Even if it's hard (if not maybe impossible) to estimate a ballpark number because of all the variables, it would be nice to see a minimum per tier via raffle.

The cost for these services usually involves the difference between the current value of the item and the new value of the item. That means a price really can't be quoted until we've got the item in hand and can look at that specific item. Every single mechanical attribute of the item contributes to its overall valuation.

agree. at least post the base for simple enchants.

>This includes material

so pick something like vultite for weapons and leather for armor, common weapons like falchions, armor like brig, and list them. Or make the system less complicated.

>Sure there is part of the population that can afford it but i would say 75 percent has no way to come up with something like 22 million for a single service that is okay.

I too would have been totally unprepared had I won the raffle. I had no idea it was that much to pad plate. Which was why I asked well beforehand for some ballpark prices.


On the positive end, we now have two data points to work on.

4x axe to 5x = 1.1 million

6x plate to heavy padding = 22 million

GS players are pretty smart. We can make decent inferences from supplied data. But we need basic data to start from.

It would be a very Premium thing to share. ;-)

>If that 1 million in the example above was just there to show what a price would look like, well, that's another thing.

That 1.1 million is the price the winner was lamenting at the raffle.

New data points:

4x axe to 5x = 1.1 million

7x double to heavy padding = 2.2 million

7x max light hauberk to heavy padding = 2.7 million

6x lightened plate to heavy padding = 22 million


This small bit of data would have been enough to make a better decision. I realize there is some uber super-secret formula for figuring prices (I picture some rickety spinny wheel thingy), but can we at least get the very basic vanilla, off the shelf, standard weight, leather, steel, prices? Most raffles don't allow special stuff anyway.

Providing the starting points for this list and their respective enchants from 0x to 7x would be peachy keen.

Feel free to reinstate Ophion for a few seconds to reply to this and shut me up! (Heh. The GM who checks the characters on my account should get a laugh out of that last comment)

>Count me out of these kind, then. I don't understand how people accumulate all this money.

This is what keeps me out of the Grand Auctions. I play to have fun and never accumulated enough silvers to participate. That first time they had a "token" driven auction tent was pure heaven. I didn't win anything but at least I felt I had a chance. Still have my consolation cloak! Holds VLA!

>7x max light hauberk to heavy padding = 2.7 million
>6x lightened plate to heavy padding = 22 million

>What are the metals for each of these? Given that magic metal armors all appraise at having pretty high values compared with steel or the equivalent in leathers (and thus leading to a lot more extra bard singing at times, i.e. Duskruin), that seems like it is good to note.

I am pretty sure I saw the plate as steel. The hauberk might have been rolaren? I am sure someone can supply exact information...or I could not be lazy and did into my logs.
