How much...

Deleted • 27 May 2013 at 1:41 PM

Are certain creatures worth in terms of EC?

Since I hardly have anything like giving away rare creatures because I only have one of them. I was figuring maybe another way to fulfill my wishlist some more is to trade people with tons of EC. I can work my butt off them if that's what it'll take.

Is there maybe a list someone has of what the older LE's or CC's would be worth?

@kamoodle5

There's only a CC worth topic.

It really depends on the creature.

Are there any you're seeking in particular?

@kamoodle5 It depends not only on the creature, but also the trader. You could look at the CC worth topic and convert the CC into EC.

[I think the conversion is either 1CC or 10CC = 1 million EC, but I rarely trade EC for CC so someone can correct me on this.]

@karamel Conversions depend on users, but the most popular one currently is 100cc = 1mil EC. ^^ I think.

@kamoodle5 ^ Look at the CC worth topic and convert. Prices do vary though, since people still like CC better.

@ems @karamel @kamoodle5

EC has become more valuable since CC gifting was taken away.

I still like that conversion rate but I've seen old CC's go for 5 mil.

DX It's really hard to say right now. It all depends on the user.

@april__ I know, I still don't se why some users insist on conversions though because they can't even trade CC. -.-" I personally think we should come up with better prices. But EggCave will still be pretty CC based for a while as users get used to the 'no gifting' thing. 😋 It's annoying how miffed people are about it. *feels WAY off-topic* But it really does depend on the user right now. ^^

@ems

Well, some users are still trading CC in a way with freezes and monthlies, but that's as far as it can go.

And it is user based.




kamoodle5, if you gave some more specific examples of creautres you were seeking, we could probably help you better. ^^

@karamel 100CC for 1 M 😊

Deleted • 27 May 2013 at 3:21 PM

@kamoodle5
As the others have said, the most commonly used ratio is 100cc:1mil ec. Some users are more lenient with the rates than others, but that's what I've sold/been offered for freezes when I had extra cc to spare.

The lowest I've seen two freezes go for recently was around 3.5mil.

@april__

Well, I am in a "trying to catch 'em all" motive but I know I likely won't be able to get them all. In my profile, I have a JPG url containing my wishlist. Again, it's all wishful thinking but worth a try.

@karamel @ems @moon_thief @hybridrainbow

Thanks for the responses. I know CC creatures would be worth a lot more than a limb. Maybe I can begin with older LE's I don't have yet. I'll look into the topic mentioned.

I do have CC, but I am trying to ration it as much as I can. Since I go with the 45 dollar offer, that gives me three months of CC to spend on future CC creatures. Money is also kinda tight.

@kamoodle5
The good news is that EC is in higher demand now, so if you set aside maybe an hour or two a day you can make like 500k from feeding large coves and around 1mil on the 15th.

Could also sell an occasional freeze, extra travels, unwanted creatures to help out.

It's nice to have enough EC so you don't have to spend CC all the time. 😊

@hybridrainbow

Not to sound so newbie or the person that never scouts the news, but how has EC become more valuable lately, aside from what I heard regarding CC gifting? I know travels, Tim's, and Callas are reasonable.

Unfortunately, the only reason I don't feed coves often (in fact, I dread larger coves for this) is my internet is slow. In fact, I'm not ever feeding my whole cove and mine is huge. I do have some tricks up my sleeve to make the experience a little easier but it doesn't speed up the process. I do have a right-click tab addon and I know the Ctrl-W technique.

What they do need to do is create more events like the Kinump one to encourage more clicking.

I don't mind saying I do have a few million EC that's been sitting around.

@kamoodle5
it's hard to say exactly, but there's an increasing amount of csp creatures uft for pure ec. there's also a ton of "seeking ec" topics, some with lower conversion rates than others.

i recently bought a 1st stage amma for 2mil, for example.
there were greem uft for 1.8mil, 5mil, 6.5mil. two biwo were 7mil and 10mil. a foo for 12mil. abrillion for 5.5mil. flaren for 500k.
and i'm pretty sure lots of others that i missed, not to mention the ones uft in forums.

oh :/
i have a fast computer and decent internet speed so i can feed a cove of 300 in probably 5 mins using just ctrl+w alone.

i agree even though i do a lot of feeding x.x
there needs to be more events around the site.

haha nice! i got quite a bit myself...just gotta figure out what i want to spend it on.

@kamoodle5
NOTE: I haven't read any replies on this topic, so I hope I'm not re-stating anything

If you have a list of creatures in mind, I could help you. My values would be rough, because pretty much every user will vary. Some cheap, some over priced. I don't think the whole CC/EC conversion thing is accurate at the moment, just because the gifting feature leaving created a gap that the economy is filling in on its own. It used to be 1 CC= 10k EC
Some people are now doing 1 CC= 8k EC, but I've also seen 1 CC= 4k EC, so like I said, all creature EC values vary with the user.

@rileytibbles_side

I'll have to bring up the courage to let certain people know what I want and come up with a plan. On the other hand, I always feel like I'm asking for too much. I know that I'm not the only one that wants those older creatures.
