5.0 Economy

As i am sure you are all aware, 5.0 has brought with it shiny crystals and all the pain and benefits they hold. Well before I dive into the current situation, lets quickly look at the concept behind them. They are an item only able to belooted in low lvl non cash shop areas, namely mobs under lvl 100. They are now required in almost all craftingg, can be used in most npc shops for low lvl gear and can also be used as very cheap sockets. The basic concept was they would replace the vis used in crafting items, like the ele jewels to craft archangel heart and those sort of things, and instead of the vis being consumed(removed from the economy) it would instead go to low lvl players who make their vis from farming shiny crystals.

Ok, now the problems for our version. Compared to kGE and sGE our player base ins very small furthermore as i know from trolling sGE they have alot more lower geared players, and in general more people suited to farming hsiny crystals(ofc there are the bots who mass farm them, but lets pretend they don't exist). From this alone a basic economic knowledge dictates they have a much stronger supply for shiny crystals, and in my personal opinion, comparativly less demand for their consumption.

As the situation stands on orpesia they are 200k each, however when compared to the old reciepes they should be valued around 50k at most. As a direct result of this DHr prices have plummeted as the cost and difficulty to craft them is now beyond ALOT of players.
