Well 30 bill down the drain aint really progress now is it? :D:D 
Enhancing suuuuuucks. Gearing sucks. 

However, in Europe there are already over 7,000:

Gambling is mental illness, I'll always take actual progression over casino tokens if given the option.

@ progress, I mean like whaling level progress. Like willing to dump thousands or w/e to get gear. That's the way you'd get that stuff. Interesting @7000 in Europe. You guys don't see this as an indicator in regards to BDO as a whole? I do. haha.

I am very surprised though. In some ways, it's cool to know that there aren't as many people thirsty to join the PEN debo club, but on the other hand, does that mean BDO is kinda falling off? I mean, season is dead and my guild is barren, but there are still the same people around.

Other theory would be that there is just more silver on EU and people are investing. It's a good investment at 27, but yeah in retrospect I probably should have dumped it when I could have at 40b haha. List price. I saw it and I was like lul people are really gonna sell these things?? I was right there to sell at list, too. But still, in the same way I don't have a tent, I kinda feel spiteful about an item that shouldn't BE IN THE GAME.

But is is very interesting that it dropped to min in a few days and is probably gonna stay there for weeks. People can farm, people can whale, so those hammers WILL sell, but I definitely thought there was more money up top than there was, or more desire to spend to buy them. PA did too with their pearl shop items.

The only reason they are sitting is because not everyone has the liquid silver to buy more.  I bought several, I am just waiting to see if they increase the forever stacks or not.  If it does it's worth the 50b if it doesn't it's worth 34b at least because it removes the downgrade chance on pen debos.

More than the silver few can grind the base for the attempts.  I have 2 hammers but no base necks.  I would buy more hammers but dont see the point till I can get base items for attempts.

Reason why I just save silver and wait. Things like this happen.

Never had to lose my sanity grinding Ash forest for centuries and flushing crons down the toilet.

That makes sense. Now I don't feel confused.

10-30k base debos will hit the market in just 5 days. We might see more hammers getting bough then but fact is, like someone already mentioned- people are dryed out. First week almost 10k hammers sold in EU, it will take many, many months for people to farm some liquid silver again.

If we truly wont see another hammer til November (makes sense since doubt they give out another hammer when the first hasn't even expired yet) then it will sure hit max price. The first patch of people who upgraded this week are not the only and wont be the last. Game's changing and in the next 7 months there will be just as many if not more people who are going for PEN Debos. The demand will always be there. It just needs to take a breath right now.
