It seems to be going down, but since it's only got two generations, does that mean the price will rise? Mercury's Moon did, so I was wondering. Sell now or hold on to?

Cant really make a comparison between Merc moon and apprentice charm. The apprentice charm is a cash item and M.M is a rig item.

Ah ok. But still, opinions on it?

Well ive still got 5 i got for 300k or higher so im holding out until they raise again. The question you need to ask yourself is, do i need gold to invest in something else? If yes sell, if no then keep and hope they raise.

    Just curious about a few things:

    1) How'd you come to the conclusion that less generations = price rise?
    2) What connection did you make between Mercury's Moon and Apprentice Charm?

    I just wanna see if you had a logical reason behind your assumptions or not.

    And the generic infodump:

    You're not considering what type of item the Apprentice Charm is. REIs just do not make good long-term investments; the way they're released, the way they evolve and the amount of time they stay in the Cash Shop... none of those factors do this item class any favours.

    The price will continue to drop until they're taken out of the Cash Shop. Do not expect it to rise any time in the next few months; it'll probably hit a low of about 180k soon enough.

So, if I wanted to buy one for keeps I should wait a little longer?

    I won't say yes, but it's obviously the smart decision.

RIGs are those games Gaia sells, like Cirque du Gothique and Hell Prison. They're quite popular.

AI is an abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence. Programs that can make decisions, sometimes limited ones, on its own. Usually, on Gaia, people talk about bots with this feature. Bots are AIs, just like online robots. Therefore, 'Bot'.

Maybe actually checking out the wonderful guides that the guild offers would clear up any concerns you may have. For more information on rigs, you can see read this guide.

Also, AI, in terms of the marketplace, is an abbreviation that refers to Artificial Inflation. Quoting from the Rags to Riches guide:

Quote:
Artificial inflation can occur many ways. Some intentionally, and others unintentionally.

Ultimately AI (Artificial Inflation) occurs when the price of an item in the Marketplace is significantly higher than the average buy price -WITHOUT- justification. Just because an item jumps in price does not automatically mean it is AI (Correlation does not imply causation).

Basically, it is when "a single person or group of people buying out most of the items of one kind and reselling them at a higher price."
Normally doesn't go too well in the long run and I nor Investing Elite advocate it.
