I'm going to keep this real simple. Here is what I think you should price your crafted structure items at and why.

5 times the number of resources it takes to build said item. That is it very simple.

Why is because:

1) All other crafter are making no less than that per resource for thre crafted items and most make 10-25 credits per resource, and if they are making less than 5 credits per it is because they are despriatly trying ot get every bit of UXP they can as quick as they can and will more than likely change there price when they get the skill they want.

2) At very minumum it cost .5 credits per resource to use a harvestor to get resources, and a more reasonable expect tation is 1 credit for low grade which is hard to find at over 60% If you intend to build only using harvestors you can probly expect to maintain 10 harvestors and maybe make 2 buildings a day if they are small, and have no house of your own.

3) In a day a comabt profession can make 20k easy, I ahve meet a few taht are already making 40k a day, So (see above) if your going ot sell one or 2 houses a day shouldn't you make at least 40k.

4) All other professions that I have spoken to, weaponsmith, tailor, armorcrafter, are making 30k a day ore more and spending alot less time doing it, and alot less resources.

So 20k for a small house is a very fair price considered the time involved, and the other factors, and don't let anyone bully you down unless they are a friend

Completely agree with that. Why shouldn't we get the correct amount for our labors?

Because there is no way to enforce any pricing scheme, which means as soon as a giant group of 95% of the game's Architects decide to unionize or collude or whatever you want to call it, and set prices for all small houses to be 20k, that leaves the market open to the other 5% who sell their houses for 15k.

medics do not get paid that much and they are really just an offshoot of artisan.

The main thing that I'm having a problem with is people selling for less than 10k come on are you that desperate? When I see anyone selling for that amout I just offer to buy up all tehre stock, so if 95% of us say that 20k is the price and we buy fro the otehr 5% then 20k will be the price that John Doe pays and then all the other John Does will expect tot do the same after all how can that 5% offering them for 15k posibly keep up witht the demand?

Oh and I'm not trying to say that copetion is a bad thing but if a small few drive the price down to less than what I can make sellign the resources to that other crafter (armorsmiths, weaponsmiths, and tailors, and all the other people that need resources) then why be an architect at all I ask you!

yep. i was hoping to finally sit back and enjoy the game, not have to do the made"beta grind' to max out the profession to test stuff. olooks like if i take my time advancing thru architect i will be out in the cold with no customer base or name recognition.

also if you see some 'moron' selling his house for 8k or anything less than 15-20k BUY IT and resell it!

I say 5-8 credit per resources as some resources are hard to find. You need alots of time and efford. Also if you comission someone to scan for you. That added to your cost.

So a small house would go for nothing less than 23-25.

If others selling lower than that, what I do is sell one credit per resources/house on a personal basic. Soon all player will come to me and the rest of the architect on the server to either match or die.

That what I will do if they sell below 20K

The main reason that a handful of builders are putting them at less than 10k is for the UXP... So if you plan on buying thr houses from them and destroying it weill defeat their plan and eventually they'll realize their mistake. They will probably raise prices later anyways, but are wanting that little boost in UXP - so by denying them that, you'll get the sales that end up providing UXP and they'll get low funding and no UXP.

If you were on my server, I'd match or beat that in a heartbeat.

Be glad you're not on my server then, Xiet... Because I'd just have all my friends offer to buy your houses and then resell them. You'd go broke in no time.

Like I mentioned in your other thread, LstlnSpc, there is no reason to be rude to your fellow Architects. You're really turning into a board troll. You obviously do not value your time or your investment.

Let us discuss this. I don't believe in price fixing. I do believe there should be a low point Architects should not cross in selling their wares. We're trying to ascertain that limit here. I'm going to sell for 25-30k. If I lose sales to that, so be it, that is what I deem my time worth. 8k is just ripping off the rest of us, who probably trained you in different skills and helped you get where you're at in one way or another.

I have not been trained by any architects. And plus, I am not selling for 8,000 cr. I sell for 15. 25 is too high... And selling at a price I want to is not ripping off other architects... And I am not being mean to them. If the other Architects are cool as people, I'm nice to them. But if they're gonna get in my face about selling stuff too low and start telling me I'm ruining "their" economy. Thats dumb. Maby if you told me, hey people are buying them off the wall for 20k, I'd say wow I can sell them for 20k easily I'll do that. You people decide oh we should not go below this ammount and you are ruining the economy if you do. 1 person will never ruin your economy. And my last post was just stating that if you did go to that all time you would go to, I would have no problem matching you. You need to realax. I'm not being mean to any architects.

It would be mean if I directly stole sales right as they were about to make them for higher but I'm not. And I'm not choosing prices just to stop others from selling for their higher prices. I'm selling for 15k because thats what I need.
