Let's do some unscientific math.

Since an one element monster on the regular island cost 300 coins, there is no basis for using it as a comparison in computing diamond costs. So, let's use a two element monster from one of our five original islands for our ratio comparison and computation

A two element monster costs 30 diamonds. Assuming that compares to an one element Ethereal which costs 1000 diamonds.

Now, if a three element monster costs 50 diamonds. That is approximately 60% increase in cost.

That means a two element Ethereal should cost around 1600 diamonds.

If a four element regular monster is 3x the cost of the two element regular monster we are using for comparison, that means a three element Ethereal should cost three times as much or approximately 3000 diamonds.

What will a four element Ethereal cost? 5000 diamonds? 10,000 diamonds?

Of course I realize my logic does not apply in this comparison situation...but what if it did?!
