![]() Whatever the reasoning, I see this is as NPC taking care of arbitrage just as you are. If there was an occasional shortage of supply, the price may rise, but this would also lead to price rises further down the chain. The price of any resource will always be higher the futher you travel from the supply. Originally posted by markakeen:This is just nonsense economics. Surely these NPC traders (who in many cases will have built up their wealth over generations) have some basic level of intelligence? If for some reason there was suddenly a huge spike in price then genuine NPC merchants who travelled to Urgune during such a period would refrain from buying, not simply buy at any price and then dump it at a substantial loss three days journey away. It does not happen everytime, but there is a chance built. ![]() And since lots of people have to get rid of the ore to pay for their crew, they have to sell it even at a loss so the price goes down. Then they go to, for example, Ovoros, carts fully loaded with ore hopeful to make a profit, and see that they were not the only ones who had this idea. Everyone thinks that there's going to be a good price in Urgune so everyone goes there to buy, pushing the price way up. But the market algorythm takes into account other non-visible NPC traders into account. That intuitively should mean that the price of this certain good is always lower.
