You mean what item goes with the inflation and deflation? Like if there is more gp that goes into the game, that item would rise in price? Because I mean, there's no point in buying an item which doesn't change in price, because later when you sell it you'll get the same amount of gp you had before. But like you said, partyhats were like that before, when inflation came, they went up in price, by a lot. This was because they acted as a buffer for the inflation, while everything else remained pretty much unaffected. They don't do that these days though, since the merchants and stakers and all are gone, which is why there are so many price fluctuations in every day items. They may start doing that again though, because there are more and more rich investors sucking up the gp out of the economy these days. But to be honest, pretty much any item goes with the inflation/deflation these days. If it's an inflation, there's an increase in the average item value, unlike before when it only happened to partyhats (and other rares). But yeah, there's no point in buying up an item which stays the same price as before, because you'd just get the gp you spent in it back :?
