Posted March 13, 2016 I had an Almandine up for trade few weeks ago, not asking for anything over the top just best of of Storm/Grey hatchies or CB Imperial hatchies, (nice and easy) i thought asking for 25 was a good and fair trade but not to ones wanting it maybe they should look at how long it will take them to catch an Almandine compared to how long to do an IOU trade without causing disruptions to their own plans i have given up hunting for them now, waste of time and egg space for next to nothing I was going to go for that but I hadn't any hatchies ready and not enough space to lay more than one egg. So - it wasn't so much that no-one wanted it ! Share this post Link to post

Not long ago I really wanted something, entered an IOU and cheerfully paid 75 hatchies. Took time and effort but shouldn't that be normal? No idea why someone that really wanted a CB Almandine would not "work" on providing 25 Grey or CB Imperial hatchies. Share this post Link to post

Anyway, I spotted someone offering 2 CB Silvers for 1 CB Almandine yesterday at eatw, that seems nice too. Regarding huge IOUs, it's the commitment needed that causes hesitatation. Personally I will definitely look to fulfill all IOUs, that leaves me tied to DC. No offense but I like to be able to leave and not play anytime I want. DC is pretty slow-going. Also it ties the other party too, he/she has to be available to accept trades too. Most of the time I rather negotiate something to replace some of those hatchies for fast completion.

Posted March 14, 2016 What could I get from: CB Female Rainbow Copper CB Red Dorsal CB GW Egg CB Paper Egg CB Male Thunder Hatchy CB Thunder Egg CB Mageia Xeno Hatchy ? I don't want any of them. (I hope I could get an almandine :3) Share this post Link to post
Posted March 14, 2016 Usually I do not post trades and this time I did, just out of curiosity, to see how perfectly reasonable opinions translate on real trading. Here is a casual list of what people, Wanting CB Almandines, have been offering lately in the Trading section: - 4th Gen Prize - 3rd Gen Prize - 2nd Gen Silver - CB Silver - 3rd Gen Silver - 2nd Gen Gold - 3rd Gen Gold - CB Xeno - 2nd Gen Prizekin Let's say that there's not a lot of correlation between the rarity of the CB Almandines and their value I wouldn't pay an Almandine for any of those things either, so I don't blame you. But if you did happen to want any of those things, you'd definitely get it with one! Share this post Link to post

That's reassuring In this thread, we make "informed/educated guesses" on the value of eggs/hatchies , considering rarity, effort needed to catch/breed them etc. And we can't avoid being puzzled by the trading reality, when it clashes with our rationales Share this post Link to post
Posted March 14, 2016 I'm a little afraid to post this, but I have this question that I cannot even pretend is hypothetical: So, how many influenced and hatched CB lunar heralds would one ask for for the iou of a 2g bronze prize? From a holiday, or from a rare/uncommon? I'd love an idea of what sounds fair. I have no idea, you see. P.S. I usually reply to all PMs, but in this one instance, I'm not going to respond to anyone offering themselves for this arrangement. I'd just like some feedback on this thread, plz.

Things are getting ridiculous and out of control. I miss the days when people were reasonable in their trades. Edited March 14, 2016 by duskspoken Share this post Link to post

I think this would largely depend on how much you, and whoever you ended up trading with, are willing to be tied to the game. I'm a bit uncertain as to the actual rarity of Lunars at the moment (people seem to think they're getting rarer?) but between ten and twenty should definitely be reasonable. You could easily ask for more if you didn't mind a longer wait, as few people are willing to dedicate all their eggs slots to an IOU. Best bet- maybe do some sort of bidding process? I don't know where you could do that, since it'd be trading an IOU... maybe you could advertise it in your sig? I wish you the best of luck! Share this post Link to post

You cannot actually ASK anything for an IOU. You can post when you HAVE a 2 gen, and you can ask for however many hatchies or something - and invite PMs. I did see a trade for something else, not long ago where the trader said the egg would go to "best offer of grey hatchies", so you could always try that.

