I know this has been talked about a lot but I've just started producing Varasian Brandy and I dont' know what a fair price is to charge customers. I would just like some people to list what they would charge for a CRATE of Brandy That isn't BE-enhanced. ( I just want prices not explanations).


sorry...Maybe this can be the last post about this.

It really does depend on how the brandy turns out... strength, duration, uses... nobody can give a magic number just for a "crate of brandy", since there's a huge gulf in usefulness between a +150 and +225 batch...

The best way to price Chef food, on any server, is to figure out whatyou would be willing to pay for your crate, and then add 10k onto that. The reason I say to add 10k onto that, is because most people fail to realize that there are people out there that can easily make 100k an hour doing fun missions. Hardcore Chefs don't get that opportunity, and the new ones often sell themselves short (which is okay, its just a part of the learning process). Then, advertise your goods and note how fast they sell. If they sell out in the first three days, you may want to raise your price a little (up to you), or if at the end of the week you haven't sold any - then you may want to consider revising your advertisement tactics, or lower your price a little (up to you). And, finally - if you just want a general idea of what to price - look at what other Chefs on your server are charging, and try to stay within their ballpark.


That is the best answer that I can come up with - as I am certain that prices fluctuate between servers.

I'm still finalizing my pricing. I'm selling +370, 40m, 50 filling, 18-use crates of 25 currently at 350k on Bloodfin. I started at 200k, they sold out in hours. I've been upping it with each run to try and find that supply/demand equilibrium point.

I was looking for additive last night. One of our MBE friends who has the medium nutrition tissues asking 125k for each crate. Maybe your server is different then bloodfin.

Hence why prices of Brandy and Canape with additives are so expensive. Most of these people with cheap sales prices baffles me, although each server's economy and resource availability is different, the ones selling for extremely low cost on ours i just shake my head, i have gone round and round in price calculation and just see their business side on this, other then to pull customers and not make profit, but actually lose money.

Thanks to everyone who responded to this post...All of your input is greatly appreciated. And Creedon...I think the people with really low prices might just like meeting and helping new and interesting people so they lower their prices to accomplish this.


Personally All the brandy i've made so far (granted...it is pretty crappy compared to everyone else's here) i've given away to my fellow guildmates...I'm still learning and giving away brandy allows me to clear inventory and get started on a new batch. This allows me to learn more about how to make stuff using factories and the such.
