hey, i'll help with your averages. I'll walk around Jangan Market square today and find average prices for all elements and tablets. Maybe we can then make a semi-price guide or something?
I think that's a good idea. Problem is, they fluctuate and it might be necessary to have updates... maybe weekly? I'll try to offer what I can here and there.
One thing I've noticed about stalls is that some of them stay open for long periods of time, like almost all day, without any changes being made to them. It's like someone is putting up a stall just to keep their place on the server or something. So, we'd want to be careful about duplicating recordings from the same stall. Heh, I somtimes get confused and click on the same stall 2 or 3 times, they get bunched up so close together.
Here are my numbers from yesterday... keep in mind these are prices various people were asking who may not realize what their market value is. One person even admitted in their stall notes that they had no idea what they were actually worth.
This does NOT mean that this is what people will buy them at, these are just what people are offering them for in stalls.
I've duplicated numbers to show how many times I found that price. These values are per one element, taken from price divided by quantity. I've tried to be as careful as I could in recording and calculating them correctly:

This probably belongs in the Market forum, but everything there seems to get swallowed in the sea of 'WTB/WTS.' I know there's a sticky there for 'what's my weapon/item worth', but it might be nice to have an elements only market watch thread. I plan on being in farming mode for at least a few weeks and I'll be extracting elements from everything I can. So I'll post what I see in the Jangan market here for that time, if not longer. We can see how it goes.
It would be nice if people reported what they sold elements for. How many, what price and the server name.
