Why is fungi still 100k?

Just because the camp isn't solo-able or duo-able doesn't justify the price spike. Crypt camp has just as desirable drops (hiero cloak), and that price has dropped. Fungi is a twink item, monk item or shaman item. It isn't quite even end game item like a hiero.

Generally speaking speculators smooth out prices. Those people were buying/hoarding fungis prepatch (and thus preventing the price from hitting 50k) and selling them now at 85k (and thus preventing the price from hitting 100k). I have been experimenting with some king pull methods recently and the king has been open most of the time - if I had to guess, I'd say we're getting 1/4 as many fungi tunics / hour out of the king as before. Now maybe a lot of that is the lag attacks, but still. I'm quite sure the price would be much higher if we had no idea an invis pulling nerf was coming.
