Ya, I could sell houses or installations for 3, or 4:1, but frankly that is just not fun, it is work.

Better to collect rare or semi-rare resources and sell them to weapnsmiths/armorsmiths that can easily absorb 5-6:1.

It is not about greed, it is about fun. If I need to sell half or a third as much and make the same credits I can work half or a third as much. Working less means I get to have fun more.

For example rather than running around the galaxy for ore I spent a night on a hunting expedition to Yavin IV. Now I have enough skills to take out many of the mobs I used to run from. It is great.

Heck I have not even had an ore mine for 4 days and it does not slow my business down a bit.

I just wait till a good ones drops and have some fun hunting for it.

What can I say, the game is a heck of a lot of fun right now.

Hello all! I'm Ipasa Rovi (novice architect on starsider) I'm very concerned about the curennt economical situation... I've created the crafter's alliance. Please look at my thread and respon to it. Much more information is in the thread I'll re-post as soon as it goes to the third page, but for now it's almost right at the top of the list! In short: our goal is to fix the economy once and for all.... with all of us together! Someone replied to this topic saying that we should ban together.... I find that very amusing because that's exactly what we're doing! Please look at my post (only one by me on here) and pledge your loyalty to the cause. It will help us all... thank you for your time!

Holy freakin cow. I've been buying these for 40k or so.

What is wrong with you people??

I'm a master armorsmith and picked up the profession to make factories and harvesters because it's often difficult to find sellers, even at above market rates.

I wouldn't sell one of these pups for less than 100k. I know you can't really sell for that. But if ever a profession needed to band together into guilds and pricefix, it's this one. Good grief! No wonder I can't find any sellers.

Yeh, tell me about it !! I have a good resource flow and sell factories at 65K each. I can usually make em for people in a day. I am on Natarius

Moglie

Oh and look for the requirements for a PA hall!! Over 50K in resources alone not to mention the failures. Just so you know :

Medium Tatooine house = 20600 resources

Large Tatooine house = 37334 resources

PA Tatooine hall = 55768

Large harvestors are in line with a large house. I sell all my stuff for 3cr per resource , I think that is VERY VERY fair, but people still scream at me "ARE YOU NUTS YOUR WAY OVER PRICED I CAN GET IT AT 1/2 PRICE". Well thats life as long as people sell our stuff for peanuts then we are screwed

That's just unbelievable to me.

There is no way you can sell any of this without harvesting yourself. And frankly, you can sell the minerals you're collecting for more than charging assembled. No wonder I'm seeing architects move wholesale into mining. What's the point?

Yep, the only architects who are sticking it out are the ones who love it or the ones who Role Play it. From a pure financial point architecture makes ALOT less money than miners.

Truth be told, maybe I'll drop my architect points and do something else anyway.

If you're going to sell your stuff at or below cost, not much point in me collecting all the stuff to do it.

Yeah that's why I don't make buildings anymore unless specifically inquired about. Plus now I just use 10 cpu. That would put factories at about 135K. Nobody buys from me but I don't really care. I use my resources differently anyway. *shrug*

You cannot give factories away fro 30,000 credits on Valcyn. The economy is warped and so ispeoples knowledge about what Architects must use in recipes. I just craft for my PA now.

I sell structures for 6 credits per resource and furniture for 8 credits per resource. I think the prices are fair (and consistent). If prices for resources were lower, I'd lower prices, but having only myself and a business partner to help harvest takes time and money.

I build for my PA only and they get a great deal on prices. I look to cover my costs and then make a small profit for my time. I also could care less if I build for anyone outside my PA. In fact, I can name on one hand how many structures I have built for anyone outside my PA in the last 3 weeks. And quite frankly I could care less. The only time I will build something is when I get my price and that's a minimum of 6 cr per unit, and much higher for complicated builds.

I get a ton of "you're nuts" responses when I tell them my price.

Oddly enough, the economy on Valcyn is better than most servers, since it is much younger. I sold three factories at 30K last week, and a couple heavy harvesters. However, I think architects have about hit "the wall," where everyone has the installations, furniture, and houses they want, on Valcyn.
