Epith. Economy and Raiding Guilds (as of 8/24/11)

Well after a few days of both Private Messaging people as well as doing my own research (when I wasn't goofing around on my server...)

Here are a few stats that I collected on Epith..

Economy
"this server has wayyyyyyy too expensive gear" - Kazuchi

Town scrolls

• Roumen / Elderine / Sand Hill ------- 15 to 20s

• Uruga ------------------------------------------ 150 to 200s

• Albestrol Ruins ---------------------------- 200 to 250s

Production Items and +9s

 

• T5 Elrues ----------------------------------- 250 to 300s

• T5 Xirs --------------------------------------- 30g

• Karis ----------------------------------------- 400 to 700s

• T3 Scrolls (*excluding speed) ------ 20s

• T5 Scrolls (* ) ----------------------------- 110s

• T4 HP Potions --------------------------- 30 to 40s

• T2 weapon +9 -------------------------- 25-35g (mainly concerning lv 40 and 50 weapons lv 20 and 30 weapons may be lower)

• T3 weapon +9 ---------------------------- 30-50g

now for some surprises in prices.....

• Emberflame +10 claws --- only 50g o-o I was expecting more since the trend of the economy compared to Teva's is higher. In Teva some would sell for over 1gem even at times close to 2 gems yet these are 50gold...

• Warlock Malephar Top very crappy stats (2 dex 9 int....) -- 4gems to buy out of shop... In Teva we sell them for around 60g to a few gems this one would probably go for around 40g maybe.... this of course is for gear oranges are rarely sold in Teva but are usually for around 10+ gems (excluding bows [very few SS], and cleric weapons). The "logical" reason according to an anonymous source in Clubzero is that well simply and quite logically there are "very few male drops" in the server as well as "we need the money." I do agree that raid is a way to keep academies funded (at least in Teva) and maybe a way to spread the wealth among the guild but even then if these things are actually selling in Epith I will have to say that the desperate people in the server are also a part of what is driving the economy higher in this server.

Raiding Guilds

"LOL drama, your on the right server for drama" - Kazuchi

CluBZero

"sp3c[tral] tried to raid [Karen], we warred them" - Anonymous source.

Considerably friendly guild, an anonymous source from inside the guild, explained to me a lot far as the situation in raid and the server as a whole. The academy is active and pays a lot.

Far as History goes, CluBZero used to be a part of WarGodz the guild splintered and broke in half. The original WarGodz people became Imperial guild. Imperial doesn't raid only Clubzero and Sp3ctral.

Sp3cTraL

"Sp3c has been like one of the guilds that prob were here since the server was created if not is one of the top lasting guilds." - Anonymous source.

Cold, silent guild, I guess this is because, according to an anonymous source from Outspark forums says that they are one of the oldest long-lasting guilds. I tried interviewing the master and a few people all of them acted afk-ed or brushed me off, in the case of the master, he was banning academies as I was whispering him if he could answer a few questions for me never saying a single word not even no. The academy is somewhat quiet and pays well.

Raiding

Helgaleshi the Hellgate King (Helga).

I will need to talk to my sources again since CluBZero was raiding helga but I can't tell if they stopped temporarily or if they are still raiding helga.

Malephar the Lord of Darkness and the Harpies.

From what I understood from people I talked to there are two guilds who share malephar and those are CluBZero and Sp3cTraL. The two aren't friendly with each other in the sense of allies or friends but they do have a sort of truce or treaty far as raid goes. 1 whole day (2 raids in a row meaning the 2 12 hour spawns) 1 guild gets to raid malephar and the harpies uninterrupted then the following day the other guild gets to raid it.
