I'm trying to sell a Full set of MP cloth including robe and wonder what price is decent for this. I have been trying to sell the whole set for 6 p but people seem to think that that is a crazy price, so I have done some math. I know for sure that I used about 3p to make it. And it takes a lot of time to make it, the robe alone takes on average 3.5 hours (50 attempts at 4 minutes each). I did the math and found that if i sold all the lower quality and only kept the MP it would at average cost 3.4 p to make (so my 3 p of making it is actually not far from the average cost of making it). So in my head 6p seems like a very fair price. What do you all think? what is a fair price for this set?

In fact, the last sale offer I read was exactly 6p for a full MP set too. I wouldn't say it's too steep. After all, if people can play double-digit plat figures for some remains, why not pay 6p if you enjoy playing a caster?

Tailoring is what people get to do salvage, so expect a marginal return of profit on anything you craft as tailor.

that math doesn't work generaly. 6p is crazy for me (i have a tailor too) becouse casters are the easiest to make temp. you can cap everthing with 99% qua armor and alb doesn't have any hybrid class that needs mp cloth armor to cap everthing like valewalker. also nearly everyone has a tailor for salvaging and they dont wanna pay much more then the cost price (x50 try for mp for example.) as a tailor my advice is take only 99% qua orders, you will have some mp parts while working on them and you can sell them seperatly later. btw if you have a good farming toon dont waste your time with crafting, you can make money faster with doing salvage.

As an Alb, your best bets are spots with top-tier salvage loot (arcanium and duskwood primarily, because those can be trinketed on their own), such as needletooth devourers (large camp in the far SW corner of Llyn Barfog), Ellyll guards and other melee mobs in the 2 opposing camps (also far SW in Llyn Barfog, between the large needler/gorger spot, in both of the little forest patches OR the ellyll fort in Pennine mountains, the latter being more difficult because of linked boss mobs), the wight room in Stonehenge Barrows and, of course, DF. If you don't mind circling around and killing mobs in different places, you can always farm Dartmoor for drops too.

I did 2p in a day farming the frogs of Llyn Barfog. Don't like ellylls, they add sometimes and some has OP insta nuke:P Frogs are much more easier for my friar and there are always more then you can kill.

Strange, I've never had them add unless I got too close. And the nukes (as well as the ellyll froglord's bolt) all have cast times, at least when they're charmed.

best money you can make is to go to the si raids from abydos, if you can run several clients at once its jackpot.
The last raid was like 4h-5h and the reward was 490 uthalis, worth around 34-49p.
For every additional client you have logged +100 uthalis, e.g. zai made 1090 uthalis on that raid.
