Check the Merchants

Over the next few weeks I will be leveling Light armours.
I will be selling the results (random ql) at 0% markup. I will do my best to balance the various peices, but if you see 128 sleeves (HP/Focus) one day expect to see boots or other random other peice.
The quicker they sell the faster I will re-list new Items. When I hit the 128 limit I will be selling direct to the NPC.
So its up to you....... Please, exculding prefered customers, do not request sets at this point, unless you are providing the usual 500-800 mats!
I am currently accepting the following materials as payment....
Fiber/skin (Clothes mat)
Resin (Linning)
Oil/Secretion (Stuffinf)
Sap/Ligaments/Tails (Armour clip)
Ql180+ perfered will accept ql160+
Seeds/Amber (ql100+)
Fyros/Tryker
Hvy sets upto ql180 (MQL) - are now mat only deals
HQL Hvy set will only be made at ql170-ql180 - these are only available after a meeting with me.
I will not be making Medium armour at this point, under any cirumstance.
Thank you.

Its very simple
leveling 6 trees is hard work, leveling 11 as I am is very hard work. To level 16 would just be a nightmare at this point. Medium can be worn upto 1.5 * con, so most mid level fighters can wear ql250 ... so demand for very high ql is great (people don't seem happy with ql100 medium armour).
But, the truth be know, I am aware of another Medium armour crafter who is already High level. So I don't wana cut into her market.
Also Melanija, is working on this armour type. So I will support her crafting rather that my own.
As Male Tryker and Male Fyros are both awesome looking armour sets. I will be sourcing sets of these for my armour collections.
Currently own a Blue and Red Fyros medium MQL which are both very nice armours. Have a Gold Tryker med HQL on order, when I can be bothered to get the mats.
When I have leveled Light armours and Jewels sufficently I may return to complete my armour sets. Till then I will stick to my Hvy and Lights.

Bad Neun!
You are in this way screwing up the market for others that try to make a few dappers... I know armor availability is low, but to make such an aggro attack on the marketplace, I thought you wiser. If you sell at 0%, why not directly to the NPC?
To help people? I think in the long run you will:
- spoil buyers.
- demotivate other crafters to get their lvls up.
Just my 2 cts...

Would you prefer I reverted to my 300%?
I will be leveling using most the basic/fine mats..... its unlikely that these items will NOT cripple the market.... the wear rates will mean that these items will have a very short combat life.
I am in a catch 22:
-I won't charge my 'complete set' prices for light armours based on leveling items made with basic material. This is not fair on the customer.
-I won't junk items will boosts direct to then NPC, thats just wasteful.
-I don't want to craft and drop light armours, I may have dapper but these items have player value greater than the dapper return.
-I also don't want to demotivate other crafters.... If fact the more crafters the less tells I get, I want customers. I don't want all the customers.
I am not after the light armour market! I want HQL look light, because I want them and I can't get them.
My market is heavy armours. They are my passion, however since I spend 90% of my life time in light armour I want to look good doing it.
My solution after some consideration.... I will sell only 128 light items each day till I have my HQL set.
These will be listed at 100% mark-up.
They are 'buyer beware' items (may contain any mat grade).
They will contain boosts, random Focus/HP.
I would recommend should you want Light armour sets - talk to Frydeswinde
She is a hard working crafter of fine light armours, who goes to great efforts to sell her wares in all regions. I am not sure what she charges, but I know it will be a fair price

Eep!?
Neun, are you my long lost brother? We have the same plan, we have the same goals, we have the same attitude (almost).
As a small Homin I was raised by by Aunt, a witch who lived in the forests of Umbria . She refused to talk to me about my parents, whom she said were killed by the kitins due to a fatal error of my father, whom she kept calling "that bloody braindead midget". It was a horrible place and the only friend I had was a stray Yubo.
One day in winter, when food was scarce, she took the Yubo from me and cooked my little friend. I refused to eat of the stew and she threw me out of the house.
"Go find your brother, maybe he can feed you!"
I had a brother?
Running in the dark and no place to go, I fled. Luckily some Karavan people found me and took em to refugee island. There I swore two things:
- No Yubo shall be harmed if I can prevent it.
- I *will* find my brother, if it is the last this I do.
Soon I understood that for travel and bribes I needed good clothing and took up armorcrafting, Heavy as well as Light, each one for it's special purpose.
My travels took me far and in all the lands I see a lack of proper protection for the fragile Homin boody. So indeed I spread the items I craft and make some effort of putting more where more is needed. If no higher quality can be done or I make a lot of mistakes, I dare not ask a lot of dappers. High materials and good have a price and they make up for the loss I make on the more mundain.
But do tell, Neun, who was Nineteen?

Sellers should set their prices at whatever they want. If Neun wants to give away his armour, I'm sure people are still going to craft and harvest, buy and sell, aside from him. And if it puts prices down in the market then good for the homins! Others will still get the same prices from the merchants, whether they want to sell them on or not. No-one's going poor and hungry from harvesting and crafting!

Mabe - I have a half sister, Nine, born to Nineteen.
But, as I am yet to reveal who my father was, who knows
hans1976 wrote:But do tell, Neun, who was Nineteen?
The story of Nineteen is a long one. One day I may publish her diaries, ask the Elders of Ayts (The one who carry the title, not the guild) if you need to know more sooner.
- Light armour sales will start soon, I have had a sudden rush on Hvy armours
If Neun wants to give away his armour
This happens quite a lot, not so much recently as I rarely find myself in town long these days. Many homin has found themselves approached by a strange offered items, with the words .... 'This will help.'
