Talk:Prices: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:27, 2 February 2015

IME, cobble is free - 1ku per stack and dirt is free - 1ku per stack.

Food is usually sold for its healing value.

IMO, instead of just listing rather arbitrary "suggested" price ranges, we should get Zolyx to decide the (hypothetical) Admin Shop prices for these items, and work from there. -will9831

In all honesty though, that would put Zolyx in a very controversial position as prices are affected by supply and demand. When Bis was buying lots of red wool, he caused the price to go up. Same when he bought lots of sandstone. Also, how much someone sells something for also depends on their personal opinion of how valuable something is.

(Fubaka) Cobblestone certainly shouldn't be free - 1ku, as, despite the fact that it is extremely common, it has a very large number of uses, and there are always people who are in great need of the stuff. The reason why cobblestone sells is because when people have a building project, they like to spend more time placing blocks and less time mining stone.

Prices: do we need it?

Col: do we really need this any more?. I mean we could just as easly change this to a trade chart

Maybe they're just waiting till there's a new Economy plugin. Just my idea here. danielbauwens 23:59, 27 March 2012 (PDT)

OK I'm going to take a stab at updating this page. I will still use the 1 diamond = 100 kubes as a base standard unit. If we get an economy plug-in then it's ready to go and in the mean time it will give people a context to base their trades on. SunnySoulSheep OK after checking this page out maybe I will make a new page as diamond and cake are locked and I want to make the list in a "similar item" grouping order instead. 1 diamond = 100 kubes / 1 dia ore = 120 kubes / 1 diamond block = 900 kubes then 1 gold ore,ingot,block,nugget ect.

Suggestion for calculating enchant-prices

The idea is that you account for the minerals used, ie 8dia for a chestplate, and a fixed price for XP/job.

Then you apply the enchantprices. They are based on 25 for prot1, and via a weighting system goes up from there.

If the maxlevel is 5 and only obtainable through the use of anvils, then the cost is increased by 500.

The prices need to be revised, im certain of it. And there probably are some variables i havent accounted for. However, its a startingpoint...

At the bottom, i have included two small examples so you get the idea of where the prices might land.

Cheers, Koads !

Koads, I think that's a good start. I'm not sure that armor, etc. should be worth the same as the sum of its components. I'd argue that a diamond chestplate should be worth slightly less than 8 diamonds, since the crafting has cost you the flexibility of the components (i.e. armor can only do one thing, but diamonds can be used for a number of things). Also, it might be fitting to handle unbreaking differently. I think it would be better to apply a multiplier (probably just against the base value of the item).

I probably should mention that i rarely enchant my sword/armour, which is probably why i overlooked the different meanings of unbreaking. So perhaps have a different weighting depending on which unbreaking we're dealing with...

1.8 Prices

Now we have 1.8 available, we should update the price list with the new stuff. I might start adding a table here for suggestions...

1.8 Entity	Suggested Unit Cost	Suggested Stack Cost	Notes
Granite, Diorite, Andesite and their polished versions	0.5	32
Moss Stone	0.35	22.4	Because it can now be crafted, should be lower priced? (1 cobble+1 vine)
Mossy Stone Bricks	0.60	38.4	Because it can now be crafted, should be lower priced? (1 stone brick+1 vine)
Chiseled Stone Bricks			Because it can now be crafted, should be lower priced? (2xstone brick slab....Where are all the slab prices?)
Cracked Stone Brick	0.6	38	Because it can now be crafted, should be lower priced? (1 Stone brick+1/8 coal)
Sponge (New)
Prismarine			4 x pris. shard
Prismarine Bricks			9 x pris. shard
Dark Prismarine			(8 x pris. shard) + 0.15 (ink sac)
Sea Lantern			(4 x pris. shard) + (5 x pris. crystals)
Door			Should be 1/3 of current price because you get 3 doors now, i.e. 1 iron door=10ku, 1 wooden door = 0.5ku
Raw Rabbit
Cooked Rabbit
Rabbit Stew			cooked rabbit + 0.6875 (for the other ingredients)
Raw Mutton
Cooked Mutton
Rabbit's Foot
Prismarine Shard			input to other prismarine materials
Prismarine Crystal			these look quite hard to get.... input to Sea Lantern
Rabbit Hide	0.25	16	4 hides = 1 leather
Depth Strider Ecnhanted Book
Leaping Potion
Red Sandstone	4	256	can be crafted from 4 red sand
Fence	0.4	27	new crafting recipe
Coarse Dirt	0.1	6.4	4 blocks can be crafted from 2 dirt + 2 gravel. so the price should be 0.1 (same as dirt and gravel)...not sure why it is listed as 0.5 right now.
