they are many more common, the luck ranges went up on jobs, now also non premium players can find those belts on jobs, despite not being deeply specced into certain luck jobs, making em more common, secondly the introduction of new tombola sets etc, kinda hit hard on almost every shiny price, still on most old worlds 200-250k for als is normal, and yes there simply far less woman, so 85-115k for adahs seems normal on any world.
If your playing dakota, well that world got so much of everything, nothing costs a damn there, so if you get 100k on dakota you are able to buyt like 4 times more goods on the market then with 100k on lets say W12. so you earn less, but you can afford loads more anyway
