Compared to infinity, it's expensive, but different servers seem to have different prices. I find the best indication of how your prices compare are your customers. If they are still buying, you're fine. If you've not sold a crate in a week, you might want to revise them some.

I use a set CPU per resources and then a set profit.

if you harvest your resources your prices are expensive. if you buy your resources toa player i think you can find someoneelse withlower prices.



for example i'm selling my brandy21 uses 120k the crate for my guild and 150k in my vendor.(i harvest all the resources ; just buy the crystalline gemstone 4cpu max)


however i'm selling my no Be brandy 30 k like you

But what is the buff and duration of your brandy? Prices do differ from server to server and on Kauri, yours seem to be pretty good I guess. My brandy is +424 45m 21use 49 filling and would never sell it that low. I'm still working on pricing though and its cool to see what everyone sells for.

I was a master chef on naritus a month ago and made brandy at +389/ about 45 min/ 18 uses/ 52 fill (which i know doesn't allow you to stack immediately) and i had trouble selling them to anyone for 150K, but...... I could sell them like hotcakes on the bazaar for $6k each. 6 X 25 per crate= $150k imagine that. I think part of the problem is that there aren't many "high-end" players on my server.


Just my random input.

spend 1 or 2 pts for the filling


with 52 filling your customers can't drink 2 brandy

I just did a price revamp myself. I am trying cpu marked up to nearest 100 or such. For items that sell fast, those I am not using a CPU otherwise I'd be standing at a factory all day long. I didn't include specific stats in the spreadsheet as I don't have the time and usually each run has slightly different stats. I used sciguy's spreadsheet and just added price for non BE and BE.

Your prices are close to mine on most things. Sythsteak is the only major one cheaper.


The major difference from yours to mine is the duration and fillings. Most foods that you have a 30+ duration I took them to 45ish. Most foods that can go to 33 filling I took them down to 33. Brandy, Ahrisa, Canape are the major ones. But my buffs are very similar to yours as well.


That could be completely based on resources though. I don't know what your spawns of flora have been like.


IMO the durations on some of the foods really hurts you. I wouldn't buy brandy that I couldn't get a constant buff with taking 2 doses.
