How much is a good price to charge for a bite without ripping people off?

Little_Bodger · July 2015

I've seen people asking for gold to be bitten by a werewolf near the werewolf shrine in Riften. I have levelled up my werewolf ability enough to have the Bloodmoon perk and have thought about using it to make a bit of money. I'm not one of those people who ask for money and don't bite but what would be a good price to ask for if I want to make money from biting?

Sorry if this is a bad post btw im new to forums

Free

spread the love.

Whatever they're willing to pay.

They're not being ripped off if they're willing to give you that much gold.

Its ten k on xbox tho i got it for 9k

mcurley · July 2015

Pay it forward man. Free is best.

But clearly if you want to make money with it charge whatever they are willing to pay.

Little_Bodger · July 2015

I guess letting people what they want is a good idea. Thanks guys

I'd say free since I always assume anyone charging for it are the same people that actively go and wipe out the spawns to continue their profiteering.

On pc the price is about 3k (+\- 500 gold), however everyone is trying to sell it for 5k.
If you are in a guild, ask there first, it's always a good thing to give free bite to a guild member.

And maybe, they will give you some gold afterwards.

Little_Bodger · July 2015

Yeah free bites to guild members is a good idea but I don't really interact with anyone in guilds. I haven't ever really met up with anyone in guilds, I've only grouped.

5k is imo a fair price for the time it takes to port, chat, etc. and it is not much money. Usually it's not just the bite itself but also awfully long loading screens to port and I often did more than 10-20 lines of chat describing, discussing, etc. so that often you loose 30 min. doing all together

Look at how much people take for other things, as potions.

4-5k on console, they'll become free in 2 weeks or so, i give mine away for free now days though.

Sykis · July 2015

I stop by the shrines once in a while and give out bites. Some tip me others just say TY. Either is fine for me.

timidobserver · July 2015

Charge whatever you want. Either people will pay or they won't.

jazon1972_ESO · July 2015

i have three av's and give three bites a week free, the way i see it i didnt pay for mine so why should i charge others? now i guess if you had to pay for yours then charging a bit for a bite would be understandable til you make your money back.

Sandshark95 · July 2015

Free is always best. I hate how they made it so easy for players to control the market. If more people gave away free bites, Tamriel would be a better place.

Tips are fine. If people want to pay you, then I don't think there's anything wrong with letting them. So long as you're not charging ridiculous prices, ripping people off, or scamming, you're good in my book. Do what you think is fair, and if you decide not to give away bites for free, simply don't charge others more than you yourself would be willing to pay.

I give it free only when someone says "WTB vamp bite" to avoid giving it to most trolls.

Lynx7386 · July 2015

After the initial werewolf/vampire rush died down on PC, the average price was around 3,000 gold.

Still, it became difficult to sell bites because so many guilds or groups out there are willing to do it for free.

dreadnoughtus695 · July 2015

I give my WW bite for free to randoms,

I did someone last night, he walked up to the shrine and asked the area for bite
so I did it. Did not ask for money, he was like "come on man let me give you 5k"
My answer was "No I was bitten by NPC so you can have it for free!!!! "

Seen to many people ripped off and to many WW's kill the NPC's so they can charge
loads of money.

Fivefivesix · July 2015

I sold my bite for 3k once. Pretty sure that's a standard price on PC anyway. At the time I was in need for cash so I sold it to someone who was offering to pay for a bite. I usually just bite noobs for free lol.

ollystephens · July 2015

Free, why charge someone for something that can be gained fairly easily from normal play? I'm always amazed at the amount of people asking how much I would charge for a vampire bite, and then their surprise when I offer it for free. (This is on PS4, so it's still quite a novelty)

Evi1_An9e1 · July 2015

I say free, break the trend of charging god awful amounts for something as small as that. These people also run around and kill the spawns during full moons so they can monopolize that ***. It bugs me a lot anyway I have never charged and I just bite random people every week. Do it for free.

Lynx7386 · July 2015

I run a werewolf guild. At first, I instructed members to only offer bites to guild members, and never to charge. Now that nearly every guild member is a werewolf, I've lifted the rule and told them that they can sell bites, but a portion of the profit must be donated to the guild bank to further the guild's features. Bites are still free for members.

TylerDurden · July 2015

I give my bites out free. I lost 10k total to scammers before I got my bite free from someone randomly at the shrine. As soon as I get my vamp to level 6, I will give those out free also

Surfinginhawaii · July 2015

I received free werewolf and vampire bites, I don't charge for bites.

milesrodneymcneely2_ESO · July 2015

I give mine away for free to the first person who can whisper the answer to a simple lore question.

Like, "Hircine is associated with two artifact-level spears. Name one".

Folks seem to get a huge kick out of it.

o_Skellington_o · July 2015

Free. Heck, there is guilds that hand them out to their members. I'd never pay.

Halfwitte · July 2015

Guess everyone is saying free, because it they charged you gold for them to bite you it would be considered soliciting.

Steel_Brightblade · July 2015

I had a funny experience with this, went to the shrine with a guild member werewolf who was going to bite me. Before he had a chance to my character fell flat on his face and it turned out someone else had bItten me. Turned on area chat and it seems I'd walked into a very vocal disagreement regarding charging for bites, one guy was there trying to charge 12K a bite,5 others were there biting people for free so he couldn't get a sale. This was on xbox, if your reading, thanks for the bite.

Elijah_Crow · July 2015

Free

revonine · July 2015

The hype is real for vamps are wolves on consoles atm, everyone wants either one. People charging demented prices for a bite. One lucky fellow got a surprise bite from me earlier in Bangkorai and I will continue to do so every week unless a guildie asks for one

Strider_Roshin · July 2015

Free. Stop the werewolf farming.
