Pricing

How much do most of you charge to craft something for someone if they're not guildmates?

As long as they supply mats, I don't charge.

Interesting. I would have thought that with no global auction houses, we could leverage some gold for our services.

You can as people will pay. I can't help you with pricing since I don't charge.

I don't do it often for people I don't know but unless it is CP160 gear I would only ask for them to supply rare trait or style stones if they wanted them. Breton style in divines is fine but if you want Celestial style in Nirnhoned, please provide the trait and style mats.

Trying to make gold out of crafting for people is a pain - they um and ah about the style, which pieces they want and what trait on which piece. Sometimes no amount of gold would compensate you for the time, effort and inconvenience involved.

I use to have no trouble crafting for others without pay, but if you do something to take the time and effort to craft a nice set of armor for someone, it wasn't too much to ask if they just sent you a "Thank you!!". But after several occassions where no thanks at all was given, I decided it was time just to do crafting for my guildies. So next time someone does craft you a nice set of gear, be sure to say "Thanks!".

I don't bother unless the amount of gold is enough for me to stop doing whatever I'm doing. Like, if I'm already in my questing mode or shopping or whatever I'm doing, then I'd rather just do that, then stop it to travel somewhere to craft and only get enough gold for a couple repair bills out of it.

I don't feel bad, because there are so many good guys out there who craft for thank you or for a couple thousand gold per piece tip.

p.s. If you're looking for a crafter with lots of traits or specific rare styles or whatever and can't find one -- maybe I (or another one, I'm sure I can't be alone) just don't bother replying to your post Do mention the tip, and do say what it is to get crafters interested. Just an advice.

I know it's a pain to craft for others. I will only offer for sets that the crafting place is convenient and I tend to go there often (and in that case it's usually only for lowbies, and I'll make it up to green for them, and I'll supply all the mats).

If I want something made I will only ask for a few (usually one single) exact item and will supply mats if I'm asking. F'rinstance I love the Trinimac shield, don't have that motif page yet, and so every few levels I'll ask if there is anyone willing to make a Hundings/Trinimac if I supply the mats.

Usually works out okay.

Generally speaking, I don't charge anything if they supply the material. With one exception in the last year, everyone tips just fine without me asking for it or specifying a price.

I don't know why daily writs aren't actually real player's requests, put in to some queue, rather than some bogus gold-sink. From a role-playing perspective, I could care less about helping a cause in Cyrodiil, lol.

Could someone craft me heavy daggerfall covenant armor

failkiwib16_ESO

PC/EU pricing:
5k-10k a piece, 10k-20k rare styles - if the costumer provides all the materials.
25k-100k or more - if the costumer does not provide the materials.
upgraded items cost additional

---

free if costumer is a cute low level pantless noob wearing rags & a random heavy khajiit helmet. Upgrade it to green and put enchantment on because the noob will probably mess that up

Still surprises me how many players that have been here from day one that still can't craft even a basic set

It actually pays off timewise. I mean I'm a 9 trait master crafter in all crafts .....yet I buy from other crafters to avoid having to gather ingredients, travel to set stations etc.

Trinity_Is_My_Name

Not a single gold piece. Often though the person will want to be my "Friend" so they can continue the crafting relationship. This I don't do because it almost always ends up with them constantly asking for free sets as they level.

xb1LL_mr_sir_LL

people that craft for randoms for free are sad. so eager to be the "hero". just like irl people dont respect a person that doesn't value their time.

ELDARTHVADER

20K with mats/ 100K no Mats. I'll sometime ask for more, as it has to be worth my time!
$ up front as am not going to stop what am doing with out coin and mats.

most guys (group member i roll few times a week with) i craft for send me mats all the time so items set / gpyh / food / drink/ potion / poisons / ambrosa when they ask.

Guild Members i craft for free, and most time they send a 5K TIP.

I don't charge for crafting, but I do charge for mats. I urge people that ask me to craft to get the addon tiny dogs crafting calculator so that they can put together their order and recognize what the price will be. If not I'll plug the order into the addon and let them know what I need for mats, or gold.

Tinydogs crafting calculator will pull the price of mats from the addon Master Merchant if they have that addon also.
