Does anyone know? I figured it wouldn’t be that expensive, but it doesn’t seem like anyone is really depositing any into my baskets, so I figure it’s too low.
On that note; I can’t seem to actually find anyone buying rocks in the knowledge tab, but I can see Selling listings.
Is 0.2c per raw T1 rock way too cheap, or…?
On Sorissi there’s people selling rock at .5c and 2c. Buying at 1c. I however do not know they colors they are selling or if that’s a specific color they are buying. And for stones there’s a store buying at 1c and .3c again not sure on colors they need. And selling on stone is 2c.
So as for a request basket price. It seems like you might be too low. But if you advertise on the forums you might be able to sell at that price. But as i haven’t looked at the other planets and I don’t sell rock I couple be wrong.
Yeah I believe the problem is that it takes just as much time and effort, (and also cost) to farm T1 rock as it does to farm T7 rocks essentially.
Doesn’t necessarily cost the same, as weaker tools can get far more T1 stone than T7 stone.
I believe the Sedimentary on Dzassak is Ashen Grey? That’s the one I’ve been wanting to buy thousands of.
I’ve used over 40000 and still I’m barely making a dent.
Ahh but sadly aoe tools still roughly cost the same. Sure you may not have to put dmg into it but still left at the mercy of rng. And not everyone forges so they are left to buying t5 hammers as I don’t think people sell lower forges. And t5 with brews will go to t6
Yep as @FireAngelDth says, it still costs essentially the same to forge a tool that can one shot T1 as it does for T6.
Not to mention less valuable drops such as gems or even fossils
Just to give an example i have a approx 400 stands and storage cubes full of t6 and exo rock.
I have 12 with T1-T3. 6 of those are black from angel 1
I am selling antar rock stock storage for i believe 1coin going down to 0.2c still have to move a lot material to my storage but as it is if the rock is out the price goes up.
Buying/selling rock is a little tricky.
My shop buys I believe rock for 0.1c mostly because people dump “byproduct rock” from mining. Selling rock not native to the planet at 1-2 coin and native rock even less (till supply runs out).
The trick is keeping in account what supply does cost. What can you make from the materials and what does it cost you to make it.
Rock is fairly easy to calculate. Calculate what you need for bricks and divide the material cost by 5-6coin as most have to sell it for that price.
When you need a specific color lock the basket(s) to that color and you can give more coin for it but if you don’t lock, there is a big chance you’ll get “byproduct rock” and lost a lot of coin for rock you don’t need or want.
If you really need certain color rocks it is good to announce it around. I wouldn’t rel that players would come and fill baskets.
Personally I wouldn’t waste time to look even where rock basket is located if request price is below 2 coins because it takes time to travel to basket and I would need to have enough free space on inventory.
Lets just all agree that the market as a whole (counting all 50 planets) is in total ■■■ hole, its really unbalanced and overpriced/underpriced
I put out most of my non-exo rock (from T1, T3 and T6 planets) out for free after a clearing/mining session…got so much in storage already.
Thats the problem of the whole market. The people who played the game for a long time have everything and demand on most of the things is rly low or non existent… thats the problem when you cant lose anything… so basically at one point in the game if you play long enough you will have everything, and you wont need anything after that… thats why the most of the new players drop out, they cant earn any money in terms of trading and selling things… and they just quit it…
These low level rocks are more expensive to acquire than high level rocks. Large scale miners aren’t usually wasting tools on low yield planets so they don’t exist at the volume of “waste rock” like rocks from a t5/t6 will.
If you want these farmed for you in a specific color and a reasonable time frame you need to be offering, IMO, at least 1c per rock. Announce that and you are probably filled in 48 hours time.
AT 2c per rock someone will usually run right out and get them for you.
Not at all… I basically didn’t buy a thing for the first 6 months I played this game as I was happy gathering everything I needed for myself.
As my needs/wants have expanded/increased to the point where I couldn’t ever hope to gather everything for myself and I don’t have the patience for gathering certain materials I buy them all. Currently I have about 50-60 request baskets buying assorted items for very fair prices of all the things I either can’t be bothered collecting or cannot humanly gather enough of.
