I mean, value is in the eye of the beholder, but I’m saying like, objective factors.
Like difficulty to obtain, intent in how it was added, and actual usefulness.
Isn’t that what the in-game value already does?
Then tell me why Eagle Patrimony, a free item that everyone gets, has a value of over half the sunken sword, which is notoriously difficult to obtain, and highly valued.
Not to mention, the sunken sword once again, is more than 10x less in galleon value to a Prometheus Acrimony, which to many is worth even less than a sunken sword entirely.
Probably for flavor, since it can’t be vendored.
The only purpose that in-game item value has in most cases is galleon generation. To try and tie it to player market value would be a waste of time, and inaccurate approximately 5 seconds after people get on after such an update is done.

Okay, bad example then, what about the other one?
This is the key, it is subjective. For the case of Prometheus Acrimony, I think the value is more for flavor, the single highest vendor value in the game is a clear indicator of “you hit the jackpot”, with Godly Essence or whatever the 4k one being a lesser jackpot.
I don’t see any benefit in changing item values in an attempt to have them match what their trade value is currently perceived as. Best case scenario, they remain inaccurate and nothing was accomplished; worse case scenario, the prices of items spike because people naturally trade items for more than they can get from vendors.
Good question actually.
Since selling items only rewards you with a % of its worth (except for fish and maybe some other stuff), player trading would still happen, even if people can sell their sunken sword for 30k (they could sell it to other players for 90k instead).
The only issue that comes from this is artificial inflation of an item’s price (like how you can ‘project’ roblox limiteds) in order to gain infinite galleons, but then you could also counter-act it by making it so that selling items to NPCs lower its value too.
It’s complicated, so I guess this must be the real reason why.
I’ve heard that Vesteria does it just fine despite all of that though.
Excellent trade!
Edit 1: This thing is sketchy as hell, someone else sent me the reverse of this exact trade (trying to give me a talassi, triasta, and brisk rusty claws) and claims to not know whoever sent this one. It doesn’t look like they’ve stolen anything (not that I’d be able to tell since I have too large of an inventory and no high-value items except acrimonies), but I’m going to keep an eye out for these sketchy happenings.
