Market Update: Paper & Wood Explosion Shakes the Economy! [11/06/26]

DAAPJune 10, 2026economy

Hi eco players of War Era,

 

In case you missed our last summary from yesterday: https://app.warera.io/article/6a2863860ac9bbfe8a6491d2

 

I hope the latest game updates didn't give you a heart attack! The surprise rollout of brand-new products today took me a bit longer than expected to fix the code and implement new features. Now that the tool is updated, here is your daily summary of market profitability and wage updates:

 

Figure 1: Product profitability summary, sorted by peak Profit per PP (UTC +8)

 

Mysterious Plant has officially dropped back down into the bottom third of the rankings due to Singapore’s deposit fully depleting earlier today. However, two massive new players have entered the arena: Paper and Wood.

 

Initial demand for these new materials is abnormally high, sending their price tickers straight into the clouds. At a market price of 0.106 BTC, Wood’s Profit per PP is currently sitting at a staggering 0.165 BTC/pp. Paper is performing even better, drawing a price of 0.232 BTC and delivering a peak Profit per PP of 0.197 BTC/pp at the moment.

 

Because Wood is the direct raw material required to manufacture Paper, and Paper serves as the core driving factor for countries to set battle orders, maintain strategic alliances, and change domestic laws, these two products are going to see massive demand over the coming days.

 

At the same time, the foundational industrial materials (Iron, Lead, Limestone and Steel) are following closely behind the new meta.

  

Top Six Products in Profit per PP (Passive AE Income)

For corporate owners running low-maintenance setups with zero manual workers, or those looking to calculate the best gross break-even baselines for new hires, these are today's premier options:

  • Paper (Türkiye): 0.197 BTC/pp

  • Wood (United States): 0.165 BTC/pp

  • Iron (Egypt): 0.131 BTC/pp

  • Lead (Chile): 0.131 BTC/pp

  • Limestone (Iraq): 0.131 BTC/pp

  • Steel (South Africa): 0.131 BTC/pp

Thanks to the immense market prices of the new items, Paper and Wood completely monopolise the top seven slots of the net wage calculations. Prices might cool off rapidly once supply stabilises, so be highly strategic about where you locate your active worker companies right now.

Outside of the new meta, it is well worth noting that Chile has begun deep specialisation in Lead, pushing it to the highest net wage tier available for legacy products.

 

Top Four in Top Wages After Tax

For employers who want to retain full fidelity workers by providing premium net wages while safeguarding their profit margins, these are today's premier operational hubs:

  • Paper (Türkiye): 0.184 BTC/pp (Aided by 56% Production Bonus)

  • Paper (Latvia): 0.168 BTC/pp (Aided by a 35% Production Bonus)

  • Wood (United States): 0.158 BTC/pp (Aided by a 56% Production Bonus)

  • Lead (Chile): 0.133 BTC/pp

 

 

Quick Guide: How to Read the Metrics

(For a deeper dive, check out my previous comprehensive guide https://app.warera.io/article/6a2083b59edd383ac9d963a7.)

1. Profit per PP (New Workers' Gross Break-Even): Dictates your raw margin when utilising Automated Engines (AE) without workers. Higher on the list = better passive returns. 

2. Old Workers’ Top Gross Wages: The break-even ceiling for full-fidelity workers (stayed for 10+ days). Use this to progressively scale up your new hire wages to maximise employee retention.

3. Top Wages After Tax (Old Workers’ Top Net Wages)

  • For Bosses: The absolute maximum net wage you can offer without running a deficit. Excellent for scouting company relocation regions.

  • For Workers: A benchmark to check if your current employer is paying you fairly, or if it's time to switch sectors.

 

Reminder: Both Figure 1 and Figure 2 are real-time market snapshots. Because the game economy fluctuates constantly, these numbers will continue to shift.
