Hey there!
Ironman players put in a lot of effort grinding rare items like Glossy Gemstones, Refined Minerals, Griffin Feathers, etc.—but their NPC sell prices are disproportionately low, making them feel unrewarding outside of very specific use cases.
Problem:
Many of these rare items are:
Examples:
Suggestion:
Increase the NPC sell value of high-effort or event-based items to give Ironman players:
Even modest increases would greatly improve satisfaction and progression for Ironman profiles, while having no impact on regular economy-based players.
Why It Matters:
Adds purpose to repeat grinding
Improves resource management
Boosts event engagement
Respects Ironman time investment
TL;DR:
Please consider boosting NPC sell prices for rare/event drops (Glossy Gemstones, Refined Minerals, Griffin Feathers, etc.) to support Ironman progression and reduce grind-to-trash item feel.

Problem:
Many of these rare items are:
- Time-consuming to obtain
- Have limited Ironman utility once their primary purpose is fulfilled
- Are essentially worthless if unused, due to lack of AH/Bazaar access
Examples:
- Glossy Gemstones — Extremely grind-heavy with almost no resale value | Current NPC Sell Value: 4,000 coins --> 1,000,000 coins
- Griffin Feathers — Abundant during events but nearly useless after | Current NPC Sell Value: 1,000 coins --> 50,000 coins
- Refined Minerals — Limited crafting value, no solid fallback worth | Current NPC Sell Value: 2,000 coins --> 100,000 coins
- Various Slayer/rare mob drops — Overfarmed and undervalued
Suggestion:
Increase the NPC sell value of high-effort or event-based items to give Ironman players:
- A meaningful reward for grinding
- An alternative value path if the item isn’t needed
- A reason to participate in events without waste
Even modest increases would greatly improve satisfaction and progression for Ironman profiles, while having no impact on regular economy-based players.
