Would anyone mind to bring me up to speed on the economy?

If you're bored or don't have anything important to do, I'd appreciate it if someone would get me caught up on what's been going on the past 3-5 months. I've been pretty much internet-less and now I'm trying to get caught back up so I can start exchanging again, without fear of losing gold because I don't know what's going on anymore. sweatdrop


Thanks!

I don't know if this will be any help but for the meanwhile I would suggest that you visit the exchange, just lurk around and just do periodic price checks. I'm guessing that you're hoping for a price guide of sorts but that might not be useful as there are some factors of market inflation at play.

I've been pretty active lately and I'm still going by the vend and random exchange samplings to determine my selling/buying prices.

The last 3-5 months basically resulted in the release of Gaia Towns and a small depression along with that. The Halloween event also resulted in taking gold of the economy adding to the depression. Generally that's the trend so far, but there are some items that are artificially inflated so other forces are at play.

So again, sample the exchange and perhaps double check on the vend. 3nodding

Best of luck man and more importantly, welcome back. blaugh xd

Thanks. XD


You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I'm not really looking for a price on all the items, I was mainly wondering about anything that's been hot lately, maybe items going down and whatnot. I've been stalking the exchange since I got back. ^_^

I mentioned to someone yesterday that I thought the Wallet was stagnant since it was around the price I remember it while everything had went up, but they told me the Wallet actually went down to around 100k and is just now going back up. The Emo Bags seem to have died though. sweatdrop




EDIT: *pokes your tail* Congrats! That's new since the last time I was around.

Thanks, the DT probably wouldn't be here without Kagen's help. He was the one to take me up on my offer. smile Hehe...

I'm glad I was able to help. The EMO bags do seem to have died, perhaps it's time to hoard? confused

Usually when they're low, they have nowhere to go but up. I was just considering turning some of my extra items into a couple of them. I won't go as far as trading my scarf away for a few but still seems like a fairly good idea to me. Nine times out of ten if one item in a donation letter rises it pulls the other item with it.

Well a big chunk of vending is skill, the others include chance and luck. The bigger the risk the bigger the reward. Hehehe... smile

Well since I got my scarf, gold has been short and the little gold I do have has been going to the casino(Me wants the red black joker hat!) I've been dealing on the lower ends of items, and I can't say it's pretty. Most things are pretty stagnent, and there arn't many deals around. In fact, I work hard just to get a few hundred g. From what I've been watching the more expencive items are doing much better, so I'd say stay in the 04 donation items and such.
