Then this cost will have to be divided by the 12 (a minimum?) it takes to kill UDB-Trak and the ROI will be terrible.

when the price of one good (trak guts) goes down the demand for a related/complimentary good (white scale) goes up. when the demand for a good goes up (white scale) the price of the good goes up.

i.e. white scales are going up in price.

how much they go up is still in question. it hasn't been enough time to see where the new market price will settle at. considering that the bottleneck for the bard epic now is mostly the cost of the whitescale the value of the scale is extremely high compared to the old market price. My guess is about 90-120k after the first few weeks of real opportunism....slowly decreasing over time.

also, although not as dramatic, price of red scale should also be going up a bit for a short while.
