I think this would be interesting to know, and convenient for offsite trading. Maybe convert a pet like the Elderwind into baubles, then C$, then see how much it is worth on the CS rares list ^^ Maybe a Sunjewel? I'm new to this site too, so I'm not sure about the conversions.


Converting creatures like an Elderwind into a Sunjewel is extremely hard to do at this point in time because people kind of pay what they can, there's no set conversion rate. If you wanted a conversion rate it would cost $95 to buy enough C$ to purchase the Sunjewel (1800C$) but it would only cost $50 to buy the Elderwind. (1200 baubles) Twelve hundred baubles is quite a bit of overpay, actually.

Going off of this information, it would be about two nons and a sorbet = One Elderwind. There's just one problem. No one pays that little for an Elderwind. They're seem to be going for as little as a dogtag to as much as a sunjewel, even higher in some cases.

There's some faulty economics logic here. What it means is that baubles are currently subject to inflation (i.e. lower purchasing power) in comparison to C$. The discrepancy in trade value is just a symptom of that.

There's a reason we use dollars as legal tender. If someone wants to pay about $100 for something, that should convert neatly into each site currency if the economy is healthy and accurately reflects the state of a market. If it doesn't, that's more a problem with the site currency than the conversion process, itself.

For more on the theory and applications, as well as a practical example, I suggest reading this article and then making salient comparisons with the Eldemore trading situation. The sad fact is that it is probably near impossible to buy an Elderwind with on-site Eldemore currency. The only trades people are making for the most valuable pets tend to be offsite. Make of that what you will.

Edit: 'Only' is an overstatement. But there is an observable trend in the 'What did you pay for your ____' thread.

Hi Jen ^.^ I'm aware that everything with events is really busy, but I just wanted to let you know that the links to the pictures on the first page are all broken. I'm not sure if you knew, and I know that everything's hectic with the wonderful spring event, but I figured I'd say something anyway :)

It gives me "This webpage is not available," so I'm not sure. Our code wizard should be able to figure it out when he has time ^.^

Kind of, but based on the actual numbers of each of the listed pets in existence rather than factoring in demand. ^u^

oh I see, so when this site grows older (like CS) are pets going to start getting into demand and all that? I've already started keeping one of every monthly outcome based on my experience in CS.

This list is meant to to help members with the actual rarity only, since demand varies from person to person.
