PSU: Pointless Economic Forecast

[Allison_W]

So, because I felt like taking a brief break from Snowy hunting, I decided to do a quick forecast based on the end of Firebreak and the coming of the new missions. This post will inevitably be pointless for most readers, but maybe it'll benefit some of the less clued-in folks. Predictions apply to both the PS2/PC and 360 versions, or so I think.

List of items that will INCREASE IN VALUE:
Twin Bearclaws/boards (supply HALTED for year; then DOWN)
Puyoment Aura (supply HALTED for year; then DOWN)
Twin Kitty Claws (supply HALTED for year; then DOWN)
Twin Snowy Claws (supply HALTED for year)
Garment Aura (supply HALTED, possibly permanently)
Berry Red (supply HALTED, p.p.)
BR Burning Poster (supply HALTED, p.p.)
Jao (supply HALTED for year; then DOWN)
Ban-photon (supply DOWN)
Nanoresin (supply DOWN)
Nanopolymer (supply DOWN)
Ortapolymer (supply DOWN, probably slightly)
Ortaresin (supply DOWN, probably slightly)
(supply of the preceding will be halted or reduced soon--stock up now and wait for values to increase)
Daiga-misaki (supply HALTED TEMPORARILY)
(supply of the preceding one item will inevitably resume when we get a mission with LV100+ Tengohgs; I wouldn't worry too much)
Fire weapons in general (demand UP)
Ice armour in general (demand UP)
Electric weapons in general (demand UP SIGNIFICANTLY)
Ground armour in general (demand UP SIGNIFICANTLY)
(supply of the preceding four will increase following demand--get your sales in early for max profits)

List of items that will DECREASE IN VALUE:
Ray-photon (demand DOWN SLIGHTLY; supply UP)
Morbinia (supply UP)
Majimra (supply UP)
Mira-Kikami (supply UP)
Gudda Skela (supply UP)

Miscellaneous popularity changes:
Crimson Beast (WAY DOWN)
Mad Beasts S2 (DOWN MODERATELY)
Rainbow Beast S2 (DOWN MODERATELY)
Defensive PAs such as Rising Strike, Bogga Zubba, Anga Dugrega, etc. (UP SIGNIFICANTLY, if we're lucky and the Neudaiz party mission makes people grow brains)
Fortefighter handguns (UP--Dimmagolus, lulz)
Electric bullets and techs (UP)
Douchebaggery and Asshattery (WAY UP--Neudaiz party mission lulz)

New junk (clothes omitted):
[B] Gur Asted
[B] Gudda Hon
[B] Bil de Axe
[B] Gur Bazga


I think that's everything. Of course, I'm probably wrong, and in any case quite irrelevant.

Hmm, perhaps I should stock up on Douchebaggery and Asshattery...

[mvffin]

Interesting thread.

[Dj_SkyEpic]

What's the forcast on:

-Nanopolymer
-Ortapolymer

[Shou]

i agree on everything but i dont think you had to say anything about the techs because i think people just lvl up their favorite looking techs first (i know i do Gizonde FTW :3 )

i just cant wait for the new newdaiz mission because there are lots off goodies for techers :3

Normal Jaggos drop them o.o;



Puyoment Aura (supply HALTED for year; then DOWN)

It's a casino prize in AoI. So once that comes out, there will be an unlimited supply of it.



Twin Bearclaws/boards (supply HALTED for year; then DOWN)
Twin Kitty Claws (supply HALTED for year; then DOWN)
Twin Snowy Claws (supply HALTED for year)

Like the Puyoment Aura (and Rabol Rappy) these could be casino prizes later on. I stated this many times in other threads, there's nothing that says that they aren't gonna change each year, let alone not available else where. Look at Rabol Rappy for instance, it shows up in the casino and Fami Cup as prizes.

I state that the event rare enemy drops are likely to change due to the lack of consistancy in which the drops are, such as Feather of Serafi dropping from various level ranges on the various event rappies, never consistant. Plus alot of these drops have little to nothing to do with the enemy or event themselves, especially this last time around with the claws. Probably just some for fun items that they didn't know how to give out to the players so they plopped it on this enemy. The decoration though, will probably always be the same for obvious reasons.



Garment Aura (supply HALTED, possibly permanently)
Berry Red (supply HALTED, p.p.)
BR Burning Poster (supply HALTED, p.p.)

These could be casino prizes as well. There could also be another mini game sort of thing in AoI that has prizes or a later expansion. We'll have to see http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

D'oh again; I forgot about those. Nanopolymer will go up in value due to going down in supply--probably the same for Nanoresin. I'm going to gamble the same will happen for the Orta versions, though do a lesser extent, given that the Neudaiz party mission will inevitably be very popular.

Probably next time we get the lobby for Sonic's birthday--same with the snowies. However, the kitty claws will probably be harder to find. The kitty and snowy claws aren't actually Firebreak drops, as far as I'm aware; they're Jaggo Sonichi drops. However, Firebreak did give us a map in which Jaggo Sonichis appear as a non-rare spawn, which there's a good chance we won't have in the future.

It was a casino prize in the beta. That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be a prize in the final version.

As for the Berry Reds: more likely, they'll just be rendered obsolete by the coming of the AoI room schemes.
