Global item rarity needs to be looked at

Help do the research. Or maybe you just like everything being candyland? Choice is yours.

Candyland? Wtf does that even mean?

And why would I do any research? I've already made it quite clear the reasons why I think there is a high concentration of items like fungis on this server compared to same-era live. And it's common knowledge and it's generally accepted that the timeline, population, and player types (and perhaps present-day knowledge vs. live-era knowledge) are the reasons why we've got a relative abundance of stuff like fungis on here compared to on live.

You're the one who thinks that mob spawn rates and item drop rates are off, YOU should be doing the research instead of coming here and yapping about what you think the problem is without having any proof.

During the early days of velious, fungi tunics were 30k on Fennin Ro if I remember correctly.

lemme tell yah, joined after kunark when shit was poppin in blackburrow. dont remember even hearing of a fungi (remember hearing of ceremonial bp tho!) until luclin lolzzzzzzz. every1 and there dog knows its over camped now cause its fucking the #1 item. seems common sense lol. Literally imagine someone knows the future of a item, then the future comes and they do nothing about that item. u all dum

This game, P1999, is now going on nearly 3 years old. You have a bunch of people that knew right away at the start what to do and where to go to loot and level like hell. And there was no real nerfs and lot of XP bonus times in the begining.

So imagine my surprise there is a ton of top end gear available for all to enjoy at cheap prices. Hey we are all a lot smarter, well not all lol, than we were in 1999.

About 6 months ago or so (maybe a bit longer) a fungi tunic was going for 220k.

Maybe a lot longer. Maybe the first one sold went for 220k. Six months ago they were about half that, maybe. Then everything dropped in price because IB left and the number of super-twinks decreased.

i traded a hierophants cloak for a fungi tunic during the early days of velious, when both were going for between 18 and 25k...so im not sure what caused your servers prices to be retarded. dumb idea is dumb

I sold 3 fungi tunics at 250k per had people beg me to sell to them lol. Fucking sickens me how cheap they are now its lame as can be-

It's easy to get one or two people to farm the fungi. The Hierophants cloak is another matter entirely. Especially since you need a rogue to get back there in the first place.

The more something is camped the more of them that's going to be in circulation. Loweing the price. Simple supply and demand. Also the fungi serves a lot more of a purpose than the Hiero cloak. Which is basically just for stats.

Hierophant Cloak is best in slot, just like Fungi, for a lot of classes and a lot of situations.

It's not as bad as you might think.

The decrease in item cost has been offset by an increase in plat value. 100kpp has a lot more buying power than it did 6-8 months ago, and not just because market saturation has forced the pricing down across the board.

Earlier this year, I could make 100k by camping a hiero cloak. Now, I need to camp two hieros and a handful of efreeti boots to make that same amount. That's a lot more time invested; hence, the value of that same amount of plat has risen in terms of the p99 economy wherein the currency is defined and limited by the time spent obtaining it.

[funhorroryes]

all items should of already been made rarer due to the unrealistic timeline

this isnt classic. kunark never lasted this long
