That's really impressive~ I'd think you'd loop commons in with ultra commons though- seems to me they're about the same.

Thanks for the thoughts all!

I agree that baubles are worth a lot since real money comes out of pocket and is meant to be a way to allow the people who give to the site to get extra special prize out of that. If I trade real money, I tend to let the person trading money determine how much to offer at a fair price to them, since they need to feel they get their money's worth, which can vary from person to person.

Even including August pet demand and that it is uncommon, I would probably agree 5B is a good amount. The way I'm looking at it right now is something like this:

Beta and Silverleaf glassworks(and any ultra rares offered for one day): ~50B+ depending on creature
Other Ultra Rares: 30-50B
Rare: 6-20B?
Uncommon: 3-5B
Common: 1-2B
Ultra Common: 1B (if any)

This is keeping in mind that 20B is $1 USA and not accounting for age of pets. I know it's too soon to set anything in stone, but opinions on how this looks? This is more so I don't need to keep asking over and over lol

Thanks again guys!

That actually seems pretty okay ^-^

But why do you group the silver leaf glassworks with the betas? I think that part is a bit off. There's what, 26 Betas on the entire site? They are worth so much you can't even put a number on it. If you look at the FR Beta Auction, it's already shot past a million Treasure and I expect it to reach over 2 million before it slows down. Silver Leafs are worth quite less. I'm not completely certain about how many of them exist, but it's definitely more than the Betas.

Thanks. that makes sense for now. In the future, we might have to separate that out, but if it's anything like CS, then most people don't pay C$ for anything less than an uncommon pet.

I increased the uncommon range to 7, since I feel that higher end uncommons, like the windigo for example, might be worth more.

I tend to be a more generous bauble and C$ giver in trades since I want to feel the person can get something. Like on Cs with the store, the cheapest items are 3C$ so I try to offer at least that much. On here, since there are only pets, that's harder to do.

Distortionist:
I think there's are 100-200 silverleafs. Perhaps just making a separate category for the beta's and the rest just being ultra rare?

Makes sense. I remember the Admins saying that they would be creating a new rarity for the Customs and CS adopteds, since most of them are unique. But saying a November ultra common is the same as an August ultra common would be very off, sort of like the 2013 rares and 2008 rares on CS.

*i guess until trades get going this is the worth discussion thread lol*

Yeah, my chart isn't taking into account date. That doesn't matter to me too much right now since it's only been a few months, but for now, august pets are generally higher end of the ranges and newer pets are lower.

Not to mention that many are still unknown. lol And rarities for customs and the like would be nice.

Hey all, me again! lol

Here's a trade offer I've got:

My thoughts:
The albino rune is a rare from August. The Void drake is a very rare offered for one day in October,. I know August pets are "in demand" and "popular" but considering the drake is more rare, and also "popular", I'm not comfortable with trading it for just the rune. What do some of you guys think?

Thanks!

I'd say a bit unfair to the void rune ^^

I agree with Distortionist, the Void drake is a bit more valuable. I think the other side should add something worth around a august rune dragon uncommon ^-^

Is 30 baubles too much or too little for an albino rune? C:

I think 30 is a bit too much for an albino rune, 17-25 would be a good price I think ^-^
