    What do you think caused the fall in demand and/or increase in supply?

    Seems like most items and scrolls have fallen in price over the past 6 months. Talking about stuff like coins, bathrobes, 30% shoe jump, Shield WA, Bow att, topwear luk etc

    Probably the only items that remained at the same level are OA int, OA dex etc

    Increasing supply of these items. Demand doesn't outpace supply until price drops enough. Could be a lot of factors:
    -Influx of new players (increased supply, small increase in demand)
    -Event raffles (increased supply)
    -Other non-meso generating farming including bossing (increased supply, decreased purchasing power -> decreased demand)
    -Decreasing number of players who would typically buy scrolls/coins, like retiring endgame players (decreased demand)
    -Decreased number of active projects, whether due to above or simply completed (decreased demand for specific scrolls/coins)
    -Decreased market manipulation, like people who would hold onto a bunch of one scroll (increased supply, more competitive pricing, decreased artificial demand)
    -Decreased reliance of p. coins as a currency since a lot of people saw that it doesn't necessarily hold its price (increased supply, decreased demand)
    -Probably a bunch of other possible reasons

    All these are speculation and based on my experience, not based on any internal server data.

    this was very significant with the cwkpq changes, and the downstream affect on some well known merchants

    this is partially because most of the end-game BM's that were pushing for TL bows have settled on their project, but there was also alot of new PB runs that opened in the last year.

    Good points. I think these 2 are possibly the main reasons. There used to be a bunch of rich players rolling for coins like it is nothing in the FM. If they go broke from flipping or quit the game thats a lot of mesos removed from the economy
