DH Stones, the new SS / PG???



Blame Avon hahaha... But seems to me, people are cashing in nowadays on crafting Du Heng stones for AFK leveling, replacing the old Tugudug style (SS/PG).

Well, the price of gold is really high and PG (precision gold) crafting is not profitable anymore.

Avon was the one who originally introduced the selling of these stones to the lazy people of dragon (myself included), but there's more than what meets the eye. Recent observations revealed you can get as much as 600k worth of EXP daily from crafting level 4 jade stones alone, great for someone too busy to grind his or her character.

Well, its kinda low comparing to PG where you can get millions of EXP per day, but its preferred since aside from you just have to go back after several hours to check, you can resell the stones as well, earning a little profit in the process.

Here's a rough breakdown:
Whole day jade crafting cost = around 48M
Number of Pcs Produced = 700 per kind, total of 3500 level 4 jades
Exp for 3500pcs level 4 Jade = 567,000
Profit Gained
sell it for 15k a piece = 52.5M -48M = 4.5m
sell if for 14.5k a piece = 50.7M - 48M = 2.7M

Now, why would some people sell it for 15k while others 14.5k a piece? Well, the answer lies on how much they would be able to get yuan back to craft again.
If you will be selling it for 15k chances are, it will take you 2-3 days to dispose them all. Whereas, selling it for 14.5k lets you dispose all of them in 1 day. Which would you think is better?
Also, with a lot of people selling stones now, you also have to be competitive, or else, you'll end up waiting for the stones to be sold so you can craft another set.

It's a lot of work, but at the same time, you earn while your character gains EXP... Hmmm... not bad don't you guys think?
