Death Knight skin weirdness: For Parts you need Kindling, Magn. Glass and Coal...

Yesterday I had enough kindling and Magn Glass for the LEGS, but I needed 800 coal more... the price was 50 gems at that time.
So instead of paying the 50 gems, i waited to get Coal full so that the gem price would drop (usual way the gem price changes)
Today i reached the Coal amount to get that bar full, but price is still 50 gems.

So this time what you collect is not linked to the gem prices you need for buys?

So even though my TORSO and HEAD parts does not have full bars, the prices of 75 and 100 gems respectively will not change?

Maybe its a bug; they tried to tie the price to 3 things, but they really only tied it to two (kindling and glasses). So maybe your amount of coal really doesnt matter at all due to the bug, and the minimum cost was always going to be 50/75/100 gems. Its just guesswork, but it seems to match your facts....

I'm pretty sure it's a bug, this is showing like this for me too. I have a feeling this outfit wasn't supposed to be available until next week. I also have a feeling we weren't supposed to be able to continue grinding these parts after the missions were over, and that's what the point of the outfits was. Just my guesses.

Mine is currently at 50 / 75 / 236

So you guys mean this outfit lower price will be 225 gems?

Well, to me this bug cancels out the other bug of the suits not doubling for materials. At least if I don't have to grind out coal to get the minimum price death knight I will probably buy it. I do like the knight costumes.

I cannot confirm this, but maybe all 3 values do count, even the coal, but only up until they reach the minimum price of 50/75/100 ? Anyway, its good to know that it won't drop more, as I don't have to wait with buying the shoes and torso

I think I have an explanation. I do believe they all do count and that the minimum prices are 50/75/100. Maybe the algorythm counts each item out of the whole required, and not the percentage of completion of each different item category. For example, if there is a requirement of 20,000 sticks and only 8,000 coal, and you have 80% of each the sticks would count for more. This would explain why earning more coal while having the other categories maxed not change the price, it is negligibal to the amount of sticks.
I suggest prioratizing sticks first.

Yes, what @harancoh says seems plausible. Once you have collected so much stuff that the rounded value of the computed cost ist the minimum cost, collecting more won't make a difference.

For me it is 50/75/156 after having 20037 sticks 1524 magnifying glasses and 3398 coal lumps.I do hope it's a glitch and they are going to fix it(the coal lumps not counting).IMO a 25/50/100 gem cost would be fine for having completed all the requirements.Otherwise it's just too expensive.
