Option 1: Trade fungi tunic for manastone. Cost=1 fungi tunic + time to do 1 transaction. Benefit = 1 manastone

Option 2: Sell fungi tunic for 240k. Buy manastone for 180k. Cost= 1 fungi tunic + time to do 2 transactions. benefit= 1 manastone + 60k

Thus option 2 is better unless the time of one transaction is greater than 60k for you.

Long term consequences of both trades are the same, the only difference is that with option 2 you have extra platinum than can be invested.


Edit: Stinkum gets it
Correct. All I was stating is long term i would rather have a manastone in my pocket than a fungi tunic. And in another month or so I would guess they will be of equal value before stone passes it up.

I have a feeling a group of people is locking down the fungi tunics and feeding them very slowly into the market to keep prices at a premium.

Sadly that person is not me
