Velious's impact on economy

[DevGrousis]

so, what you're saying is that the 60k price of an item like Fungi may be worth 80k-100k come August when SoV drops?

Just an opinion, it largely depends on the sellers pushing up prices a bit, the amount of plat re-entering circulation, and to some extent... the price that gets set for some Velious items. If a lodi shield is worth X, then surely a fungi which is equally nice (if overfarmed) still has to hold some relative value to that and other similar items.

Wind back to 2011, the first Jade Chokidai Prod to be sold was auctioning for 20k (key part to Howling Stones). There was a long queue for that camp, because everyone wanted to get into HS to extract the new loot and make big money.

A good example for Kunark was a FBSS, 4k going back to early 2011 if my memory is correct....a steady 7-8k during Kunark. Obviously that'll fall away now, more and Dragonborn sashes have been farmed anyway but Velious has some nice upgrades again.

Some things like a Manastone I think may actually go up. Mana is king on Casters, Healers. So a Druid, Wizard, can port themselves or others back to "classic" zones and be FM in a heartbeat. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Win win for them and others.

Haste is a Big deal and I know the Handwraps will put a hurt on FBSS, but it still is haste like it or not. So it will be sellable. Fungi, CoF will still be King, so no drop price wise in them. I see them raising also. Whole new world when Velious comes out, but good gear is good gear no mater what. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Low-end items that are upgraded with "common" items in Velious will drop in price by a lot. Example of this is Diamondine Earring, which is upgraded by Orc Fang earrings.

Old-world items that are still really good in Velious will likely go up due to people not wanting to camp them (since they are old world) and the more plat entering the economy from semi-retired players. Items like Fungi, CoF, Heiro Cloak, Siblisian cloak, etc... Since there is nothing for level 60s to do pre-Velious besides play alts, farm and raid, lots of those items are being farmed. It'll still happen but to a lesser extent in Velious.

I don't think Manastone will go up in value much or go down in value much since it is only usable old world. Although it may go up due to the upgrades to CT (the god) and PoHate and Chardok, I don't think those 3 things will make it go up more than it is already. No one is going to pay 200k for an item for 3 zones.

Items like Trak BPs (Thurg/Hate BPs) and RBG/RBG (haste belt from SG) will probably go down because while still not easy to get, it is now much easier to get.

Other common low-end items (i.e. Nightshade Wreath) and items that are still close to droppable best in slot (i.e. Obulus Death Shroud) will likely not change much.
