Who's doing the gatekeeping I wonder? Us? Or blizzard making them (and leaving them) ladder-only?KOKUSHO0735 wrote: 17 hours agoTheir expensive cause their gate kept, I’ll just figure out a way for create a thread in ladder asking for those in ladder and play ladder only to make some midrunewords in some generic bases for those at my level. Seems that be specific enough to Ward off this sort of attention. The only ladder only low roll runewords worth selling at a significant profit are perfect base close to or perfect roll.Knappogue wrote: 17 hours agoYou're not going to have much luck with people wanting to help you around here with that attitude.KOKUSHO0735 wrote: 17 hours ago
I fail to see how any of this is relevant, accusations aside nobody has offered any decent advice or a lead itself. And I don’t see how me asking here is any different than research. I want a Cure which takes a few mid runes to make. I get perfect ethereal perfect roll can go for a pretty penny. But I want the one somebody made in a 3soc Shako within the last 5 seasons or whatever.
Three people now commenting on searching trade markets and have trade links to “Cure” for 5 Jah which takes less then an Ist I believe,
Ladder only is expensive and hard to find on Non-ladder, specifically because you can't make them on NL.
Good luck man, you're going to need it.
The fact they are expensive in non-ladder is precisely because you cannot make them there. People have to join ladder season, level up char, find the bases and runes, make the runewords, then wait until ladder is over.
Guess what, that time and effort is a premium you and everybody else has to pay for them in non-ladder.
Not to mention that those runewords, at least the ones you mentioned (maybe not Metamorphosis), are highly desirable. So demand is greater than supply. That's a second premium you pay.
As an example, I bought a Cure Helm for a Lo on this site a few weeks ago. There were still a few non-ladder trades up then, looks like it's all sold out right now.
Lastly there's the roll of the runewords itself. Like @leox explained for Cure, you pay for the defense. More defense = higher price.
For Mosaic, you pay extra for good bases with +skills and for the runeword roll overall.
For Metamorphosis you pay extra for good bases with +skills and because fewer people play druid and apparently most people don't seem to think it's worth farming in ladder to flip in non-ladder.
Also don't forget the non-ladder trades for these dry up over time. Once current ladder season ends, you'll see influx of new trades on non-ladder.
That's just how the market is right now, for you, for all of us.
