Watching the Market

[Keileon]

It's unlikely that it's a big breeding project-- with all the massbreeds of Blacktips not moving their prices at all.

 

What's interesting is the following:

-- Tomorrow is the first day of autumn on DC

-- From what I remember, Fleshcrownes are a migrating breed like Rift Wyrms, ie they move biomes regularly. I may be misremembering, but I do think they were our first breed to act this way.

-- Harvests normally increase price when they, too, move biomes to simulate their scarcity during winter

 

Point 3 normally happens on the first day of winter, but since the seasons ARE changing tomorrow perhaps that has something to do with it? Maybe Fleshcrownes are also going into some sort of hibernation prep?

Fleshcrownes are always available in every habitat, I thought? I don't see any indication on the wiki saying they do that, and I don't remember that happening.

According to the creator's exposition as quoted on the wiki's page, they aren't much active during the winter and go into hiding other than when collecting food during the day. Maybe they will become scarcer during the DC winter?

They're available in 2-3 habitats every hour, which switches up every hour like Aveas.

 

 

Also both fleshcrowne and harvest eggs become rarer in autumn-winter, which is intentional. It was asked about and confirmed a few  years ago in Help somewhere, just wasn't particularly noticeable before the market.

I had no idea! Thank you  

[Shadowdrake]

Also, with the new release rares have shot up again, with silvers and golds increasing by 100 and magmas by 200. I haven't checked the others.

And Rift Wyrms, I think, with Coast being their "base" biome.

Rifts appear in 1-2 biomes every hour, with one biome always being Coast.

hope everyone enjoyed the equinox! as usual, in the wake of the new release, prices have spiked. some good news though! everything that increased in price this week had just decreased the prior week (with the exception of aeons), so it more or less balances out. also, not all of the breeds that changed last time are included today - we have a few that stayed at their lower price!

 

aeon +100 shards (1700 -> 1800)

black +100 shards (300 -> 400)

blusang +100 shards (1200 -> 1300)

fire gem +100 shards (700 -> 800)

gemshard +100 shards (200 -> 300)

hellfire +100 shards (100 -> 200)

ice +100 shards (3700 -> 3800)

magma +100 shards (4900 -> 5000)

nexus +100 shards (1500 -> 1600)

sapphire +100 shards (200 -> 300)

silver +100 shards (1700 -> 1800)

thunder +100 shards (3600 -> 3700)

undine +100 shards (200 -> 300)

chicken +100 shards (4200 -> 4300)

red dino +100 shards (2500 -> 2600)

 

and of course, equinoxes and mistras are now on the market at 100 shards each!

Thank you for posting weekly! 

 

I appreciate having some one help post updates. I often forget.

[Fawkesian]

hey all! hope nobody missed me too much last week - i ended up sick and wasn't able to post. but i'm here again today with the news!

these prices decreased over the past two weeks:
aeon -100 shards (1800 -> 1700)

black -100 shards (400 -> 300)

gemshard -100 shards (300 -> 200)

gold -100 shards (2300 -> 2200)

hellfire -100 shards (200 -> 100)
magma -100 shards (5000 -> 4900)

sapphire -100 shards (300 -> 200)
silver -100 shards (1800 -> 1700)

undine -100 shards (300 -> 200)

chicken -100 shards (4300 -> 4200)
red dino -100 shards (2600 -> 2500)

 

and this one price increased:
blancblack +100 shards (300 -> 400)

notably, golds are at the lowest price i've seen in a good while, which is definitely nice.

[Fawkesian]

happy halloween week! this should (with any luck) be the last bi-weekly update, and i'll be back to weekly updates going forward. we've had a pretty quiet two weeks in terms of price movement. however, staterae xenos have increased for possibly the first time.

 

blusang -100 shards (1300 -> 1200)

ice -100 shards (3800 -> 3700)

nhiostrife -100 shards (300 -> 200)

paper -100 shards (2900 -> 2800)

thunder -100 shards (3700 -> 3600)

 

staterae xenowyrm +100 shards (1200 -> 1300)

What? Ack! I knew I should've just bought as many as possible before they started going up, lol.

[Fawkesian]

good afternoon, dc! with halloween all wrapped up (aside from the ap), we're starting to get our scrolls unlocked from the new release eggs, and... honestly, there's not been much happening on the market, seeing as everyone has been focused on the event breeds.

 

we've only had two price increases this past week:
thunder +100 shards (3600 -> 3700)
staterae xenowyrm +100 shards (1300 -> 1400)

 

thunders are no surprise, they've been flip-flopping a lot, but you'll notice this is the second week in a row that stats have gone up. i wouldn't panic yet as this may just be due to the usual "new release price spike", but we'll keep an eye on it.

[Obelisk-of-Light]

Staterae prices have gone up for three weeks in a row now (currently 1500); I hope we get a price drop tomorrow. I'm going to wait until it goes back to its base price (1200) before buying another one.

[Shokomon]

I keep forgetting I have enough money now to buy a dino...

 

But WHICH dino is the question...

 

Also, PRICE UPDATE. Because I haven't done it in a bit.

Bolded words = Prices or dragons of special interest (to me.)

• Magmas have stayed under 5000 shards! Hurrah!
• Nexuses and Glided Bloodscales are still too expensive for their rarity.
• AnD IMPERIAL FLESCROWNES ARE 1000 SHARDS????!!
• • When did this happen??? 
  • Why???
  • Is it because of their seasonal migration??? (I think they and Harvest dragons are the ones who do that. *leaves Harvests in the list as a comparison*  Harvests aren't as expensive though.)
  • ?????
• Aeons are really expensive now. I remember when they were below 1000 shards. That makes me sad.

Anyone have anything interesting they noticed?

 

Now I need to pick a dino that is not yellow or purple (because I have those)...

- Magmas are still really expensive.

- Imperial Fleshcrownes are still strangely expensive.

- And Nexus & Bloodscale prices still don't make sense.

 

On a side note, I finally bought a Dino! Got a green one! ...Because it was the cheapest... Lol

[Shokomon]

I just realized I already had a Green Dino...

 

Whoops.

 

On a side note, someone has a suggestion for the Market concerning prices: Link

Prices that rose since the last check are in red. Prices that dropped since the last check are in green. The highest priced item is bolded.

Notes:

- Gilded Bloodscales and Nexuses are still too expensive, along side Imperial Fleshcrownes.

- Magmas are still the most expensive thing.

- And Golds and Silvers are so CHEAP! 

It's a miracle!

:O

[LadyLoki]

Why is the Magma worth two Golds??? I... I don't understand that math? I've caught a lot of those in my time, and it's hard to trade them for anything good.

I'm debating if I should buy a Gold. I only have 2 CBs...out of my goal of 6. But I have zero Staterae. I have enough to buy two of those, or one Gold and one Stat. Siiiiigh...decisions, decisions. 🤔 I feel like the Gold is the way to go, though, considering their current price. (I'm pretty sure I spent 3000+ on the first one I got from the Market, but I can't remember)

Thanks @Shokomon for the updates! You're awesome!

ETA. I bought a Gold, because when I just looked they were 2,000 shards instead of 2,100 shards right now. I think if this keeps up for another couple weeks I'll be able to actually manage to have two sets of CB Golds! Fingers crossed, anyway.

Bolded = the most expensive item; Underlined = True Rares

 

- Why are  Nexuses so expensive? They are are almost the same prices as Silvers. SILVERS!

- Also Golds and Silvers are still very cheap.

- And Magmas continue to be absurdly expensive.

 

I wonder if there is a lore bit to why Magmas are so expensive. Like you literally have to wade through Magma to get an egg, and that's a very dangerous job?
