Since the beginning of 2023, many economic systems in the game have been adjusted, so that some multi-opening players have been greatly affected. However, with the recent changes like "listening to persuasion", the game economic system has gradually recovered, and many partners have taken advantage of the opportunity of lower prices to return to the ranks of the five open. So, some friends asked us, can the current Fantasy Journey to the West still maintain its value? Next, I will give you an analysis!
1. "Point card" is the anchor point in the economic system of Fantasy Westward Journey
In economics, anchoring refers to people's tendency to associate estimates of the future with estimates that have existed in the past, and if we put this theory in Fantasy Journey to the West, the most common point card is the key anchor point. After all, whether it's a daily quest or a pocket version, as long as you play Fantasy Journey to the West, you can't do without it.
To give a simple example, whether it is a new district number or an old district buying number, the core of its attention is often the elements with "cultivation" attributes such as character level, character cultivation, and character skill potential, and the underlying logic of these elements is actually a cycle of "cultivating characters→ completing tasks→ obtaining benefits→ and cultivating roles".
In this cycle, whether you buy equipment, fight babies, or point skills, what you consume is always fantasy coins, and what is linked to fantasy coins is point cards. In other words, point cards are the underlying logic in this cycle, and anything in Fantasy Journey to the West can be priced with point cards.
2. The pricing of your characters and equipment stems from a consensus of values
In the Fantasy Journey to the West, your characters, equipment, summoned beasts and even brocade clothes have a certain valuation, which is partly based on the price anchor brought by the point card, and partly from the consensus of players and the market on its value. Since the point card itself is also a kind of value consensus, the anchor value generated can also be regarded as the value consensus of players and the market.
For example, if you practice a level 109 full cultivation character, the consensus value of its point card anchoring mainly lies in the value generated by the consumption of point cards, such as character level and character cultivation, and its pricing will change according to the number of finished color corrections, the popularity of the sect, and the timeline.
But if you have a set of blue and white porcelain brocade clothes, your role will add a new value consensus, as long as the blue and white porcelain is still recognized by the market, then it can add character value to the consensus value anchored in the point card, which is why other people's characters can only sell for 2000, and yours can sell 1W7 The key reason. On the other hand, if the difficulty of obtaining the blue and white porcelain brocade clothes of the Fantasy Journey to the West is reduced that day, the value of the characters it brings will change accordingly.
Third, the value preservation attribute is actually the value consensus
Under the influence of point card anchoring and value consensus, many fantasy westward journeys have given birth to the concept of "value preservation attribute".
For example, the biggest difference between never-worn equipment and ordinary equipment is that it does not consume durability, and the reason why low-level, non-grinding equipment with the same attributes is more expensive than ordinary equipment is because the cost of replenishing durability should be considered with ordinary equipment. If you are pursuing a level 100 equipment attribute, then the level 100 non-grinding equipment will indeed not be much more expensive than the level 100 tabula rasa equipment, but if you are pursuing the level 160 equipment attribute, then the level 160 non-grinding equipment will have a huge difference due to the high cost of durability.
Since the environment of Fantasy Journey to the West is constantly changing, the value retention attributes of some items will also be affected by new systems and new skills. For example, the price of the early multi-skill all-red magic pet was quickly eliminated by the market because of the emergence of the Sumeru mantra, and was complained by many players, but after several years of development, the Sumeru mantra has become the standard for mission players, and it has been fluctuating and declining because of the oversupply of demand.
brief summary
The economic system of Fantasy Journey to the West is actually similar to the real world, which will be affected by both value consensus and market stability. To put it simply, there are many people who are willing to "take over", and the price will rise because of the relationship between supply and demand, and the myth of "value preservation and appreciation" will be realized. Therefore, by mastering the value consensus in the Fantasy Journey to the West, you will grasp the key to the preservation of the value of the dream!
