Elemental Wands and staffs

I think this is a pretty accurate take on things, I'd say.

Unless these weapons existing and being functional motivates more people to create Mages instead of Bishops or motivates boss run organizers to finally give Mages a chance they've always deserved.

But the key point to notice is that with Bishops no longer wanting these things, that's a large demand cut off instantly. Demand cutting out will lead to lower prices, assuming supply is constant. The only x factor is whether or not them functioning will make the demand in Mages go higher to counter Bishops no longer wanting. But frankly, the 130 weapons are the best weapons in the game regardless of if these function or not; I doubt demand can be any higher than "every Magician in the game", particularly when the desired fix cuts off the largest subclass of the Magician class.

Afro that is STANDARD economics.
This is MAPLE.
Nobody drops their prices.
Ever.
They just keep jacking them up and assuming they just need to wait longer.
And eventually someone saves up and buys the jacked up price.
And All the Sellers now Know they should sell for AT LEAST that
amount.
Or Some plantain Merchantter will go around buying the decently priced ones and post all of them with 1Bil+ Meso tag.
Even the ones we WON"T use- 163 Fire Stave =/= 1bil. mesos.
