Wagon Kits are Coming Today!
Finally, we get to see what wagon kits are going to cost and as expected they are gated behind Aura. Personally I would have liked the lumber yard to have been added as a new building to get some planks of wood to build wagons from but perhaps that’s for the next sets conflicts 😃.
From @cryptomancer’s weekly land baron update we can see that the cost of the wagons will be:
40,000 Wood
10,000 Stone
4,000 Iron
2,500 Aura
But what is that in dollar value? What should they cost on the market?
We know the value of each resource from @beaker007’s site (Land.spl-stats.com)
Resources are valued at approx $2.50 at present value of DEC
And if we calculate the rough value of Aura based on the cost of midnight potions, although it’s not that straightforward as the value of Aura varies massively between Midnight Potions/Fortune Tickets/Auction Marks, we get a value of 0.015 per 40 Aura.
So for 2500 Aura, if it were transferable, we would expect to pay around $1.06.
That gives a cost of wagons somewhere in the region of $3.50 but will be interesting to see where the market puts them, the perceived value of an airdrop and how many conflict points are required will have some part in valuing the wagons.
Now we have a few things available in the artisan quarter looking at how we perceive the value of Aura is interesting and I’m looking at producing a post on the best place to send your Aura later
Looking forward to tonight’s Influencer Town Hall to see what people are thinking!
Thank you for the calculations.
Looks like some market shift have already begun as the news gets out about Wagon kit costs.
Yes, it’s certainly a moving target! Be interesting to see what we are at when the town hall happens later today
Thanks for making/looking for the calculations. I was too lazy to check what was the break-even point myself (I see it is already higher!) before crafting my first one, but was confident it couldn't be lower than the market price now. Hopefully, the market prices would allow for a little profit for a while, and maybe on a longer term, given that wagon kits will likely be in high demand.
Basing it on Midnight Potions is definitely going to give us the low price currently and for those of you producing them i hope the race to the bottom is not as quick as with MP, although from my point of view i hope they dont stay above $5 too long!
Well, it's below $5 already. I don't see a reason to go lower than the production price plus a little bonus. If someone wants to extract the value of resources from land, they can do it via DEC. With Aura, there are different options. Soon, there won't be enough Aura for all of them. I'm starting to produce Aura again.
Yes, the team have finally given land producers options to use their resources and hopefully that will help everyone from the lowly grain farmers to the big Aura factories!
3200 DEC plus Aura now
Thanks for sharing! - @azircon
