Will Headless Heads surpass the value of Ancient Magics, Legendary Weapons, etc.?

There are 4 types of Sunken swords you can catch (clean/swift/strong/hard) and I’m pretty sure they’re each equal rarity of being caught, so a specific enchant sunken sword is 1/32k

I’m pretty sure clean sunken swords are a lot more common than enchanted ones.

dont you traders realize that headless has no real value, and if everybody who isn’t out of their mind collectively agrees that they won’t trade something as op as an ancient magic for a cosmetic that it won’t be worth an ancient magic? you’re pretty much relying on this assumption that people are desperate enough that they would trade a much more useful item for a mid cosmetic. even with supply and demand you can’t guarantee that people will actually give that much of a shit for an item that removes your fucking head and doesn’t do anything else for you unlike an entirely new magic. i doubt there would be more than a hundred people willing to do something as stupid as trading an ancient magic for a headless. you can’t just decide that there will always be a demand for it either because it’s not like the most insane thing in the world??? anybody who wants a headless is probably gonna get it right off the bat when ao comes out for like some sunkens, boss drops or lost spells and everybody who wants them will have them like 2-4 years later when this shit is actually added. the 5 traders who have like a collective ~90 or less can hold onto their headless as long as they want but there’s still hundreds or thousands of headless out there that could be given for way cheaper

Oh alr, I just assumed they were all equally likely but if that’s false what I said should be disregarded

Please do some research on how video game economies work.

Idk, the wiki doesn’t say what the odds of fishing an enchanted item are.

I think its more likely that he starts working on the next game in the arcane universe instead of continually updating ao

real value = functional use. headless aint gonna do shit for you unlike legendary weapons and ancient magics. these items will always have value since theyre good

He’s not gonna work on one game for the rest of his life

Nvm you were talking about the arcane universe

I doubt there will be, since AO is supposed to tie into the conclusion of the trilogy

Good question
But out of all options starting on a new game is by far the most reasonable

Boss drops are infinitely more useful than headless heads, but no one in their right mind would give away a headless head for a boss drop. Headlesses might not be useful, but they are insanely rare and unobtainable. That’s where their value comes from. No one gives a shit about how useful an item is. Gold bars and diamond gemstones aren’t valuable because of their utility. They’re valuable because they are rare and society decided that they are valuable. The same is true with video game economies. If an item is rare (especially if its unobtainable) and the community collectively decides that it is valuable, it’s value will greatly exceed that of a common but more useful item.

So the only thing we need to do is decide that headless should be cheap and then it becomes cheap :slight_smile:

and if everybody agrees that it’s not worth something rare like an ancient magic or legendary weapon than it wont be then as well

for example, the obc hat went on sale a little while ago. barely anybody owned these in proportion to all players on roblox, but people could barely manage to keep the cost at a few thousand robux as people decided to sell cheap and it quickly lost its value. its incredibly rare yea, but when people stop caring about things like that then the value plummets. if people refuse to give ancients for headless, then traders wont get any trades

Yea that pretty much how it works

eh that’s possible but I don’t think it’s completely out of the question for people to demand high values for headless and get it, like there’s probably somebody who’ll do it, even if it’s a big L

Yeah, and if everyone decides that the USD is cheap then it becomes cheap :slightly_smiling_face:

In practice, the market forces are a bit more complex than that, though.

you literally participated in it and quite brashly might i add, so you cant say shit

ahem

your last interaction was 8 posts ago not including these posts, and if anything its been civil and stayed a regular discussion, the only thing i saw that wasnt civil was you calling div a dumbass, so idk why you just labelling any thread that discusses anything as an argument just bc 70% of other like farming ass forumers do the same
