you cant compare prices on specific items..

Some items drop alot easier on alb/excal then on hib/pryd obviously...

Saw a TON of bracers of moirai for 400g each when i started on alb/excal ..
now the price have gone up a bit , dunno how much though... think 2p each now. That bracer is worth tons on hib/pryd ill imagine.

tbh i always thought it was to get ppl help you transfer, eg:

You post u wanna trade 2p from hib/pryd to mid exc... few days later no reply's, unless someone also wants to trade vice versa at the exact same time you do (sux i know

)

So you edit or make a new post but this time you offer 3plat from hib/pryd for 2plat mid/exc.....

Few days later you have many reply's as peeps usually jump to the chance of free plat

So... you get your transfer done fast by basically....paying for it

somthing you might also want to bare inmind with items is the numbers of a specific class, caster items are more expensive on alb exc because there are more fotm sorcs etc than fotm .... er eldi's 0-o, any way there are waaay more rangers than scouts in the world so no wonder immo bow is more expensive on hib pry plus alb's tend to have no clue about good items <to an extent> so will just go with fool's/braggarts/LW and throw somthing together. Child is right tho takes fewer peeps on alb exc to farm things than on hib pry, ideally on hib pry most things can be farmed with a ml9 chanter a ml5 drood <bb> and a mana mentalist where as on alb exc a necro <50 servant no ml's> and its ml5 bb can take exactly the same stuff, so not only do they need fewer people but less time has to be invested by the players - ml9 can take a bit of time to get. Puts albs slightly ahead of the game imo.

that was my whole point exactly - some items are easier to come across on excal, and vice versa.

I was looking for some stuff for my BD on Mid/Exc ME yesterday & tbh the prices there are insane. There were a very few comparable items slightly cheaper than here, but the vast majority of the stuff was way more expensive, up to 20 times Hib/Pryd prices in a couple of extreme cases. Making a general comparison is difficult but I reckon caster gear there is on average 2 to 3 times more expensive than here. Of course prices can be extremely volatile so maybe I just picked a bad day.

yea thats basically what i ment Xcerus, its easier for albs to farm cash than hib imo
