Manage production costs so it costs you less than them

MURDER THE HECK OUT OF THE PRICE! MAKE MORE AND REPEAT!

Seriously though, why should I care about other crafters? THE MARKET IS MY PVP! YOU ARE MY ENEMIES! Why is no one supporting the buyers? You have to care for the buyers if you are a true hot blooded crafter! I crash a market, make a fortune, and others get to buy an item at a non extortionate price! Who loses? Overpricing crafters? I'd rather be on my customers' side! Besides, items are so overpriced I can cut them in half and STILL make off like a thief.



Also, if you are having problems with large drops in price, you are making overpriced items. DIVERSIFY! Corner a different market (I like mythril armor myself, sells like hotcakes). The higher the price the item THE GREATER THE PRICE DISPARITY OF VENDORS! It's % based, a 3,000,000 gil katana with a 10% price mark down is undercut 300,000 gil. A 5,000 gil demimateria is dropped 500 gil. It's all economics and math in the end. No one is spending 3 days in a 1 gil battle with you for a 3 million gil item unless they REALLY don't get economics and business, and when we're dealing with millions, even a 1,000 gil drop might as well be a 1 gil drop. PERCENTAGES!
