    hell, the sellers are mostyl taking a loss as it is selling, so the undercutting is hurting that even more

    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.
