Add balanced fury / taos to gachapon

for furies it was pre cwk and was best in slot where people actually did the exchanges. mtk at 500m is from when it first came out, before they started dropping like hotcakes

 

Lol again with the shit talking and passive aggressive language.
Who exactly is whining? You've created this theoretical situation where new NLs are in desperate need for cheaply priced end-game attack stars, but they're too good for virtually free Ilbis that are basically free to recharge at the cost of 3 wa.

Is this the invisible wall of progression at play again?

 

thats true but they usually have 3-4 sets just in case they mess up and there's some with a full inventory of furies. at the end of the day, there was much less demand for stars and people bought what they could afford. btw not everyone knew about/was willing to rely on the bug

 

who needs bfs anyways ilbis are goated

 

It's been over two years since the CWKPQ bonus change and CWK exchange implementation, so pardon me if I don't attribute the recent price changes to that but rather an uptrend in late game players switching over to NL and certain individuals buying out the entire fury/tao market in anticipation for this trend, not a bunch of new NLs that desperately need Furies over Ilbis. For the entire time you've played, MTK has stayed the same price because their cost is directly correlated to their craft materials being mesos (flat 100m) and NT coins (virtually free with growing popularity of NT/NT2). MTKs set a price ceiling. I don't understand your obsession with this supposed 'correct' or idealized price. There is no such thing as a correct price. Price is determined by what people are willing to pay for things. If people are willing to pay 500m for MTKs, that is their market price. But people have become privy to NT crafting and have access to NT coins, so they can craft MTKs easily for about 110m themselves, so they do that instead of overpaying in the market, hence MTK's current stable price.

Furies don't have this because players have grown so accustomed to buying and selling from the market that they haven't leaned into the actual source of the supply for quite some time - the exchanges. However, as Furies grow more expensive, the better the option to farm these exchanges becomes. That is its intended design.

On the other hand, if pcoins were removed from bosses tomorrow, the available supply would fall short temporarily as a major flow of supply would be cut off. Prices would increase until the market adjusts towards the next method of farming coins (gach). If people are unwilling to pay the new prices, they should also look into ways of generating their own supply. That's how this game works.

You're also just not asking the right questions. I'm not opposed to buffing CWK exchange in other ways - like asking for an increased ETC drop rate, or better designed maps, or an EXP bonus to facilitate for 3rd job grinding. I'm just not really sold on this whole rhetoric of "LOOK PRICE DOUBLED, THE ECONOMY REEEEEE, THIS SERVER IS FUCKED, MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR QOL PURPOSES, ANYTHING THE RICH SAY IS POINTLESS BECAUSE BAD FAITH ARGUMENT, LISTEN TO OUR NEEDS OR IT'S JOEVER," as it just facilitates for laziness in a game that's supposed to be about exploring, grinding shit out, and finding your own strategy.

 

We are all waiting for the promised Subani Ankh rework to do cwk exchange for furies.

 

im dumb

 

While being able to anticipate market trends can be advantageous, it shouldn't be the primary source of profit due to the associated risks and capital investments.

Time spent navigating the market represents an opportunity cost in terms of lost farming time. In general, I believe players should prioritise consistent farming and seek free market information and tips by simply asking around.

 

The uptick in Balanced Fury prices is actually a market correction as they were undervalued and had to wait out their historic supply of materials for crafting. Taos are no longer entering the game aside from the random noob mistake, so BFs are now only produced by a very mediocre exchange. This means that there is an shrinking supply of BFs as players quit, and over time the thousands of historic Taos have mostly run their course.

Attack per meso is a function that determines what gear ought to be upgraded next, and until recently it actually made no sense to upgrade from BFs to MTKs until after you've created your own perfect claw and was roughly equivalent to working on a 21-23 attack glove in terms of value. Attack gain is all relative to each potential source, and prices have a tendency towards equalizing in a more or less efficient manner.

Those are what I consider the two main contributors to their new price increase: The supply of crafting materials was effectively shut off, and the discrepancy in efficient upgrades creating a new market pressure towards a new equilibrium. If the supply of crafting materials remained at a steady level, the likely result would have been an eventuality of MTK prices dipping to a point where it wouldn't be profitable to craft them, and would be similar to APBs in that regard.

As of right now BFs are probably where they ought to be, but they're likely to continue their trend towards becoming a rare item. In 5 years you might have trouble finding any if nothing changes. It's actually sort of funny how completely they were gutted from the game, and essentially left only to remain in dead content.

 

Omw to dominate the tao market

 

On the other hand, once it reaches a high enough price, the exchange(s) becomes more worthwhile. Though I don't recall NL being very good at gathering badges to begin with.

And they said NL was immune to balance changes

 

Perhaps people are just undervaluing the other exchanges. Very roughly speaking, a tao (as one third of a BF, minus the other components which aren't worth much) can be seen as 1/3 * BF price, so ~18m as of latest prices I saw.

Sure, the ws exchange has the huge potential ws influencing the EV, but assuming the other raffles can be completed in 25% (or less) of the required time for the WS raffle, I think something can be said for the other EVs, factoring in potential Tao prices.
