DAoC tradeskills - price?

[Cowled]

Hey all crafters out there

It's times for me to get a pricelist, so i would like to know more about how to calc the prices?

I was thinking mine should be looking like this:

Price(quality) = ((material-price + (salvage-cost * retries)) * quality) + Procent%

I.e.:
Price(0.98) = ((100g + (5g * 10)) * 0.98) + 25%
Price = 183,75g

Quality: 98
Price of materials: 100g
Salvage-cost: 5g
Retries: 10
Procent: 25%

It's simpel.
The costumor will pay the cost of materials, salvage cost, and only pay for the quality i can deliever.
If it's under qua 100 the price drops a bit.

Then at the last point where i have to make a living, what to earn.
I was thinking of 25%, but plz tell me how and why etc.

A duskwood-longbow:

Qua: 98
Material-price: 106g 72s 56c = 106,7256g
Demands: Wood: 44 Thread: 8
Salvage: 22 boards, which is a lost at 2,187g (each bar) * (22) + 1,3122g (each thread) * 8 = 58,6116g
Retries: 6

Price(0.98) = ((106,7256g + (58,6116g * 6)) * 0.98) + 25%
Price(0.98) = 449,227296g

Happy ordering

Note this is just an examble

You lose less money if you sell a bow back to the merchant than when you salvage it for the materials..

450g? How does a duskwood bow compare to arcanite 16.2 dps weapons? I see those being offered for sale on US servers for 250g for 98%. Last week they were 350g.

.. The only one on Excalibur-server, cabable to make qua 98-99 duskwood bows, are charging 700g+ for each.

Sooo..

Supply and demand, supply and demand....
Dont you just love capitalism?

 

[SFXman]

Gotta love economics. One of my favorite subjects.

 

[Gimly]

Or you could just hire a tank friend for 200g to beat them up and rob it for you

 

[Cowled]

Hehe

This wasn't to start a flame or sumthing

Tell me how u ppl do? Let me suck out your knowledge

 

[Pixie.Pebr]

Materialcost + 20% markup.
Add any salvage losses on that if they want a specific quality.
I charge the same price regardless of Qua.

You mean that in a later patch they have drops which salvage for arcanite ? ... I think that only applies to the new dungeons that are in 1.53/4 cant remember.

There was a site that calculated item cost/prices including markups but I forgot the url, does anyone remember it?

You can salvage the armour you can buy in DF with seals now. The diamond stuff salvages for asterite (133 bars for the plate helm -- which is how crafters fund thenselves these days )

Try DAOC Tradeskills. You can download spreadsheets from there that will calculate the price of crafted items + markup for you.

All DF stuff salvages for Asterite (8th tier metal), and probably will not be changed.

In 1.53, a new dungeon is added to each of the three frontiers, that contains loot that salvages for 9th tier and 10th tier materials. (Netherium and Arcanium in Midgard.

That's the 1 then. I just know that there is loot coming that salvages for 9th and 10th tier.

Cowled, I have used the spreadsheet from daoc tradeskills and still use it for 1 to 9th tier materials i make for friends and guildies.

Using my own spreadsheet for the 10th tier material

Price = (Cost + (# of recraft * salvage cost)) * 1.1 (alliance) or 1.3 (rest)

96%= 2 recrafts
97%= 4 recrafts
98%= 6 recrafts
99%= 8 recrafts

If something takes more recrafts i lose on an order if something takes less recrafts i gain more then 10% or 30% order. Balances out pretty well with these figures tho I almost bankrupted myself having a bad day once. Luckily the day ended with a 100% qual arcanium cleaver
