Does the Dilithium Exchange even work?

I have offered to sell dilithim for Zen on the dilithium exchange several times, and I've never had a successful sale. Does the exchange even work?

    It may be working too fast for you.

    If you want to buy Zen for, say, 320 dilithium per Zen, then not much will happen if the price has moved to 321 while you were placing your order.

    This can happen. Generally speaking though, yes, it is working.

    Yes, it works, you just need to post your offer in line with what's already posted or you won't get anything.

    If you want to move dilithium between alts, then posting it at something way below what is there is the way to go. I usually move it at 25 per zen to move it between alts.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    This.
    As someone who uses the DL Exchange all the time I can confirm that it works real fast. If you try to buy Zen for a price below the current market value, you will generally not be able to do so until someone posts some Zen for that price.

    It is purely a player driven economy that fluctuates based on in game events such as C-Store sales, new lockboxes (which drives the demand for keys up, and thus the demand for Zen), and new C-Store releases.
    Supply and Demand.

    Place your offer at one point lower than the current market and it should sell instantly.
  • devencombsdevencombs Member Posts: 225 Arc User
    I figured out what I was doing wrong. I would offer a sizable sum of dilithium for a lot of Zen, and then wait. I didn't realize that the exchange works much faster. It appears to work best if I but Zen in small amounts.

    I need to mine more dilithium.

    The mines isn't the only place to get dilithium. You can get it from playing the game, doing patrols, etc.
