There seems to be a current issue with the supply and price of Garcen Grease / Lubricant. This is used in crafting many smaller items that go into larger items, not least of which is the Daily 1 manufacturing Challenge for Level 1 Finder Amplifier Lights. I had this earlier in the week and having none in stock I went to the auction only to discover the MU was around 200%. Bearing in mind that nearly all materials have steadily dropped in price over the last year or so, i thought this a bit strange. Never mind I thought, I grabbed a couple of amps and went off to mine some myself in locations that I have previously found it. I did this over a couple of days and at different times. Burning through a couple of level 4 finder amps I found nothing in these areas except oil and melchi. I know people will respond that you have to find the waves which I am aware of (as it works the same for other mats) but my soc mates have also reported the same problem.
Obviously there is a current drought of Garcen and I am not paying 200% just to do a daily mission. My other concern is that it is a major ingredient in lots of other BP's including if I remember correctly the Armatrix weapons. So is this a deliberate change on MA's part, if so why, as it only hurts the economy as players can't craft the items they want or is this a bug. One soc member reported finding some on Ark but again not that much.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on. I did consider someone trying to manipulate the marked and maybe hoarding large quantities of the stuff, but it is. relatively common enmatter I cant believe someone has hoarded enough to effect the drop rate and MU that much
