Dragon lairs - prices

[Jaraiden]

My little lair, in Outreach, went from 518 silver to 732 silver, which is okay. It's in a 4 plot "town" without an entry pad (or portal) near Bridgeview which may have those.

I don't understand the pricing myself as I'd think the more desireable lair plots would be near resources or larger communities. The resources to make rooms of that tier. Communities to divide the machines and storages. With all these cargo discs that allow portalling, the entry pad is a nice convenience and is part of the pricing (I guess).

However, there are certainly other factors, such as view. Certain areas of Istaria have had "love" like Mia's Edge and the "Dryad" trees near Istarias Union. One lair in particular has an awesome setting. Also proximity of varied resources (like some mixed areas near Dralk) and monsters.

It'd be interesting to compare this "revalued" set with auction pricing to see what the players deem is lair (or plot) value.

I could not believe (but there IS a portal in Harro over the ridge) the price of the lair where Fafnir and his glowing green buddies routinely run in front of.

Here you have a lair that is only 96 by 96 by 216 deep, has an epic mob that runs in front of it, his buddies run in front of it, and not close to a portal, unless you can fly up and over the ridge or "yank" your disk through the rock.

it is 5g 625sp

Harro is the best single portal in the game. It leads very nearly everywhere. This lair is near that portal "As the crow flies" unfortunatly.

glad i got my lair when it was 400 or so silver.

is this base price without anything built?

because if is I might find it a little irritating that the base price I got from my old unity lair, on import, would no longer cover the base price for the same lair now, when there was basically no opportunity to buy anything similar.

price being higher because things are built on it, or inflated due to auction is fine, but if base price has changed would feel a bit like someone having sneaking in and running off with chunk your horde

Yes, sad, but it's true in your case fireblade.

Mmmm that still seems a bit high if we're using the "closeness to portals" or even "major cities"...

Cuz my Chiconis portal lair (literally, RIGHT there, right behind the chic shrine - possibly difficult (rare) if not impossible that any lair is closer to a portal than mine is..)

The cost is over 4 gold, 4 gold and a few hund'er silver (but not near five gold).

So ...still not sure why a bit farther away from Harro Portal lair, with mobs and an elite in front if it - cost more than the lair off the back door of the chic portal .

Either way dont matter - this lair will be given up when I cancel my sub...one day...or the game shuts down. Whichever comes first .

Just thought it an "odd trend" if there is indeed trends..

[Shian]

Chic only leads to other major cities though. Not every settlement and a few guild plots even. I tell you what, if the pad was closer to the portal, aside from living in Bris, Harro would be a very popular spot to live.

[Frith-Rae]

Hey it also leads to Tandalar...

But yea Harro's always been popular...though if we talk too much about the portal I can see it getting nerfed to be more in line with all the other town portals..*looks around quietly*
