Occurences after Factions

I have found that everyone is in dire need of cloth, steel ingots, and monstrous claws. prices of iron, tanned hide, and cloth were all raised. anyone explain to me why? bolths of cloth are sold out at traders and same with steel ingots. post you ideas here.

Tanned Hides sold out too. Clothes are back in short short supply.

Isn't the answer obvious and right in front of your face?

Like a billion new sets of armor just came out, including sets for 2 new classes which EVERYONE and their mom are playing.

Whats the obvious side effect? EVERYONE and their mom wants those crafting materials for the armors. So the trader sells out.

Same reason you cannot find a ritualist or assassin rune at that trrader right now.

so these new armours require leather squares, steel ingots etc etc?

Why wouldn't they?

I dont get your train of thought on this one...

Every armor in the game has a "base" materal requirement of some kind of cloth, some kind of paper, some kind of hide, or some kind of ingot. (The quality usually depending on the quality of the armor).

That hasnt changed.

Heavy armor like warriors still need ingots, light armor of the casters usually use Cloth, Tats use paper, and normal med-grade armor like rangers use hides.

cloth, iron, steel I get. Then why do people (according to original poster) looking for monstrous claws?

As an aside.....with my newbie Rit in Monastery, I got a monstrous claw out of one of those bug guys that give you pincers. Was rather shocked.

either they found an armor that uses monstrous claws
or
they are hoping there is one and they are buying them to sell them at a higher price later

Rt armor uses Monstrous Claws. Lots of factions armors use odd materials not needed as much in Tyria.
