Anyone have any thoughts on what the pricing should be on the new foods? I admit, I'm lazy and always referred to someone else's nice spreadsheet for my prices.

I am basically charging the same as I used to (a per dose cost system based on resources)



The only change for me is adding in the cost for containers and BE additives when used.

What would you charge for a crate of regular Vasarian Brandy made with casks and a crate of Vagnerian Canape and a crate of Synthsteak? I've got some orders but not sure about the price yet.

Production cost for a crate of Vasarian Brandy using casks and 5cpu is 33750 credits (including trim at 150 per). For the steaks the production cost per crate is a whooping 5625 at 5cpu.


I'll probably start the non-BE Brandy at about 45-50k. I have steaks up for sale at 15k a crate right now and just realized that may be a bit expensive


Being an Architect my numbers might be a bit low in comparison though

I'm charging 500 per dose on the brandy and I can't keep it in stock. My synth steaks aren't selling so well thought and I've cut the prices on them.

I'm also going to cut my synthsteak prices, but they're selling like hotcakes at 50k a crate, seriously

I started out charging 1k per dose of Vasarian Brandy and completely sold out in a couple hours.


+408 MFW for 33mins in casks 21 doses per stack. Full crate 525 doses.


21k per stack of 21.

crate of 5 with 105 doses - 105k


First factory run completely sold out. Second factory run already preorder sold out.


Going to raise the price.

For my enhanced Brandy I am charging the same thing Bear does.

I agree with Bear's pricing on the Brandy.


Think of it this way. When used properly, a player who plays 4 hours a day and has a crate of Vasarian Brandy Casks (BE enhanced) can walk around for two+ weeks without EVER having less than +800 to all three mind stats. This should be VERY expensive stuff.



Now - apply similar logic to the Assembly Bonus cake item. If you were an armorsmith about to do a final combine on a piece of RIS armor, how much would you pay for an item that can give you a +14 bonus to assembly for that combine? I say 10k per use, considering you will sell that armor for 10 million.

Bear, obviously with BE component. I'd have to go along with this pricing, its a pain the reario


However I think the BE component shouldnt make such a huge difference, makes them absolutely necessary if you want to make any half decent foods. IMO the BE bonus should be 25% extra, not the current level, doubling your final product quality. I'm not saving never the max we can have, but perhaps make non BE items more worthy.

when I can get the BE stuff, espically to double the buff effect I'm doubling my prices and then adding a bit more to make it a round number. I was able to get a sample BE additives pack from my BE friend and I know what to get now.


1k per dose with a BE additive is my minimum price.

Bear's Prices are entirely to low. I do not think you guys relize that is the only food that buffs those stats that well. I WILL BE SELLING MY STACKS OF 21 FOR 100-150K PER CRATE. I am not sure you relize the cost of that gemstone. I am here to make money and I am not sure about the rest of you but i am not going to go broke giving food away. Also I am a BE and I can get my brandy up to +415, I will be selling those crates for 750k each and I have a full order sheet now. You people really need to think how much these resources are costing you before you price your stuff too low and put us all in the poor house. Is there now one else who feels this way.
