As it is, normal sand costs $4.6875 each at the server shop, and there are other ways to get it (kits, challenges). Red sand costs $37.50 each at the donor shop, and there are no other ways to get it besides buying it. It requires 4 sand to craft 1 sandstone block, so the sandstone blocks should be roughly 3 to 5 times as valuable as the sand. Right? Island Levels Sand - 0.02 Red Sand - 0.05 Sandstone Block - 0.08 = 4x the value of sand, as it should be. Red Sandstone Block - 0.03 = Only 60% the value of red sand! Sandstone Slab - 0.04 = 2x the value of sand, or half the value of the block, as it should be. Red Sandstone Slab - 0.0125 = Less than half the value of a red sandstone block... I haven't checked stairs or smooth sandstone yet, because I don't have the extra red sandstone to make stairs to check at the moment.
:cry: Now red sand is only worth 0.02 and none of the red sandstone has increased at all. It's even more worthless than it was.
I also noticed "/is info" misreports the amount of quartz slabs on my island. It says I only have 52 quartz slabs but I have at least 5,000. Or does it include most of it with quartz blocks?
I can mess around with the island block levels; but to do that the server will need to be offline to change anything within the skyblock plugin. If you guys wanted to make a list of items that you feel need to be re-evaluated reply to this post and I will look into changing them ASAP (please be realistic). I will let you all know once the values has been changed in the next couple weeks. Thank you in advance for any suggestions
It counts slabs and "double slabs" as different blocks. Based on red sand being almost 10x as expensive and shop purchase only, I'd suggest it to give island levels equal to about 4x or 5x normal sand/sandstone. Red Sand - 0.1 Red Sandstone - 0.4 Red Sandstone Slab - 0.2 etc.
I agree with riz (even though his reasoning to know this) the sand and red sand blocks should be more is levels
