Thread: What extra to charge for sockets?

50-100cr per socket?



I know it will vary depending on server since some servers prices are 10x resource etc while others seem to be .002x resource.



Just looking for general thoughts on adding cost to an item that has sockets. Standard price doesn't seem right to me. If I did that then everyone would expect sockets in their clothes and the prices of standard items would plummet...which would not be good.

I don't think its right to charge for sockets. Heres why: 99/100 items I make are socketed. If someone weren't willing to pay the extra price it'd be HARDER for me to fill his order then if he wanted 4 sockets. If they drastically reduce the amount of socketed clothing made I'd be happy, and I'd charge extra.

I have to agree with Sangreal. At Tailoring 4, not only is everything I make socketed, about 85% of it has 4 sockets. Doesn't seem right to charge extra for that.

Definitely. Sockets are just icing on the cake.


I would only charge extra if someone specifically requested 4 sockets on a piece of clothing.

Just a thought... who needs 4 sockets anyway? I mean I guess that will be their favorite shirt after putting 4 skill enhancers in it.. but really does anyone have 4 skill enhancers that aren't crap? I've seen a bunch of +1, and happen to be holding on to a +9 steady aim, but other than that.... more than half the population probably won't use them anyway. So nah charging extra for sockets isn't that great of an idea

I'd pay a lot for 4 +10 clothing customization.

I don't charge for sockets because I can't control them. I got usually 4, but sometimes 0 - 3. If it has sockets, it does. If it doesn't, oh well. I'm not going to keep remaking clothes to get a set number of sockets.

Are there a lot of Skill Enhancers floating around? I've almost never seen them on the market....

I've been buying up skill enhancers since day one of live. I have like 20 of them now. Most of them are not great, but I do have a polearm fighting friend, and when I get a four socket item he likes, he'll get 4 +1 Polearm damage mods on it.

I've been buying them up too, on a glactic scale, in fact just before the server down, i was in a starport ready to hit the next planet



best socketed item so far.... my boots


added +5 melee defense


+2 to def vs knockdown


+1 to def vs stun


( one socket free!)


pistol adds are hard to find, i have a TON of adds to 1 and 2 hand melee


will trade for Unarmed skill adds (the sports tape ones)

Thats what I was getting at Bridik...if I made the clothes face to face well yay you lucked out..but selling them on the bazaar for no extra cost IMO seems not to be a very good idea.
