Economy

[FlyingDragon]

Getting used to the economy is hard especially with all the price drops and increases. Rate From 1-5 how the economy is doing in terms of reasonable prices, stock and demand, and etc. =D have fun

I'd give it about a 2/5. The only real profittable to make money nowadays to is upgrade something to +5 then sell it.

I get money cuz my store.
i make HP and elrues.
and sell them..
and if i get items in kq i also sell it :P
and now i got 18 silver with all clothes , spells for my levle.

The economy is fine to me. I make more money selling stuffs I produce than selling the raw materials to NPCs.

There are Good and Bad ratings for the current economy. For example the con and pros of ratings that i see in Teva for example include the following:

(5) on the price on produced goods. Cheap to make and sell

(4) for weapons market. Cheaper than the initial stages of OB.

(1) for rares. Pets prices are ridiculous in the past week or so (30s +). King items are either sold-out or put up in groups for sale at very high prices. Rare economy is somewhat unstable and weird since the last week. I think maybe farmers are behind this.

thats my two cent.

This economy, vs other games, is actually QUITE nice right now. I imagine when the ranks of 50+ are fuller, we'll see inflation take it's toll.

Coming to this game from a dying game, I find that it's rather refreshing that prices for items are scaled for the most part properly and that there isn't the typical flood of game gold (farmers).

I would like to attribute the current stability to both the admin staff and the community, but the awful truth of it is that there hasn't been enough time for the real trashy players to get settled in yet.

Give it time and rares will be pulling for 100+S as a rule. Until then, I shall stockpile all greens so that I may reap the benefits of inflation later on. We're all quite lucky to be involved at this stage of the game. Given it's current trajectory, I think we'll see many more positive influences.

Don't let me down Outspark - I've been burnt too many times as it is (K2 Networks for example).

Economy seems maybe just a little too deflated right now to me. Since I have enough to get weaps/armor/spells as I level, but it's hard saving up for green items/stock piling mini pets w/o farming like crazy. =P

well i make most my money (75%) off selling drops to the npc and i have a good ole 245s. on average i bring in 20-30s per farm so money isnt really a prob with me. i only sale when my storage is full and i always sale at a super cheap price lol. as for the economy tho i find that not enough rare drops actually exsist for that market to be a profitable one and as for pets....i beg u all to stop exploiting yourselves and paying 30s for +1 to all stats...It doesnt make a difference and it doesnt make u cooler, you're only showing stupidity in my opinion.
i mean ppl buy rings for 30s ftw O.o u can get a +11str ring for 2s but yet and still u pay an extra 28s jus to have 8 end on it...seriously folks stop doing this. tho i am guilty of purchasing one of these rings i only did it out of boredom...at the time i had 400s and having money with nothing to buy is EXTREMELY bothersome =/
so i give this pole a 1 ^.- b

Gold Farmer are goin to change Prices allways!
The Problem is rares are goin up as do Pets n more... and it will still do till the market is feeded (how long may it take till everyone has realy Good +9 rares :P?) or it may even never stop.

Just think about it, there more then 10 ppl each Day buying 100s+ so more then 1g each Day by Gold Farmer... but how many rares actualy Drop? If u just see the Mara Quest there 8*15 ppl trying to get a Item and this is 12 times a day a total of 1440 chances.
Now how many Greens tend to drop into those 1440 Chances?
Id guess between 25 and 50 (less for later KQ/lvl).... so... since there also private Persons farming for Money and the Money in the Market gets more n more it soon may finish the Economy.

Atlast this is about how many Games did end.


World of Warcraft has Farmer aswell but even tho they Sell Gold u just cant buy the best Gear... it is Soulbound and u need a good Team to get the Items.
It's a way to stop farmer of destroying the Game completly.


At the moment it isnt too bad.
