MysteriousUser Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I deeply regret not hoarding a larger collection of codestones. Coming back to this soar in prices is kind of a kick in the head. And this plot hasn't even started yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orn 5k (Huge hoard here) Tai-Kai 5.2k Bri 4.5k Mau 4k Main 3.9k Total: 79.3k Today I interrupt this post with bad news...Codestones are soaring after enduring a two day slide. Vo continues its unrelenting price increases and threatens Lu for the throne of the most expensive codestone. 5:12 AM NST Feb. 25, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummydumpty Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 @rockyroad1: I love that you're updating us for the prices! I'm still debating what to do with mine. The profit is really tempting, but I also use them for my own pet's training, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting lucky though and snagging lots of codestones from KQ and the BD. :) Some of them go to training, others go into my shop.. I really don't know what to do with mine either. haha.

Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 News Flash! Vo Codestone has broken the 15k mark. Lu and Vo codestones are now even in price. Will post complete price update in 5 hours. Price Check: Lu 15k Vo 15k Eo 12k Zei 9.9k Har 6k Tai-Kai 5.4k Orn 5k Bri 4.5k Mau 3.9k Main 3.85k Total: 80.55k Prices of the Top 4 most expensive codestones are steadily rising except for Eo. Tai-Kai also rose in price and the rest unchanged or fell in price. Vo increased 1000 NP in a day! 5:40 AM NST 2/26/13 ~Xandria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks so much for keeping us all updated Rocky. It sucks because of my pets low stats I have no choice but to train with codestones right now. ): At least they give them back in the BD though so I don't feel I'm losing too much. I wish they would stop rising already though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've been battling and KQ every day and I sock every single one I win into my SDB, because I really really don't want to pay the inflated price gougers' prices for those codestones. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomancer Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yeah I really noticed the prices this time. If you have a bad run in the Battledome and don't get the stones you need, you'll be paying through the nose. No more training for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have not been getting faeries or codestones through fighting anymore. You have to fight on Hard against Neocola Center opponents to get those, right? All I've been getting is food. No wonder they are inflating. I'm thinking I should hold off training, but I don't want to waste the reduced time cookie I have going right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still give out a decent amount of codestones and faeries. I think the cap is malfunctioning. I got 21 items today.

dummydumpty Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Sounds stable. I wonder if they'll keep shooting up in price or if they have reached their highest now. I decided to keep everything since I need them. I think they raised the item cap on purpose (to 20-21), especially since it gives NC items.

The NC items don't count to the item limit. Anyway, here's the price check: Price Check: Vo 14.9k Lu 14.7k Eo 13.9k (Ignore the estimate for yesterday) Zei 9.8k Har 6k Tai-Kai 5.5k Orn 5k Bri 4.45k Mau 3.75k Main 3.8k Total: 81.8k Quite a few people are selling their hoards. It's Eo's turn to empty the pockets of Neopians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got 1 codestone, but I got a few Neggs (even though they were not worth tokens, boo), and I got two Weak Bottled Light Faeries. :) I hope I'm as lucky with prizes tomorrow!

