TWIRP Item Values (2008/02/04) TWIRP Weekly Winners and Losers (2008/02/04)

In this subsection I describe the results of the highest-level TWIRP composite indexes, as well as the player profiles that illustrate the impact of item price changes on different player types. For more details on these indexes, please see TWIRP Composite Indexes and TWIRP Player Profile Indexes; if you are not familiar with TWIRP as a whole, please refer to the TWIRP Quick Guide before proceeding.

Composite Indexes

Global Composite Yield (TWIRP): 99.2 +1.2% p
Global Composite Affordability (TWIRPa): 102.2 +0.7% p
Global Composite Income (TWIRPi): 97.0 +0.5% p

Skill Composite Yield (TWIRP-S): 99.8 -0.9% q
Combat Composite Yield (TWIRP-C): 98.7 +2.9% p

Combat affordability rebounded this week from its big 5.1% drop last week. This was largely due to matching recoveries in the value of herb and gem drops. Affordability was slightly up as well. Skills decreased slightly overall.

Player Profile Indexes

Pure Skiller Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-SKILy): 99.8 -0.7% q
PvM Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-PVMy): 98.8 +2.6% p
PvP Profile Affordability (TWIRP-P-PVPa): 102.0 +1.4% p
Balanced Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-BALy): 99.3 +1.0% p

Again here, we mostly see corrections from big drops last week, except for skillers.
