The Real World Costs Of Wynncraft

An interesting question i got quite a while ago is "What is the real world cost of a Wynncraft emerald?"
I actually calculated this a long time ago, but now ive decided to take it a step further.

So the system i used to calculate the cost of one Wynncraft emerald was using Katoa Ranch and it's Bucket Merchant. My idea was to take the average cost of a gallon of milk and compare it to the cost of a bucket of milk in Wynncraft. This came out to be $0.62 USD per emerald.

Using this, the real world cost of each Wynn currency is as follows:

1 Emerald = $0.62
1 Emerald Block = $39.68
1 Liquid Emerald = $2,539.52
1 Stack Of Liquid Emeralds = $162,529.28

I really dont think the system i used was very good. I think there were plenty of other items that could calculate the cost of a emerald far better, but this is what i got.

Using this, i decided to see what a couple of Wynn items cost irl.

A chipped leather hat, the cheapest piece of armor in the game, would cost $1.86.

A chestplate from Nemract entirely made out of gold, would cost $22.32. This doesnt make a lot of sense because a chestplate made out of iron from Nesaak instead, costs $119.

This next one makes even less sense, a gold chestplate costs $22, an iron one $119, and now a Nodguj Warrior Chestplate, made of chainmail, is far more expensive at $4,444.

Let's skip ahead quite a bit.

A Skyfloat from Ahmsord, made entirely out of DIAMOND, costs cheaper than chainmail. At $3,173.

A brown horse costs $952.32,
A black horse costs $5,079.04
A chestnut horse costs $40,632.32
A white horse costs a whopping $302,202.88

A Seasail ticket from Nemract to Llevingar, a trip across the ocean, costs $26.04. Which is a pretty good deal when you consider a trip across the Atlantic from the USA to the UK can cost between $1,000 to $4,000.

A godly Cataclysm can cost $2,925,527.04. So just know that if you own a good Cata you are a millionare.

A Warp can cost a truly ridiculous $3,413,114.88. So if you own a Warp just know that you could afford 12 Lamborghini Huracan RWD Coupes. So you can choose between 12 Lamborghinis or a big glowy stick that makes you walk fast.

Now here's the part everybody wants to really know, how much does a Strati cost? $5,688,524.8
There you have it folks, if you have a big bow that makes you walk fast, you are a Wynncraft Multi-Millionare.

Here's a fun thing you can do, pull this guide up and go to your bank in-game and calculate your total life savings. I myself am sitting at a comfortable $200,622.08. Not poor, but certainly not a multi-millionare like those that own a purple shirt or a fast walky bow. Feel free to tell me if i messed up anything, i want this to be as accurate as possible.

Then again, this is all based off the price of a bucket of milk.

 

The things aren't made of gold, iron, diamond etc. It's just to represent the level range. They were going to do armor skins, but they cancelled the project because it was too much work or too laggy I think.

 

yeah i know but still it uses the gold, iron, chainmail, diamond armor textures so i just count them as made of those materials.

 

why

wouldn't the realistic prices be of the actual items, not just the game's placeholder things

or are you just lazy

 

Hmmm

Uh, so its made of leather.

 

im lazy

yeah guys im wrong i am aware i did this for the price of the emeralds

 

What, you don’t eat soup out of leather bowls? How else are you gonna get that bovine taste to permeate everything you eat?

 

BUT H E Y ! That's just a theory! A WynnTheory! (kill me)

 

Well, the normal items have their material in their name, so I guess you could say at least some level 20 items are made of gold for example. As for the materials the items are canonically made of, I think you can possibly get somewhere by using the crafting materials in-game. For instance, I think it's reasonable to assume that many level 90 items are made of molten ingots, as they originate in the molten heights. Of course that wouldn't really be accurate a lot of the time, because obviously not all level 70 armour comes from the Kander forest.

 

oh hey ive been actually thinking of this subject as well but from a bit different viewpoint

if you think of consistent moneymaking methods (no player interaction required) on wynn i think seavale reef stands out as a "minimum wage job" with its fairly steady income rates and low entry requirements
if we calculate that minimum wage from this thread, the lowest legal salary comes to 80EB/hour.

with this, we can translate 1le 16eb into a real-life salary. the issue with this is the variation by work law
here in Finland, there isnt a clearly set minimum-wage, but the smallest salary our social insurance institution still counts as a salary is 6.82€/h (source, in Finnish)

with this janky translation system, we can give 1le the value of 5,47€, or $5.94USD for the american readers
this makes a stack of le worth $380USD, which is at least a bit more realistic than what OP's system reached, but still astronomically high considering other moneymaking methods and pre-existing currency

 

you have no idea how close i was to putting this at the end of the post

 

Remember that whenever you kill a mob and get loot from it, you just looted their corpse.

Also keep in mind that it's like under 5km from llevigar to Nemract

 

1 block is equal to one cubic meter. Placing a bucket of water places roughly 87.5cm(height) x 100cm(width) x 100cm(length) (as the water goes nearly to the top of the block, and is off by 2 pixels) of water. This would equate to 875 liters, or 231.151 gallons. As the sprites for the water bucket and the milk bucket are the same just with a different color for the liquid I think it is safe to say that both of these things are the same in gallon count. Therefore your theory is wrong, as one bucket of milk does not equal 1 gallon, rather it equals 231.151 gallons.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Few years later: I'm getting paid 0.1€/h

 

Notice that Wynncraft is also a different world.
Perhaps gold isn't as rare?

 

I mean emeralds literally drop like candy so yeah it’s kind of safe to assume gold is less rare there

 

But hey, that’s just a theory .. a Wynn theory, thanks for watching reading
