So I've been doing the Timed strategy but I have to constantly update it as the quality increases.

So I was looking to do the follow quality, but have a few questions.

So if you set it to 100%, does it sell it the quality price? So if the quality is 150 and its set at 100% it will sell at 150?

Then in order to sell higher than that you could do 125%, which it would then sell 150 +25% of 150?

Thanks.

no. the % is of the market price, not the quality itself. you want the % to be *at least as big* as the quality # is. therefore you should almost never sell as low as 100%.

if your quality is 100, try selling at 110/120/130% of market price.

if your quality is 200, try selling at 250% of market price. basically, it goes like that.

I probably agree with Alexander, but I think his explanation is a bit confusing. The % above market setting is not a multiplier, its ADDITIVE.

The following assumes "follow the quality" is being used:

Q100 product, you set to +25, you are essentially selling at the market price of Q125 (25% over your market price, a pretty hefty premium)

Once you make Q200 items, still set a +25, you are selling at the Q225 market price. (12% over market price, a much more reasonable markup)

I hope this helps.

Yea it clears it up a little.

So what would you type in the percentage thing 25 or 125?

you still type in the total number, 125 not 25.

OK great, thanks for the help, so that will increase with quality.

So if i set it at 125 with quality 100, quality changes to 125 then it will sell at 150. Great. thanks again.
