    Minecraft Name:Thecreator767

    Suggestion: Sell lighter versions of the melon sword to encourage growth and development of users
    EXAMPLE TOOLS w/ EXAMPLE PRICES:
    Efficiency I unb III - 4 nstars
    Efficiency I unb III silk touch I - 25 nstars
    Efficiency II unb III silk touch I - 100 nstars
    Efficiency III unb III silk touch I - 400 nstars
    Efficiency IV unb III silk touch I - 1650 nstars

    Reason:
    -2000 nstars (1.2 million ECD at current nstar prices) is an insane number to purchase one of a few tools that can actually make a decent amount of money/hour on this server.
    -If I were a new player, I wouldn't want to see that there's only the option of making very little money (mining or pumpkin farming w/ speed potions) or making a lot of money (16k+/hour). I would want to at least see a bridge tool that I can grow into and use to grow further. Of course, you couldn't give it away for free, but make it a realistic challenge to achieve for a new user.
    -More uses for nstars rather than extreme hoarding of 2000+ of them. NStars were supposed to be a secondary currency. Not a nuisance to just convert quickly to ECD or to hoard.
    -You grow from the weak tools to the better tool to the strongest tool. not the weak tools to the strongest tool.
    -Encourage more melon farming. (Usually reserved for the wealthy)

    Any Other Information:
    -A light melon sword would not kill the melon sword market. Airlines are swapping out their older planes to get a 10-20% increase in fuel economy/seat (depending on what they buy). If they're willing to invest hundreds of millions just for 10-20%, I'm sure that a tool that gives notably higher wages/hour will be in high demand.
    -Lighter versions of the melon sword will also not kill the star tool rental market. Melon swords will still be able to get a notably higher pay/hour. In my suggestion, efficiency IV light melon swords make a slightly lower amount/hour, but cost a steep price in nstars (Fast melon tools would still be expensive).

    I feel like this would get too confusing and people would advertise the lowest tier of melon sword at a price of 1mil to mislead people into thinking it's a normal msword.

    I see where you're coming from there, but I'm pretty sure that a definitions page was written up to prevent that type of scam from occurring. i.e. punpkin axe = eff V unb III

    edit:
    Also, many users look at what the tool is first (or verify its enchantments) when they make million ECD purchases.

    I don't have exact numbers, but I'm willing to bet a new player can make more $/hr cocoa farming with an unenchanted diamond axe and no features than all of these would make.

    On one hand I think it would be good for users have more variety in ways they could make money even if it is no more or less than other ways. On the other this seems kind of confusing and you can already put lower tiered enchantments on tools at exp shop.

    It would probably be an all around neater solution to just put a few more available enchantments up in the exp shop that you could apply to a tool. That would also improve the exp market as there would be more to spend it on. Players could just save up a good amount of exp or money, but not so much as a star tool costs, to make their own more moderately competitive tools. Just a midway point between max pick and eff7 and regular sword, msword.

    I dont think its too bad as is though with some really competitive deals available in the star tool rental market. Thats notable too as entering the star tool rental market and passively making money is part of the appeal for players who already have one or more star tools to continue to save up for more. Removing that demand might be bad for players who already invested in multiple star tools. That might be a very bad outcome to devalue the tools they already have.

    With an anvil you can take lower level enchants and combine them together to make a better one. Two eff1s make an eff2, two eff2s make and eff3, and so on.

    -1 As Nicit said previously, a new player can make the same amount of money, possibly more, than all of these tools with cocoa farming. Additionally I don't see the point in adding random tools to the nether star market.