No, they could do what they're proposing, as long as they didn't just post it in the trade forums. Simply being active with a large note about it in their sig could be enough.

I'm not going to post an IOU trade, don't worry Edit: Whoops, forgot the rest! Thanks for the answers/pointers. This way I'll have a vague idea of what is too much or too little, and maybe make things easier on everybody by spreading it out a bit. Thanks again!

Posted March 14, 2016 What could I get from: CB Female Rainbow Copper CB Red Dorsal CB GW Egg CB Paper Egg CB Male Thunder Hatchy CB Thunder Egg CB Mageia Xeno Hatchy ? I don't want any of them. (I hope I could get an almandine :3) If you want a CB Almandine I don't think you could get it with them - reading some last posts you could say that CB Almandine is now rarer than even CB Golds, fair offer seems at least 2 CB Silvers for 1 CB Almandine. Maybe you could get 1 CB Spessartine for them all. But if you don't need Almandine to be CB I think you could get 2G Almandine for 1-2 of your dragons. You can swap your Red Copper for Brown Copper, maybe for Green Copper (adding Xeno and something else might help with it). You can also swap Thunder/Xeno for some other Xenos/Trios. Combining some of them you could get most things that worth less than CB Red Copper: CB Xenos (1 CB or more, depends of rarity), Blusang, Trios, Unbreedables, Seasonals, BSA hatchlings (a few), Uncommons or Commons (a few, eggs or hatchlings) - CB or bred from specific lineages. It depends what do you want and if you're willing to accept IOU's Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2016 I wonder if I could do an IOU with storm hatchies. I'm collecting them in case people need them for the Holly Contest. I know that I am not joining, so I do not need them. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2016 I don't see why not. Though you might have more chances by offering instead of asking for something. At least that's how I got a CB Silver recently. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2016 What is the rarest dragon you could seek in exchange for a CB Blusang? Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2016 What is the rarest dragon you could seek in exchange for a CB Blusang? CB Blusangs aren't hard to get anymore. You could maybe swap it for one of the easier to get Xenos or an unbreedable or some common CB hatchlings. But I wouldn't expect much personally. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Is there a reason that there's been an influx of users asking for storm/gray hatchlings in particular? Has their value changed recently in some way? It could just be the same user's requests that I keep noticing, I forget to look at usernames. EDIT: Nevermind, just noticed MadameZ's post above me. That explains it.

Posted March 24, 2016 I know the releases for March are still new so the trade value is changing. But are they (Sapphire and/or Antarean) worth 1:1 2nd gen prizes? Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2016 I know the releases for March are still new so the trade value is changing. But are they (Sapphire and/or Antarean) worth 1:1 2nd gen prizes? Definitely not. I could barely get a 3G Prize from them when they first released. If the rarity becomes Alamandine-like, maybe, but at the moment, no. I might be wrong, though. Someone might do it. However, if it helps, the most recent trade I did was 1 Dust hatchie for two 2G Balloons from Thalassas (of course, that's what I asked for). I guess it depends how bad the person wants new releases. I'm currently asking for CB Balloons (2 for one new egg) or CB Red/Green Nebulas, and no bites so far. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2016 I traded a CB Gaia for a Sapphire right before the second flood. That price should be considered high if they continue to show up as frequently as they are now, so no -- definitely should not be trading 1:1 with 2G prizes. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2016 Ah I see, I was wondering because of the trades I see that are asking for CB Golds and Silvers, some with 2gen prizes. I think I saw some 2gen prizekins going for 1:1 Has there been a determined rarity for them? Share this post Link to post

I think I saw some 2gen prizekins going for 1:1 Has there been a determined rarity for them? Well, people can ask for whatever they want but it doesn't mean they are worth that at all. And given how easy it is to get them as of yesterday evening (DC time), they are probably not worth CB Silvers/Golds/2G prizes. It is probably still too soon to determine the rarity, but I'm guessing that they will be common-uncommon. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Do lunar heralds have varying values based on their color? (I.e. Golds are worth more than indigo) or are they all about the same? Edited March 26, 2016 by Saami Share this post Link to post
