AH pricing solution (Partial) Consignment House

[Robert4818]

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.

Anyone? Would like some community feedback.

I'd be happy just if we could get player bazaar and repair requests back in, they where there in 1.0 and I see no reason why they can't have it back in 2.0.
That way I could ask friends to toss me a quick repair while out in the field, instead of what you suggests which just limits repairs/meld/item purchase to towns.

XIesque Bazaar would be handy. It was fun checking party members in XI to try to find random good deals.

But since the current MB is equivalent to a bazaar, I understand why this is not implemented.

bazaars were removed because people only used them as storage space and most of the time if you checked people's bazaars you only saw stuff for 999999999 gil and nothing actually for sale.

Also, i don't see how the suggestion would help with pricing issues (which, there aren't any, its simple supply and demand), if you didn't offer enough for the consignment they would just sell their stuff on the market instead.

It creates a balancing factor. Ah's drve costs down by focusing on the lowest seller. Ch's drive costs up by focusing on the highest buyer. It also focuses the economy somewhat by giving non crafters the ability to call for things they want. Not just what's being sold. Basically it helps express demand a bit better.

Bazaar would be useless right now with the auto logout imo

I LOVE this idea, make it happen.

Maybe if a dev sees it. Lol

I propose a modification to the Market Boards so players can create market orders similar to stock trading. The buy side should be able to set a quantity and price for an item they want to buy and then a time option to specify how long to keep the order. A checkbox will allow partial filling of the order. The order will remain open until the quantity and price requirements are met, at which the transaction is made. Limit the number of orders to prevent market failure. The sell side already works as intended but there should be two tabs on the market sheet, one for items for sale like how it is, and one for buy orders. A new button on the pricing window will be called Liquidate, which will fill the highest priced orders.

As for repairs and melding, that could work, but in the end, you'll just have bots camping that area for gil. You have to restrict the number of times per day a person can perform repairs/melds through that system.
