Why did the price of salvage drop suddenly?

Suddenly to me anyways

I was gone for a few years then I came back and salvage (IE the stuff you get from salvagers, not modules) dropped dramatically. What caused this?

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

depending on how long you were gone:

the noctis, exploration changes or the mobile tractor unit.

all of them had an impact

Exploration changes were the big one, especially for T2 salvage but also for T1.

Seriously?

You leave for a few years in a game that gets a minimum of 2 expansions per year and are surprised that things changed?

And then you figure people here can fill you in on all of the potential changes that might have affected salvage prices?

Brilliant.

Never mind the snobs or the trolls, Antisocial Malkavian (beautiful name, btw Big smile).

Throwaway comments are all they're good for, so their comments ought to be treated as such and tossed away.

Glad to see you're back around.

I really am wasting my breath though, when you can avoid questions from Hexxx and RAW23 like that you must have some seriously devoted investors. --Elizabeth Norn

You could have answered his question with all that text...

Exploration was a big one. Prices crashed hard.,

The name just became sad (due to the cancellation of WoD - then again I saw that happening when they gutted the Atlanta staff after the summer of rage)

Most likely cause was the Odyssey exploration changes. Nullsec relic sites each drop between 30M and 50M or more of T1 and T2 salvage components for about 20 minutes of hacking time.

Hmm. I didn't know nullsec relic sites dropped that. Learn something new every day. Smile

Couple things happened.

The green/red things are the sensor overlay. It can be turned on (permanently) via the top right radial menu icon to the left of your HUD. Click and hold, roll up, unclick.

This came at the same time as teh changes to cosmic signature content for hacking and archaeology site, which are now called Data and Relic sites, respectively. No more rats. T2 salvage prices crashed about 50%, which of course reduces T2 rig prices by about the same amount.

As far as T1 salvage, that totally depends on your local market. But Noctis, Deployable Tractors, Salvage Drones, etc. Armor Plates and Tripped Power Circuits are still the best for T1.

A little late but a piece of advice, if you take a breake and come back always make sure you catch up upon things here: EVE patchnotes

You can take everything on there as given facts.

And as someone pointed out to me when I asked about trit bars dropping 80+%. Trit bars were used in cargo optimization rigs, but with the new ore holds on barges and exhumers, that are not effected by cargo rigs, those really fell out of favor, crushing the demand for trit bars.

Armor plates, tripps, ward consoles and other have fallen, but not the way trit bars have.

Just shows that every small change is a rock thrown into a pond, rippling out, effecting the game in many ways, many unforeseen.
