On Wednesday, September 30, SOL: enchant (hereinafter SOL) adjusted the difficulty and Nine rewards for certain hunting grounds in the Calteon region and added new Collection entries utilizing Normal and Uncommon equipment. Along with this, players can now obtain Heroic and Legendary Equipment Selection Chest Shards in higher-tier hunting grounds, and the Unstable Nine Core event has also begun. Following this update, which brought changes to both hunting ground rewards and equipment usage, we examined exchange market prices centered around the streamer worlds, Calteon and Lindel.
What Are the World Exchange and Nine Core Prices?
First, we checked Nine Core prices. Calteon dropped from 19.17 Diamonds last week to 14.4 Diamonds, while Lindel fell from 21.49 Diamonds to 12.86 Diamonds. Lindel in particular plummeted by about 40% in a single week, reversing the price dynamic between the two worlds where Lindel had previously been more expensive than Calteon.
Although the required level for crafting Nine Cores was raised last week, it did not lead to a price rebound. This time, Nine drops in certain high-tier fields were increased, and Unstable Nine Cores—which grant 1,000,000 Nine upon use—were also introduced. As additional sources for obtaining Nine have expanded without a corresponding increase in sink mechanics, the depressed market prices are expected to persist.
In Calteon, the Legendary Skill Book Ancient Grimoire (Meteor Strike) was listed for 700,000 Diamonds. In Lindel, it remained listed at 590,000 Diamonds—the same as last week—showing an 110,000-Diamond gap in asking prices between the two worlds. With listings now confirmed in Calteon following Lindel, attention is focused on which Inheritor will eventually learn the skill.
Highly enhanced Heroic armor pieces have also surfaced. In Calteon, +7 Joachim's Gauntlets were listed at 100,000 Diamonds, while in Lindel, +7 Joachim's Helmet was listed at 49,000 Diamonds. Following the maximum-enhancement belt spotted last week, armor pieces with high enhancement levels are now appearing on the market.
Normal Scrolls Rise, While Divine and Cursed Scrolls Fall
Normal Equipment Enhancement Scrolls rose from an average of 2.48 Diamonds last week to 2.94 Diamonds. This contrasts with the drop in price seen when Heroic equipment collections were previously added. This time, the addition of relatively accessible Normal and Uncommon equipment collections appears to have driven up demand for enhancement scrolls to complete those collections.
Conversely, Divine Scrolls dropped from an average of 95.22 Diamonds to 87.9 Diamonds, while Cursed Scrolls fell from 526.5 Diamonds to 387.7 Diamonds. On Calteon 5 in particular, Cursed Scrolls experienced a steep drop from 890 Diamonds last week to 350 Diamonds. Accessory Enhancement Scrolls also saw a decline in average price, though server-by-server variations were present, with prices actually rising on Calteon 2 and Calteon 4.
Tower of God Teleport Scrolls Turn Downward
Tower of God Floor 3 Teleport Scrolls, which had been rising for several weeks, fell from an average of 162.3 Diamonds to 133.03 Diamonds this week. Teleport scrolls for Floor 1 and Floor 2 also declined in price on most servers, with Floor 2 Teleport Scrolls dropping nearly by half from an average of 13.18 Diamonds to 6.94 Diamonds.
However, Floor 3 Teleport Scrolls defied the trend on certain servers. On Calteon 3, prices surged from 119 Diamonds last week to 216.67 Diamonds, and Calteon 5 also saw a slight increase. Aside from the overall downward trend, prices remain high in some places depending on demand from players utilizing Floor 3 and server-specific supply.
Weathered Relics saw price drops across all monitored servers. The average market price plummeted from 2.75 Diamonds last week to 1 Diamond. The sharp decline appears to be driven by a significant surge in supply due to the Sky Island Double Nine Event.
Double Nine Event Ends: How Are Sky Island Recharge Stone Prices?
Among Time Recharge Stones, Sky Island Recharge Stones saw the sharpest decline. Their average price dropped from 175.28 Diamonds last week to 97.95 Diamonds, with all 10 monitored servers experiencing a drop of over 10% compared to the previous week. Prices that had spiked due to last week's Double Nine Gain Event appear to be normalizing.
Tower of God Time Recharge Stones also saw price decreases on most servers. Conversely, Hellfire Crusade Time Recharge Stones showed a slight increase in average price, driven by gains on servers such as Calteon 4 and Lindel 5. Outside of Sky Island, recharge stones for other dungeons are seeing mixed price movements depending on server usage. On several servers in particular, certain players appear to be monopolizing listings, leading to shortages on the exchange market.
Normal Materials Rise, While Advanced Materials Plunge
Crafting material prices moved in the opposite direction of last week's trend. Normal Iron rose from an average of 0.08 Diamonds to 0.25 Diamonds, while Normal Gems increased from 0.06 Diamonds to 0.22 Diamonds. Prices for both items rose across all streamer servers, alongside gains in Intermediate Iron, Leather, and Gems.
Similar to Normal Enhancement Scrolls, the addition of new collections appears to have impacted demand for crafting materials. However, trends varied even within the same tier, as Intermediate Wood actually saw a drop in average price.
Advanced materials, which had rebounded last week, fell rapidly. Advanced Iron dropped from an average of 18.98 Diamonds to 7.6 Diamonds, while Advanced Gems fell from 24.48 Diamonds to 7.87 Diamonds. Advanced Leather also dropped to less than half of last week's price, suffering a far larger decline than its previous gain.
With the Moonviewing Field event extended, prolonging the supply of Advanced Material Selection Chests, Inheritors who have not yet finished crafting gear or completing collections that require Advanced Materials would do well to take advantage of this opportunity.
