A Few Questions About The Economy

I don't know much about the Wynn economy, and i have a few questions that i would like answered to avoid getting scammed.

1. Since lootbonus now affects chests, does this mean that items like Emerald Staff will see an increase in price?

2. Since relics have been removed, does this mean high tier powders will see an increase in price?

3. Do item prices get raised to compensate for the seemingly endless influx of new emeralds , or do item prices generally stay the same regardless of inflation?

 

1. Likely, as the nature of economies is to value things that bring wealth, although I can't say it will be seeing a large increase in price.
2. Again, likely, although not a great increase.
3. As the nature of MMO economies are, yes, the prices to inflate infinitely. Here is a good video by Extra Credits. I would also encourage watching their other videos on how MMO economies work to get a better grip on things as well.

 

1: Yes it does. If fact, I saw a max Diamond Dust (A loot bonus chest) go for 30 LE, even though it is a rare item.

2: Not significantly, since powders don't have a lot of demand, and are easy to find through grinding and dungeon drops

3: Yes it does, and unless some sort of possession control is put into place, or items are stolen out of people's inventories (not likely) it will stay this way. Prices also change dramatically to respond with demand. Such as a new endgame build being created, or what I said in question 1.
