    Since the new plot is out and a war might occur, will there be a codestone(and dubloons) inflation?
    Like myself, everybody is probably training on either mystery island or through lab. But if the price of codestones goes up (right now average is like 3500ish), is it a good idea to buy tons of codestones. Once the price goes up, then sell to make profits?

    People have already bought hundreds, properly deflation will occur before inflation.

    Hmm or not.
    Because codestones can be acchieved with playing keyquest :eek:
    so I do think it will inflate a bit but not that much ;)
    but that's just what i think.
    And i might be very wrong :O XD

    ^Is it worth the time and effort to get codestones this way?

    If your lazy and you have an aber probably not.. unless your cheating in keyquest its probably not possible to get as much np/hour if your oblivious to the risk like me, I can hardly even be bothered putting on my aber's these days though :p

    Codestones tend to be something to buy when a new plot is first discovered (before the plot is actually released). Once everyone knows a new plot is out, the inflation has already happened as everyone that is going to stock up on them has by that point.

    I mean, there shouldn't be that much inflation on Codestones...it's not like the Bonju Avatar which had only a month, and a sudden answer/solution.
    Should stay and bob around their original mark.

    Codestones will never inflate by a profitable amount, unless you stock up in the thousands, you could make maybe 100k.

    judging by the spike in prices lately, the hoarding phase may already be over, **cough** ppots **cough** . havn't been following the price of codestones, but if its anything like the mid/high lvl weapons with good 1player uses, its prolly too late to jump on the inflation bandwagon at this point if you havnt already done so

    I doubt there will be any fighting from the looks of it... Looks like just a problem solving plot... Could be some fight, though i doubt it...

    It looks like a major plot, unlike the PPL and Altador plot. With the major plots, there is always some activity to do with the Battledome. Although there hasn't been a war.

    And I started hoarding a few hundred codestones a week or two ago. Since then, the prices have risen.
    If they rise further, I'll sell them and make some profit. If not, I'll keep them and continue to train my pet. Regardless I've saved neopoints.

    So... I was going over the codestone prices at the neodaq forums. Yup, I'm definately stocking up lol. That's my 2 cents.

    it might be like the altador plot, without any fighting. i hate fighting, none of my pets have goood stats. so now i'm trying to find some one who doesn't want their battle pet.
