The effects of Maker on the economy

prices of new things tend to start up very high and drop down as time passes. I'd imagine that the same will apply for maker: as more time passes, more people discover maker and start appraising jewels, more graded jewel sellers come into the market. Competition = lower prices.

Thing is that all the diamond hoarders will try to dump their stash on day one, leading to a massive influx of diamonds. Unless the demand is absurdly high, prices might drop until the initial wave of hoarders passes, and then spike because there are no more diamonds around.

Also, in economies with maker, are the prices of ores more or less 1/10 of the jewels or not?

Yes except #3 is actually "You can only make class specific gear that's above level 40"
ie: no Esthers.

Is it not 50?
