Okay, as you guys know the update is bringing some major stuff (KoC, Maker, and Vicious Hammer). Here is my PREDICTION for the new update: Inflation - Clean BWG/SCG Reason: With vicious hammers coming out, people will want to be able to scroll 9 slot items such as these. Theoretically wg's would rise too...but they're already super cheap - Stat Scrolls Reason: Vicious hammers would put a huge demand on ALL weapon/glove/overall scrolls for any nx h0ar. Chaos too for super nx h0ars who also buy m3s4rz. - MOST* Weapons Reason: KoC'ers need new equips don't they? Assuming they don't all just make the same class as their mains. Plus, good original stat weapons are going to be at a higher value due to VH as well. I also believe that a lot of people are going to get a ton of weapons for scrolling's sake. - CLEAN PaC/FS Reason: Although similar to the SCG/BWG thing, people are probably going to want these more than before, instead of scrolled ones...for obvious reasons? Also, 10 stat PaC's will be inflated slightly - Diamonds/Sapphires/Stat Crystals/Stimulators Reason: Maker skill. 'Nuff said Deflations - Throwing Stars Reason: This one's a bit more 'iffy' but I think sins will go down in popularity with the new KoC, since they seem to be worse than the other jobs, it could stay neutral - 5-13 wa gloves Reason: [b]GG if you bought a 13 wa glove and don't have nx. Vicious Hammers are going to make gloves with 8wa 10x easier to obtain (7 slots, only 4 60%'s have to pass, that's an above average chance already. My approximate pricing would be 10 wa -> current 8 wa, 8 wa -> current 6 wa. Although I might be overthinking this, due to the fact that we don't know VH prices, and how many people will use them to scroll) - White Scrolls/Clean Slate Scrolls Reason: White scrolls are 10x more expensive than a VH (I'm assuming...) and Clean Slate is just as useless in comparison to VHs =o. Although Supa-Rich peeps might use white scroll + VH...=HeroTex's new 60 luck sauna? This is all kinda obvious stuff. I expect flames. >->. Could someone please give me the price of the Vicious Hammer?

You don't know how much hammers will cost. Heck, you could be losing money if you're not careful.

Sweeeeeet, I spent my last 200k NX to buy clean BWgs :D

idk the increase in demand from new cygnus knights characters would drive prices up but I think anything scrolled into a range that could already be done without VH will simply decrease in value as they will become easier to obtain, however clean stuff and scrolls should go up. My prediction is scrolled equips will raise in price immediately but overtime decrease with VH

Well heres a twist. YOU CANT USE THE VH UNTIL THERE IS NO MORE SLOTS.

You can use VH twice on one item

gingakuman 07/22/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Even if it is 30k, people will still buy it.

Well heres a twist. YOU CANT USE THE VH UNTIL THERE IS NO MORE SLOTS. also only 2 slots are avaible through vh.

I do realize that VH's can only be used after it's at 0 slots.....What does that have to do with it? People will still buy more clean ones =o. Although I s'pose I should reedit it to say that 13 wa 0 slot WOULD be decent actually. o-o

I think anything scrolled will get cheaper... The whole maple economy is screwed, this and KoC... the game is basically being made new.... Godly items will be less godly and due to the fact that the mesos limit can't increase and people don't like trading items your old 22 Luk Sauna worth (Hyperthetically) worth 500 mil now isn't so great with an added 2 slots. It will deflate. Can Hammers only be used on clean items. If they can then yes clean things will increase and scrolled things will.... Oh screw it i can't be bother Bottom line you don't have a clue what is going to happen until it happens, unless your an economist and if you are and your plaing maple go get laid

Just like when pirates came out, all their scrolls and equips took a spike. After the storm, prices have dropped. So I'm guessing a substantial rise into a gradual decline.

I agree with the comment above! :_)
