Yay for Class Reunion, Nay for Codestone Inflation

[Aquamentis12]

So, Saturday was my HS reunion. It was a fairly small turnout, only about 21 or so of us were able to make it this time. Not counting spouses and children who were not a part of our graduating class. lol

But it was fun! There was a 50% chance of rain, but none fell! After a few hours, those of us still around went to this local Brew Pub to continue visiting and catching up. I just got a soda there, I don't drink.  

In the end, there were 6 of us when the place closed and they "kicked" us out. lol I'm a little surprised, 10pm on a Saturday night? LOL Lame. lol

Anyway, got home, was sore from doing so much standing, but otherwise had a really good day/evening!

As for codestone inflation, It's INSANE, the plot hasn't even restarted yet! Even if I get SOME red stones from daily battles, it's still costing me between 100,000-200,000np per training session! Ridiculous! Then I see some user shops with hundreds, if not 1000+ red stones in their shops at EXORBITANT prices! Noticed a SLIGHT drop in Zeds today when I was getting one for my current training session, "only" about 48,000np for one. *eyeroll* Glad I trained as much as I did while they were all much cheaper, but DANG what's with the massive mark-ups over the last month or two?! I wish TNT would increase the drop chances of Red stones in the dome, or limit how many someone can put in their store at one time. HUNDREDS to 1000+?! Absolutely criminal! Buying up so many stones and marking them up so blasted much! Really ticks me off.

I offloaded all my tan codestones (1,000+ of them I had stockpiled) because the plot was just about to resume after a freaking 8 month hiatus.  Once it does, codestones will come back down.  Hopefully they keep the plot open for a while and let things come back down to the better prices.  I miss red codestones at 3,000-5,000 and some tan codestones even under 1,000.

Hi Winthaus! I suppose that's possible, but during the last part of the plot the prices got even higher at some point, 80k for a single Zed Codestone, the rarest of the reds. I'd convert some of my tans into reds, but I keep getting requests for multiple Eo Codestones from the Volcano on Mystery Island, and that's one tan codestone I don't have. I almost never see them from battle rewards either so their drop rate must be pretty low. Though I'm aware that like the Zed is the rarest of the Reds, Eo is the rarest of the original tan codestones. So, I hope you're correct and the prices crash once we can battle our plot opponents again for "extra" items like with the first part of the Void plot.
