UNDERCUTTING....

depends, you still see a lot of overpriced items on Gungnir

have you actualy looked up how much it costs to make them all?

youd be surprised how much some of the materials cost

I completely understand for some of the new items for sure but having to pay 80K gil for a level 20 item that cost all of 8K to make and some materia is still outrageous.

actualy, even then, some of the new items cost ALOT more then people realize

what you think is a markup, actualy isnt at all in alot of cases


some of the items needed to make darksteel/rose gold can only be vender bought...for 100k
so when that item is expensive, think about how many of those vender bought items were involved in making it

well like I said I can understand for some of the new items, also I'm not sure if it is based off the rank of the hamlet or GC rank but those items from the vendor can drop to 50K

hamlet drops are pretty rare, i sell mine for 1-2mil each, and those are just the tools

if you saw how much we could be making off the ore we turn in, the branches we turn in etc etc, then again, its not a markup to sell them for that much, its almost like taking a loss also by selling them so low
and yes, thats low for those items


you really have to be on the crafting/gathering end to understand alot of this, someone who hasnt touched them and doesnt play the market like we do only sees the price and assumes alot

not sure what point you are trying to make I agree with you about the new items, what im specifically talking about are some of the other stuff that obviously does not cost a lot to make but yet is over priced. I dont have to be a crafter or gatherer (yet been working on gathering now) to see how much materials cost.

youd think some of it is alot

but alot of the time, the price is actualy lower then the cost to make it even then, until your in the mix tyring to do it, you may not even notice or understand this

an item for 50k sounds like alot, but if that item takes 60k to make, its not expensive at all, its taking a loss

and on 99% of items being sold, this is usualy the case

those who dont craft and gather will claim up and down they are still being overcharged and it isnt the case, but they seriously are clueless on it cuz they just want the best deal anyway

I've noticed crafters abusing and taking advantage of lack of competition by overpricing items that shouldn't cost as much to produce. On my server for example, a felt cavaliers hat will cost you 60-100K. Other end game mage items all cost the same, and often there is no one selling these items...
