Quote:Well some of those materials have radically different limiting factors. Although I can't really explain the gem prices with this. Cloth and leather are based on how many humanoids/animals you can kill per unit time. Node based materials require tracking down all the nodes.
So, it would make sense that cloth is relatively cheap (except for the harder to find wool). Any class with a good AoE can just annihilate large areas of low level humanoids... the same goes for animals. So, farming these should be much easier, and as a result should be much cheaper.
I'm not surprised that it's fairly cheap - I mean, the 'regular' price for it seems to be ~40s/stack. Much less then 80s-100s/stack on Ner'Zhul, but still understandable. What I didn't get, OTOH, was why there were several auctions with a buyout of 5s.
