You are wanting someone who is actually max JC to do those combines. If you are wanting platinum combines of diamond/black sapphire, if you don't get a max JC you are doing yourself a great disservice - BS combines have a 88.5% success rate and a 86.50% for diamond at MAX JC - every point below knocks additional percentages off. (off the top of my head, i think). To get to max JC takes about 11 hours and approximately 10kpp if you follow an optimum path, which most people won't. Also, 500pp is right in line with market - black sapphires sell for 3k, the earrings easily sell for 3500p. That's a JC margin (that we also take an inherent risk on, there's always a 5% combine failure even for trivials). If I were to advertise my services for 100p a combine, what is to stop the BS Electrum Earring from dropping from 3500 to cost of black sapphire + 100pp. I guess when it boils down to it, a combine is worth what you think a JC margin is worth. Most JC items sell with 100pp margin on it easily - and our cash cows are the high gem / bar combines that have inherent risk where we can inflate margins. Giving out services for cheap undermines that market and poses a risk to financial gain via utilizing a tradeskill. How many combines do we have to put in to make the tradeskill profitable? At 100p a pop that's 100 combines, easily. Now, granted you have 5 combines to do, I'd cut you a deal on all 5. However, it would be more to the tune of 1500p for all of them - with the understanding that you have a non-zero chance of not getting 5 pieces. Tomtee in game, or Scrumph | |||
