TWIRP Item Values (2008/03/24) TWIRP Weekly Winners and Losers (2008/03/24)

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): 94.3 +0.5% p
Global Composite Affordability (TWIRPa): 96.0 -0.3% q
Global Composite Income (TWIRPi): 98.3 +0.7% p

Skill Composite Yield (TWIRP-S): 98.8 -0.6% q
Combat Composite Yield (TWIRP-C): 89.4 +1.1% p

A week of recovery for the combat aspect of the game, and mild correction for skillers after mild gains the weeks before. We’ll have to see if this continues; I think that in the long run, the trends for combat skill point downward.

Player Profile Indexes

Pure Skiller Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-SKILy): 99.2 -0.5% q
PvM Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-PVMy): 89.4 +1.1% p
PvP Profile Affordability (TWIRP-P-PVPa): 96.4 +0.2% p
Balanced Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-BALy): 94.7 +0.4% p

The profiles mirror the composites, with PvM benefitting more than PvP thanks to increases in income outweighing improvements in terms of cost/affordability.
