I would like to be able to sell items for shards and exchange pebbles for shards and vice versa via the flea market, but it's not an option! So my suggestion is, make it one! I think it would be very good for the economy! Making shards more useful as a player to player currency and making moonstones more accessible through sales, since the current rate for MS:P is 1:10k, the rate for shards could be 1:1k, so people could sell items that aren't worth 10k pebbles without overpricing them.

Came to suggest this, glad I checked the index to see if someone else did already.

100% support. Bone paste is at kind of a premium for me right now (most of it goes to crafting mining supplies), so while I've earned a lot of moonstone shards, converting them to moonstones is costly.

If moonstone shards really aren't going to be a usable currency, the bone paste requirement to craft moonstones from them should be reduced or eliminated.

I like this idea! Support!

Support!

Adding support to this! There's too much of a gap in value between pebbles and ms right now, ms shards would be a great in-between!

Support!

Always supporting this!

it moon shards basically act as moon stone decimals in practice anyway (10 shards= 1stone), so being able to trade with them on the flea market makes sense

I just came to suggest this as well.

I've never been on a game before with a 1:15,000 exchange rate for its premium currency, and it's driving me nuts. It's awful.

This has nothing to do with moonstone paste or crafting, it's entirely about the value of currency. Allowing any items or wolves on the Flea Market to be listable for moonstone shards instead would allow us the flexibility to price cheaper items for the premium currency.

It's just like having cents/nickels/dimes/etc in the real world. Imagine you're buying individual pieces of candy, but you only have entire $1 bills. You don't want to pay $1 for a single peppermint! So we have dimes instead. But the $1 bills are moonstones and our change is just in moonstone shards.

Or putting it another way, if I want to sell a boring G3 wolf for premium currency, my options are basically listing it for the equivalent of 15,000 pebbles at the cheapest, and my next cheapest option is 30,000 pebbles. There's just no room for fine-tuning. If you want to undercut someone in moonstones, you HAVE to undercut them by 15,000 pebbles. It's so demotivating to see 15 scarves listed at 2 moonstones and knowing if I want to be cheaper than them, I'm accepting literally half of the value those ones are at.
