As I look at the other server's vendors I see that they are charging about 5kish per stack. I have a hard time keeping my vendors full with CMs that I price at 30k a stack. Just for reference, average stats on non-enhanced poison singles are 160%, 346eff, 269dur,40r, 55mu. I made a factory run of 500 poisons/diseases and sold out in two weeks. I just find it very intriguing that in comparison to other servers...

The weapons on other servers are priced higher than wanderhome's, as is armor with the same stats comparitably

Food sells higher, generally speaking

Yet the CMs of wanderhome sell at an average price of 25-30k a stack. And do fairly well monetarily speaking.

Granted there are only a handful of CM vendors out there, and at one point I was the only one crafting. To me, these principals of supply and demand, monopolies, macroeconomics, etcjustintrigue meso much. This would make for a great project ina business class: studying the economics between different servers but utilizing the same products.

It also makes me take a step back and actually admire the game and its community. I mean, simply put, the devs tossed us out there with nothin but out noob melons and we have grown so much. Its amazing that the servers are similar in some aspects but completely different in others.

I dunno, just something that wanted to share and felt that my CM brethren would also understand as well, because we all know that CM > All

I tend to agree with you, it is a fasinating subject.

The CM market has ALWAYS been a niche market. If there were more then a few vendors it could easilly saturate themarket. CMs (and all medical vendors) do have one advantage, we deal completely in consumables, they will usually need more.

Yep people can go through poisons and other meds faster then armor and weapons unless they go in the DWB.

I think it probably is that there aren't many of us crafting on WH. You and I are the only long term CM crafters (You never actually were the only one, you just didn't know about me). I started at low prices and gradually increased them. I'm a believer in supply and demand, so I'll keep charging what people will pay.
