    Diamond dragons are only obtainable from RNG boxes, no direct buy or account versions.

    Because they are dragons :chuffed: just kidding. It's a pay to win dragon. You can either buy the 2.0 dragon from broker or try your luck on opening the RNG boxes (from EMP shop). But you can get the 1.5 dragon on dragon scales but it may take a while :)

    You can still get diamond and ghost dragon 2.0 critic version and 1.5 criitc version from dragon tokens , it's not completly out of the game yet . All dragons from dragon tokens are tradable even the 1.5 critic version btw . I bought my 1.5 critic version from trade broker myself , too impatient to grind dragon scales .

    Prices are made by pure speculating what a player is willing to pay,prices are also made by players that invest(I don't invest in this game cause it has a very low return value) in this game and what their cash back,but with a hefty profit on the side. Is the same story with vm designs they are worthless, unless you invest buttloads of time and resources to craft the item,but they sell for insane ammonts cause they are vm designs and you can get away with that and put a hefty price tag cause some one will buy it.Yesterday I so imperator designs go for 7 gold cause players don't realise they are not worth much but want loads of profit.
    Dragons are rng crit they are not pasive skill, I had a rental one on EU server and they have a 25% chance of activating that extra crit.

    I don't know why y'all are talking this much. The 70k(currently 90-150k) dragons on EU don't have any of the passive skills. The dragons with the passive skills start at 600k. It also kind of looks like the speed aura and the Ruler of dragons passive(i assume that's the crit power one) are not a combo-deal(a single dragon will have one or the other). This is what the cheap dragon looks like:

    No one asks or buys and the price is up to the sky.
    I know a certain dude that was selling ~1500 lilith's tresure for 850g a pice, when the regular price was 250g,he had the same number of lilith's tresure 1.5 months later cause no one would buy them from him.
    Supply and demand is an excuse to put a price tag on something.
    Would you buy a Noble Moonlight if I sold it for 900k g?despite you won't be able to get that monut unless u pay real cash.

    That'd be the "demand" part of "supply and demand".

    Not unless a) it's something I feel I can't live without and b) your price is literally my only option if I don't feel like subjecting myself to the mercy of RNG. Incidentally, that's exactly how economics works (in an extremely bare-bones sense).

    High supply, low demand = lower prices since there's a surplus and now people are trying to get rid of that item. Direct competition and all that. Example: Moonlight and Jadeheart mounts
    Low supply, high demand = higher prices because there's no other option and, as such, goes unchecked. Example: royal/fury dragons and "fresh" premium costumes

    If you prefer a real-world example, just look at Radeon GPUs during the huge bitcoin mining craze back in 2014 or so. Prices skyrocketed because the stores couldn't keep up with demand. It wasn't until a combination of 1) Radeon and the assorted aftermarket companies were able to increase production and 2) Radeon themselves said "Hey, knock that [filtered] off!" that prices became more reasonable. Since the broker is almost entirely player-driven, there's nothing stopping someone from selling, say, a Blitz mount for an upwards of 1mil gold. Will it sell? Most likely no, due to the lack of demand for such a mount and the price tag attached to it.

    Royal/Fury dragons are highly coveted by assorted players for assorted reasons. And because they're so hard to get by traditional means, the people fortunate enough to have an extra that they can list on the broker are gonna charge out the [filtered] partly for that reason alone (the other being... come on, who's going to stop them?).

    Long and short: At the risk of sounding demeaning, I think you're pretty naive to expect something like a Royal/Fury dragon to be listed in the broker at a (relatively) cheap price.

    400k not expensive
  • 5H96Y49G6D5H96Y49G6D ✭✭✭
    The issue is apart from combat everything in this game boring.

    Prior pvp revamp ppl were making 20k a day just by dailies on alts....not fun
