But on an absolute scale, that's an ABSOLUTE SHITLOAD of money for the average p99 player which hasn't been autistically accumulating wealth 7/24 for years.

If a person can't afford Holgresh Elder Beads, they're already winning P99.

Actually, future expectations is a textbook determiner of demand.

If folks believe that the item is going to be worth more next year it generates demand now to buy the item, which raises prices even more.

This was already happening by folks who understand p99 tunnelquest, but discussing it on the forums helps make more folks aware of it.

Elder Beads will hit a cap of around 400k. You go beyond 400k and the market shrinks quick. The main problem is that those who have Elder Beads generally have no reason to sell them, especially considering they are rising in price.

Why is it a problem? Beads are a great item that are very rare. They should be priced accordingly. If they were low priced then I'd say its a problem.

They are actually priceless. People who have/use them NEVER sell it for obvious reasons..

Only reason Fungi costs as much as it does is you cannot box to PL characters and grouping on a Melee character 1-50 is excruciatingly slow. Fungi allows you to reliably solo most Melee classes up to around 50. It's a cheap, recyclable PL of an item.

On servers where you can box Fungi isn't worth much at all since it's much better to just box a Druid and PL your Melee character.

My point is that something that improves the quality of life / saves time can cost a lot, even with an infinite supply, let alone when the supply is finite.

For someone who uses eye on a day-to-day basis, not ever having to worry about probes again is a significant QoL improvement.

Like, how much would you pay for your WC cap to have infinite charges? I would probably pay a shit ton, even though I can recharge it easily.

Or Druiding around with a Robe of the Springs.

Manastone is 3:1

250 health pr 12 sec = 83,3 mana
83,3/2 = 41,7 mana pr tick

Minus the 21 mana pr tick you lose from not sitting
Minus the 15 regen you lose pr tick for not wearing a fungi = 5 mana pr tick
Minus the 3 natural regen bonus from sitting = 1 mana pr tick

Net gain with robe of the spring 41,7 minus 27 = 14,7 mana pr tick.
