Someone's gotta take one for the team and spend $10k on cookies cuz this is getting outrageous💀

[puffafish]

Although you were right about the supply of booster cookies decreasing, the comparison of god pots to cookies isnt very reliable due to 2 factors: firstly fame rank, in 2021 the fame rank of the majority of players was either the bottom one or one level up, meaning that they get less god pots per cookie. However now on average the fame rank is higher meaning more god pots are created per player. Secondly iron man profiles are a big contributor to the rise as they can only buy cookies not sell them, meaning they raise the price of cookies but do not effect the price of god potions as they cannot sell them.

I think the best way to combat this is extend the cookie time from 4 days to something like a Skyblock year (5 days and 4 hours). More time = less demand = price go down.

Another big problem with this rapid upswing of the cookie economy is for people that are trying to get into skyblock (especially ironman). It can be a big turnoff to login and see that this item that all the big youtubers talk about how you always need, costs so much.

[zookboy]

With the god potion ratio, its important to remember that as time passes, people get MORE money for their cookies. With my fame rank, I get almost 7, 700 bits per cookie, which is far more than the 4000-5000 i wouldve gotten when cookies were first introduced. That could easily contribute to the disparity we see in cookie purchasing power

[fransam]

This affects me immensely, due to being an ironman player, and booster cookies having to take a good chunk of the money i make farming

[quackerz]

Hey dude one factor that you should take into consideration for thee price of cookies from a year or two ago is a lot more people were playing the game due to lockdowns caused by covid so the supply of cookies would have been at a high compared to the current date i highly doubt there are as many active players at the same time as there was during peak covid this will 100% play a factor into the low supply slap inflation on top of that every thing seems to add up 👍

The price of booster cookies were over 6 million coins way before the Garden Update. They have been raising for a while now. The reason why is called the Law of Supply and Demand. Less players are buying cookies and selling them so the price goes up for the ones on the market.

[gdmalin]

The demand for cookies def increased with the garden because you need it to paste from bazzar

[lesukkk]

i think another large part of the price increase was also the addition of new items in the bits shop such as, abiphone stuff, dyes, and new sacks.

[evageloszacharopoulos]

you are forgetting an important fact during the 2 tp 3mil price ragetrain was spending thousands of dollars on them

[toukoenriaze]

Honestly I saw a comment here and id like to repost it sort of because I think it's the biggest issue in the first place ... Booster cookies and by extension the bit shop and godpots are VERY strong ... So strong that they have effectively warped the game around having them ... If you don't have them the game plays like trash or is borderline unplayable ... The borderline experience of hypixel is just bad ... And it's only gotten worse since the crimson isles update removed the ability to brew good potions by locking glowstone collection behind combat 24

2 ways they could cheapen the cookies for gems is maybe not do a skin for a fire sale but do cookies as a fire sale. And/or make them cheaper for 1 month during the summer

[MsBluebl]

My idea to help the cookie economy is that when Elisabeth visit your garden she have a chance to give you one (like 5%) it would lowered the price to probably 2/3 of what they are and it would be easier for Ironman and stranded players to get them

Cookies are very useful and they are also consumable. But the main problem is that they are the only source of bits. Bits are used for buying a lot of useful items and most of them are consumable as well. Everyone wants god potions and kismet feathers - almost every F7/M7 player spends over 2 cookies of bits per day on kismets and a lot of players buy a god potion at least once a week. Also there are talismans, pet rulers, abiphone contact slots, enchantment books for tools, dyes, minion upgrades, etc. Bits are used for doing enchantment experiments. Another important reason is that no matter how expensive cookies are, you will get most money back from bits or even all and gain profit if your fame rank is high enough. There is just no reason to not buy them when you get almost all your money back + gain a very useful cookie buff and fame.
I personally consumed over 7 years worth of cookies and that was mostly for bits. I was actually wondering for a long time why cookies are so cheap. Most players spend money on fire sales and some of them even just irl trade instead of buying cookies.

[iReady]

I think you should realise that the Garden Update probably brought a few more players back so it wiuldve increased the demand of cookies

[tommys]

Also, one thing about the supply and demand is that before when cookies were around 3mil, there was a massive hypixel store sale going on, that ended though

[zkovach]

lets not forget that some big youtubers "cough" ragetrain also spent thousands of dollars on cookies about a year ago and plummeted the prices

[KVMGReal]

Ironman players even are going to struggle with this, especially newer Ironman players. The only way it sounds like for cookies to decrease in price is to either buy more cookies with money and that’s it for Ironman players it sounds like. It sucks to be honest because I’m on Ironman and it took me a bit to grind for my first cookie. It sucks, but that’s how the SkyBlock economy works.

It also might be the fact that Fiesta is "back" way more frequently. Before we had around 4 months without a single Fiesta
