I'd argue the average P99 Green player
The average green player won't be buying a manastone for many reasons, not the least of which is not enough plat in the bank.

Let's say someone is a bit more hardcore. They play ~3 hours of actual camping, kiting, porting, etc. a day. I wouldn't call this 'hardcore' by P99 standards - probably around average - but by your numbers.

A little over 5 months break even time. Not bad - since the above mentioned person will play beyond 5 months.

Also, when speaking of the price of a manastone in the market it's not based on the average joe, it's based on people actually buying/selling.

If you've seen an order book on an exchange -- see here: https://www.multitrader.io/wp-conten...o-15.26.33.png

There are lots of low offers of buyers and high offers of sellers. Where the real price is (the mid-market rate) where real transactions take place.

All that to say, it doesn't matter if 100 people say manastone is only worth 50-80k (right now) -- plenty of these people on the forums -- and it doesn't matter if 100 people say it's worth 500k (right now.) The real price is where the transaction takes place in the middle. My argument here is not about the real price of The Manastone at this point in time. I am simply showing how to help someone calculate it's worth by comparing the context of camping a manastone vs camping plat/rare items.

As this truth sets in and time ticks on we will see the true value of the manastone reflected in the pricing.
