MESSING AROUND WITH SELLING ESSENCE
(Selling VIA CDs)
Author GR4NRAUD3
My latest video (excluding contests and giveaways of course :D) focusses on creating and selling CyDroids (CDs)! Building and flipping CDs in E2 is a easy-ish way of basically selling Essence. (Caveat emptor as of 20.03.2024). No crypto needed here, pure fiat, in-game transactions.
There a various drop rates for different rarity levels of CDs and I have calculated the basic potential earnings from creating and selling them. I emphasise this is purely for informational purposes - this may be a very bad way of selling essence!
So, we are using data which changes day-on-day, hour-on-hour, minute-by-minute so please take these into consideration when reading and watching my video!
I bought a mere 49 tiles to test this, and there have been bigger data points such as those by Bradley who did a huge 5400+ CDs and the % are similar!
I aimed to determine how much money can be made daily by flipping CDs at current prices, assuming Essence is spent on selling them obviously!

Drop Rates - my findings on drop rates are as follows:
Common CDs: 36%-45% drop rate
Uncommon CDs: 26% drop rate
Rare CyDroids: 17%-24% drop rate (12 rare CyDroids obtained)
Epic CyDroids: 8-10% drop rate (5 epic CyDroids obtained)
Legendary CyDroid: 2%-3% drop rate (1 obtained from 49 properties!!)
So, i bought 49 T2 tiles - $40 price (it is worth noting that once you sell a CD, you don’t need to buy more land - you can just create more CDs on this property!)
Building the 49 CDs required 122.5 Essence (49 CyDroids at 2.5 Essence each).

Now we have two options - sell the land with the unpowered CD on it. Or another option is sell the CD directly on the marketplace - this is what I did for this example! For this second option we need to add another 5 essence per CD to power them ready for sale on the market.
So, to sell on the Bazaar, the total cost was 367.5 Essence.
Market Value
As mentioned above, this obviously fluctuates. At the time of creating the video the market value of selling these CyDroids is $46.3 with a price point to sell within 24 hours.
Essence Value
This translates to an Essence value of $0.12 per CyDroid.
However, considering Essence predictions ranging from $0.05 to $5, it may be prudent to wait for actual market prices once the token launches!
