I've been doing some number crunching about CE (Crystal Energy) and I've come up with a formula to know how much you should be paying for CE. The Formula is X = X multiplied by 60. For an example, if X = 2, then it would be 2=2 x 60, making 120 crowns. X is how much CE you want by the way. If you didn't understand this, don't worry, I've made a chart for the price of CE from 1-100.

Note: This is using the normal price you'd get for 100 CE (6000)

CE - Crowns
1 = 60
2 = 120
3 = 180
4 = 240
5 = 300
6 = 360
7 = 420
8 = 480
9 = 540
10 = 600
11 = 660
12 = 720
13 = 780
14 = 840
15 = 900
16 = 960
17 = 1020
18 = 1080
19 = 1140
20 = 1200
21 = 1260
22 = 1320
23 = 1380
24 = 1440
25 = 1500
26 = 1560
27 = 1620
28 = 1680
29 = 1740
30 = 1800
31 = 1860
32 = 1920
33 = 1980
34 = 2040
35 = 2100
36 = 2160
37 = 2220
38 = 2280
39 = 2340
40 = 2400
41 = 2460
42 = 2520
43 = 2580
44 = 2640
45 = 2700
46 = 2760
47 = 2820
48 = 2880
49 = 2940
50 = 3000
51 = 3060
52 = 3120
53 = 3180
54 = 3240
55 = 3300
56 = 3360
57 = 3420
58 = 3480
59 = 3540
60 = 3600
61 = 3660
62 = 3720
63 = 3780
64 = 3840
65 = 3900
66 = 3960
67 = 4020
68 = 4080
69 = 4140
70 = 4200
71 = 4260
72 = 4320
73 = 4380
74 = 4440
75 = 4500
76 = 4560
77 = 4620
78 = 4680
79 = 4740
80 = 4800
81 = 4860
82 = 4920
83 = 4980
84 = 5040
85 = 5100
86 = 5160
87 = 5220
88 = 5280
89 = 5340
90 = 5400
91 = 5460
92 = 5520
93 = 5580
94 = 5640
95 = 5700
96 = 5760
97 = 5820
98 = 5880
99 = 5940
100 = 6000

Just trying to help you get a good price for your CE, I'd enjoy some feedback for this, took me a while :3

current price of CE / 100 =

current price of CE / 100 = crowns per CE...

no feedback?

No comments D: drat, all that work for nothing...

i have a comment

your equation is mathmatically impossible. x cannot equal x times 60. you need to make this a double variable equation and replace the second x with y.

of course, thats not the feedback you wanted.

Also, why would you take "the time" to do this?

Basically what you are saying is "whatever amount of CE you want to get, multiply it by 60 and there you go"

I mean seriously if anyone can take the time to come to the forums to find a post about this, he might have just aswell open up the calculator and done X*60 in 1 second.

When I opened this I thought you were going to say some sort of sick mathcrafting about CE price inflation and how to "predict" when the CE market will be lower etc. Not just "hey, CE is usually 60 CR each, so y'know, if you want 10 CE, dont just do 10*60, better come to my thread and find it in the list!".

Not trying to be mean but this seems like an unnecessary waste of your time.

BTW

Thanks for trying to do something for the community. We are just teasing because it ended up kinda silly. But thanks for the effort all the same :)

Not true. Just ask the Prof Farnsworth about Dark Matter, "each pound of which weighs over 10000 pounds".

your equation is

your equation is mathmatically impossible. x cannot equal x times 60.

Huh? Yes it can.

x = 60x
0 = 59x
0 = x

it's just nothing like the method he described. =P

It's just... perhaps not quite as helpful as you had envisioned it being?

@ Delvro

Well, i believe you did the math wrong based on order of operations.
*FIXED*
x=60x
x/x=60x/x
1=60
You have to multiply before subtraction in order of operations (right? that's how i remember it).

I'm pretty sure the above is correct (forgive me if i am wrong, i took algebra 14 years ago, lol).
At any rate, Rommil was saying that was impossible as a formula. And since you cannot divide by zero....

@Razor-Dash: What has math

@Razor-Dash: What has math ever done for us any way? Spend 16 years learning it in school, then forget 90% of it because you can't enter it into an Excel Spreadsheet.

I believe the only thing

I believe the only thing wrong with his equation is the lack of units.

X = X * 60 should be CR = CE * 60.

and by the way, kids, you can't divide by x if x = 0 unless given the condition that x =\= 0. Not speaking to you directly, Pawn, just giving a friendly warning in case someone goes back to their Algebra teacher and says, "A game forum taught me you could divide by x so you're wrong!!" ;)

@ Aylnine I said that you could not divide by zero. That was kind of my whole point :)
