FC etiquette
Just a question for all the crafters out there. What is your etiquette around charging FC members for top level crafts? I had been charging Mat prices + 50k but some people believed that was gouging FC members. I have heard of people argue for all of the below equations:
Free- crafter eats the entire cost cause they are rich.
Mat cost only- crafter eats any failed crafts
FC/requester provides all mats no matter fail or succeed
Mat cost + set value
Mat cost * %
MB cost - % discount
So what are your formulas for top level crafts?

My personal opinion is that you should never charge your own FC anything. You're all there to help each other. Would you accept a charge if they ran a dungeon for you? Probably not, despite it being much more time consuming than a few minute whittle. However they should definitely provide their own mats.

I wouldn't charge FC member, it should be a perk, however materials don't grow on trees and they must provide them. Also Crafting, specially high level , should be given a disclaimer that not responsible for failed attempts. If they have a problem with that they can ask anyone else or start crafting themselves
-
Personally I don't charge FC members, I even provide low level material, since I usually have those in abundance. However I will ask them to bring harder to get mats, or HQ mats for higher level crafts.
-
I don't charge anyone for crafting anything. I say bring the mats and I'll make whatever you want.
-
I make anything that people want if they bring me the mats. Many people in the FC will tip me, anything ranging from 10k to 100k depending on the level of the item. I've made 4-star crafts for FC mates. If I volunteer to make something, e.g. leveling gear, I use my own mats or buy them myself. Our FC leader encourages tipping.

Depends on their level.
I've crafted a few small things for people for free and never minded, but I'm not a huge crafter for the big stuff.
As someone who's had people craft for me though... I ALWAYS tip them, especially because their my FC.
That to me is a bigger etiquette then being a crafter and worrying about charging
-
I don't charge unless I have to procure the materials myself. However, I never decline a tip.
-
I pretty much never charge, or accept tips. I state, "Make a donation to the FC chest." But, I am one of the authorized person's remove money from the chest. I do so regularly to purchase materials for the FC house stuff.

I usually don't charge my FC members though if they offer to pay me I'll only charge them the cost of materials. Usually my only requirement is that they bring me the mats from seals or lore tomes.
