So, what is your rate? In addition to the cost of the item, what do you want.

Sauromatia charges 140% of the items cost, Tien Chi charges 120% to neutral nations and 100% to friendly nations.

I thought that was clear.

Neutral nations get a 20% markup. So, for example, a Staff of Elemental Mastery would cost 30 Fire and 30 Water or 30 Air and 30 Earth (normally 25 and 25, plus 20% is 30). While a Ring of Wizardry would cost 78 Astral Pearls.

Friendly nations get items at cost. Where seriously if one of our friends gives us 65 Astral Pearls we'll send them a Ring of Wizardry.

So for example:
Staff of the Treelords
Neutral Cost: 50 Nature Gems
Friendly Cost: 40 Nature Gems

Flaming Skull:
Neutral Cost: 6 Fire Gems, 6 Death Gems
Friendly Cost: 5 Fire Gems, 5 Death Gems

Clam of Pearls:
Neutral Cost: 18 Water Gems, 6 Nature Gems
Friendly Cost: 15 Water Gems, 5 Nature Gems

Ring of Sorcery:
Neutral Cost: 50 Astral Pearls
Friendly Cost: 40 Astral Pearls

Jade Armor:
Neutral Cost: 6 Water Gems, 6 Earth Gems
Friendly Cost: 5 Water Gems, 5 Earth Gems

Does this mean that we are directly subsidizing nations we want to succeed? Yes it does.

---

Furthermore, the only reason that we don't make Blood items is that we can't. If someone sends us 80 Blood Slaves and is willing to wait a few turns, we'll gladly give them several Blood items at cost. We'd be willing to send out Robes of the Archmagi for 40 Air and 40 Blood, for example - even for a neutral nation (once we had he empowerment setup).

As far as we can tell, we're the only nation to have Construction 6, so it may well be worth it to Mictlan, Niefelheim, or Abyssia to get Athames or Robes of the Archmagi for a merely ruinous startup fee (which we unfortunately can't get around).

Operators are standing by...

The Great Catsby has Spoken.

Uhoh...I hope Sheap hasn't left for the holidays already...

That would suck if the connection/server dropped as soon as he locked his door and jumped in his car.

Hehe, both the MP games I am in are being hosted by Sheap
