t miss doing it, especially if it was nerfed.
