Gooooooooooooooood Mooooorning PRAETOOOOORIANNNNNNNNS!!!
My fellow Elder Millennials and older will get that reference 😏
A lot has happened since last week, with most of the action happening in Plot 4 of Virren and in the Land Market on Peakmonsters!
Click the Flashback GIF below, to jump to last weeks post if you want a refresher:
Last week, we were touring the newly discovered Tract 04 in (R139) Virren and what can I say - a LOT of Plots have been Claimed and Surveyed since then!!
Let's start with a look at the Land Overview page of 
One of the main things to note is the lack of activity in the market for the last 24h, as seen in the top right...
Last week the 24h Volume was $2,238 vs the past 24h Volume of just $1,235. I suspect the falling Crypto Markets had a big part to play here and just wait until you see the Land Prices changes in the later section!

Ok ok ok - I know, you're not here for all this "Information"... You want to get out into the wild, see what's been uncovered and congratulate those who've made their claims!! So without further ado... LET'S GET TO IT AND GO LIVE IN PRAETORIA WITH FIELD MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
"Thank you Desk Me and thank you as always for the incredible introduction!! Another thank you, to the readers, for joining Field Me on another Adventure as we journey through the wilds of Praetoria to see what's been uncovered and meet the brave adventurers who are now proud owners of their claims!"
Let's head out into the field and see what we can find... hopefully none of those creepy crawly critters... although... on the other hand... I know what it means to claim an "Occupied" Plot... so best of luck on your infestation... gulp... into the field we go!!!!
As we approach (R139) Virren, I'd like to look at the overview and see how different it is from the previous Region; (R138) Shadowvale:
A few key things to note with (R139) Virren - While Hills (24.2%), Bog (21.3%) and Forest (15.6%) made up the majority of (R138) Shadowvale... Virren so far has been predominantly Badlands (37.43%) with River coming in 2nd (8%) and Swamp is 3rd with only (6.29%)... Shadowvale was lush and verdant compared to the Montana-esque Badlands of Virren...
With that being said, so far Virren has a LOT to be discovered and only time will tell what the eventual topography looks like... although there are clues on the map itself... 😉
There were no Tracts or Regions Claimed since last week and since we ended our journey on (R139) Virren, Tract 04 Plot 005. We shall resume our journey from there this week!!
Remember, T04, P005 is where we congratulated 
Ahh, we can see ndirish8988 is still hard at work building their Shard Mine!
Let us leave them to it and as we do, wish them best of luck as we being moving on from their Shard Mine construction site.
Coming up on our first NEW PLOT of the day... we see (R139) Virren: T04, P006 is owned by... 
P007 is also a (C) Natty Badlands but this one is owned by 
P008 is a (C)[N] Caldera, claimed by 
👀👀👀 Just look at all that Lava!!
I'm sorry Dr Evil but you're wrong... Once that Molten Hot Liquid Rock breaches the surface... the term is Lava... But thank you for the wonderful color commentary!
P009 is 
This week Sapper Claimed and Surveyed Plot 009 and it is yet another (C)[N] Baddy and they have a small Grain Farm working those fields! Gotta keep the workers fed!
Let's move on from P009 and see who has Claimed P010!!
Moving on to Plot 010...
P010 is a Rare Natural Caldera claimed by 
P011 is... a (C) Natty Caldera, congrats 
P012 is... well looky there!! It's ndirish8988 again!! This time they have surveyed a Rare Natty Caldera with a Grain Farm under construction to feed all the hungry hungry hippos... err workers.
Hahahaha ohhhhhh the nostalgia... would you just look at that vintage commercial... those were the days... 😭
Coming up to P013 we see ndirish8988 again and this time they're building a Shard Mine upon their newly Surveyed (C)[N] Baddy Plot! My guess is this is where those Grain Shipments will be going 😉
P014 is yet again, a (C)[N] Baddy Plot. This one has been claimed by 
P015 is OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!!
P015 is a Common OCCUPIED Tundra Plot, which is another Plot Claimed by ndirish8988!! Congrats on the FROZEN HORROR SHOW you've Claimed... Enjoy NOT SLEEPING at night with these abominations roaming around!! I'm sure they look at your Igloo like a delicious dessert: "Cold and crunchy on the outside. With a soft, warm, chewy filling!!"
I mean... I'm happy for you bro... but we're practically BFF's at this point... SO HOW ABOUT SOME WARNING NEXT TIME MY GUY!!! BLEHHHHHHHHHHHHHSFDGSDGSFS...
These things are just... hideous... I mean... Look at this flock of Demon Zubat lookin' ass boiz...
Congrats again bro but I'm gettin' tf outta here before I become a snack!
P016 is ANOTHER (C)[N] Badlands claimed by 
P017 is a (C)[N] Caldera owned by 
P018 takes us to another (C)[N] Caldera, with this one being another ndirish8988 Claim!! They're back for more Land in Virren and have left this one dormant for now!
See what I mean... Besties.
Awwwww... So wholesome 💝
Now... Here's an interesting development... or should I say LACK of it!!
The next 14 Plots. Stretching from T04, P019 to T04, P032 are all Claimed by 
I wonder what they're waiting for!! Who knows what's going on in their heads but I will keep tabs on their swath of unsurveyed plots for the latest developments!
Skipping to P033, 
I bet this one sells shortly and if you're looking for a well priced Rare Plot in Virren - this one might be for you!!
P034 in (R139) Virren; Tract 04 is... ANOTHER (C)[N] Baddy! Told you there was a lot of Baddies up in this mf'er...
This Baddy has been Claimed, Surveyed and Listed by... lmao... 
They currently have it on the market for 41.5k DEC which was a good price for last week but the markets have dropped since then... I think once we see a slight rebound, this will sell quickly!
P035 is... wait a minute...
nichtwiesie made the decision...? Perhaps? To skip a Plot... and then come back to Claim another Plot... This time yielding... ANOTHER Rare Natty!! What a move!!
Congrats on your (R)[N] Caldera!! This one is also up for sale at a very low price of 53,345k DEC!! Best of luck on your sale and I can't wait to see what's next!!
P036 is a (C)[N] Badlands, Claimed by 
Next up is P037 and that is a (C)[N] Caldera that was C/S/L by altf4killslag from previously - they also have it listed at 41.5k DEC which is a fairly competitive price but definitely above the floor price of (C)[N] Land right now.
P038 is a (C)[N] Canyon owned by 
P039 is around the corner and we see... OMG NO WAY!!!!
MY BESTIE NDIRISH8988 HAS COME BACK FOR MORE!!! THIS TIME CLAIMING AN EPIC NATTY CALDERA!!!
WHAT. A. FIND!!! Great job ndirish8988!! You dipped out and came back with a nice one!! You lucky dog you - got that Critter Farm (Occupied) earlier and now an Epic Natty!! Truly great work this week!!
P040 is... SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR!!! NDIRISH AGAIN!! This time Claiming a (C) Magic [Fire] Caldera!!! WOW!! What a week for you!!
P041 is... lemme guess... more ndirish??? Nope!! It's fuente100 coming back again and snagging a (C)[N] Caldera where they've managed to build a tiny Grain Farm...
How they've managed to grow Grain in Lava... beats me... but they're doing it!!
P042 belongs to 
P043 is also a mountainjewel find! This time they claimed a (C)[N] Caldera!! Also devoid of work, we'll keep any eye out for any developments!
P044 is next and that's cryptofrancois coming back to snatch another plot!! It too is a (C)[N] Caldera and they've got a tiny Shard Mine up an running already! They're extracting .235 SPS/h for 12k pp and that's not bad!!
P045 is another (C)[N]Caldera as expected and it's owned by 
Wait... what? What do you mean "As Expected"... How did I know what kind of Plot is was probably going to be??? Really?
If you haven't noticed yet, 
If you haven't noticed, the Land Plot/Tract/Region you survey is MADE UP OF THE LAND ILLUSTRATED BY NATE AND THE ART TEAM!!! Look at the MAP... The Plots to be discovered are IN A GIANT VOLCANO and thus... are probably going to be Calderas!!!
I'm also fairly confident any Magic Lands here will be Fire/Dragon/Death... BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE 🤣
Great job Nate, it's a small detail but it is AWESOME and I love it!!
P046 is ndirish again coming back to scoop a land but this time they grabbed one of those (C)[N] Badlands we've seen so much of! They're focusing they're work on the other plots while this one lays dormant.
P047 is ndirish again and they've found a (C)[N] Canyon (just like my lil ol' overworked Plot in (R102) Kithden!) - see what I mean... BESTIES!! We even have the SAME LAND PLOT TYPE!! #TWINSIES!!!
P048 is one of the final Plots for the week and this one is another (C)[N] Caldera but the owner is a new face here 
P049 is sapper11g again! They got a (C)[N] Caldera too and are building a tiny Grain Farm on it!! Nice work this week sapper11g, you're quickly growing your Land Holdings!!
P050 is our final Plot this week and it takes us to the HALFWAY mark in Tract 04 of (R139) Virren!!
Congrats on the Land thaag!! I'm sure you'll find a buyer soon!!
"That's all we have from the field today!! Let us go to "Market Me" at the 
Back in the studio... What do have for us today Financial Me??"
"Thanks Field Me... and thanks for joining Me today, for the Latest Land Market Updates!"
Let's dive right into it and take a look at the Land Market this week and see what has taken place since our last report!!
Coming to you live from the Peakmonsters Financial Desk, we have the latest Land Market Data for you!!

