Anyone knows approx. how much time it requires to manufacture 100 units of synth cloth? Anyone benchmarked it?

And how much do you charge per 100 units or per crate of synth cloth?

Thanks.

2-3 hours off the top of my head. I'd probably charge about 5k for a crate of 25.

I charge 5k for a crate of synth, 6500 for a crate of reinforced. I think its a very reasonable price, I make a profit and am not gouging anyone.

20k/crate seems on the excessive side..

Took my factory several hours to make 100 factory made synth cloth. I was going to charge 5k per crate as that is what I sold it for in beta with good result. So that would total 20k for 100 factory made.

How are you guys getting the factory to work so quickly? Mine takes just shy of four hours to make 100. And reading this post it sounds like I need to raise my prices.

I was getting between 3 and 4 hours a run, but I never timed it. I have been charging 5k per crate of 25 too, but i do discount a bit if they buy in bulk. Had a guy yesterday buy 6 crates so instead of charging 30k I let him have them for 26k. And as chitin is becoming more popular and available, the prices for Mabari(factory synth cloth req)are dropping fast. Saw a guy selling a full suit for 6k, where I was getting 15k when I was at mabari level.

you're too slow and underchaging.

20k for a crate of 50 factory cloth

50 per unti on hand done.

I was wondering if you include the Bio Part as part of the synth cloth? If not, how much does that add to the price?

I get 90 seconds for every TXP change, so I guess it's 90sec per unit. 100 units should be 2.5hrs. Unless there are more factors.

with the increased demands on me for resources, as well as the fact that the best complaint I had about the price was that it would cost them 1200 credits to earn a 8000 profit, it's not gouging. if they want to pay for my factory, the power, the materials and the time and effort it took to be tailor. they can pay this price. I have no problem moving my cloth whatsoever. including to the person that made the above said complaint.

I guess I have a problem with it being called gouging by another tailor. instead of condemning me, why don't you THANK me for not selling at 1 credit per crate? I'm doing my best to make sure we make money at what we do and not have to run missions by charging what the market will bear. its not gouging to make credits at this, it's smart business.

Been taking my factory approx 3 hrs per 100 and I sell them for 5k per 25 (1 crate). I was getting 6k per but since he is a regular customer, I dropped to the "normal" rate of 5k. For hand made I have been getting 150 per and have had no complaints. Haven't made any factory reinforced since I don't believe chitin requires it based on the schematics I saw on the crafting web site. I got 300 per panel on them yesterday from a regular and again, no complaints. In fact I was only charging 250 but he paid me 300 since I supplied it so quickly when asked. I am making money now while I can as I suspect others will catch up to me and perhaps the market for armor will slow down after people are either done skilling up and/or selling armor so quickly.
