    FC Vendor idea

    I was thinking about there being a vendor at everyone's FC (who've unlocked said feature). This is a very special vendor! What it basically does is allows members to vendor their items like any normal vendor except that it will keep said items and allow other FC members to purchase any items the vendor has. 50% of the gil that the vendor makes goes into the FC bank automatically. The price of the items being resold depends on the FC leader. They have the power to set the price. At default the vendor will sell the items for 1000% more then they bought them for. The FC leader can increase the % the vendor sells the items.


    So if a FC member sells 10 Wyvern Wing for 13gil each netting him/her 130gil. Now the vendor has an item to sell. Anyone in the FC can come and buy 1-10 of the Wyvern Wings for 130gil each (by default because of the + 1000%). If the FC leader increases the vendor cost by 100% then it will cost 143gil ect ect. When someone buys the item 50% gil goes directly into the FC bank.

    I would propose that the vendor can hold a max of 100 different kinds of items at once. Also have it so the vendor can only hold items for 30 days so that way people cant just use it as extra storage... I mean they could but the process to make that work seems like too much trouble then its worth.


    TLDR: FC vendor that members sell items to. Other FC members can buy those items. FC leader can set price increase. 50% of the gil goes in FC bank. Max 100 different items, and 30 days before getting deleted to avoid it being abused.

    I hope you guys enjoy this idea as alot of my FC members seem to have liked it.



    _________________________________________________

    Separate idea (kinda)
    Allow FC's to tax vendors we currently have.

    If I am buying Ash Lumber (because im starting to craft) for 43 gil from the Material Supplier in my FC I think the FC should get a cut if not all of the proceeds being made by the vendors I allow to sell in my FC.

    If you're going to 'throw away' items via NPC selling, which is effectively what it is given the abysmal selling price, then you might as well just put them straight into the FC chest. If that's not an option then use FC chat to see if anyone wants them. The whole suggestion seems very mercenary & liable to misuse (there'll be people create loops & the like).

    I'm pretty sure the way I have it means its impossible to abuse but please let me know how. Alot of the times people arnt on at the same time and its easier to just go vendor your items. This way a FC can be a more useful community to each other. My FC chest is filled with materials to make airships so we dont have room for any other crafting supplies one might throw away.
