Watching the kro
market won't necessarily be useful. There are too many differences in both mentality, economy and such. For example, unlike iRO they never had the heavy influx of slotted middle gear from the slotted sunnies event.
However watching the kro
changes will be useful. Take the change in the game, figure it compared to how iro is, and anticipate the shifts.
One example coming to mind is the socket npc. The ability to add slots to storebought equipment will lower the need to hunt the items, and instead you just dc them from an npc. This in turn would make slotted varients much more easier to come by. That means it's easier to overupgrade, since the supply of the gear will be higher, dropping those prices as well. But that means elunium will be in higher demand.
Side effects:
slotted gear price will go down. some marginally (slotted chainmail), some drastically (slotted thief cloth)
cards demand will slightly increase as people go for better gear now that it's cheaper. some cards demand will really increase (firelock, ninetail, the future orc baby) as +9 gear is much more attainable
elu prices should rise as now anyone could try for +9/+10 gear, making a large demand on it, provided GMs actually ban bots instead of token efforts
Sooo...you'd want to clear out your stock of overupgraded items before that patch hits and they devalue. You'd want a ready supply of elu to either play along or to sell once the intial elu stockpiles dwindle. You might also want to hold off, once that patch draws near, on purchasing overupgraded armours. Mocking garments would also lose value, as ninetails is better and lacks the ghost weakness (not good in biolabs against the mage), as would verits (compared to firelocks).
's just an easy one to see coming.
