AH pricing solution (Partial) Consignment House

[Altanas]

I think Consignments or Buy Orders should be restricted somewhat or the whole server of DOL's will try and fill the same easy orders

I can see Consignments working if we started to have Grand Company specific recipies or drops or materials. That way we split the player base in 3 and the orders in 3's.

Say it worked similar to FF11's outpost NPC system, but where regional items are only farmable by players from the controlling Grand Company alliance for that week. That would always create a market of consignment orders as no one would be able to maintain self sufficiency.

The problem at the moment is supply and demand. There isnt enough demand because everyone and their grandmother can flood the markets with supply. Its not enough that supply is restricted by time spent gathering or farming. It should be restricted by regional control like 11.

At the moment it is strange anyone can be self sufficient farming mobs or gathering items so even though consignments would be a quality of life feature there is little need for it unless other matters are addressed too

A consignment house is a reverse AH, specifically designed for crafter/Fieldcraft to pick and choose their jobs instead of selling their work.

Basically it works like this:

A player goes up to the consignment board, browses recipies, repairs, and melds in an interface similar to that of the AH.

When he finds the item he wants he selects it, and places with it the amount of money he's willing to pay for the item, and the quantity he wants (if stackable) through his retainer. If the job is a meld or item repair, the specific item is also deposited.

Later, the crafter or fieldcrafter can come up, and using an interface that lets them pick the DoL/DoH set they are looking for work in, they see what other people want, and what they are willing to take for that job.
