Quote from Zeo;1286514:
Unfortunately it doesn't stop some people from buying something at a high price because there's several players in the Alexina server with the Special Snowflake Syndrome. They want to shell out money at the items even if it seem ugly to most of the players because it's super rare and to them, wearing something super rare make them a 'special snowflake' as well.
Tuan's wings are worth 200m because most players who got them did paid for around price but you are also right about how almost no one have them, so it set the mentality for the owners/sellers that they're worth a lot, just like with Sweetiepie Butterfly wings.
Really late reply but this has catched my eye. It seems that a lot of things in Alexina are over inflated. I can compare some items from Mari to Alexina, as it seems that Mari comes 2nd in population.
Let's see how much fashion items and gear are worth in Mari, based on people buying and current offers.
Black dragon eye: 10M
Black dragon heart: 35~40M
Summer school uniform(F): 30M
Black Angel wings: 80~90M
White angel wings: 70~80M
Incubus wings: 90M, dropped from around 150M and is now equal to angel wings value.
Wings of Tuan: 60M first days, 90M base after, now 200M since someone recently advertised and bought it after what, 1 week of asking various people to sell him their Tuan's?
As for gear... Well, let's do Languhiris with popular enchants.
Languhiris F and M are both 35-45 clean, depending on the prot roll, 5 prot roll could probably get you 50M though.
Long lasting & heroic enchants are around 30-40M.
As for other fashion... Well, there's butterfly wings, in which we probably have 3 or 4 sweeties in Mari, so no one even sells, however the fixed colour ones have a fixed price depending on colour. Yellow, Emerald and Burgundy all go for roughly 15M. Pink was 25M when gach came out but it seems to have dropped to 15-20M, with one in a belvast shop for 20M for weeks and it has not sold. Black and Blue remain the highest in demand, maybe because it has black/white as it's main? Anyways, they both go for 25-30M. Whereas lurking in Alexina forums, I've seen someone trading a black pair for black
angel wings? or buy it for a/w of 90M? holy crap.
Eitherway, it seems that people in Alexina are way more willing to drop thousands just to look cool. The only thing here in Mari that is insanely rare and would probably go for around 500$ is the Royal Princess Armor, which I've only seen 3 people with it. Not sure about the prices for those in Alexina, though.
