For the first time ever I took an order for Masterpiece Reinf, three pieces - boots, sleeves and legs.
I pre-warned the customer that it could cost between 3p and 6p and was told fine so I started crafting.
Boots took 143 attempts.
Sleeves took 57 attempts.
I charged:
1659 gold for boots.
1368 gold for sleeves.
The guy was a bit upset (quite naturally IMO) about the high cost (paid me 3p 24g NO TIP OR THANK YOU), so I asked him if he wanted to carry on (further warning him that 100 attempts would cost 3.5p) with leggings. He said no.
While I was waiting for a guild group to form I bought the materials and made 10 attempts on the leggings and got MP on 10th attempt, which I put on my merchant for 5p 'cos I was pissed off with 7 hours of crafting for zero reward (when people will pay 4p up for scrolls etc) and get the guy flaming me?
Q1 - Should I have PMed the guy and offered him the leggings first?
Q2 - Should the guy have at least shown some gratitude for my time even though it cost more than he expected?
Q3 - Should I ever take a MP order again?
