notapwefan

Have you noticed it? t seems that more and more people are selling dilithium to buy zen to stock for forthcoming boxes.

Let's see if one zen will cost 400 di in a month

I was wondering what was driving that. I wonder how long that'll last. And how much profit I can make on this.

All I want is 200 dil per zen. I made a ton when it was 155-ish, at about 200 my 750 zen will be closer to 1000. 250+ and I'll be one seriously happy camper.

I'm really considering selling off the accumulated zen on my various toons right now, while it's still 160-ish.

Know what would be awesome and I'd love so much? If the KDF Maurader bridge officer were able to be customized.

(sorry about this, didn't mean to post this here, wasn't paying attention.)

What does this have to do with the price of Dil/Zen ?

People spent a lot of zen for the master key sale, so there's a slight shortage on that end. Nothing spectacular going on, I think. Although I suspect it will keep rising a bit once the temporal lockbox is out.

Sorry nothing, I posted when tired and meant to put this in the scheduled maintenance thread and wasn't paying attention. My bad, I apologize.

Anything goes on sale and prices rise instead of drop...keys cost less to purchase yet I've seen their price go up on the exchange...

it does it every time, but it wont get near 400 because starbases will still drag it down.

Oh don't worry it should be quickly back to 150 unless Cryptic manipulates the market as they often do. :P

Dilithium always goes up when new Lockboxes come to town. New Lockbox means demand for Zen to buy Keys. Plus we're coming into the last few days for the Key sale. In 3 weeks when everyone's bored with the new Lockbox it will go back down as the focus returns to Fleetbase grinding.

Yet, there is never that much of a change in rates. When fleetbases came up, people on the forums took a look in their magic crystal ball and foretold 1 Zen will be below 100 Dil. When I watched the eschange, it never dropped below 150 and on the other hand, never was significantly higher than 160. That's like the default value it most likely will have unless something relly ****s up the market.

The highest i ever saw it was 161 when i started playing again a few weeks ago. It would be nice if they had an hourly or daily chart of the rise and fall of the zen price. I gues its kind of like the stock market. lol

Hippie what pictures you have put up accuratly reflect you in real life?

Thats fine with me, I buy high and sell low to maximise my profit out of cryptic

Asx has been said above Dilithium starts to fluctuate asd soon as any new item that costs Zen is announced. However, I agree that, with Dilithium in demand more due to Starbase projects, I would be surprised to see it climb to the heights it had prior to Season 6.

But, it's effectively a 'free market economy' on the Dilithium Exchange so anything's possible. I do find it interesting that people claim Cryptic manipulates it, as, if that were the case, I think you see it stabalize at a much higher point in general, as players buying Zen is how the game makes it's money, so, if Cryptic were manipulating things, I'd never expect the price for one Zen to go below 300 dilithium; and tend to stay above that mark, nore often then not.

I picked up 3000 Zen while it was around the 150 price point.

Primetime UGC guys should make a character that gives a market analysis twice a week on video. Theres a guy in the Jupiter Force fleet that had a great market analysis few weeks back. He should voice the character or supply the script. I once said STO should do a mini foundry mission with a news anchor character in game when you log in that gives the news in game for all their z store stuff etc with a voiceover, but their obviously too lazy or uptight for such a cool and effective marketing tool idea for those who dont come to the forums much.

And me and my base thank whoever is responsible for the hike in exchange rates. 160 Dil per Zen and that was cheaper then the lowest amount shown! Sold 1000 zen in half a second!

thecosmic1

I prefer the amount low. I made 4,900 Zen last month and, even with the prices going up, I should make about 4,100 this month. Before Fleetbases I was only averaging around 3,000.
