Media Wynncraft Theory - How Much Does An Le Actually Cost?

Welcome everyone, to a theory based more on a "back to the roots" style of the old WynnTheories. This is made due to the arguing over the current theories, so I decided that we should all share a simple, non-controversial (hopefully) topic. Theories like this have been made before in the past, yet nothing of this sort is apparent after 9/7 to my knowledge. So without further ado, let's get to it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

So as many of you know, the Emerald is a base currency of Wynn. But how much does a single emerald cost in reality? To look at this we need to determine the following things:
-Color
-Clarity
-Cut
-Carat
(Represented in order from most important to least important)

Color - The most precious emeralds are tinted with blueish-green to pure green. As we see with the emerald in Wynncraft, it is the ladder. This means the emerald is a very high percent pure and has next to no traces of iron or other minerals in it, rising its price up shockingly.

Clarity - This is the most confusing topic of the 4. Since the emerald has no visible traces of other minerals or fissures in it, it could be considered Type III. Since there is no way to truly tell if it is Type III or flawless as microscopes haven't been invented yet, and the fact its just pixels: I'm going to assume its a Type III.

Cut - There isn't much to say about this. Emeralds aren't cut in hexagon shapes, but instead prefer "emerald cuts" or "pear cuts." I'm going to assume it's closer to a emerald cut put diagonally for this.

Carat - Since the player is about 2 meters and averages around 31-ish pixels (may be wrong) and the emerald is about 8 pixels compared to the player. This averages out to 3.87 of a meter, which I will simplify to about 1/4. That means an emerald is about 25cm. 1 carat roughly translates to 7mm, since an emerald is 25cm, that means a single emerald is 35.71 (shortening to 36) carats. Since it is a type III clarity, pure green, emerald-cut: 1 carat is going to be around 6,000 dollars for the sake of simplicity. That means 6,000 x 35 is 21,0000$. That's a lotta money.

Now that we have the basic estimated price for an emerald, how much is an LE?
First we have to get from 1 emerald to 1 EB, so that's 21,000x64 which is 13,440,000$
That's not enough though! Now we need to get from 1 EB to 1 LE which is 13,440,000x64 which totals up to a whopping: 860,160,000$

In no way is this a perfect theory, and some of it may be just wrong. But the point isn't to be right, it's to have fun and be a part of the community. So, if you have a better idea of how it's priced then this estimate, please tell me.

Spoiler: TL;DR

It's a lot of money

 

If only I could make all of my LE go into reality... I could ruin the economy that way.

 

k, that's nice.

 

I think it's about 4096 emeralds.

 

*Calls some scientists*
Soo, as I was saying, could you make a way to turn ingame things real-life? I'll pay the debt later, I promise!

 

Welp, now I need more theories. ON TO THE DRAWING BOARD!

 

I think the question we should be asking here though is: Can we really convert a liquid emerald into U.S currsncy? What if the process in which the villagers use to convert 64 emeralds into a block, and 64 blocks into a liquid emerald reduces the currency.

________________________________

Would also like to talk about this part. Now, I haven't dons a lot of research on carats, but if you search up the definition of a carat it is:"A unit of weight for precious stones and pearls, now equivalent to 200 milligrams." Now, when you find the carat of the emerald, you talk about 1 carat being about 7mm; could you explain how you got this?

________________________________

OK, I'm going on a bit of a rant here, but did you mean to type 3.87? Because last time I checked, 3.87 is not equal to 1/4.

________________________________

Here's another thing, I did some more research, and I figured out that 7mm is actually .7 carats if we are talking about pear shaped emeralds. However, I feel that the emeralds, resemble more of a marquise shape, in which case a 7mm marquise emerald, asumming the height is 7mm and the width is approx. 3.5mm (width and height can be switched), then it would be .45 carats.

________________________________

I ended up doing even more research, and I have concluded that a 9x8mm type III, pure green is about 5,000 per carat. Now,9•8= 72 and 7•3.5=24.5. Now 24.5 ÷ 72 is about 0.34. O.34 • 5000 is about 1,700. So if we use the reasoning above for a marquise emerald, a 7x3.5 emerald would be about 16 carats. So 16•1,700=27,200 U.S dollars per emerald. So (27,200•64)•64=$111,411,200 per liquid emerald.

 

First off, carats are different depending on the gem and cut, for emerald cuts 1 carat is equal to about 7mm.

Second, 3.87 of a meter that means it 1/3.87, not 3.87/1

I'm not talking about pear shaped emeralds. And I stated as it has no actual cut in the game, I went with a Emerald Cut held sideways. To be honest I cant argue with this one since the cut of the gem is still up to debate and isn't really clear.

 

K, so too address all of this, First I realize that carats are different based on gem and cut. For my calculations I used an emerald cut in a marquise shape, which I thought most closely resembeled the emerald in game. Which meant .45 carats was 7mm. On to the next point, I was doing this at 2 in the morning, so that was my fault and I must have read over the meter part.

 

Its alright, hell if I knew it could be a marquise cut. And the meter part I kinda worded badly, so its easy to get confused.

(You dont want to know how many times I confused it with 3.87 meters while calculating this)

 

Wouldn't 3.87 be closer to 2/4?

 

wynn emeralds are worth nothing compared to a single green rupee this video explains how much a single green rupee from the legend of zelda is worth. Now that can ruin the world economy.

 

Now a green rupee from legend of Zelda might be able to ruin the economy, green rupees don't exist in wynn

 

Le is worth 64 emerald blocks

#smartassalert​

 

What if the Item Buyers buy items for their actual worth, and when we sell items for LE we're massively overpricing them?

Who's the greedy ones now?

 

What? Fish did his math correctly. I don't understand why you felt the need to state this.

 

potato is worth about 3 emeralds and they have a lot of it ( Olux storage for example)

VIVA LA POTATO

 

oh wow, I haven't seen this theory before...

 

Nice version of the Diamond Armor Game Theory m8.

 

Umm, I'm sorry, but where exactly does it state the effectiveness of an armor version of emeralds? Nowhere? Huh thats funny -.-
