Talk:Zaishen Coin

Disambig
I'm not sure I like this being a disambig page. I'd rather see it as a summary type article describing all 3 types of coins, where they can be obtained, who collects them, and what the conversions are. I already added the last as notes. Currently you have to go to each coin's article to find that info, and usually you'll be visiting more than one, if you need to know how far you are from getting the item you want, and do the math on conversions, since you always start with copper. And the article names themselves are a pain to type out, I redirected Zcoin here, making it easy to find time and time again, and a perfect place for a quick reference type page. Any thoughts?

 * Agree, how, what and why about the Zaishen Coins can be explained here, explaining how to get them and what collectors want them, instead of keeping this on each seperate page...-- [[Image:merty_sign.gif]]-- ( talk ) 07:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Value of Zoins
I did some quick computations to compare the value of the 3 types of zoins to each other and to trade values. (See picture.)   &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Observations

 * at 32g/zoin, Heavy Kit Packs are the most expensive item by a factor of 3
 * at 9.5g/zoin, Perfect Salvage Kits are a great deal (to use or sell) (unless you want a kit pack)
 * at < 5.0g/zoin, scrolls and title points are the worst deals

Computation

 * 1 Zoin = Copper Zaishen Coin
 * [gp] and [Cu] are the net gold and zoins needed after converting to Silver (Ag) or Gold (Au)
 * Buy/Sell are merch values
 * Trade is the average of Buy/Sell, is seen frequently as WTB/WTS in gp or ectos, or recent average at gwauctions.org
 * Implied Trade Cu = (Trade Value - [gp])/[Cu], or how much the zoin is worth after discounting all item conversion costs
 * colors: worst (red) at 2.8/zoin to best (green) at 9.5g/zoin, midpoint (yellow) at 4.7g/zoin
