Posted November 8, 2021 43 weeks currently if you are around enough to earn your full shards (it's not hard to do, but longer if you are forced to a break)... It may be a bit discouraging for some people to try and save up. I kinda hope there is a cap. ^^° But on the other hand I won't complain. Started playing in 2008, left and came back every now and then for a few weeks and started to really enjoy playing constantly 2018 around halloween. Saw all the new breeds I had missed and was pretty overwhelmed. Realized, wow there are trades now. Realized how rare some dragons are and thought I'd never get them. Found out we also had a market and could save up for a rare dragon. Would take forever to get a Gold (I think they were around the 4k mark back then) but at least it was possible to get one all by myself without luck, super fast internet connection or generous traders. Some prices seem weird if you watch trades and what people like to breed and such, but even if it was completely random, it will always be an improvement to not having the market for me. And honestly it's just interesting to watch and try to predict how a new release or event may influence some breed. Share this post Link to post

Posted November 15, 2021 How are the market prices calculated? Every now and then I see dragons I thought would be expensive much lower in price, and then we have the Stateraes lol. Share this post Link to post

Every now and then I see dragons I thought would be expensive much lower in price, and then we have the Stateraes lol. That's not really known by users. Originally the idea was basically 1 week for really-commons (100 shards, the lowest) and 6 months for rares (approx 2,400 shards), but prices fluctuate based on over/under population and none of us really knows anything about the internal calculations or anything. Magmas (and now Stats) being so much higher than 'true' rares like Golds kind of throws a wrench into any ideas on how prices are calculated, lol. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 15, 2021 Guess I’ll just never have a staterae. I’ve literally never seen them anywhere except the market lol Share this post Link to post

I’ve literally never seen them anywhere except the market lol I've never seen them in the biomes, but they are up for trade in the hub pretty frequently. And if you have some of the other types of Xenowyrms, they have the ability to (very rarely) breed a Stat (breeding any Xeno can produce any other type of Xeno). Share this post Link to post

I’ve literally never seen them anywhere except the market lol The prices will plateau eventually, and probably decrease some time after it's sat there awhile, but it's anyone's guess what they'll stop at. Golds were around 4.2k-5k back when the market opened and went up several times after people were able to afford it yet they're down to 2k nowadays. Magmas (and the other trios) are kind of weird in that they're both rare and a BSA so people always want more magmas, keeping the price high, but stats don't have that additional feature so they probably will go down even if it takes ages. Stats have only been around for a year and a half so people haven't had much time to get their fill yet. tl;dr Don't lose hope, they'll stop going up eventually. Just keep saving your shards for them if you're dead-set on CB stats. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 16, 2021 personally, I'm amazed silvers and golds are as low as they are. I expected them to be higher than the papers/cheese - though not as high as dinos, which I haven't seen in the cave in years. Share this post Link to post

All hail the Staterate overloards. Priceus Maximus. (lol) I'm so sorry to anyone who needs to buy one. Pray we can breed them. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 18, 2021 I smell a new meme for Stateraes. Congratulations Stateraes, on being the most expensive! Share this post Link to post

I just want to see when these darn Stat prices start leveling off. I don't think we had anything go over 5000 that wasn't rare or an Unbreedable, but we may just get there. Do we have anything on record that was over 5000 shards? Share this post Link to post
Posted November 22, 2021 @Shokomon Current record is 5,600 held by Chickens! So far, there's data that prices for Papers, Chickens and Magmas have gone above 5k shards Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2021 Greetings, I think the pricing of the Imperial Fleshcrowne Dragons is a typo of 1000 vs intended 100, but maybe it is for the lulz. Not sure if that needs to be reported or not, Cheers! Share this post Link to post

Not sure if that needs to be reported or not, Cheers! Nope, search this thread for Fleshcrowne and you'll see that's normal. They 'migrate' during a certain point in the year and their price increases substantially (can't remember what other dragon does that, maybe Harvest?). Share this post Link to post

Equinox does that. https://dragcave.net/lineage/4OOOl I understand why Stats are so expensive, because they're supposed to be among the legendary class of rarity (and they look phenomenally amazing imho) I just happened to be unlucky enough to be just 100 shy of its price every month trying to get another and every week it was just out of reach. My fault for loosing patience and buying another silver to feel a little better. lol. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 25, 2021 Added a new part to the spreadsheet - it shows a summary of lowest and highest prices for the time period you selected! Let me know what else you'd like to see @Shokomon you can change the colour of the chart lines by clicking the three dots at the side of the chart -> edit chart -> customise -> series and then selecting the line color you want! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ulrW1IEbuoVsNhJYWX3vsGJUNFP62P45IcJV8ebYwk/edit#gid=1285941029 Share this post Link to post
Posted November 25, 2021 Oof "Priceus Maximus" is right. 😅 Saving up for my second Stat after buying my first from the market, I can see them surpassing the old record set by Chickens as they are in such huge demand it seems. I can't complain much since without the market I wouldn't have any CBs, still crossing my fingers for price drops and price stalls though. Good luck to everyone also chasing the purple dragon.

Please, no! Lol I'm lucky I even got a CB Stat during the original drop. I remember when I found out, I was at the tail end of the surprise drop. Hopefully, we will be granted mercy soon.
