Fifth lowest buyout prices on AH, about 3pm EST, Today.
Mark of Stability:
Lesser: 1800
Normal: 10995
Greater: 9999
Mark of Union:
Lesser: 13000
Normal: 125000
Greater: 17000
Mark of Power:
Lesser: 30000
Normal: 222222
Greater 24762
Mark of Potency:
Lesser: 1200
Normal: 23000
Greater: 122000
I chose the fifth lowest as a possibly more robust measure of the low end prices, basically trying to avoid summarizing current undercutting prices. Turns out they were fairly flat at the bottom anyway.
It looks to me there's a discrepancy of supply/demand for these. I would have expected there to be variations in demand based on the type of each; whether they're for artifacts or for regular enchantments, and so forth. And I would have expected the prices to increase from lesser to normal to greater. Obviously, that's not the case for three out of four.
Do people have thoughts/ideas on what those might be, how they'll change over the next few days/weeks, or whether there's inherent imbalances among them?

Prices for Potencys are actually higher than at the Wondrous Bazar?
People are really, really stupid and don't read patch notes or quest text.
Minor: 25
Lesser: 500
Normal: 25000
Greater: 100000
Which is a 40% profit on the lessers and a 25% profit on the greaters; both of which would more than pay for auction fees. Those prices likely won't rise much more as opportunists woul move in on those profit margins. Rock bottoms right now on the Greater Marks of Potency are at around 112000 or so. Would be interesting to see if they drop a bit more to undercut the wondrous bazaar.
I suspect there's a spike of immediate demand as people rush to upgrade things that are ready, and that it will settle out a lot over the next week or two.
Rank 6, Rank 8, Normal, and Greater weapon/armor enchantments have already dropped lower than before module 2 because people are figuring out the new system.
It would be most beneficial to withhold from upgrading or refining for any who dont fully understand how refining works or how to cost effectively level an enchantment through refining.
I think the drop rate is pretty spot on, about the same as getting a higher level enchant/rune.
Haven't had a purple yet, but then I enjoy the campaign runs more (protecting Sharandar for my Elven brethren) So haven't seen the drop rate for them, but I figure when and if I need to upg. one of my gems, there'll be plenty on the AH
Where in Sharandar did you find blue marks?
Not sure if sarcasm.
It has to be a sarcasm, couse i do all sharandar all dread ring lots of dungeons and i hvae seen once a mark of potency from a PK boss nothing in nodes, nothing everywhere drop rate is very very bad!!!
Supposedly they do, but reports from people who run lots of dungeons is they're very, very rare so far. Very rare as in, one person ran five dungeons and none at all dropped. It's still early to say that it's not just very bad luck, but imo it's not looking positive. I expect the devs are monitoring it, and might quietly tweak drop rates, but that wouldn't happen immediately. They've a legitimate worry that dropping enough to have some filter to the market right now might overfill it later.
Interesting... Regular chests and not boss chests?

The Greater Mark of Power/Stability/Union, are easy to acquire. You can run the Dread Ring dungeons multiple times during Sat/Sunday for a guaranteed greater mark of those. They have a more limited use (but can be used as experience to refine, I think it gave 3500xp on my blue artifact) cause they tie directly to specific artifact types. To run the mini dungeons multiple times, you just need to buy a key (which costs 1g 10scraps 5kAD).

Don't remember for sure if it was outside, or in the Tower of Celadaine.
Having said that, my luck with dropboxes is farkling atrocious! I've opened prob 300 of the things and apart from a few Mulhorand items, not one mount or companion ever!!! That's with Dark, Nightmare, Feywild and Rusted, I still say all those messages about "xxxx' has gotten a "xxxx" are just spam from Cryptic to make you buy more keys!
Mark of Stability:
Lesser: 2052 (+14%)
Normal: 10115 (-8%)
Greater: 8843 (-12%)
Mark of Union:
Lesser: 9500 (-27%)
Normal: 99999 (-20%)
Greater: 9222 (-46%)
Mark of Power:
Lesser: 20000 (-33%)
Normal: 290172 (+31%)
Greater 10000 (-60%)
Mark of Potency:
Lesser: 709 (-41%)
Normal: 30108 (+31%)
Greater: 117499 (-4%)
Normal marks of power and potency shows an upward trend, which I don't think is surprising. Greater marks of power dropped a lot; likely due to how easy they are to get from the Dread Ring.
also i find it funny how ppl mark up the marks you can get through the bazaar on the ah instead of shelling out 30k+ for the potency ones id rather just go buy them off the bazaar
And I find it really, really stupid. The blue marks are x100500 times harder to get then purple ones.
A well thought out system

Or, alternatively, and with a little humor; maybe they could make a reverse Mark Fusing system where you take four Greater Marks of Power, a Coalescent Ward and Fuse them down into a normal Mark of Power! \o/
What's sad is we could make a profit doing that right now.
From the AH at about 1pm Monday, these are roughly the lowest prices of enchantments at each rank, the refinement value at the rank, and the price in AD per Refinement Point.
Rank 1: 55 5 11.00
Rank 2: 69 15 4.60
Rank 3: 186 45 4.13
Rank 4: 779 135 5.77
Rank 5: 2750 540 5.09
Rank 6: 16896 2160 7.82
Rank 7: 80000 4320 18.52
Rank 8: 350000 12960 27.01
Rank 9: 800000 38880 20.58
The value seems to bottom out at about 4-4.5 AD per RP for the rank 2 & 3's. For rank 1's, the cost seems higher, possibly because people perceive these as not worth the trouble to manage. For rank 6's and up, the price rises, likely because these ranks of enchantments aren't often used as refinement fodder, but have value for their actual use in slots. If one's careful to use like types for refinement, then the cost is halved.
This leads to another way to look at the price of creating higher rank enchantments -- not only the costs of the various Marks and Wards, but also the cost of the accumulated refinement to create them.
