Scorching effect is slowly rising to god tier?
It seems like the price of scorching hats are rising steadily right now especially when traders have come to realize that Halloween effects aren't truly limited.

God tier halloween effects such as cloudy moon, secret moon, and harvest moon's prices are dropping steadily, and most of the traders will intentionally avoid trading for these effects especially if they have a classic god tier like burning.

Something always bother me before is that scorching is actually a really nice looking effect, perhaps even better than burning to some. Yet it is 1 tier lower than burning. In most of the god tier hats' cases, the difference between burning and scorching could be several hundred dollars and that's pretty insane.

However, it seems that people has realize how close scorching is to burning, and that seems to driven up the demand of scorching hats greatly. In some cases, scorching is priced more than sunbeam...

so what do you guys think? Will the status of scorching effect change and rise up to be on par with Burning? or the demand of scorching items will not be enough to push it to the god tier realm?

It's all about what you like. I'm a big fan of cauldron bubbles, ghosts, green energy and scorching flames, as I like the color green.

Many people like burning more than scorching, and thus burning has been more expensive.

it's not about what you like when it comes to trading tho.

what i am trying to say is that the demand of scorching hats has been rising steadily right now. In some hat's case, scorching can sell for more buds and faster than sunbeams while effects like moons are unwanted for their current value.

so i am just wondering if others have notice this trend too. It is hell lot easier to sell a scorching/burning hat than sunbeams or other halloween effects if you want to sell it for their value 1-2 months ago.

Well with all the people saying unusuals are always personal preference thus the more complex pricing. But if the majority does something it happens so if scorching is slowly rising than probably people are willing to pay more because they like it or everyone that owns it doesn't want to sell it. Now I wished I had my scorching dixie.
