  • What is your cost?

    On my server AB the dwerium trio's about 4 to 6k which isnt too bad. Since this went live price for raw facite if I want to get it cost me 161 plat on barter and I am sure that will go up. Taaffeite has gone insane from 30 to 50 k per stonoe wich forces us to raise price to unreasonable rates. As I am the only jeweler and GM n my guild I am bombarded as to how much it will cost them. Our stones just like the drops for cultural armor is insane, Sublime goes for 400 to 600k and armor 400k per peice. IMO yes the stats etc are nice but it has made it impossible to do as we one guy in barter buying 300 Taaffeite for 16999 plat each and raw faycite for 160 per. So far I have gotten the raw fcycite before him but no way can i compete wiht a guy who has millions to throw into the fray. Again the higher end toons get richer and the lower guys in family guilds etc get stuck. SOE should put a hard cap of max 10k on any item allowed to be sold, this would stop plat farmers, inflation etc. Or offer the items from a vendor but plat or have to do quest (and I hate quests) to unlock vendor.

    So with all that said how much does jelwery and stones go for on your server?

    A few notes here.

    First, buyers don't actually have to have enough plat for ALL the items they're buying, just one of each item. I routinely set up buy lines for 999 of items for which I offer over 100K each. I most certainly don't have 100Mpp on my buyer! =) The buyer will simply disable the buy lines when you run out of cash. So your buyer wanting 300 could just be typing a high number so he doesn't have to go back and re-create the line every time someone sells him a few; he just has to add cash to the buyer and reactivate the line.

    As for setting a cap of 10K per item, that would just mean sellers would move back to /auc WTS item x, 500K. Same as before. All it would do is irritate both buyers and sellers. It would do precisely nothing to stop inflation. It would just cause people to not use /barter for big-ticket items.

      On Prexus I am paying 25-30k for Taaffeites, and selling the cut ones for 40k. I am selling 5-10 a day at those prices, and I am only barely able to keep up.

        It's about the same on Maelin, about 4k for dwerium (way down from 300k at launch day) and taaffeite has been averaging 25-30k for uncut and a bit more for cut

          On Luclin Raw Faycite Crystal went from 50-300pp each to 5-10k overnight once the new JC items were globally known. Luckily I picked up 300 or so before the price hike and whipped them into Dwerium ready to be enchanted....... The 8 hour Mass Enchant Dwerium is a killer though. if I am lucky I get 30 enchanted in a day but that is rare because I do actually have to work and sleep and such.

          The Harmonagate also got price hiked from 100-700pp to 10-15k overnight but I managed to pick alot up too.

          Taaffeite seems to always have been 30-40k and hasn't changed much.

          Thankfully prices (except Taaffeite) have started to come down again.
          Raw Faycite has come down to 1k+
          Harmonagate has come down to 8k+

          I have my guild giving me all the stones that I can handle as they come across them. I in turn are throwing upgrades at them as fast as I can turn them around.

            On Tunare, my barter mule gets Taaffs for 16 to 23k, I'm the lowest seller at 54k on cut ones. Open market uncut taaffs run 25 to 45k. I usually buy any that are less than 30k.

            I'm buying raw fay crystals at 300 or so ea, till someone comes on and ups the bid to 1k ...

            I'm selling dwer trio's in the 3k range, and sell as much as I can enchant
