Thread: Method for pricing
My pricing formula goes like this: ((Total buff) / 10 + (Average duration) / 5) X 1 + (.1 for each experimenting point used in Quantity). I also generally give a 25% discount on crated items (except for Sunburns which get "only" a 20% discount).When listing on the bazaarI also add my bazaar listing price (which is 12 credits; love that Efficiency skill from Merchant
).
I sell my unexperimented wastrils and meatlumps on the bazaar for 50 creds a use (generally 150 or 200 then) and they sell within 2 days. SInce I only have mix I, the two experiment points I have from novice usuallydo notdo too much.
5K for 25x7 pet food? Excellent! I just loaded a 9 stack bofa schem in the factory with enough wheat to make 40 crates. I was wondering if 2250 was going to be too much. ![]()
While grinding up, I sold most everything I made. No reason to wait. My charge was a flat 50 per use. I didn't add anything to the price because I was putting it on the bazaar. I never had anything that didn't sell. After you get to master or start creating better things, you will have to go by what you believe your items are worth. I personally go by resources for the most part and what I have to pay for them while adding in what I have to spend on factory time. None of which will be the same for any person on any given server. It is about the market and what you have to buy from resource vendors and what you pay for meat. When I am given meat by my guildies or sometimes by my buyers, I always make sure to give them something extra so that they are compensated for their time.I hope this helps you with your pricing. Good luck getting to master.
