Hi all!

I'm a new master tailor on Lowca, and I need a little advice from the veterans on BE clothing. I started off as a holo grinder, then discovered I really love the profession so I am keeping it.

Anyway, how do you structure your prices with regard to BE clothing? I just started making it, and don't have the foggiest idea what good, fair prices are for this stuff. Can any of you please offer some advice and/or suggestions? Thanks!

Everyone does it differently, and there are lots of threads you can search through in this forum to get the full spectrum of prices. Most people charge some sort of formula based on the amount of enhancement (500cr/pt, 1k/pt and so forth)

I think the best advice though is to take a look at your costs of obtaining them and add on a reasonable markup for your trouble, and add that to the base price of your clothing.

Prices vary with servers.

My prices which to some probably would be rediculously expensive, to others average, to some maybe even cheap who knows

30k - formfitting undershirt with +4/+18 melee/stun defence

40k - spec ops duster with +4/+18 melee/stun defence

50k - pleated skirt with +25 inj/wnd treatment

50k - 4 socket formfitting undershirt with +4/+18 melee/stun defence

50k - 4 socket spec ops duster with +4/+18 melee/stun defence

60k - 4 socket pleated skirt with +25 inj/wnd treatment

80k - revealing top with +25 inj/wnd treatment

150k - 4 socket revealing top with +25 inj/wnd treatment (special order only, not stocked on vendor)

Also my prices are based a lot on my rate of sales,my prices need to be high so i dont have to restock 24/7

it's a hard one this. I play on Bira so loot is expensive but peple exspect tailors to be cheap!!! There more Tailors now everyday i get a new novice wanting training yet the number of BE's is dropping. (mine has just put is prices upto to 100k a crate) I have had to go for charging 16k for every tissue the item uses so 16k for fomfitting shirt etc. Sales are steady not major just glad I sell loot too

CU1 I supported in discussions
CU2 I didn't get a chance you forced it on us with NO warning
CU3 it'll come when the kids can't handle click click click

I think I am going to change to 1k per bonus point. I can still make the money I spent on the tissues and make a profit on the clothing.

I belive in simple and easy pricing. Since it cost me about 2.5k per BE cloth to make i charge per cloth used in BE clothing. So a simple BE shirt for warcry would be 5K were as a fully BE'd bodysuit would cost 35K.

I charge 500 cr per point: +25 injury/+25 wound treatment would cost 25k.

Base item cost + {#of tissue used x current tissue cost} = price

The price will vary by what is availble,

I do not charge for the stats provided as that is not my side of crafting

and the cost of tissue set by the BE has stats charged for already.

stop looking at me