Welcome Back Apathy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I definitely got a lot of codestones and faeries today from the battles. It was nice, because I only got two faeries during the entire time the Battledome started giving them out...and then today, I got three. Here's a tip for people, regarding codestone prices and price gougers. A lot of people are buying the cheapest codestones and selling them more expensive. If you don't want someone doing that to the codestones YOU sell...hang out with your team on the neoboards. Make trades with people on your team for the prices they are worth. That way, at least you know you're helping someone on your side, not just helping a greedy Neopian trying to reach a monopoly. You are also likely to find codestone trades with your team, and cheaper codestones. Give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essiw Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 ^It might be because of the hoarders though, selling them all at once when the war started. I guess I keep mine till they rise again, or till I can use them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I keep mine till they rise again, or till I can use them myself. Not really. Those constantly selling, like happy_training_shop, lezbepalz, quqire, bergsice, ikittyxd and others seems to have fallen behind. I see many codestones in small shops (combined). Price Check: Vo 11k Lu 13.5k Eo 11.9k Zei 7.45k Har 4.8k Tai-Kai 4.5k Orn 4.7k Bri 4k Mau 3.45k Main 3.5k Total: 68.8k (DOWN 2k or almost 3% in a little less than 3 HOURS) The hemorrhage of codestone prices, which is more exciting than the war right now, is still going on but selective buying is starting to appear in Bri, Main and Vo. 1:25 AM NST March 1, 2013 I'm going to buy up codestones when prices go below 60k per set, which I believe, is entirely possible. (Not anymore!) Quick Update: Vo rose 1k, Eo rose 2k, Lu fell 0.7k, Zei rose 0.1k, Mau rose 0.2k, Main rose 0.1k, Orn rose 0.25k and the rest are steady. Full update in an hour. hakasugu updated his selling prices. 4:20 AM NST March 1, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm guessing the decline comes from more people battling. The war challengers are giving out a lot of codestones. Or it could be as essiw said, that random people who were hoarding a small amount of codestones decided to sell when the war started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannah Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Really, the war challengers are giving out codestones? I didn't get any prizes except for Tyrannian junk (sorry Tyrannia) yesterday and today so I was already very worried about codestone prices.

Rune Valentine Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The challengers give out prizes like the BD normall would, randomly with a chance of codestones. I've gotten 4 so far today, which isn't too shabby. And it makes sense that with the plot, people who normally wouldn't battle are getting into the BD and earning codestones, which seems the likely reason for codestone prices significantly dropping.

Also, since challengers are still easy, even people who didn't train at all still wins codestones. Price Check: Vo 12.4k Lu 12.5k Eo 13.9k Zei 7.7k Har 5k Tai-Kai 4.2k Orn 4.9k Bri 3.9k Mau 3.65k Main 3.4k Total: 71.55k (UP 2.75k or 4% in approximately 4.5 HOURS) Consistent codestone sellers have now updated their prices. I think demand will keep the price around here until we get way harder opponents. Question: Why are prices spiking again? I think the prices earlier were too cheap and people bought it, considering those prices are low for a full war plot. Update: 9:10 PM NST March 1, 2013 Price Check: Vo 10.15k Lu 10.35k Eo 11k Zei 5.9k Har 4.4k Tai-Kai 3.9k Orn 4.7k Bri 3.1k Mau 3.35k Main 3.3k Total: 60.1k (DOWN 11.4k or 16% in approximately 15 HOURS) IT"S A BUYERS' MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: Is anyone here? Price Check: Vo 9.7k Lu 10k Eo 11.8k Zei 6k Har 4.4k Tai-Kai 3.9k Orn 4.7k Bri 3.5k Mau 3.35k Main 3.3k Total: 60.65k (Up 0.55k or 0.92% in 8.35 hours) I think prices will move down to 55k and stabilize for a while. These prices are really good for war-time. 5:30 AM NST March 2, 2013 General Technology 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aycis Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Lol.. I remember these being 7-9k each before. :| Long time ago though XD ^ and that's pretty interesting info. I actually find that codestones are a lot easier to find now, specially since they're being given out by the obelisk challengers ;o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plotinus_theos Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 ... Edit: Is anyone here? ... I am!

Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Price Check: Vo 9.95k Lu 10.45k Eo 10.25k Zei 6k Har 4.4k Tai-Kai 4.35k Orn 4.3k Bri 3.7k Mau 3.3k Main 3.3k Total: 60k (Down 0.65k or 1.07% in 15.5 hours) As predicted, prices have stabilized, albeit higher than forecast. Eo prices have really dropped because justgoon23 lowered the price of his monster hoard (800+) to 10.25k apiece. I really need the replies, as I can't edit my post forever. I have posted the prices in my siggy in case anyone needs it. dummydumpty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
