And it's time to try something besides price-fixing! You can't price-fix when people have incentives to break the deal. The incentive is XP, which all Novice Archs need, and you can't change that. That's the main issue, and this is my suggestion:

We Masters need to start taking on *real* apprentices, not just the fake garbage we do in ten seconds to train someone. When you have 5 or 10 similar walls to make, don't run your factory! Find a Novice and give them the material. Let them create the walls for you and let them get the XP you were about to waste in your factory. And, as you hand them the materials, remind them that Novices that sell for really stupid low prices that are way below the cost of the materials are not the sort of Novices that you'll ever help again.

That's it. I'm already doing it on Lowca. It works. At least, my apprentice has stopped shouting "5K for a small house" for a few minutes. And if I keep giving her walls to make, maybe she'll stop for good.

Thats a good idea but it dosent fix the problem the novice architacts need money to run there harvesters and buy resources of the bazzar. right now my main problem is money and thats the main reason ill sell houses for 5k

I am doing that somewhat. I actually just buy wall modules offa novice architect. Actually I buy a lot of my components off of several different people. I have 2 artisans making me components, a DE for droid storage compartments and 2 other novice architects making me wall modules and whatever else I may need to get. I even bought some power core units off of someone and look to buy other components as well. I try to spread the business and the wealth around.

I buy wall modules off new architects at 3cr a resource (9k per wall). Gives them harvester money AND xp.

Speaking of which, my last supplier hit master a couple days ago...any new architects on Bloodfin want to earn some cash?

I already do the same thing on Eclipse, i have 5 hardworking architects in various stages who bring me walls and 1 fine gentlebeing who has reached master and finally set out on his own )) Feel free to contact me on Eclipse if you would like to work out a similar agreement.

I had an interesting conversation the other day when someone sent me a tell asking for a house, they said people had stopped responding to thier tells and they had raised the price they were willing to pay 'all the way up to 10k!' I just had that warm feeling in my heart as I replied that I would be pleased to make a small house for 20k but that I understood if they wanted to wait for a better price as they worked hard for their money and deserved the very best they could get. I didn't end up selling them a house but they did stop my my furniture shope and spend almost 30k on furniture haha Just no understanding some people I tell you

im an architect on Kauri (novice) who would be more than happy to sell masters the pieces they need. name is Oaka
