Too good to be true.

It always seemed strange to me that improvement requires more of the rare mats, there's no sink for the over-abundant lower quality stuff.

Anyway, your numbers are unnecessarily complicated. I assume you attempted to approximate relative prices to prevent some big wealth transfers, but I think that's not needed. Some speculators will make or lose tons of gold if such change is implemented, but that's basically what happens with every addition to the game, and the market simply adjusts afterwards.

Make it 10x lower => 1x higher for both tempers and runes.

there are just too many green and blue tempers that no one will buy and to destroy them after so much work.

If no one will buy them, they are overpriced.

This really needs to happen. My inbox is inundated daily with as many as 20 of each green, especially after decon.

I have over 1000 of each already. Really dont need them, cant even pawn them off to anyone.

Seriously I play on PC NA and EU. Feel free to pawn away!

yes please

I remember when rekuta sold for 850 gold and kuta for 3 k

Now rekuta sells for 300 and kuta for 10 k

Changes to hirelings never giving kuta anymore and probably to blame, using rekuta was a great way to level up enchanting on your alts fast, i guess now nobody bothers with this anymore

Will never work,

Makes it far to easy to make legendary gear. Would be no real point in farming/grinding to get anything other than green items, which are everywhere anyway. No need to grind through anything, to get the best gold and purple gear, simple just make it yourself. So no point in Dragon Star Arena or MS...drops of this level will be useless.

Especially so if you suggest the same with runes, everyone will be making the best glyphs without the need to buy or grind to get a good one dropped in IC or Orsinium.

Everyone will be in gold gear form the get go near enough, unless ZOS drastically drop the rate at which greens drop.

Not only this, guild stores wouldn't benefit no more, as everyone would already have the best stuff...no need to spend stupid money to get the gear you want/need. Trading guilds would be obsolete, as every other person whom is willing to farm an hour or two a week, would enough tempers to make whatever they wanted.

The game would need levelling out again too, simply because everyone will be running around in gold gear, with the best weapons for their level killing everything. It will become so easy.

I mean seriously, if this was the case, the amount of greens I have in my bank would allow me to make gold gear for everyone on this thread! And then some.

If guild stores are overflowing with green and blue tempers then maybe ZOS needs actually not allow these to be sold, just like trait stones...put a cap on the amount that each character can farm too, stopping people making shed loads of purple and gold tempers and exploiting every bugger else by charging silly money.

Silly idea in my view...

I'm not sure if the specific formulas in the OP would work, but I would be a fan of a deterministic way to get anything in this game.

Or simply make em worth more to NPC vendors so you can sell a stack for a decent amount of money if all else fails.

Making them worth more at vendors could work if vendor price could change with the market. We could simple vendor our abundant mats for say 75% of market value since they are not selling to players anyways.

ESO doesn't need more gold poured into the economy. If something doesn't sell, how do you know its market value?

Unrelated but what ever ...
I think many items should have a base value higher then they currently do and that guild stores should be designed to not allow prices bellow vendor value + listing fee + taxes + 2 %. No item should trade for less then you can get at a vendor and for some silly reason this still seems to happen according to pricing add ons.

Why not? It's always nice to find mats sold for 3g. Maybe some people have enough gold and like helping strangers, so they ask less than they'd get from vendors... Or they just didn't bother checking vendor prices (probably because they have too much gold to care )

in blacksmithing
honing stones are 12g and temepering alloys are 8k
8000:12=666 honing stones for each temp alloy
if 500 honing stones=1 temp alloy it wouldnt change much the prices but...
perhaps it will raise the price for greens and blues (more demands and less supply) and ofc for temp alloy, but just now when banks and bags are full of small tempers, after, things will go back to normal
like i said i dont wanna get legendary fast i just wanna clean my bank in a usefull way

1 base VR16 mat is worth more than the weapon or gear they were in, so my greens and blues are piling up again. I can't say the same for purples though, I've been doing a lot of gear making/testing lately.

+1 for this idea.

What! just because there are 1000000000:1 --- Ta:Kuta in the game. What would you do without all those Ta... Someone actually bought a stack of Ta off the trader yesterday. They must be thinking that they would get good xp gains from such an amount (heh).

I think people undervalue the Ta's for what they truly are. People with new accounts/characters still need to level enchanting. Ta's are the best way to do this. No one is going to get me to level enchanting from 1-50 using denatas or rekutas...let alone Kuta. So there is still some value to them albeit for leveling only.

If you have all these tempers laying around why not just make armor or weapons and sell them on the market? This is what Ive been doing so I gladly buy a lot of green and blue tempers. I'm on PS4 so maybe thats why selling armor and weapons is profitable but I cant see it being too different on the other platforms.
