why are sup absortions 10k now?

Before the update, I played the game.. like 4 months
NO Superior Absorption.

After the update, in 1 week I got 2 Superior Absorption runes..
Sold the first one for 25k, second I got yesterday.. Only worth 10k, gues my own Warrior get's it

Nope, not really... its been dropping for months, and the huge crash in prices occurred since the update. :/

Exactly.

If I'm not mistaken, Superior Absorption used to be 100k..

Yeah, it was 100k a few months ago, but then dropped to 80k, and sat on that for a long while. Since Factions, it has been steadily dropping, but dropped HEAPS since that update. I don't mind, means I can buy one

I'm sure the Rune farming run had alot to do with it. With Golds salvaging to golds now. I'm a big run farmer. My main income till I get off my but and gat my runner going.

Woot 10k

Off-topic, if you add a Warrior Rune of Superior Absorption to 1 armor piece.. will the -3 damage only apply when you take a hit on that piece?
Or.. always?

I've seen Mursaat attacking, 9 damage each second..
Sometimes, 7 damage each second.. cause of my -2 absorp on my Pants right?

Cause I have only 1 empty piece to put it on..

The absorption from the rune applies to all the armor pieces. You need only 1 to get full benefits from it.

Then why have Knights/Ascalon armor Absorption at ALL pieces then?
However, I only sometimes get -2 Absorption so it works only for my pants.

They did mention that the rate of drops for superior absorbtion and vigor was going to increase. More runes equal lower prices. I had four superior absorbtions drop in two days.

Knights/Ascalon damage reduction is universal. Lots of threads on that topic.

I have 3 Superior Absorbs and 1 Superior Vigor. Feel free to whisper Melian Tintalle if you want to purchase some. I'll be on later tonight.

Cause everyone went sin or rit, and not many people made warriors and the rune dropped more so the rune price went down.

Unid Superior Vigor ?
I want.

i agree with fiery here gwp was out for a year and loads of people had warriors so the rune went up. but now factions is out people are moving on either have warrior already or just dont want one. but hey means we dont have to spend 100k anymore

People who are complaining about investing in superior absorbtions are simply suffering the fault of their own bad judgement. Superior absorbtion and Superior vigor have been falling at about the same rate ~ 1-2k every week before factions. When factions comes out, how many warriors are going to be created? Not many, maybe enough to keep the price the same. But how many people are going to need vigors? Everyone. Thats why even with the increased drop rate, price went up 15k when factions came out. I made a good 200k buying superior vigors low a week before factions and selling them when the price came back peaked 3 days after factions came out. In a few weeks I'm predicting vigor to be around 15k after everyone gets there armor. I did have a guildie who lost 200k investing in superior absorbtion so I know you pain but you can't be mad at anet for your own investment decisions.

Every whammo out there has created an assassin.

You'll see fewer and fewer warriors created over the next month, so you can expect the price to stay pretty low.

There has been a lot of discussion on this topic, and the fact is:
- 1 absorption rune works for ALL the armor pieces (think about it, if u had to put it on all the pieces, apart from having to spend 500k a few months ago, you would have not any room for vigor and weapon mastery which is a nonsense)
- 1 piece of knights armor gives you the absorption to the full armor; my war has a full gladiator set but the boots are knights.
The fact that sometimes you get different dmg has other causes, for example the mobs not always doing the same dmg to you...
It's not my opinion but something that a lot of more experienced players have tried and tried and tried until they all got to the same conclusion.

Except the good old 55 monk... X D

Before Factions came out, there were several posts about ways to convert gold into items to prepare for the new chapter. A lot of people talked about investing in ecto, black dyes and - yes - superior absorbs. I wonder if some of these people dumped the superior absorbs on the market - as they saw prices drop - and if that accelerated the price drop even more.

No, I identified it for myself.