The problem is of course that new players aren’t aware of this. So the first thing I do when I meet a new player is show them how to collect spicy beans and inky leaves and where to sell them.
I get what you are saying, and i know the whole struggle about it at the start, but i was happy to discover that on my own…
But right when i came in now, after few months… everyone had everything the only demand is specific of the color, and dependant on the project you are doing, and i get it that you have a store like that, but its only so much of those stores and they are all scatered around, its confusing…
Also i (as fairly new player 180hrs in the game (0 of them AFK)) have so much things to sell and that i dont need that is just apsurd… and idk what to do with it since no one needs them too… since they are not used in anything… except decorations… i was grinding for exp… so now i have a fully stuffed storage room of those blocks that i started using them for chriso (wich is a waste of mats, since the price is 10% of what i feel it should be) counting all the time, spark, gear it took to make…
EDIT: And some of those stores buy things at so low prices i would feel bad to sell them… i would give them for free since i would think they dont have a single coin to their name…
EDIT#2: Dont get me wrong im just saying thats my opinion, myb i am wrong, and if i am ill gladly listen to you guys (the ones with more hrs in the game)
There’s definitely a lot of people who “have everything”. I think for this reason consumables and new items are the way to go for a shop.
That said, people are always expanding their builds, albeit at a slower rate. People repeatedly buy prestige blocks and power coils. You can make a lot of coin on power coils. And custom orders is a great way to go for blocks. It’s helpful to get to know people socially in the game so they think of you when they need an item, so spend time on forums and just wander around looking at builds and meeting builders.
I personally think that accelerating the rate of plot gain would help with this problem. I’ve repeatedly suggested this - if endgame players had more plots, they’d need more materials and therefore would get the economy moving more.
I agree though, new players have it rough. It was like that even a month in for what it’s worth. Get known as a “go-to” shop with great prices and stock. People like one stop shopping. And more people use shop scanner than you realize. I personally pop in and out of portals with shop scanner and check prices at Legendville mall, Gyosha Mall, naughty mall, and sometimes TNT and nova Golda with shop scanner. Try posting on here asking what the top 10 or so things people buy are. I’ll start a post for you.
Yep I do get what you’re saying, I just feel I need to defend the state of the economy sometimes as it’s not totally broken and anyone can make their fortunes in this game with the right knowledge, the problem is of course getting that knowledge out to the newer players and to those that are struggling.
What I can suggest though is that you keep a lot of those low/no demand items stored for a future purpose, the devs seem to be quite good at introducing new recipes that make use of items that are of little to no value. For instance the rock salt being used in the new decorative ice recipe.
Building blocks (rock/wood) are of course another matter as certain colours are always going to be more popular than others, however the unpopular colours are a good source of exp and a little bit of coin in the chyrsominter if you craft them into doors.
If you have things to sell though, just use the new shop finder system to find the best priced baskets you can, hop through all the planets checking for prices and sell to the best.
What he said. I personally go to TNT and hop through each of the planetary portals checking prices if I am looking for something in particular.
Ye i do that with the scanner myself, but the problem is the market is so in deep ■■■■ rn that all those places have different prices… and that is really pissing me off… i make something that i worked rly hard for, busted my ass to make it, everyone is buying it at 10c and selling at 90c… that is not okay… and idk how they think it can work…
Ye i do that at ultima planetary is rly useful, Hash showed me that and im rly greatfull… but you know how are people, 70% of them are buying for 5% the price mark up… i had an irl problem with that when i was younger i worked in a internet caffe bar (its a bit different since its filled with high end pcs, made for gaming) so the boss there was so greedy, that he was buying the snacks for lets say now 15c and selling for 400c (in that ratio of price) and of course no one bought anything… also with buying things… if everyone puts the price to buy a glue on 1-2c (giving example idk the price of glue in baskets) no one will sell it to you, you would have to be nuts to do that…
Also the baskets are so time consuming for selling at a larger quantities…
