Finally got up to LvL 400 artificer and have started asking for work. I have been telling people that I will make them exotics for around 1g 50 – 75s. I was wondering if this was a good price to charge or whether it needs changing. Feedback would be appreciated
As an artificer what should i charge for my services?
I figure instead of locking yourself into a price you should instead say you are now level 400 artificer (grats btw) and can craft exotics for a price. So it should look something like this:
“/map 400 Artificer willing to craft exotics /w (name) with item name and we can work something out”
That way you can work your price around how expensive the ingredient variants are based on specific item to be crafted.
At least that’s how I would go about advertising. Otherwise you can always use the trading post to sell the exotics you make eh?
The thing is, is that I don’t want to go out and collect all the materials because in the game right now, there is only about 7 Orichalcum Veins and 7 Orrian Saplings and it takes forever to farm enough to make a weapon. So I ask the people to provide the materials and i try and charge them half of what the weapon is worth on the Trade Post, which is the price stated in my original post.
But even if I bought the parts on the Trade Post I would lose money as all of the materials are worth more than the staff itself according to the TP (I actually checked this by adding the prices).
Btw if you wanna profit, you must farm all the materials yourself. Every last bit. Ectos, wood, uranium and pieces of MIR space station.
If you do so you might even earn up to whooping 10 silver! Totally worth it!
PS Gz on 400 :P
