Also the dreaded RNG will no doubt always be part of any prices of those resources that are afflicted by RNG.
For example if atm 'plain' ingots may net 30 gp or whatever, the RNG overdoses us all on plain ore, plain ingots easiest for most, even with lower mining should probably be far less.
Same for 'plain' wood if it is over 10gp a board, when plain wood/oak is also OD'd upon any of us, whom lumberjacks.
Ditto perhaps 'plain' leather etc.
But, be some one new or old, no way in hell a valorite ingot, valorite granite, or frostwood should go for cheaper that whatever prices, whomever thinks all the time they blew harvesting that RNG rarity in enough quantitiy to sell, feels it is worth, of course, players prices will still vary.
Maybe the first and second slots of some resources should be lowered ie plain spined leather or plain and oak boards, plain ingots, dc ingots prob all can be less esp with less folks buyin lately.
Oddly whatever the price is for feathers, that maybe could be HIGHER. Someone has to either slay a lot of birdies and chickenz or harpies etc. to net get a LOT of feathers... worth possibly sellin to some fletcher, etc. & time is also MONEY !
With HS adventure...we prob should figure out for some newer folks if their selling YARN instead of cloth bolts may be even a better plan with 'yarn' being needed to make some HS items over... any need for cloth bolts nowadays.
Also with HS, newbie or oldie miners whom MINE saltpeter...we have NO prices for them to go by to SELL the rest of us whom want to fire that NPC down on the HS docks for slow restockin of Saltpeter.
Our price lists sure could use some updating for Siege, cuz even CHARCOAL is now an item we never needed before...and maybe some folks whom harvest plain wood may find sellin it as charcoal, instead of plain boards may also be a plan for some !
Just tossing out ideas here, with me morning coffee.
