    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Add Starkeys to Starshop
    What are you suggesting:
    Adding starkeys to the starshop for 1400 (debatable amount) nether stars.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?: (Copied from my post below)

    It would allow an opportunity to high roll gamble for star items. All star items are worth 2200 nether stars, however the market for many of these items is much less than their nstar value.

    The prices I used for each item are a little above typical user price and the rate of $850/nstar used in the calculation is a little below the average server price, making the cost have a little "tax". With all that being said, if there are any disputes about prices on certain items it is very easy for me to change in the excel file.

    1400 nether stars I think is a fair price for both risk and reward for high-rolling gamblers.​
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    Why would anyone risk 2000 nether stars to just get star armor or some shit when they can save up 200 more nstars to get literally whatever star item they want?

    >Pay 2000 Nether Stars
    >12/18 (2/3) chance of getting something illiquid/worthless


    Is this a good deal? Will people take it?

    The number of nstars may need to be changed slightly lol but the idea is still good imo

    The difficult part at that point would be applying a fair value to the 12 out of 18 which are highly illiquid and thus quite variable in price (when sold at all) due to even small movements in the market. Either you'll end up with a badly priced star key, or have to keep constantly changing prices in advance (which is frankly impossible).

    Besides, at that point, we have gambling substitutes, ie star casino promotions that are held weekly or even lotto.

    Alright so I decided to actually put some effort into this idea and above are my results. The prices I used for each item are a little above typical user price and the rate of $850/nstar used in the calculation is a little below the average server price. With all that being said, if there are any disputes about prices on certain items it is very easy for me to change in the excel file.

    1400 nether stars I think is a fair price for both risk and reward for gamblers.

    Just because we have different ways to gamble doesn't mean that another option would hurt. Think of it as extremely high-stakes slots.

    We won't be adding obtainable Star Keys.