Wow - that's a sudden large supply increase in the availability of Common and Rare Natty Plots!! There are some steep discounts out there, especially on the Epic Natty's!! If you want in on the Land game... now might be a good time to snag a few Plots of any kind, to speculate on the future!
Let's move on to the Magical Land now and see what developments have taken place!

That's an interesting correlation and we'll keep... haha... an eye on it for you!!

Thank you 
That's it folks, we've reached the end of Land Update Episode 6!! I hope you enjoyed it as this is my FAVORITE article to write and I truly look forward to Sundays 😁
Thank you for joining me, here's the Tl;Dr for those who want the info without reading the story 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭:
- We are up to Plot 050 in (R139) Virren; Tract 04
- Nothing super crazy discovered so far but 14 Claimed Plots are left Unsurveyed!
- Land Markets are seeing large increases in supply across the board with exception of the Epic/Leggo Fancy Lands.
- I was right about the $1,337 being a DEAL on the Epic Occ Plot
- We are in Region 139 Tract 04 Plot 050... Which means we have 11 remaining Regions left... or 116 total Tracts... or only 11,555 remaining PLOTS!
- Land 2.0 will stir things up as only certain buildings can be build on certain land!! This is probably one of the driving factors behind Land Price volatility...
- Land Claims section updated and not much movement!
- Keep Prices are CLOSELY following SPS Price Action!!
Thank you for joining me, even those who skipped to the Tl;Dr at the end 😞
