predictions for the future...

Its obvious that there will be thousands of brood locks. If it is like this every single event, then no one will even bother opening... what is the point if items no longer hold value? This is a giant mistake STS. Everything was fine with them only being craftable during event.

Although I preferred how it was before the Halloween event, I think you're exaggerating the effect of this decision quite a bit. Eventually, brood locks will either match or exceed the price of rengol massives. The smart players will buy broods while they are cheap. The same will be true for future event massive crates, as long as they have a worthy loot table.

I cannot forsee brood locks going above 60k in the long term. With the amount of recipes ingame, they will crash due to no one wanting to open them because the market will be flooded with the items from them.

There is one item in the loot table that you are overlooking.

Recipe isn't stashable...people are lazy, how many of these recipes will actually turn into locked considering you can only craft on your char and not any alts.

**kiwotsukete** · 01-09-2016, 02:47 PM

Rengol locks are stashable... people usually run event with 2-3 twinks including their mains.

Ren'gol are stashable ,however I've noticed the drop rate has declined over the last few months imo. Regardless of broods and every other valuable item prices go up they fall its called an economy .

The amount of brood recipes ingame will hurt the eco. Should have never been 10 tokens per recipe if they let it be crafted after event end.

If only we had a similar situation to compare to. Oh, spider crates. I forgot. They are still hovering around 40k, right?

@OP

Solution:

Well, keeping the Brood Locked recipes non-stashable and non-transferable as they are now is an option. If they are only made craftable, and they remain non-stashable/nontransf, then the pace of crafting the Brood Lockeds with our 5 slots will be slower unless anybody uses platinum to speed up the crafting. Also, the market will NOT flood with Brood Lockeds suddenly because of this slow pace of crafting, which will keep prices stable for a long time.

Lets hope that sts does not change the non-trans/non-stash nature of the brood recipes.

^^ This guy has a good point.... Any other input?

The prices are still dropping drastically... For about 20 mins the price of rengol's held at 9k... Was holding at 13k~ for a long time, before this re-craftable recipe came about..
