Ok , where did the vigor's go at the rune trader. I am not complaining to bad cause I was abe to buy them second hand for less from someones treasure run. Just found them and a few other runes missing at the trader.

Anyone know why. I mean the extra 50 health is a must for a warrior.

Could be a bug or maybe the rune trader was just sold out if loads of people bought quickly. It happens to the new classes runes when a new campaign comes out so it can happen, just takes a bunch of people who want it.

I hear what you are saying, I have seen that with rune of Verti and such, but
never all 3 vigor's missing for days. It's like they are gone from the trader's choices.


Is someone in game now, try and buy any of the vigors.

Its either a bug or its sold out, most probably the latter.

I purchased a major vigor last night from the trader so I'm guessing they are just sold out again. With all the heroes out there now, most people keep their vigors rather than selling them to the trader.

Ah, that's why a lot of rit runes are sold out... I was wondering why minor restoration had suddenly become extremely popular.

In terms of market economics, the only possible explanation (assuming constant supply) is rising demand. The Razah rush is a plausible cause for the shortage, much the same way insignias and runes were priced high or absent from traders immediately following Nightfall release.

That said, I have my suspicions about assuming the supply isn't changing on its own. I am yet to get a single Vigor rune of any sort from a Nightfall armor, even a Minor one. My guess is that ANet has purposely coded the Vigor runes not to drop in Nightfall, and replaced them with the new condition-duration runes and Vitality/Attunement ones which do not drop outside of Nightfall. Combined with the fact that less people have stayed in Prophecies and Factions due to Nightfall's release, and the fact that fewer people have been farming runes ever since the drop frequency adjustment a while back, I can speculate that the supply, too, has dried up, and could not keep up with raised demand in its weakened state.

I've gotten several, including a Superior Vigor off a Margonite.

It doesn't make sense that they'd remove Vigors (one of the most important runes) from an entire chapter and force NF-only players to buy them from players or the trader.

Supply and Demand I guess. I personally keep around 50 sup vigors spare lying around and see no reason to sell them. Everyone could use a sup vigor per char and per hench so I guess their just bought out

I noticed that with the Priests of Balthazar only the minor profession runes are available for unlocking. The major and superior runes don't show up. Or is it just me?

The priests only show the lowest level of each rune type available for unlocking. It forces you to unlock in sequence if you're only doing it by spending balthazar faction - minor for 1000 faction, followed by a major for 1500 faction, then the superior for 2000 faction.

It's because you don't use question marks when asking a question, and don't know where apostrophes go.

Not true. I've gotten plenty of those in Tyria and Cantha as well.
