So zaishen coins are now traddeable and new weapons are available. What is everyone seeing these items and other new ones going for? What effect do you believe they will have on the market?

also a few greens with same skin

Well, with those new tonics and 1 (or more?) new mini's, the price will be very high at start, but i think this will go like the 6th year birthday tonics, since they are not that hard to earn too

zkeys are gonna go way down, equip prices will go down, as for the tonics they will go down a lot as well seeing as on the first day alone there are already plenty i've seen on the market. Also, since now 6th years can be used in explorable areas as well the ability to use rare tonics outside of outposts is not as exclusive. The new stuff will be hot for a few days and then will greatly decrease in price. just my ideas =)

I am curious to see just how far down the prices will go on this stuff. On one hand there are some easy to get items. On the other hand all accounts only get a finite amount of strongboxes so things like the new greens will flood the market over the next few days only to have the supply stagnate after everybody has done the few quests. Unlike any other green in the game we cannot just farm these until we find what we want. In another few months if one or another gets popular there will be few more trickling into the market and the prices might get higher again. Newer characters are getting their 6th birthday preasents everyday. How many people are going to get new accounts to get more strongboxes?

These strongboxes don't just come from these one time quests.

Getting strongboxes through wins is easy. Therefore there is an infinite flow of them coming in.

I'm curious as to whether elite Rit tomes will go down in price now that you only need 1 gold coin rather than 2.

Well I only just logged in and see that people are actually buying the gold coins for 2 zkeys each now and higher so yeah definitely a possibility at least for a while.

Could go on for awhile. Takes a lot of coins for them expensive (but nice) Envoy weapons. The filthy rich will be among the first to get them and after that the general population will slowly do the same.

As if ectos and zkeys aren't enough I think gold coins will be just another form of currency in the long run.

2 zkeys+ for a gold coin? Jesus, I can't imagine that'll continue for long.

Once the new skins, tonics, and minis become fairly common, the prices will settle down like they always do. Right now, they're being driven by the usual "gotta-have-this-NOW" crowd.

Personally, I think the new weapons are kinda ugly. I wouldn't pay 20k for one, let alone 100e+.

yeh I agree that gold zcoins will settle just a bit above 1 zkey in the long run.

now that just depends on wat the zkeys will be at in the long run.

I don't see them reaching 6.5-7k again

seeing as everyone wts and wtb at like 5-6k range
