Why are the prices of god gold apples increasing? I understand that they won't be craftable once the 1.9 update hits, but they were nerfed into oblivion. Gapples will be practically useless. The only thing I could see happening is a custom change where the gapples aren't nerfed so events like Mob Arena can keep going. Am I missing a custom change or am I just stupid?
But the Regeneration V was the reason gapples were so useful. Gapples were used to heal from low health and to keep yourself invincible for a short duration of time. Unless you're playing UHC or hardcore PvP, the absorption is negate-able.
The absorption will still be helpful, especially in places like the MA. Also, people are expecting it to become rare in the future, and most likely will sell them for a pretty hefty price.
