I have been a long time tracker of supply depot sales in this game. I absolutely think theyre a key part of keeping the game economy balanced, and it works well with featured auctions, providing both cr and e sinks.

NOW ON TO THE ISSUE. We havent had good supply depot listings in months. The Game Masters regularly list items on the auction house for only crowns. This plus the returning players wanting cr to buy costumes and catch up has driven energy prices into the ground. USUALLY this would be countered with depot listings, encouraging players to keep some of their currency in energy. Without significant depot listings though, there is no reason to keep energy, and ALL the reason to convert it to crowns.

Now, it is good to have energy prices low for new players, meaning that the grind is easier, as they can buy orbs and crystals. HOWEVER, it highly discourages players from buying energy in your game for money. This is because theres no reason to keep it in e, so paying users will just convert it to cr, further driving e prices to the floor. Just to give you an idea of how its trending:

In january, energy was 4700cr for 100e. It is now 3300cr for 100e. That means $100 worth of e (45000e) would give you about 2mcr buying power. With current energy prices, that same $100 instead gives you only 1.4mcr buying power. Now, this price is crashing, having dropped about 400cr in about a day or two.

If prices keep trending down, there is literally no reason for people to buy energy for money in your game. It lowers buying power, and instead puts the weight on holding cr.

IT CAN BE SAVED!!!

All the devs/gms need to do is list things in the depot. This could be old boxes from 2017-2022 that returning players might have missed! This could be individual items from those boxes! We need reasons to spend and hold energy other than the odd shadow key/silver key. PLEASE!! This year so far we have had 80% fewer depot listings compared to 2025. That is abysmal. Why?!?!

Grey havens you literally have people begging to spend money on your game. Begging to buy old cosmetics. Theres no reason the supply depot specials tab should be empty for 2 weeks in a row aside from the 5% discounted regular items.

A few cool things you could depot that would have the community in tears of happiness

Silver keys (Its been YEARS since this was depoted at a lower price)
Obsidian prize boxes - Its apocrea... why arent these depoted
Basic colored items - Side blades, etc.
Prismatic items - these are highly desired, and even if depoted at high prices, people will still buy
Rose items - these are also highly desired, and were last reran in 2020... its been 6 years

Community, feel free to add desired depot items below. Grey Havens: Im very curious on why the depot is so under-used. Is it desired to keep e prices extremely low? Why are listings down 80% compared to last year? Is it just neglected?

Volcanic Brigandine and Rage boxes pretty please

yeah I thought it was kinda odd for GH to change Cyber Monday to be a year-round thing and then just... stop listing items regularly

Yup, you know I agree with you on this lol

GH has so many items in the game to make a rotation in the supply depot. It's a bad look not to put anything in it.
