not yet?


november 2017
gold still contnued to be 5m
gst and mogs got their price raised to 12.5-13m and 50-55m respectively. still dont know how the logic behind it raising but hey this is pwi.
raptures and uncannies got their price reduced to 15k-20k and 5k-6k
fs coin 110-150k, cpacks 250k but continues to be not sold fast

drakeflames suddenly got price surged to 40m
as well as other shards as well they were pretty stable before but got their price almost doubled.
citrines 20m .. gems got their price raised starting the content update and eventually went up to double their original price.

dec 2017
gold was raised to 6m thanks to this
treasure hunter event
there was charge bonus but it didnt lowered the gold value.. somehow...magically. when few months ago when there is bonus gold it becomes even lower. keys sale as well. double bonus?...

gst and mogs got their price raised to 14-15m and 55-58m respectively i still dont know how this thing keeps raising when there is alot of gst and mogs in the market during the bonus events.. when there are many in the market .. the price should die down... but not really in case of pwi.
raptures and uncannies became 20k and 5k respectively.
not much change in fs coin but cpacks are nowhere to be seen now. if you do the math.. selling cpacks is a fail as well as selling fs coin..

january 2017-present

gold is still 6m
perfect token of luck = 20-30k
lucky coins - 300-350k
gst and mogs are raised to 15m and 60m respectively.... same as above. i dont know how this thing keeps getting up really?
not much changed..
g16 weapons are now 50m+=

jaden crystal 2b-3b
com - 2.5-4b
sot - 700-1b
drakeflames got it price reduced to 20m++ possibly due to the fact that people are not buying it anymore.
also garnet and magic version gem seems to be lowering.. still not sure how it got lower.


conclusion:
as you can see the higher the price of gold is ... the higher the price of everything else surrounding it.
you get more bang for your buck? not really since the prices of stuff gets raised every time gold is raised as well. so its balanced.. so whats really happening do you get more or get less with your money? nope you don't get more or less. the market balances itself during the raising or lowering of gold value. truth be told you are even losing more real life money when golds gets raised... even further .. so who's wining? pwi ofc. you need to charge more to get stuff that you need.... so who is really winning? think about it.. real hard.
you only get more bang for you buck when you got more gold and everything is cheap.. but this thing wont happen in pwi. coz market is controlled.
so for the mentally impaired people who can't understand stuff....

1. ""HIGHER THE GOLD IS = HIGHER PRICES FOR STUFF THAT YOU BUY -> YOU DON'T WIN you lose money even more.""

2. ""THE LOWER THE GOLD IS = THE LOWER THE PRICES OF STUFF THAT YOU BUY -> YOU DON'T WIN IN HERE EITHER SORRY. you just lose way less money than the first one"".

this data was provided by pwcats.info it is hereby accurate with 10% degree of error. hope this thing helps you understand pwi economics.

where non playing character sets up shop and buys your pack items with no intention of using it.. you know them.. the unli comshop non playing characters. hahaha. if that is not controlling the market, what is?

note: i said before that when fs coin dies..... everything will gets raised... well.. turns out i'm correct... gold is 6m now. hahaha go search the forums where i said that... now ty all for taking time reading this.

    Yes, indeed, if player buy items from cash shop, then he pay gold for it, not coins.

    Above post for cash shop items can be calculated using gold units.

    For example,
    The following will be available in the Boutique from 6/17 1:00 AM - 7/1 1:00 AM
    Dragon Orb Ocean - 25 Gold; Dragon Orb Mirage - 85 Gold; Dragon Orb Flame - 150

    The following Dragon Orbs will be on sale during Cyber Monday:


    Dragon Orb Ocean – 25 Gold

    Dragon Orb Mirage – 85 Gold

    Dragon Orb Flame – 140 Gold

    I have posted information with links included.

    I don't see anything unusual there.

    You can search for more links.

    Cash shoppers are independent from price of coins, since they can buy items in cash shop using gold.

    Gold is gold:

    2015
    1 gold=1 gold
    ...

    2018
    1 gold=1 gold

    Since you don't know how mog and gst keep rising in price, it coincides with the rise of GOLD price. It always will since it is a cash shop item. Do you think people going to sell gst and mog for less than price of gold? Well they wont, not since the NP promos ended. On NP promos people desperate to resale gold even at a loss so they get their sets.
