The price will only go up in the weeks/months to come - as the ones that bought them to flip them get rid of them, and they settle onto characters that won't ever sell, like Pyrrhica said.

Manna robes will never stop dropping, but elder beads have... WTT beads for robe! Hit me up!

Seriously though, it will be interesting to see where the price levels off. Appear to be worth at least a fungi now if EC forums trade threads are to be believed.

Just killing a single roamer in WL I think I averaged 1 elder spawn every 10 PH and 1 set of beads every 20 elders. So that's an average of one beads every 200 mobs at a single spawn point. Of course the RNG isn't so nice like that, so you could go 600 spawns before seeing a beads drop or you could see them drop back to back.

Only the cave was camped the hardest and only hard for the first few months, after that it wasn't uncommon to find it open. I don't think there's a glut of beads on this server as people seem to think. There's certainly going to be more demand for them than supply as there's always new monks and necros entering the economy.

I personally wouldn't sell for under 250k at this point. I think the number of beads on the server is grossly overestimated by many. I know numerous people that spent 40-60+ hours just to get one to drop. p99 has a MASSIVE monk population that is always growing and will really spike once the patch for triple attack goes in.

Those letting them go for the cheap price of ~ 175k are really going to kick themselves.

On the other hand, there's people in my guild who farmed ~10 of them.

There's got to be at least a few hundred of them.

((Few hundred beads) - (Any beads on characters that get banned or quit)) / ((Few thousand monks and necros) * (No more dropping) * (Hundreds of new monks and necros made every month)) = Profit

They've been farmed dry for 6 months which never happened on live. There's probably over 500 on the server. Not to mention these things have a cast time and a good old stalking eye is better if you're pullimg in a competitive raid.
