TWIRP Item Values (2008/02/11) TWIRP Weekly Winners and Losers (2008/02/11)

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): 99.0 -0.3% q
Global Composite Affordability (TWIRPa): 101.7 -0.6% q
Global Composite Income (TWIRPi): 97.3 +0.3% p

Skill Composite Yield (TWIRP-S): 98.1 -1.7% q
Combat Composite Yield (TWIRP-C): 99.4 +0.7% p

Another quiet week, with only TWIRP-S showing much of a move, 1.7% to the downside. As we’ll see later in the report, several skills have been hit by rising costs.

Player Profile Indexes

Pure Skiller Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-SKILy): 98.3 -1.4% q
PvM Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-PVMy): 99.4 +0.7% p
PvP Profile Affordability (TWIRP-P-PVPa): 102.3 +0.4% p
Balanced Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-BALy): 98.8 -0.4% q

Predictably, the skiller profile went down, by a bit less than the Skill Composite Index did. Combat was mostly flat this week.
