Is anyone else noticing that the frequency and value of prizes from the BD has diminished significantly since today's update?

I thought my friend was just having bad luck earlier when he kept getting bad prizes, but you're probably right

I got nothing all day, just NP. Hopefully this is a bug, otherwise Codestones will become insanely expensive very, very soon.

I got no prizes today. It could be a glitch, it could be that they're taking prizes out for now while they're trying to get Aethia up and running...

 

...or they could be taking them away permanently.

 

Seems like a lot of people have noticed...the prices of the red codestones have skyrocketed. Weren't some of these 6k a few days ago? Now the cheapest are 17k.

So glad I have a massive stock of red codestones.

Darn, wish I'd waited to sell mine. Yeah, I too got nothing but neopoints today - wonder what THAT'S about. I'm gonna have to keep KQ'ing to supplement my codestone supply, can't skip it when I don't feel like it now.

Ugh, I noticed this last night. Out of what seemed like 40 battles, I got two junk books and a plushie. :| I am not impressesed, TNT. I figured they added the codestones to the BD to FIGHT inflation because of the plot!

Same here. I was saving them for myself, but if they inflate like a maniac over the plot might be better to sell them for now. I'm not level 250 for a while anyway.

I noticed this too.. Oh no! I really wish the prizes would return so I could stock on codestones again...

This would definitely explain why my shop was cleaned out of codestones this morning xD

Well, I went from level 200 to 250 in January training at eight codestones a throw. I have 92 redcodestones, not nearly enough to train to where I want I be. It is also strange, because the new abilities do not kick in until you have a level 300, 400 or 500 pet, so there is even more need to train level than in the past.

 

Negg inflation will start in a few days, as armoured neggs again become the cheapest way to train defense.

Normally I cap the prizes before I cap the NP limit. Today I received only 3 junk items before capping the NP limit. I really hope this is only temporary.

I'll betcha they froze the battledome prizes in anticipation of the war starting tomorrow and the release of plot specific prizes. Wouldn't want any leaking through early and giving away anything, eh?

I too noticed this! )': I usually sell the red ones I get daily from the BD, to fund for regular codestones to train.

I stopped battling as soon as I noticed..

Oh, that would be LOVELY if that's true, because that would mean it's not a permanent thing.

 

It's crazy how fast the inflation has happened for the red codestones...yet the regular codestones are about the same. I guess people are still getting them from KeyQuest. I need to learn how to play KeyQuest, apparently.

Prizes seem to be back to normal now. I've gotten a couple of codestones from my past few battles.

 

And it seems you can win faeries now too. I just won an Unidentifiable Weak Bottled Faerie.

Well, then, I feel pretty foolish. In a panic, I bought ten of each red codestone. Now that people are getting them as prizes again, they're down to half the price.

I don't know about other people, but I haven't recieved as many codestones as normal- just four total, rather than the 7+ that is common for me. So they may end up rising in price again if the same goes for everyone else.

I got 8 codestones and 3 bottled weak faeries today. I'd say it's on and poppin' in the battledome!

Well, even if I'm not getting prizes, I'm glad other people are...means deflation. Wooo.

 

I did just get fried eggs on toast, but nothing exciting, sadly. No faeries for me these past twenty battles.

You weren't the only one. I only bought five of each, but still.

This is a total n00b question, I know, but what are the np and/or prize caps in the dome? I'm just now starting to learn it because of the plot...

The np cap is low, a few K not sure how many. Item cap is 15 :)

The NP cap is 1500NP. :) You will get more NP from each battle if you battle an opponent on a higher difficulty than a lower one, but there is the same cap regardless.

I've gotten 3 red codestones today and 3 regular ones playing Chia Clown on hard.. lol
