Paris Dub Hilton found the largest Rugaritz deposit in the history of Entropia Universe. The “Rich (XXIII)” claim was found at a depth of 903 meters using a Customized OreFinder OF-213(L) with an OA-103, deep in the heart of Amethera (10556,27308).
The find has a Trade Terminal Value of 19,360 PED ($1,936) and according to the current market value could be worth up to half a million PEDs ($50,000).
A number of rare items in game are crafted using Rugaritz including Master Coats and Phantom Armor, which has caused a dramatic increase in price over many months due to the rarity of the ore in large enough quantities for bulk production. With this new find, there is much speculation about whether these items will now come down in price, or whether there are plans afoot by MindArk to include Rugaritz as an ingredient in production of the new Amps promised in the imminent VU.
Of course, for one happy Entropian, the more important question is, where to spend all those PEDs....
