Is it just me or has granite from adventures all but ended recently?

That was it in 9 runs. got some good steel swords but was greatly disappointed in the less than 50/50 granite :(

I suggest you to do 1000 more IotP. You will see the 50/50 ewl/granite then. It is called probability.

During the event I did/swap/and bought around 90 loot spots on BK. Got granite 21 times, rest was almost even with salt, exo and titanium ore. The loot nerf is not yet on life but it is coming :)

Over the event, I was doing serial identical adventures and did not find that the loot tables have changed, including getting a normal amount of granite. With essentially random tables, it is expected that people will have more or less than the average amount of drops at any point.

As for increasing prices, it is expected that prices will continue to go up, as they typically do with the age of the server. This is discussed elsewhere but it comes down to the gold imbalance issue. Very few things in the game remove gold from the game, and is relatively easy to obtain. Granite, on the other hand, can only be obtained from adventures and treasure searches, and is removed from game with use. The same happens with each resource, and will only get worse when more rare resources will need to be consumed as expected, as seen by the rise in titanium price during the halloween event.

After intensive research, it has been discovered that there is a direct correlation between granite drops in adventures and granite prices in trade.

I use explorers and also play IOTP daily.
this helps me keep granite on hand
