Really just a quick question:

What is the going rate for weapon and armor enchantment? I don't want to be taken advantage for my lack of experience.
Also, could you tell me what the price of other important services is?

Thanks.

after every successful client transaction, keep upping ur price for the next person that comes along. also, there may be people willing to pay a lot for a simple enchantment whereas others might not feel like bothering. everyones different, but expect to be paid a lot for high level rares or uniques. great risk, great payoff means you deserve more money if you succeed in enchanting it.

As the old saying goes: things are worth what people are willing to pay for it.

You could enchant cheap for a lot of people (1k for each weapon) or have high prices and cater to the rich crowd (5k per weapon). Another idea is to charge 500 coins for each enchantment, that way if a guy can only afford one layer he can get it. Toy around and see what works for you.

Glad you asked, Twisted Evil What I think is fair is 1,000 gold per attempt for weapons and 250 for armor, but if the weapon or armor blows up you get half your gold back. The reason I am glad you asked is Mort will be doing enchantments soon and his loyalty is only to gold, so if his luck is not bad his prices are set, but will not attempt enchantments with bad luck, for that could ruin my name.

I enchant for free. 0 cost, nada. No strings attached, if you can ever get me when I'm on and have free time Smile Please remember to bring your own healer.

I usually go 1,000/layer, sometimes 2,000/layer for higher levels.
