Market Update [Day 1710]

Day 1,710, 15:31 • Published in USA USA • by Jetsmets

Hello readers and welcome the the sixth issue of the eNY Times. Here you can find out the day-to-day prices of food, weapons, currency, and jobs and how it relates to you, the reader. Today is Day 1710 and I went to the markets at 14:10. Sorry I didn't publish an article yesterday, RL interfered. I did go to the Markets at 12:00 yesterday so Changes will be based on prices from Day 1709. Big news of the day is obviously Q7: Admin's Quest for Cash. I will go into Q7 further after prices, but for now just know not to buy Q7 in case the high prices didn't already tell you not to. Now onto the report.

As you may or may not have noticed, Admin released Q7 Food and Weapons today and a 30% Bonus Gold sale yesterday. And as any idiot could have guessed, prices fell... Again. Q7 Food and Weps are way way way overpriced. In a perfect eConomy all Qs would have the same price per Hit/HP and Q2 would be twice Q1, Q3 would be three times Q1 etc. Q7 Food is 55.78 times Q1 and $0.73 higher per HP. Q7 Weps are 27.46 times Q1 and $5.66 higher per Hit. Bottom line is Q7s are too high but should settle down after the 44% off sale ends. Q6s should drop to about $19.50 now that they aren't the best money can buy. Also, Q7 is the equivalent of a Q10 since they Heal/last 10 times longer and thus should be worth 10 times a Q1, unlike a Q6 being worth 6 times a Q1.

WRM has tripled in price so if you stockpiled when it was at $0.09 now is the time to sell it off. Once people buy Q7 food factories FRM should increase in price too. If you're looking to make some quick cash or just stock up on gold buy some Gold near the end of the 30% bonus sale, that's when it should be cheapest. Prices will return to normal after that so don't be late. That's all for now. Check back hopefully tomorrow for another Market Update. There's a big storm heading toward CT so I might lose power/internet.
