🔧Smarter 'Stable Price' Validation! Kumos Technical

Fixed an issue where stale or wildly inaccurate stable prices could cause quests to request items that are way more expensive than they appear. The system now validates stable prices against current shop listings - if a stable price is too old (30+ days) or doesn't match reality (e.g., shows 59k when items are actually selling for 999k), it will use the actual lowest shop price instead.

This prevents quests from asking for unreasonably expensive items and gives you more accurate price information everywhere stable prices are shown.

What is the "stable price"? It's what we use to make determinations around the site that use our years of purchase information, auctions, etc to come up with for each item. This is usually close to what they are in user shops, unless they get bought up or something funky is going on.

I've said it's working fine on my last post, but sometimes a pricy item sneaks its way in.

Had to skip 7 quests today because of the quest givers asking for items that were more expensive than what the payout would be. 2 were for Maleria, 2 for Saggi, 2 for Rumi, and Maybel had one where she asked for a minion that wasn't available anywhere...
So, this "fix" didn't last for long as we are now back to the same amount of quests having to be skipped as before...

Today saggi wanted a 500k item. did the quest, lost 300k, did not do anymore of his. Rumi asked for a 2.5M sticker.. did not do that one.

I like the sound of this fix! However, first quest of the day and Rumi wants a Sea Angel Love Sticker, with a stable price of 9,850,000

Eek! Saggi just asked me for a shell necklace, currently selling for 700,000 sP. He pays out better then most, but not even close to this amount. I'll have to abandon this quest also. (Second one out of ten done so far today that I've had to give up on for this reason.)

Yeah, I spoke too soon. Had three quests today ask for items around 3-5 million sp :(

As much as I appreciate the effort here, it's not working fully yet. Saggi just asked me to get him a guitar for 2mil...

I had to abandon 2 or 3 quests yesterday 2 were shightly pricier but the last one asked for 1M item, with only one left to but (saggitarius I am righttt?)
but today NONE of the quests were off the normal price
So I suposse it is working fine!

I don't think this is quite working. The Saggitarius quest still asked me for an Evil Wand that cost 499,999 - more than Saggi often gives out in rewards (so I didn't buy it).

Also the "stable price" always seems to be exactly the same as the current lowest price by users - no matter what that is or how unstable it is. There's no point in it being listed separately if it's not giving any separate information.

Thanks so much for this! I've had to abandon so many quests, including some asking for unbuyable items. Hopefully this will sort things out :)
