Thread: How do you price looted schematic requests?

I know the answer to this will vary greatly from one server to another, but I was just curious what you all charge if somebody grabs you in town (or wherever), after seeing the architect tag over your head, and asks you if you would craft an item from a schematic they looted?


Personally it depends on my mood and how busy I am. Sometimes I will tell them I'll just charge them by the cpu (10cpu or so) for whatever resources it takes me to craft it. That's a lot more than I charge for non-looted furniture, but I figure a fair price to pay for making me stop whatever I am doing to help them out, especially since most of these schematics are single-use now. Sometimes though, I'll just tell them they can tip me whatever they feel is fair, or I'll let them trade me something for it. I'm usually happy to help out because I tend to make a lot of new repeat customers this way.


What about the rest of you?

I've only been asked a couple times. I think I charged 5k or 10k. Basically I'd equate it to slicing or a doc buff as far as effort / cost on our part.

I'm a little bit bitter about these so I'm not really interested in helping other people make money off of them.


I charge 100k to assemble them for anyone or I'll do it for free if they give me a 2nd schematic.

Hehe, it seems that I've been vastly undercharging for this service. I get asked to do this all the time by strangers who see my Master Architect tag.
