Economy after Freedom?

I have found my first purple recipe (yay!) I think I will sell it as the money I get from that will go a long way towards sets for other powers.

Now, do I wait for Freedom to bring in more players or will i get a better price now?

TY!

Well, looking at ye olde chart... there are limitations to market access and the amount of INF at various levels.

Sell now. *shrug*

You might possibly be able to sell it for more in the future... but you might also not be able to sell it for as much in the future. I'd say to just sell it now, because otherwise you could on for it for the rest of eternity... and unless you plan on slotting it, it's doing nothing for you in its current form

New players aren't going to have any inf and most returning players will probably find that their formerly massive stockpiles of inf are a mere pittance these days. Plus the fact as Bill said that market access is limited for non-VIPs.

Sell it now.

I think the market will crash a little but not a lot. You get access to the market way before you get access to the invention system, which means lots of prem players will be selling salvage on the marketplace(assuming salvage still drops natch), and if they still get recipies those will also go on the market.

Thus supply will go up, but demand will go up at a slower rate.

In any case, I do not see in any situation the cost going up because of freedom, so sell sell sell.

Salvage and recipes don't drop unless you have access to the invention system (either by license or by tokens or by VIP), so freebies won't be glutting the market with their unusable bits and bobs.

I'm still not clear on what "limited market access" means for Premiums. They can sell but not buy? Buy but not sell? They can do both but only have a few market slots?

Pretty sure "limited" access means those who paid for the rights to the market and those with the necessary vet reward can use the market just as well as anyone else. Those who don't meet those requirements can't do anything.

Also, be sure to compare prices between crafted and recipe, it may be worth crafting.

I've never seen a purple that didn't go for considerably more crafted.

Warning: if you want to sell for X, list at "considerably less than X, plus a little." For instance, if I want something to sell for 50,000,000 I list it at something like 45,000,908. That puts me ahead of the people who want 50,000,000 and list at 50,000,000... or 49,000,000.

And if I do sell at 45,000,909 that's still a good enough price for me.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Some of the Confuse, Hold and Immbolize ones are very close for made and unmade. I always check just in case.

I also picked up an Apocalypse one that was almost identical for made/unmade.

Giant is correct. If a Premium account has the $2/mo license, they can access Inventions unlimited. If a Preemie account has 27 reward tokens (fill up Tier 7), they can access Inventions unlimited. If neither of these are true, a Preemie cannot access anything to do with Inventions. (Same as a Freemie.)

LotG +7.5 recharge tends to be upside down. Just checked and level 25 recipe goes for 145mil and crafted are going for 60-65.

I figure this is do to everyone and there mother running tips and using 2 A merits to get a level 25 LotG. Not going to complain since I use 4 or 5 in every build.

Isn't there also a restriction to inventions for free and premiums?

The first purple recipe I had drop, if I held on to it would net me about 800 million now, as opposed to the 300 million it got me back then. However, that 300 million gave me enough capital to earn billions.

Sell now. It will always be worth more in the future, but by then, you may find it easier to afford 20 of them.

Pretty much all of the "answer" (versus the "request clarification") posts in this thread are saying just that. Free users do not have access to inventions, period. Ever. Premiums only have access to inventions with either a) a $2 license that lasts one month, or b) a bunch of vet tokens.

With purples available via E merits, they may be dips with price in the future.
I'd expect a slight hike in price with the purple sets that relate to time manipulation too.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):
