with RP so limited & expensive now, why haven't rank 10 enchants gone up in sale price?

Given that the 99 stacks of R4 and R5 enchants available to purchase have decreased severely and also gone up so much (R5s are 25k today, R4s 6k) - it would seem that the value of higher level enchants, like R10s, should have gone up . . . they'll be so much more expensive to make going forward . . . with RP so expensive they will have to sell for much more AD or be a loss.

But the prices haven't really changed much, from what I am seeing. I am quite surprised at this. Anyone else have thoughts on it? Maybe it is still too soon, and the full impact of the RP availability is yet to be seen? That's the best I can guess.

Because at rank 10 and higher, the real cost killer is the wards at 5.5K AD a pop.
If you're like me, you usually need about 15/20% more wards then the suggested probably rate would recommend.
i.e. 10% rate of success, 1/10 so 10 wards in a perfect world (no pun intended). It never works like that for me ever.
If the success chance is 10%, I'll need 15/20 wards. It really makes me question how random the RNG is, but you always get someone that jumps out of the woodwork in every thread questioning RNG with some story of getting a first attempt success on a artifact or something.
That's my guess anyways.

You're not building them from r5's. Trade bar shop sells rank 7's, and lockbox sub-boxes can give up to rank 9's. So the prices of rank 7's are dependent primarily on the availability of trade bars, and rank 8's and 9's are mostly tied to the drop rates from current lockboxes. Since a lot of people have VIP, and a few rich people open lots of boxes, the prices are lower than you might otherwise expect. You can pretty easily expect to average one rank 7 in trade bars every day from the VIP key, plus the enchantment/runestone boxes are pretty common so you'll get one of those every 2-3 days probably.

Additionally, you don't usually make up to rank 10's by using other enchants/runes for the refinement. You just use thaumaturgic stones.

There's so much free RP from leadership that only cost you the time and effort to log into gateway once per day. The past 1 month I've been playing since a 9 month break, I've made enough RP to bring 3 pieces of artifact equipment to legendary and upgrade my rank 7's to all rank 9's (and are refined ready to upgrade to 10). If I need to, I just buy rank 7 or 8's and refine them, cost much less than buying 9 or 10.

And I'm not even actively in game, I haven't logged in for the past week until today for double RP. I've already started taking another long break but can't turn away for double RP to use the one's I've gathered.
