On Wednesday, August 5, Sol: Enchantment (hereinafter 'Sol') released an update featuring the 'Sanctuary of the Celestial Palace,' a level 50 safe hunting ground, along with new collections. The update significantly increased the number of 'Nine' sinks, including new collections obtainable via Nine and Epic Skillbooks, as well as an event allowing players to craft Epic Gear Selection Chests using Epic Skillbooks as materials. We examined the post-patch market trends, focusing on the streamer servers Calteon and Lindel.

First, we looked at the price of Nine Cores, the core currency of Sol. The average price across the monitored servers saw a slight decline from 47.23 Diamonds last week to 46.52 Diamonds. However, prices actually rose on many servers, and the overall average was heavily skewed by a sharp drop on Lindel 3, where prices had been more than double those on other servers. In reality, the market remains largely stable.

On Lindel 3, the public buy order price for Nine Cores was lowered from 100 Diamonds to 85 Diamonds, leading to a slight decrease in Exchange prices. However, since they are still trading at double the price of other servers, Diamond inflation is expected to persist.

Prices for Holy Spellbooks and Cursed Spellbooks rose slightly. The event that provided these items has ended, and the new event focuses on Nine consumption and new collections, leading to an immediate supply-side impact.

Additionally, Bonus Time Stones for the new 'Sanctuary of the Celestial Palace' dungeon have begun appearing on the market on some servers. While prices have yet to stabilize due to low supply, the dungeon's solid performance suggests it could become a viable source of Diamond income once prices settle.

The rapidly falling prices of Epic grade God Armor and Spirit Bodies have stabilized. Excluding Lindel 3, most servers saw a slight decrease, but overall prices remain in the low 10k Nine range, similar to last week. On Lindel 3, prices have actually risen by 2000 to 3k Diamonds compared to last week.

Ancient Magic Earrings and Ancient Magic Rings are being traded on almost all servers. Compared to last week, some servers saw prices drop by nearly half, while others remained stable or saw slight increases. Although supply has increased, trading volume remains low, so it will likely take time for prices to stabilize.

Last week, the 3rd Floor Teleport Scroll traded at an average of 477.8 Diamonds as many users hunted on the 2nd floor to obtain it, driving the price of 2nd Floor Teleport Scrolls up to 65.51 Diamonds. However, once it became known that very few users could hunt effectively on the 3rd floor, prices for both scrolls stabilized quickly. The price of Tower of God Bonus Time Stones also saw a slight decline as more alternative hunting grounds were discovered.

Holy Shards are also trading at less than 1 Diamond per unit on average due to limited demand. Following the 1st Floor Sealed Dungeon Teleport Stone introduced in the third week of July, the 2nd Floor stone has now been added. It remains to be seen if any Inheritors will be willing to pay the high crafting costs.

Prices for high-grade materials have risen slightly, likely due to increased demand from the new collection lists. Notably, there were no listings for high-grade wood on Calteon 4, while prices for mid-grade and common materials remain unchanged.

First, the number of Epic Skillbooks has noticeably decreased. Some skillbooks, such as Curse Sleep, had dropped to the 2000 Diamond range by last week, but the start of the event allowing players to craft Epic Gear with a low probability led to a rapid depletion of Epic Skillbooks across most servers.

Additionally, 'Latifa's Ritual Staff,' an Epic Staff that rarely drops in the fields, was listed on Lindel 5 with a +7 enchantment. Given the prices of previously listed high-enchantment weapons, it is priced relatively affordably, which is expected to spark a competitive bidding war among top-tier Mages.
