gollark: Arguably, anything longer than about 35G is rarer than... a lot of rares, I guess?
gollark: Value drops exponentially after CB - unless it's a really rare thing like a prize - until you get to stupidly high generations, at which point it shoots up again.
gollark: There's a weird value curve for dragons, I think.
gollark: Wow, okay then.
gollark: Also, is it just me or have there been lots of CB Thunders about in the Desert?
