LMAO first of all, as someone who has been camping drums of the beast for a month and a half now, has killed 350+ PH's, and have seen TWO FUCKING named mobs, you're wrong about drums. They should be gd 400k.
My second point kind of plays on what you say though. When Green came out, in the post aftermath world of P99 Blue, population was low, and there wasn't a lot of people farming certain pieces of gear. Such as, Singing Steel Helmet, people were looking to buy things such as that for months on end to no avail. And, as you know how supply and demand works, when there is virtually 0 of an item for sale, people will pay more and more.
I mean shit, when I STARTED trying to buy drums of the beast, Aftermath was still alive. I made my bard and tried to buy the drums somewhere around end of summer 2019. The rest of the year I was trying to buy a pair, offering 80, then 100, then 120, and NOT A SINGLE PERSON had them for sale.
Then there are other items, such as Fungi Tunic. Realistically, because of how OP fungi tunic is, it should be 150-200k each. (It's really best in slot for just about everyone who can wear it) The price ebb and flows between 40-60k anymore. Part of the reason for this, is because the GM's keep fucking with the way the camp behaves (for better or for worse). The King Solo pull has changed no less than 7 times since I started camping it years ago. At the moment, The PH paths back over the ledge every time, meaning holding the camp with a duo is harder (much harder) than it was before. Therefore, since tunics aren't being pumped out every 5 hours, the price is rising (rightfully so)
At the end of the day, Items are worth what people will pay. If you caught me at the right time a few weeks ago, I would have paid 1500 per adamantite band. That's 6x the normal price. Yes, there are certain douchers who artificially inflate the price on the wiki (Loramin/Wiki experts, if you know how to fix this, DM me the walkthrough and i'll start adjusting prices when I see someone obviously trying to price fix) But some items have seen a price hike due to Demand and absolutely no supply. Hardly anybody farms brood/ldogs anymore compared to before, as flawless diamonds and whatnot are worth a fraction of what they used to be. Yet everyone has a bard alt now. Hence Lute of the Howler rising in price (again I think rightfully so, if you want people to find camping lower dogs worth it, and want an item available on the market, you have to make it worth their time. It's not a walk in the park to solo lower dogs)
