We don't even understand enough about the system to determine the effort needed.

this is by no means a set price, asthe market doesnt even exist yet, but this is what i came up with in my head. still ironing out the forumula, but when i dofinally decideim gonna make a prog where i can punch in the CL and it will tell me the exact price i want to charge.


price=5000


if(CL>5) price = CL * 1000 + **bonus**


bonus:



if(CL>=30) price+=(CL-20-(CL%10))*1000



if(CL>=55) price+=10000+((CL%10)*1000)



if(CL>=65) price+=10000


(i know im using George Dubbaya math,forgive me...)


avoiding math,my basic idea for price ranges per CL are the following:


CL 1-9 -> 5-9k


CL 10-19 -> 10-19k


CL 20-29 -> 20-30k


CL 30-39 -> 40-50k


CL 40-49 -> 60-70k


CL 50-54 -> 80-90k


CL 55-59 -> 95-105k


CL 60-64 -> 110- 120k


CL 65-69 -> 125-135k


CL 70-> 140k



basically my prices will range from 5k for 0-5 CL pets up to 140k for CL 70 pets with a steady increase in price based on CL to compensate for the risk involved in collecting the DNA to make stronger creatures... and ive been thinking about giving myself a bonus for hitting the exact target CL. i dont think i will need to change my prices since i only serve a very exclusive group of people and my creatures will all be custom made for custom orders. im sure people will pay much much more, probably upwards of a mil for the first badass BE pets, but i think these are reasonable prices that reflect the risk involved with the job, especially if you are wearing armor and have to worry about expensive decay.

SOF - with a formula like that, would you take into consideration a creature's specific resists/armor and special attacks? I.E. would you price two lvl 50 pets differently depending on their nuances?
