What's with the sudden increase in the price of T3 scrolls? I used to be able to get them for like 7-9s. Now, they they are like 10-15s.
What's up with that?

I'm getting ready to start selling t3 scrolls, and I don't know how you could make much profit selling t3 for 7-9s per... The mats alone would cover most of the profit.

Ok example....
T3 sbl (which is what most of us buy and then decomp) costs 2s per on average
Dogtooth also costs 2s per on average.
Say i make you some shield. That requires 2 dogtooth and 1 sbl (t3 which makes 3 t2 sbl once decomped) so right there thats 3s, with that ill need leather...add another 1.2s, and mushroom add another 500c.
Sooo thats almost 5s per scroll. AND thats not even the most expensive scroll I make.
I am a 8x cleric. I can't do KKP for mats, and I can't grind for greens. I sell at cost practically to guildies and friends, i use t4 scrolls (which cost even more) and t4 pots. All of this adds, i have NO other way to make money reliably.
I'm sorry you find those scrolls expensive BUT we need to make money too so we can level and grind and guild war and all the other fun things there is to do in this game.
You however could, go without scrolls, go with t1 scrolls, or level your own scrolls and make them for cost.
So I hope that puts it in perspective for you. As long as people will buy my scrolls at 11 or 12s per im gonna sell them at that. If they will buy them at 14s per I will sell them at that.
Don't like my prices, don't buy my scrolls and level your own production.
Sorry but im just really getting tired of so many people expecting things from me (buffs, heals etc) and then being bitter when I ask for something back (like that you buy my scrolls at the price i offer).

Uhh...I'm sure people were having problems like that when the T3 scrolls were 7-9s, so your argument is not very valid. Sorry, I on't see any justification in the rise of prices, except for people just doing it because they want to.

You aren't reading what i wrote.
When the 'buff' scrolls were 5 to 7s prices of mats were about half what they cost for us now (less actually i was buying t3 sbl at 500s for a long time).
My point is...material price increase? Scroll price increase.
If you really want an indepth explanation when we were all selling our scrolls for 5 to 7s the cap was still 79. Many people were capped. They had nothing else to do but play KKP over and over again. This flooded the market with scroll materials, thus making the price for them low. Now that cap has been raised and we have leveled beyond KKP and have been occupied with leveling in Burning Rock where hardly anything drops, there hasn't been the supply of scroll materials there once was. This elevated the price of scroll materials, thus elevating the price of scrolls.
Its quite a valid arguement, perhaps i didn't explain myself well enough in my 1st post.

u must count the time and effort for gathering/buying the material also, it really takes a lot of time to vendor/buy.
even i have my mage gather materials from Spider KQ, still rare reward and hard to get and time consuming.
for me i try to sell cheap and fast at 10s ^^, but very few amounts and it is fast selling
