Default Re: Thoughts on Gem Trading Price for Magic Items

If no-one is accepting your trade offers, then your prices are too expensive. It depends on the game, what you can forge, if anyone else can forge it, who needs it, and how badly they think they need it.

Generally, between friendly nations (or for a nation I desire friendly relations with) I'll forge at cost, or a few gems over if the other nation will get a large benefit from the forging. I don't play earth nations all that much, so I rarely have more than two or three hammers.

If you are selling items at base+5 gems and people are buying them, then it's not too much. I'd pay 15 gems for a Fire Brand (if I couldn't forge it) or even 20 for a Skull of Fire (depending on the circumstances).
