foadon - sorta..... but just sorta... i'd call it warm. the Average cost for make + 49 retries ~= 6.5p is a figure derived from make cost + 49 * (make cost - resale value), assuming you'd be selling non-MPs back to the merchant.
lissandra - how is the very link that I used to come up with the prices for a 99% jerkin relevant?
Damon - haven't you ever played math games, such as disproving the 1=2 theorem and such? you've totally failed to get the point, provide any sort of reasoning, except for the arguing against the most mathematically and economically sound line of my entire post. then you call my math "shitty" when I myself pointed out there was a hole. gg dude. my maths > yours.
heh, the clarity of your calculations utterly defeats my smokescreen there. respect to your accounting skills
yes, I didn't include the stock cost of 99% hauberks that would be sold in the total stock cost.
regardless of which, if a crafter did 50 retries, made 1 MP & sold the 8 99%s on the side, working with the 5.5p and 1.5p prices respectively, they would be making a tidy profit. however, i concede the issue that market demand is kinda low at the moment, and that you need to be a hard seller (or very patient) to make this sort of profit (which you quite deserve btw)
BTW, I have purchased 2 full 99% chain suits, plus additional legs, arms, and coif. I have purchased an MP small round shield for 1.5p, a MP staff for 2p, a MP War Cleaver for 4p, a 99% War Cleaver for 700g, 99% DB Axe for 550g, MP Weighted Bearded Axe for 3.5p. I have never ever debated a price once, and in nearly all cases I've thrown in more than asked. I have never ever had an item SC'ed without giving the SCer a generous tip, unless it was made clear that the tip was already built into the prices. So please please do not get the impression that im griping about crafter prices.
LASTLY
No kidding, you would be doing Midgard a huge favour if you did this. Unified pricing, easy access for Midgard's consumers to find crafters who WANT the work. If you could get all the crafters to work together on this, it'd be brilliant. It'd even be worth the inflated prices that always result when a monopolistic organisation is formed.
I was thinking about it:
A warrior needs a new weapon, he e-mails one person, saying "I need XXXXXX weapon with XXXXXX stats and XXXX proc". He gets a date & time for picking up the item. Sure, he's going to pay a lot more, because the three crafters involved will say "well we're going to charge more because we're doing the legwork", but the time he's not wasting searching for crafters he can spend down in Spindel farming thralls @ 250g+ per hour or in DF farming diamonds @ 500g+ per hour. You could even accept payment in DF diamond seals @ 9g per seal, further enriching members of your crafting guild, because who else will trinket the seals if you have every 800+ metalworker in your club?
Anywayz, just another one of my dumb 'if mid/pryd wasn't utterly self-destructive' ideas
