This highly challenging mental puzzle is called, "click on compare button for adaptive invulnerability fields and check Jita prices".


40.6% invulns are going for less than Caldari Invulns and almost the same price as Dread Guristas 37.5% screens.

Seems like some arbitrage should happen - people who own caldari invulns should definitely dump those i think and trade for pith C-types.

There's also no reason whatsoever not to instantaneously dump, real quick like, those Gistum C-Types, B-Types and A-types.

There's also basically no point buying any of the 37.5% invulns right now.


Comparative prices:

Dread Gurista 37.5% 232m
Pith C-Type 40.6% 280m

CN 37.5% 370m (useless souveniers/roleplay item)

Gist C-Type 37.5% 245m? (more expensive than Dread Gurista - dump now)
Gist B-Type 40.6% 415m (bizarre nonsense - dump yesterday)

T2 30% 1.3m (big drop in EHP and risk)

Capacitor/CPU requirement differences are negligible for most cruiser+ size fits (and even frigs). We are talking 2 CPU difference and 0.66 GJ/s cap.


If you are dropping ~465m on a pair of Dread Guristas you may as well drop ~560m on C-types?

Since generally a full blingy fit is going to be at least 1b total risk..
Compared to Dread Gurisas, basically for about 5-10% of the ship price you can get about 10-15% more EHP (20% overloaded).

Regardless, why on earth there's a single person buying anything other than Dread Gurista and C-Type? (excluding blingier invulns)

Too lazy to click the compare button?

PS: Gist A-Type is a very special purchase only made by super special individuals.

Since the volume over the weekend was 2-3x the usual volume i think the most likely explanation is that it's the first weekend after Phoebe and returning players are selling assets. I'm gonna continue buying.

Note also a very large spike in volume in B-types.

I think this is a red herring. Combat exploration is not the same as relic/data exploration. Sure, many people do both, but they are usually dedicated activities with dedicated characters and ships.

Exploration being iterated on means more people dabbling in it.

More people learning scanning mechanics means more combat exploration sites being run.

Looks like this is mostly due to mid to high tier modules dumped from capital fits as people ditch their capitals. Carrier prices are depressed as well but this is probably temporary and prices will recover. There's some evidence that prices aready bottomed out and greed is back :)

Wrt CN invulns i just realized that they are basically relatively safe of price depression because the supply will self-restrict due to other opportunities for LP spending. What's interesting though is it also seems to serve as a buffer on deadspace module pricing. Basically when purchase volume moves from CN to deadspace, supply of CN gets restricted, thus helping the price of deadspace recover to some extent (and vice versa).

bump, price arbitrage is overdue. Updated OP.

have you considered fitting requirements and/or capacitor usage with regards to what is and isn't in demand, rather than just the % bonus?

Yeah they are pretty much negligible. 2 CPU difference and within 0.66 GJ/s.

CN invul prices are based on tags
