Not to worried about ever having even 300 vehicles on the vendor at any one time. As a matter of fact, I doubt we'll ever have more than 50, just for this reason. There is no doubt in my mind that a number of our vehicles will be re-sold, tho I do intend to limit it as much as humanly possible

My price will be 45k for all vehicles on Chilistra. I harvestor my own resources and have enough resources to sell at a price of 45k.


100k+ is too high for something that did not cost you to make. Except for what skill points just to make master artisan.


I am not taking any lost because it did not cost me anything to make. So 45k all around is a good price for the time spent in produce these vehicles.


10*45000= $450,000 credits. This is good enough for me.

I'm offering 5 cpu for mine and I'm getting advance orders already. I think a cpu number is fair b/c of the different resources required for each vehicle. I think 5 cpu is fair because it's just under 100% profit yet the crafter still makes a good deal of money on it.

This type of discussion has occurred before in the early days oflive servers. Architects in particular had a lot of discussion about pricing when the first Masters started popping up and selling guild halls. In the end all of those posts amounted to very little.


Only a very small fraction of players read these boards despite the excellent content to be found here. The great majority of people will be totally ignorant of whatever standards are set on these forums... and that assumes we as a group would ever be able to agree in the first place. Those non-forum readers will price as they see fit, and the market will dictate the success of those Master Artisans, which will result in a fairly regular standard pricing arising somewhere down the line.


So why even discuss it?

If people are willing to spend big money Im not going to get in there way. When mounts came out and people were selling them for 400k or 100k I didnt buy one I justed waited an extra day for the price to go down. To some people 400k is nothing and those are the people who Im looking for.

This is the exact reason our merchant will be on hand to ban anyone from the shop who starts mass purchasing vehicles. One per customer will be the rule, if you buy more than that, you can come back and pick up your order in a few days.
