Quick Guide To Fruit and Natural Stone Markup

[kosmos]

I am going to use papplon throughout this guide, but the information applies to all fruit and natural stones.

Taking a look at some papplon in a trade terminal machine (1000 to be exact) you can see its value is .01 ped (1 pec) according to MA, or .001 pec each. As shown below.

To understand how much each fruit is worth you will want to look at the day,week, or monthly markup. For example looking at the markup below you will see 1 fruit (.001 pec) multiplied by the markup (120087%) is selling for 1.20087 pec per fruit

To understand how markup is calculated on auction lets take a look at this example.

The papplon opening bid was 7 ped , which is the 679 papplon (.00679 value, .001 * 679) multiplied by (103092.78%). The result will be 7 ped.

Lastly I want to discuss a common misconception. The sales column isn't the amount the fruit/stone is worth, but it is the volume of fruit/stone that was sold on auction.

Since fruit is worth 1 pec per 1000, 2.7 pec shown under sales would mean 2700 fruit were sold today, 23,900 for the week, and 152,000 for the month. I am referring to the picture below as a reference point.

and how is the markup calculated? Comparing the in-game numbers to peauction the prices can differ considerably

peauction is only examining the strait auctions final sell prices without buyout.

I sense hostility from you for some reason

Random screen shots I took when I made the guide... Just click the pictures and it will explain alot.

Who said I was a manipulator?

I am trying to help the community. That really offends me. I don't see everyone stepping up to help give info to people to keep them from being ripped off. If you have nothing productive to say in a guide next time step off and spread your venom somewhere else please.

This is what I was talking about when you do something nice and people go be rude about it thinking you're taking advantage of them or something.
When you make a guide with anything relating to market, you're a manipulator.
When you're healing, you must be taking advantage of them by skilling.
When you're TP running newbies but don't wanna set loot to stack-share (rather use most dmg takes all and tell everybody not to shoot) because you don't want some newbie to run off with your Korss, then you're taking advantage by trying to "steal loot".
It's crap, but you gotta put up with it sometimes

Hi-I'm a new player(downloading now) but I wonder, does this formula apply to all items when selling/auctioning? I may want to craft, but I definitely want to sell what I find for the correct prices..thanks..

 

[Arthurs]

[Ianus]

Nice guide
The simplest way btw is to see mark-up, put stack in auction and increase value until u reach the mark-up that u choose;
