Thread: Smuggler's Guide to Selling Faction Points v1.3 by Dreven
It worked pretty well, as a Rebel selling at 100 per point back in the day (along with Caylin and Signosis), if you needed 10k FP, just /tip me 1-mil creds and I would run my macro until my credit balance had an additional 156k creds in it.
Easy creds...

Long time smuggler here, first time faction seller.
I'll be reaching the rank of Colonel in a matter of missions, and was just wondering what the bare minimum was for an Imperial Smuggler to sell faction points to guild members at no profit.

94.6 creds per point is "cost" for imperial faction. (80 x 1.18)

is this amount being taken out of your cash or bank account when you donate??
Well, I finally got around to testing that ratio for Staff Corpral, Dreven. I tested it on my noob friend which made him very happy, especially when I told him aproximately what the price per point would have been if I hadn't been using him as a test dummy.
I transfered fp in lots mutliplied by 10 starting with 1. So I transfered 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 3, 30, 4, 40, 5, 50, 6, and 60. I figured I had enough at that point and was running low on fp so I called it good. When I calculated out the ratios, I got some wierd results. They are, going down the line, 1:4, 1:3.4, 1:3.34, 1:3.5, 1:3.35, 1:3.33repeating, 1:3.33repeating, 1:3.5, 1:3.35, 1:3.4, 1:3.34, 1:3.33repeating, ans 1:3.33repeating. Obviously the multiplier is getting rounded but how it's being handled flys right over my head. I surmise, the actual multiplier is 3.33repeating. For eas of calculation though, a good number would be 3.34.
I'm a Staff Corporal and it's 3.35:1 I think... Can't remember, but I was shocked when I saw that it cost over 300 to send 100...

Can someone doublecheck the ratios for the ranks BELOW Sergeant?
I realize this would require some cost to the guys with lower ranks, but the most reliable way to get this information is to test it by /delegating 100 points to somebody.
For instance: Corporal and Staff Corporal are both listed as 4:1.
I'm sure Staff Corporal is probably more along the lines of 3.xx:1...but don't know for sure. If you only /del 1 to test, the system probably rounds to 4...so to get an accurate ratio, you need to /del at least 100.
Anybody up for the task?
I'd do it, but I'm already up to Master Sergeant again...
