OK we all know how it works at the moment, you place your masterpiece order with a crafter, they go away and charge you for every retry they make getting to 100%
They don't charge profit because they sell all the 99%s off afterwards.
What does this mean, well basically it means the person ordering the masterpiece is paying for everyone elses retries. Crafters sell the 99%s at ludicrous prices, from 70g to 170g BELOW cost value of the item.
So on average the cost of a MP Sabre/Long Dirk/Jambiya etc.., is 2.752 plat (If the crafter charges actual cost, that's 208g base, 52g per retry)
I propose a new scheme of MP payment
The client pays for retries as per usual, BUT when the crafter makes a 99%, he gives the client two FREE retries.
On average a MP takes 50 retries, usually a client pays for all 50, with this scheme the client will only pay for ~33 retries.
This brings the cost of the average MP down from 2.752 plat, to 1.904 plat, a saving of ~850g
Thoughts?
