Been gone for a while. What's changed?

Hey all I ended up taking like a year long break (due to accidentally registering my account onto another phone so I couldn't really play...)
But after finally buying a new phone I'm back on fantasica

My biggest question is just to know what's changed since I've stopped playing
(Idk what the event was called but I got 5* Therese in the last event I played)

I know 7* and 8* are a thing now, but has the economy or game changed much since I was gone? Like are people still trading for feeders/event boost cards? Is it any easier to get 6*s now?

Thank you in advance :>

The prices dropped quite a bit, 6*s went to 5* price, 5*s went to 4* price. And so on.
You can use fantasitrade.com for a quick price reference.

5* max feeders are around 2-3TE each

6*s now are extremely easy to get, just need to save a few potions from a few training events or so and viola~

Also TE to Pot ratio changed, its about roughly 10:9 or something now, just poke around '3'
There's been quite a bit Potion based events lately

ahh thank you so much :>
is getting a 7* pretty much just hoping for the best in card packs? (I don't think I'll ever get event 7*s if they're like getting 6*s back when I last played)

7* and 8* only appear on event packs, which you can only draw with money.

While 6* have fallen in price, their difficulty to get in events still remain the same, with a few exceptions on some events (there was a training event where they made the main boss really weak and the 6* was placed at a very low requirement, which allowed free players to get her). 7* are almost impossible without either money or a godly ammount of resources, while the 8*... you'll need even more money. As in hundreds.

The feeder market has taken a hit and is currently at a dip, because Fanta was giving out hundreds or even a couple of thousand (mostly) 4* as reward units through M Tickets. And the extremely easy boss in the training event Vaati mentioned (Voleur) was also an easy way to lvl all your cards. I think every (semi) serious player was/is near up to date with maxing or mlb-ing their units.

On the positive note many old le 4* are now easily traded for common 6*s. I've gotten a few 6*s for 4*s of late;)

And the bad news is, some units especially 8*s or maybe some 7*s are untradeable so you've missed a lot of things when you left the game for a long time.
