Prospect Peak - Guide Costs up & down, as well as all over the board..

As Thandor, a Harvester, I am tracking the costs of Guides, mal-attempts, etc to know a real fair price for selling my completed wares. Right now, lvl 31, my guide costs for Witches Tower items goes like this.. Red Crys Guide 32s, Blue Crys Guide 1g 50s, Silver Guide 94g 50s, Gold Guide 111g 60s, Green Crys Guide 2g 79s, Emerald Stones Guide 133g 92s, Rainbow Crys Guide 16g 18s, Unrefined Sun Crys Guide 42g 00s, Huge Green Crys Guide 79g 80s, Silk Guide 210g 00s ?? Like a yo-yo, all over the board ? I don't know if the guide costs should be constantly the same price, decrease as your rank increases, but it is noticable that the prices change frequently without just cause ?? All of this seems to be happening on the WT Merchant. Mining Merchant doesn't seem to have the instability ?

Also, what is the rank required to be able to process Lead Bars ___, Refined Sand ___ & Titanium Pellets or Ilemite (+/-) for same ___ ??

Great site. Approved by the wife as non-satanic, rated 'E' for everyone.. like Nintendo games.

I don;t have answers for that...
But just to peeve your wife:

All the guides should now get progressively higher.

They are not identical between sequences but they do rise from level 1 to level 10 in each sequence.

Note the prices of a specific guide does not change. What will change is your barter skill.
Barter is modded by brave, int, will and also by bless. So it will vary from alt to alt and whether you are blessed, until you hit max barter at 150 mod. Then you will know the true price of a guide (or any other item)

Thank you from the Down Under.. truely an aluring country that I would love to visit someday..

Well, it looks like you understood what others had trouble grasping and I will check out the changes, sometime later today.. Self blessed vs. when Jack is doing it, is probably one of the factors that I am seeing, for the most part. Me, Myself & I + a locally grown mushroom, acting as my booster pill, that is the most constant.

As a note, my Bartering has been maxed at 60/128 for several month's now, so that factor remains constant, tho it does not touch your mod 150. Willpower at 30/100 & Intuition at 30/100 are at their max and I am still working on maxing Braveness which is currently at 77/140 ( until it max's.. ), so when I've got an extra 110k to click it up a notch, I do ? I want Braveness out of the way, but not knowing how long it will take, is what is causing the low focus.
