Kraken tentacle dumps 32% on billions in volume

The Name Release is rolling through the alphabet, and the main-game GE had one of the week’s wildest days.

Kraken tentacle sell-off

166.5K gp · ▼ 32.4% in 24h · ▼ 36.1% in 7d · 25,742 traded (4.286B gp) · 13.1× usual volume

More than 25,000 Kraken tentacles changed hands today — thirteen times the usual volume and over four billion gp in total turnover. The price cratered from roughly 246K to 166.5K in 24 hours. That kind of volume doesn’t come from a few impatient sellers; something moved a lot of tentacles onto the market at once.

No recent game update has touched the Kraken, its drop table, or the tentacle whip. The Deep Sea Diving expansion blog proposes new Abyssal Slayer content, but it hasn’t polled yet, let alone shipped. The cause of today’s dump isn’t clear — but the sell pressure was enormous.

Zombie helmet triples

406.5K gp · ▲ 205.3% in 24h · ▲ 185.4% in 7d · 1,257 traded (167.4M gp) · 3.9× usual volume

The day’s biggest percentage mover came from Zemouregal’s Fort. The Zombie helmet — a 50-Strength, 50-Defence crush helm with the best defensive stats in its class below the Inquisitor’s great helm — tripled from around 133K to 407K on nearly four times its normal volume.

No patch note or official post has touched the helmet recently. It sits in a sweet spot for players gearing up for crush-heavy encounters like the Corporeal Beast or The Nightmare without paying Inquisitor prices, and the buy limit of 50 makes it easy for a few determined buyers to move the needle. Whether this holds or fades back depends on whether the demand is lasting.

Horn of Bran still falling

305.9M gp · ▼ 3.2% in 24h · ▼ 45.4% in 7d · 889 traded (272B gp)

The Horn of Bran slipped another 3% to 306M today, down from 560M just a week ago. Sunday’s Quest Month update published The Fractured Archive’s full unique table for the first time: Rondache at 5/15, Zorya’s Tome at 4/15, Horn of Bran at 3/15, Ascension Crossbows at 2/15, and Obligator at 1/15. That transparency has kept sellers in front.

TFA balance changes are still expected soon, covering the Archive Guardian, Xarth, and Ascension shard availability. Until those land, the market is pricing the Horn as the supply it is — a 1-in-5 unique that’s no longer shrouded in mystery.

Civitas teleport climbs with TFA traffic

1,438 gp · ▲ 72.2% in 24h · ▲ 182.1% in 7d · 36,432 traded (30.41M gp)

The Civitas illa Fortis teleport has nearly tripled in a week as The Fractured Archive continues to pull players into Varlamore. Getting to TFA means getting to Civitas first, and steady raiding demand has turned a cheap teleport scroll into one of the week’s standout climbers. The buy-sell spread has blown out to nearly 5× normal, which tells you demand is outpacing supply on the GE right now.

What to watch

The TFA balance tweaks covering encounter difficulty, Ascension shard rates, and the unique multiplier are still on the horizon — any change to how fast uniques enter the game will ripple through the Horn of Bran, Rondache, and Zorya’s Tome. Keep an eye on the Kraken tentacle to see if today’s massive sell-off was a one-day flush or the start of a trend.
