Library: Merchants

This is to help new merchants get accustomed to things in the guild, and to help you familiarize guild prices. GUILD QUESTS: Currently there are two guild quests, Alloy gold and Blacksmithing. The way to complete these quests, are rather simple. For alloy gold, you must take two refined substances and alloy them together, using the skill alloying, and create gold. Here is a tip. Think about gold and what makes gold, and think of 'smaller' compounds that are similar to gold. To complete the blacksmithing quest, use the blacksmithing skill, and you must create an item of a certain worth, generally between 2000-2500 gold. Once you have completed the quests, you will get a message saying congradulations! TRAINING and STUDYING: Many new merchants come into the guild and ask, where do I train this, where do I train that. Type 'merchant guilds', this tells you where the places are that you may train. It is considered rude and obnoxious to continually ask where can I train mining, where is the hospital place etc. If by now, you do not know where these places are, you are too much of a newbie, and you should explore to find them. GUILD PRICES: As of right now, there is no merchant council in the game, but several of us merchants have gotten together, to discuss what the minimum prices of our services should be. Here is the list: Plastic Surgery: 7k to ~80, 10k to 100 Prot Armour/Weapon: 3k per item, or 2k per item if a bulk order Repairs: 5k + cost of materials Mip and Money Exchange: 5% charge IDs: 1k per item identified or appraised Sculptures: 10k per These should be the minium prices charged, you are more than welcome to charge more than this, as many of us do. MERCHANT GUILD COUNCIL: As of right now, there is no council to help regulate the guild. Hopefully soon, there will be one. And hopefully, this council will allow us to treat merchants who charge lower than the minimum prices and who try to hurt other merchants in a harsh manner (banning from guild, banning from merchant services, etc). If you see people or hear about them charging lower than normal prices, send mail to me, Dethwishh or give me a tell sometime I am on. If you see people doing this, I encourage you to act like our guild is a mafia, and wipe them out :) Steal their mines and really just do anything you can against them. I encourage you to help your fellow merchants, but do not just give them certain answers. This guild is about experimentation, and if you have found certain things out, this knowledge is or should be valuable. I encourage you to use our news group to express your thoughts and concerns. I hope this short little book helps give you a brief explanation of our guild and such :) One thing on our guild prices. If we all work together and keep our prices up, in the long run we all make more money. That is called working together. MINERAL PRICES: It is also considered rude and annoying for people to continually ask on channels, is gold worth mining, what is the price of osmium right now? Here is a way to overcome that. Go to the mineral shop when you first log on, type 'list' and print out that list. Of course prices change somewhat due to supply/demand, this will give you a great value of prices at that time. If you play a long time over a boot, make a new list half way through. Don't expect everyone else to give you an answer that you could get by doing a little work.
