I'm a fairly new MAS and was wondering what is a good method of selling armor on a vendor.


Should i sell it


1 - in a backpack for 1 price. Then put 1 suit out displayed (for 100 million a piece to avoid people buying it) so people can see what they're buying.


2 - sold piece by piece.

* Should i sell each piece for different amounts. Example: Chestplate - 10k, bracer - 5k, etc.

* Should I sell each piece for the same amount.


Any feedback is appreciated.

I do both. Sell armor in a bag at a certain price, and then armor individually. The way i decide the price for the individuals is i add up all the intrusive ore used in one suit. (or whatever type of armor your making the key ingredient resource) then i take the individual resources use of that intrusive and divide it by total so i get a percentage. I then multiply that percentage by my price for the Bags. Then i have a fair price (sometimes i round up because you can when you sell armor individually, but never more then 50k rounding per suit)


If that didnt make since here is an example:


Composite armor uses 515 Intrusive ore.


a chest uses 100 Intrusive ore.


100/515= .19


I sell my bags at 350k, so 350000*.16= 66500, so id sell the piece for about 70k


thats just how i do it

I sell by the piece and whole sets. I use the number of segments as the multiplier, similiar to the previous post. So a chest piece uses 4 segments, price would be 4/21 of the full suit. Something like that anyway, I don't have my spreadsheet with me
