i would have to guess those stats are non advanced armor. so the total cost would be cheaper t omake. but a full suit of composite armor in raw componet cost is about 150k not counting time to assemble, nor factory power/maint use.

A full suit of 3-kinetic layered advanced composite armor takes 210 hides and 5167 other resources. At a price of 50 cpu for hides and 10 cpu for other resources, the raw component cost of a full suit is about 62 k.

Oh and if you have your own harvesters (1cpu) and contratcs with people to collect hides for you (say 10 cpu), the raw component cost of a full suit is about 7 k. Multiply that with the greed factor and you can sell for 500 k or more.

You have to compute the price of your resources at the market price not the price it cost you to get them.

I was not pricing my cost. I merely responded to someone who stated that it the raw component cost for a composite suit is150 k. I think that the raw cost is somewhere between 5 and 75 k depending on what you buy and/or harvest yourself. What you add for harvester/factory maintenance and profit is totally your business. However, I still think that selling for 500 k or more is ridiculous, whether people buy for that much or not.

My composite armor is 77% elec, 80% kinetic, 64% base on the resistance made armor and 74% elec, 77% kinetic, 61% - 62% base on the encumbrance made armor. Each item is sliced and the armor sells according to resists.

Prices start at 70% base and add 1k to the price for each stat above 70 and each stat above 80 is 2k added to the price.

Bracers and Biceps start at 20k

Gloves and Boots - 25k

Leggings and Helmet - 30k

Chestplate - 35k

225k for a sliced suit of composite isnt that bad in my book.

I know it's a lot.

But at that price I have around 30%, maybe 40% of the armor business on my server ( I sell btw 150 and 200 pieces a day).

Funny thing is I have 185k non layered 55% composite on vendor. And the more time pass the less I seel, people want the 500k stuff....

I could drop prices but then I would have to do one of three things :

- Stop sleeping in rl

- Resolve myself to have vendors sometimes not stocked

- Spend less time with my other half in game...

Neither of the 3 are very appealing....

What he was trying to say is that it's fair to calculate the raw material cost on how much you'd get for selling the resources instead of making a product out of them. Anything less than that is charity imo, and that's not bad at all. But I wouldn't call anyone who priced their armor based on the price of the materials greedy.

That's why I think it's ok to charge 550K for a Low Ham 80/80/71 (unsliced suit) while someone else charge 250K for a High Ham 80/78/68.

Prices have btw dropped A LOT on Bloodfin the last month.

Oh my god - 1.2 mil for a suit.....

Helm /Pants --- 171,500
Chest --- 228,500
Bracer --- 114,500
Bicep --- 114,500
Gloves --- 57,500
Boots --- 114,500

total cost 1.2 mill unsliced, and lifetime free repairs using 99 % repair kits.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I charge by the segment for the stuff I sell - 9k per segment for 60% base 80% kinetic, so costs come to...

Helm /Pants --- 27,000
Chest --- 36,000
Bracer --- 18,000
Bicep --- 18,000
Gloves --- 9,000
Boots --- 18,000

189,000 for the whole setup - and I am lucky if I sell a suit a day from my vendor - that has around 40 suits in stock...

No kidding I've never had much over 500K at any given time and I have played for many months. I never realized the prices were so different server to server.

I see someone selling a 55% base 63% elec, 60k a set

is that not ruining market?

Hehehe thats my armor and i'm making about 20k profit per suit. And yeah thats pretty damn cheap, but its unlayered and I thought the n00bs should have a shot at comp armor with the rest of us. So i'm still making money and somewhat new players can afford good armor. I live in a server of greed, but its just a game and I want everyone to have fun ^_^
