Do people always over price items?

[AttacKat]

What about consideration for the poor people? How are they supposed to buy gears when everything is overpriced?

SE already give out handouts for the lazy ones. Starting cost? Under 1k gils.

Go by a lvl 1 tool from the NPC at any adventure guild, equip it, and go live off of leve welfare. You get to collect every time you pass go. End result? 1 stack of in demand material nets 250k+ with easy.

Soon other players will start to label you rich and wants to suck your bone dry too for their laziness. ;p

God im still being flamed xD .. Im not gonna read EVERY single response. My question is if you guys already dubbed me as ignorant, then why keep coming back to this thread?

because we no longer care and only want to tease you

Maybe there is something im missing here? Someone enlighten me please.

What's missing is intelligence. Let's just chalk it up to that and realize there is no cure for it and be done.

Way to ask question and not be flamed: What does the community think a fair markup on crafted items is?

Way to ask question and be flamed: Whats with the peice of X, thats like a YYY% markup, thats stupid

Just saying. I have some advice in my posting before. Up to you if you want to use it.

For players that make 1,000,000 an hour gathering I can see how time is valuble. Thats, 16,666 gil a minute you waste on a craft so its obvious you want to squeeze as much profit as you can from the wards. So if you can't afford the prices that are set I recommend leveling a craft or getting a friend to do it for you.

What about consideration for the poor people? How are they supposed to buy gears when everything is overpriced? Should they have to work to earn it? No I don't think so, who do you think you are?
I think the sellers should cater and lower the price so they can afford things that the rich can buy too.

Buy Grand Company stuff, they are even better than crafted items.

Maybe its just because im newer to this game, but Im doing the research and some of these itmes on the market are cost waaayy less to make than people sell them for. Its not that I cant afford the weapon... its just I dont wanna feed someones greed.

Example: Ash Composite Bow is being sold for 50,000 on market.

Ingredients: Antelope Horn (16,000 per unit). 2 Ash Lumber (800~1000 per unit). Mole Sinew (100 per unit). .... All together thats 18,000 to 20,000 to make!! Where are people getting their prices from? Its not like its hard to get the items in this game..

Maybe there is something im missing here? Someone enlighten me please.

Someone had to spend time to level a craft that is able to create that item. Add this to the fact that ppl will not create items for the purpose of gearing you. Is this your first MMORPG?

I have only one complaint on this whole topic...people who sell items in the wards for a higher price than what they can be bought for from an NPC. Worse yet, the people who actually BUY these items. I can only assume (and hope) it's a convenience thing, not having to use the Google box to determine what NPCs sell what items.

In regards to the OP, I set my prices based upon production cost + gathering time (since I gather my own mats more often than not) + and a convenience fee. Then I look at what trends are currently showing in the market. The most obvious one to point out is the "Relic Trend". I can make about 125k-150k on 1 Rose Gold Nugget +1 currently, depending upon market flooding and severity of undercutting. This won't always be the case, as eventually the "hardcores" will obtain their relic(s) and demand will slow-down, as supply increases, driving down price. /economicsclassflashback
