[STO] Dilithium Tracking 10/11/12

Its been a fun week for Star Trek! Lifetime Subscriptions are on sale for $199 for a limited time, Lifetime holders get all Veteran’s Rewards without waiting (which is causing more than a little division on the forums), the new 1,000 day VR ships have been released, and a new STF for Season 7 has been announced!

But, you can see all that elsewhere; you came here for numbers...

I’m a little surprised at how Z:D has been going recently. By this time last month, prices were much lower than they are now. While its still a good time for those trying to buy Zen, its not as good as September. A bit better for those trying to buy Dilithium, though. I don’t know if demand has changed, or if Dilithium buyers are deliberately trying to move prices back the other direction.

Darker blues are more recent.

Prices have been holding steady. The mid-point between the 1:25 and 1:500 is 1:247. Right now things are still better for Dilithium sellers than Dilithium buyers. Arguably, this is moving back to being more equitable between the two. Not as great for me at the moment since I’m trying to buy Zen, but that just means I’ll need to shift my strategies some.

I’m curious to see how this will affect the pricing on things like Unreplicatable Materials, Master Keys, and Fleet Modules, since it will take longer to buy them via Dilithium. Will people move to trying to buy them with Energy Credits, causing the price to go up? I’m also wondering if there are more Fleets that are slowing down on their Starbase projects. All of those require a not insignificant amount of Dilithium.

Oh well.... until next time!
