They sell for $5, not 50c. It's 2x server price in the stores.
But I can agree. Mossy Cobblestone should be less than Mossy Stone Brick. It only makes sense.

 

Yeah, I'm in agreement... Mossy cobble is much more common than Mossy brick by a long shot (at least right now, as dungeons will never really go away), and if they cost more than Mossy brick, it doesn't make much sense.

I don't know what to propose for a price change, since I don't actually know what Mossy brick is at the moment, or how often people do actually find Mossy cobble.

 

Fyi - Web Market sells them .. And a lot of them.

 

To my knowledge, the reasoning behind Mossy Stone Brick being .50 per block was due to a glitch in which they could be replicated from Stone Brick items.

In my opinion - if this glitch is no longer active - then instead of a price reduction for Mossy Cobblestone, I say the price for Mossy Stone Brick should increase. Mossy Cobblestone is a relatively rare stone, seeing as it is only found in dungeons (I think). Dungeons are more numerous than Strongholds, obviously, but they are still rare enough that the current price for Mossy Cobblestone is acceptable in my opinion. I do not know how many mossy cobblestone blocks are sold to the server, but if we were to drop the price, it would only serve to increase the difficulty new users face in acquiring the money needed to purchase ranks.

I'm against dropping the price of Mossy Cobblestone. It should stay at the current price.

 

Wolvie, I don't believe it matters what the chance of success is for the glitch. The fact is that they can be replicated, and if the price for mossy stone brick was say, 10.00 per block, I'd have to think that it would become profitable to replicate them using stone bricks, which are much more easily obtained. You can make stone brick with cobblestone and a fuel source, which could then be converted to stone block, etc. etc... I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to create a system that would easily abuse this glitch.

Currently, it is obviously a bad business venture to try to replicate mossy stone block with regular stone blocks because of the fact that the current price for mossy stone block is so low. This is not a coincidence.

I can go mining at level 12 forever and never find a dungeon. In fact, in all of my mines underneath level 20, I have not encountered a dungeon. Either I just have an incredible dungeon-drought going on, or they don't spawn at those levels. Most mining operations for rare ores take place around level 12, so for those users like myself getting mossy cobblestone is not an every-day occurrence.

Of course, mining through the abandoned mine shafts would obviously yield a higher chance of obtaining mossy cobblestone because of the frequency of dungeons being spawned in the vicinity of those abandoned mine shafts. If I had my way, I would drastically lower the frequency of abandoned mine shafts... That is beside the point, however.

The fact remains that mossy stone brick is sold at such a low price because it is indeed able to be replicated and abused if it enjoyed a higher price.

 

I believe you must have misread what I wrote. I was giving a hypothetical price for selling Mossy Stone Brick to the server if the glitch for replicating them was eliminated. Perhaps I should have used a different number than 10, seeing as that is the purchasing price for Mossy Cobblestone from the server store. I hope this helps to clarify what I wrote previously.

You are okay with an item (Mossy Stone Brick) that is - by your own admission- quite rare (disregarding the glitch) being worth only .50 cents to the server? Obsidian sells for 10 per block, and that's an arguably renewable resource.

My reasoning for keeping mossy cobblestone at its current 5/10 price is because - contrary to what you have said previously - mossy cobblestone is not a common resource, and there is a limited amount available naturally on the map. I only included my discussion about mossy stone brick because you were using its current .50 /sell price as your primary reason for petitioning the price of mossy cobblestone. Am I making myself more clear this time?

This is indeed very good news. I am quite excited to see if I can carve out bigger mines without encountering the endless labyrinth of abandoned mine shafts.

 

I hardly find any dungeons. Like one every two or three hours.
But anyway.
Why not just raise the Mossy Stone Brick price?

 

Reeds had their price reduced due to significant overload. Reeds were considered by many to be the only item worth farming because of how easy they are to harvest and the quick regrowth time. The price reduction was implemented to curb the profits being acquired. Reed farming is still profitable, just less so than before. This is not a valid reason to base a price reduction for mossy cobblestone off of. Reeds are undeniably a renewable resource: Once a dungeon is cleared of mossy cobblestone, that cobblestone will not automatically regenerate. That block is not renewable, whereas reeds will continue to grow, as long as the plant is intact.

A map change is not a valid reason to consider an item 'renewable'.

Then until there is a significant number of users complaining about the server store price, I am still against lowering the server store price. Server prices are set high to encourage user-to-user trading, obviously. The fact that there is a good market for mossy cobblestone right now makes me more unwilling to change the price.

You weren't on the old map - you joined the server after I did. Just because you are planning to use a significant amount of a certain block does not mean the server price should be adjusted for your benefit.

You are correct - I am indeed saying that you only need the price lowered because you do not want to pay $10 per block. There is currently Mossy Cobblestone for less than that on the market: why would you not continue to purchase from other users? You would not only be helping the economy, but you would be paying less than the 10 per block you are complaining about. I have already offered to sell you mossy cobblestone at 5.5 per block - that's 4.5 less than the server store. I am certain other users would be willing to offer you comparable prices. Your desire for cheaper mossy cobblestone is selfish - what benefit do others gain if the price is reduced when they have not voiced concern over the current server price?

I am going to stop responding to this thread until there are more users who believe $10 per mossy stone brick from the server store is too much. If there is a large enough group who consider it over-priced, then I would of course be willing to reconsider my position.

 

In fairness, there is a difference between mossy cobblestone and mossy brick block. Mossy cobblestone is found in dungeons, while Mossy Brick Block is only found in strongholds.

The Mossy Brick Block price is 100% fair, but it might actually be a bit too low.

The mossy cobblestone price is not fair, when it comes to its sale price in the server-store, though. If it were to stay this way, the price for mossy brick blocks should go up, along with the cracked block.
