Doing Melds for others(what to charge)

[Draemos]

I usually don't ask for money and let the customers decide.

More often than not they give a satisfying amount, and it helps building relations.

I mean, melding is free, so even if you don't charge anything you don't lose anything.

Actually you lose whatever amount they would have paid you.

Actually you lose whatever amount they would have paid you.

Not gaining, and losing, are not interchangeable terms.

Actually you lose whatever amount they would have paid you.

They usually end up paying me, sometimes a thousand gil, sometimes more. Had a guy pay me 15k for a bunch of meld attempts.

If they see you're not after their money, and that you're just nice to them there's a big chance they'll come back to you later if they need more melds.

Charging money might be better on the short term, but leaving payment to the customer to decide encourage long-lasting relationships.
