SFE MONTHLY PRICE GUIDE

------------------------------------------------

Hello and welcome to the monthly
Southern Fortress Engineering Price Guide!​

As many of you already know, we have started posting these guides to not only SFE's monthly pricing but also to shed a bit of light on the market variations of the materials we use in order to continue bringing our armours to you. Whilst our amazing Marketing gurus are updating the SFE online catalogues, these threads will explain any of the armour prices that have changed, either more expensive or cheaper and give you, the community and our loyal patrons, an idea of the cost driver behind each price change.

Firstly, the familiar Hawkwing preamble:

As the Treasurer and manager of SFE's shops, it is my responsibility to set prices that are reasonable and fair. In order to do this, SFE undergo a once a month review of prices that is an intricate balance involving the current monthly averaged market prices, procurement prices as supplied from SFE Logistics department, success rates as dictated by SFE Crafting department and of course blue print procurement for those blueprints that have a limited life expectancy! All of this swirls around my own amazing little spread sheet and out come the price recommendations for the following month!

So, let us take a look at the month of October 2010.

Hello to all the armour fans out there once again and a special good luck to those countries with athletes competing in the Commonwealth Games. Sadly for entertainment, the Commonwealth Games doesn't include medals for hunting wild animals or mining in dangerous areas. Fortunately though Entropia Universe does provide this entertainment... minus the medals. And of course, Southern Fortress Engineering provides the armour that keeps you safe and alive while you enjoy this entertainment. The only other piece of entertainment worth mentioning is this Price Guide, which I know you have been waiting for with eager eyes and drooling mouths, so feast yourselves on the price changes below.

The general feel of the month of September was one of increased prices. Whether this is due to a more positive outlook by the player base thanks to all the work FPC are doing to upgrade Calypso, or whether it is just that time of the year when all materials seem to rise. Apart from a few stand out exceptions (Such as Robot Flare Filters), most of the materials required to craft armours went up in price. In as many places as possible SFE has absorbed this cost but in some instances the increase became too much for us to absorb and we have have had to adjust our prices.

General Comments

In general the prices increase unfortunately. Spectre in particular rebounded back to it's August price having enjoyed an all time low in September. However, to balance this, Lich is at it's lowest ever price, so there is still a ray of sunshine on the high end armours. A full suit of Lich is down 189.50ped, taking it below the 3000ped barrier for a full suit.

And a reminder, SFE have expanded our two shops at Shop #10, Floor 1, Twin Peaks Mall and Shop #10, Floor 1, Port Atlantis Mall to have far more item points and more selections of armour available.
