Capital blueprint price increase?

The price of capital ship and capital ship component blueprints from NPC sellers has risen over the last few weeks, and I can't find anything in patch notes. Does anybody know why this is happening?

I'm not complaining or anything - if NPC prices stay where they are today the increase of 10.9% will have increased my net worth by 20 billion isk - but I am very interested as to why this is happening, where prices will stabilize, and what's going to happen next.

  1. They adjusted BP prices across the board in the last patch, but didn't put it in the the notes. There was an EveO forum thread on this and it was confirmed by a Dev, but I can't seem to find the thread now.

  2. Aha, thanks.

    That's... going to work out well for me. Maybe my financial report won't need that extra 1.2 billion after all.

  3. Can you post the comparison table if you have time?

    1. The numbers seem to be identical across the board (for capital blueprints), but they seem to be increasing slowly rather than just going from one value to another overnight. I'll probably do a post when they stabilize.

    2. It seems my NAV is up at least 5bil as well from this - and I was just preparing to sell the prints :) Guess will have to wait a month or so until researched BPOs prices catch up.

  4. I've noticed this recently as well gradually looking at various thing on the market that I traded just restocking some regions of items. And after doing a bit of random research on the market it seems that the increase is not only to Capital BPOs. But it seemed like across the board increase in all kind of BPO's that were increased in cost upward from 5-12% or so with the BC's from Teircide some their BPO's doubling over in cost.

    What was also affected it seemed noticing as well repurchasing some stock of Skill Books to resupply some my stations I noticed as well that Skill Books prices has also increased. And for the most part it seemed to affect the vast majority of Skill Books though not seem like the total 100% as some books at NPC Prices still seem to be the same before and after the recent patches. So best I know both BPO's and Skill Books were affected.

    A random check of some Starbase Structure BPO's show some BPO's for those remained unchanged best I can tell knowing what some item prices were before the change.
