    Please accept our apologies for making all of you poorer over the last few days after adventuring and going to sell your hard won goods. NPC Merchant prices that they pay for goods were set too low for R34 and will be going back up with tomorrow's patch.

    Do all NPCs pay the same? Are NPCs paying less in POTs intentional to drive us into the NPC cities? (I dont really mind if thats the case).

    Some NPCs pay more for items that apply to their profession. For instance, blacksmiths pay more for metals, and alchemists pay more for your extra reagents.

    Normally, vendors buy at 50% of the item's "value" and sell at 200%. The appropriate vendors were buying at 100% before, then it got lowered to around 61%-62%, which was still more than average.

    I wonder how many new threads will pop up apologizing for claiming Port just wanted to move some more COTOs when people felt the rent pinch.

    Thank you!

    Will there be a detailed item price pass at some point?

    NPCs pay less for crafted items than the cost to produce them, meaning single player offline players effectively have no feasible economy, we'll never get player items in loot tables online, low level crafting is all about losing tons of money, etc.
