why is it all of a sudden the hero armor piece "ancient armor remnant" cost so much, is there some sort of significant to it beside getting your hero elite armor?

What are you talking about? There prices are not that high, there like 4-10k, thats not that high. If you see them higher then that then you should pass.

Well, it's definitely annoying as heck to wait for that item to drop.

However, I'd just get them myself. More worth the time than the money.

i've seen ppl trying to sell them at 40k+ for the pass few days in kamadan and i've also seen ppl trying to buy for 60k+, could be a co-op scam could be not, but it was odd to see them at that price.

yup - it's a duo scam. One guy sells for 40k, while other guy from the same guild buys for 60k.

TBH even 4 or 8k is too much for them.

Just try yourself, you get easily 4 per run, and you do not need more than 5 per char anyways.

People were trying to scam last night. Someone was dumb enough to pay 40k for 1 so he could try to sell at a 20k profit, but instead blew his savings on it, lol. Then that dumb person tried to resell for 60k to get his money back and make 20k. Too bad he couldn't sell it to another idiot that was dumb enough to fall for this scam.

Regular prices for these are 2-8k. Don't be a retard and buy for more.

I've never bought one for more than 4k. Are people really that desperate for hero armor just to show off in a HoM?

READ this thread. It was a scam where the scammers used a newb/n00b's greed to trick them into buying for 40k+, in hopes of reselling for 60k. Anyone with half a brain would know about these type of age-old scams.

If I remember correctly once you got 4 the chance of getting another one is smaller (that is per character).
So if you do an average run ~150points you should get around 6 armor for the first time and maybe 2 for each other run.

A few month ago the price used to varied between 5-25k (yes someone once wanted to buy one from me for 25k ). The reason for these price is that most people find this challenge hard to do.
A few days ago they were only worth 4-6k, and I don't think their prices will change suddenly like that to reach 40-60k

Pay for those?

You can get 6 in a single Junundu Run just by killing maddened spirits!
They are worth almost nothing!

OH, it's easy.

You just run near a big bug, killing small nearby bugs. Whne you see the red dot of the spirit comming, you kill the big bug, then the Maddened spirit, fest in his corpse, heal yourself and look for the nearest fat bug, and make th same again.

I'm not usually killed until 3..4 spirits come at the same time.
