yup just checked again on my server and now 25 to 30g each 3x the figure two days ago.
i went from 250 for sapphire leg enchants to 400g over the weekend. on Horde Hyjal, the orbs went from 6g to 45-50g
I sold out all of my cloth (Spellweave, Ebonweave, Moonshroud) on Friday. On Saturday I noticed others doing the same and a couple of guys were in trade buying all of the Frozen Orbs that could be had :/
I really don't see what all the fuss is about, given that they upped the lotus drop rate 50 % that would be the only thing worth selling. Lol I never bothered to vendor my orbs and as of right now I'm sitting on just over 1100 lol, prices keep goin up on my server, if/when they get to 40 per I think i'll unload lololol my pallys might get epic flying yet!
I just noticed Blizz has announced Patch 3.3.5 with a new Raid that is gonna drop frost badges, that should drive Primordial Saronite prices down once people start to stockpile frost badges.
I was working late the night the announcement went out, so I lucked out. Soon as I saw the info I logged in and bought out the Orb market. I'm up to 1600 Orbs all bought at 5g each or gotten from randoms. The next day Orbs were up to 20g each, I have a feeling it's going to go up to about 30g roughly by the time the patch is out. Lotus is going to go down to about 30 because of the new vendor and the 50% droprate increase being added to Herbalism.
My advice, if you can find Orbs cheap, buy them. Throw them on an alt / guild bank
Ive got a couple of hundred lying around. I was saving them up for when the next expando pack comes out to get some quick skillups in my tradeskills.
