Weekly Punch Imbuement Market Report (May 11‑17 2026)
The Punch imbuement is a staple for melee hunters looking to boost their damage. This week’s data from 90 worlds shows a mixed landscape: a handful of worlds present solid buying opportunities, while others are already seeing price pressure that may turn into a sell‑off. Below you’ll find a concise market overview, the best worlds to buy or sell, creature drop locations for each material, and a clear investment recommendation.
Market Overview
- Overall score: 4.1 / 10 (average across all worlds).
- Most worlds are stable or showing only modest movement, but a few are volatile or falling, indicating short‑term opportunities.
- Demand is being driven by the ongoing Demon’s Lullaby and the upcoming Full Moon weekend (May 12‑14), which boost monster kill rates and loot volume.
- Gold‑Brocaded Cloth and
Mantassin Tail tend to dictate price swings, while
Tarantula Egg is generally stable but can spike during Full Moon events.
Top Worlds to Buy / Sell
| Rank | World | Score | Trend | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lobera | 5 | Stable | Buy Gold‑Brocaded Cloth (price low‑ish) & Mantassin Tail; hold Tarantula Egg. |
| 2 | Bravoria | 5 | Stable | Buy Gold‑Brocaded Cloth; watch Mantassin Tail for spikes. |
| 3 | Astera | 5 | Stable | Buy Gold‑Brocaded Cloth (price dropping); moderate Mantassin Tail. |

Where to Farm the Materials
Gold‑Brocaded Cloth
Drop sources: Ahau, Iks Ahpututu, Iks Aucar, Iks Chuka, Iks Pututu. These are the hidden Iks creatures found in the Lost City of the Iks islands (e.g., Iks Lair on Darashia). The best spot is the Iks Central Cave near the Iks Agga teleport; it has a high spawn rate and low competition.
Mantassin Tail
Drop sources: Quara Mantassin, Quara Mantassin Scout, Renegade Quara Mantassin. Hunt them in the Quara Deepsea (Northwest of Carlin) or the Quara Swamp near the Pits of Inferno. The Quara Mantassin Scout camp at the edge of the swamp yields a steady stream of tails.
Tarantula Egg
Drop source: Tarantula. Farm the Tarantula Cave in the north‑west of Darashia’s desert (near the Kharghor camp). The cave’s multiple spawn points make it ideal for quick egg runs, especially during Full Moon when tarantulas are more abundant.
Creature Hunting Activity This Week
- Iks hunts remain active on most worlds, keeping Gold‑Brocaded Cloth supply relatively stable. Expect a slight upward drift on worlds where the Iks population is higher (e.g., Lobera).
- Quara Mantassin spawns have been a bit erratic, causing price spikes on worlds like Kalanta and Kalibra. Focus your hunts in Quara‑rich zones to capitalize on the higher tail prices.
- Tarantula activity spikes during Full Moon weekends, leading to short‑term price jumps on worlds such as Xybra and Quintera. If you can farm eggs now, you’ll be in a good position to sell at the peak.
Investment Recommendation
Overall, the market favors a hold‑and‑buy‑low‑sell‑high approach. Secure materials on worlds with a score of 5 and stable or falling trends (Lobera, Bravoria, Astera). These worlds offer the best price‑to‑value ratio, especially for Gold‑Brocaded Cloth, which is currently the cheapest on Lobera (≈ 1 600 gp) and Astera (≈ 930 gp). Mantassin Tail is pricier but still offers upside on worlds like Kalanda (↑ price) and Kalibra (↑ price).
Buy now on Lobera, Bravoria, and Astera, then hold through the Full Moon weekend. Expect a modest price rise for Tarantula Egg on most worlds; you can flip a quick profit by buying eggs on worlds where they are cheap (e.g., Ignibra at 229 gp) and selling during the Full Moon spike.
Bottom line: Stock up on Gold‑Brocaded Cloth and Mantassin Tail on the top‑scoring worlds, keep an eye on Tarantula Egg for short‑term flips, and avoid buying new Punch imbuements on the volatile or falling worlds until after the Full Moon.
