Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1054 - 285: Wealth Code, Value for Money_5
Ordinary players don't have the energy to keep their resource price knowledge updated in real time.
So the players who post hope that the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce can help them solve this problem by creating a detailed valuation strategy.
After reading the reply content, Ah Lan agreed it was indeed a great suggestion.
In fact, players who have the same worries comprise the majority of the Player Faction.
Especially for new players, it's highly possible to fall into traps when selling items in the Trading House at low prices.
This issue is something he is entirely capable of addressing by writing a valuation strategy post.
He can also make this continuously updated strategy post a long-term advertisement for the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce on the forum.
In the future, when new players encounter similar problems and look for relevant strategy materials, they will come across this guide, thus learning about the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
Subtly influencing players, creating a "white moonlight" effect (the author made this up, no factual basis).
From a psychological perspective, this effect truly exists.
Through a profound positive impression left from early exposure, it continuously brings positive impact to players later on, even influencing their future decision-making tendencies.
It's like the "white moonlight" encountered in youth; even when meeting more people later, that initial beautiful impression remains unforgettable.
The new stage is the easiest period to build trust.
When players first enter the game, they are unfamiliar with the trading system, which can lead to pricing losses, and it is when they most need help.
At this time, the free valuation strategy provided by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce can help them solve problems and leave a professional, reliable first impression.
A memory of helping in times of need is far stronger than embellishing the icing on a cake.
Players who receive help later would naturally develop trust in the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, establishing a long-term bond of goodwill.
The forum's recognized number one "Dark Night Will Come" is a great reference example; in fact, there are now many players on the forum more professional than Dark Night Will Come.
Yet, no one can surpass the popularity of Dark Night Will Come on the forum.
Sentimental value for veteran players, the first strategy mentor for newcomers to the forum, the first person for Star Vein Combination strategy... These early auras have imbued veteran players with emotions toward him.
Hence, the popularity of Dark Night Will Come on the forum has a lot of sentimental value added.
The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce can completely emulate this path by progressively establishing forum influence through meaningful and practical strategies.
With an idea in mind, Ah Lan decided to personally write this commodity valuation strategy.
Although he is the president of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, it's impossible for him to be thoroughly familiar with all the Trading House's item prices.
As players explore Monster World more extensively, the number of newly added Trading House items continuously increases, even creating a comprehensive price list for players to refer to does not solve the core issue of valuation.
He plans to produce a strategy enabling players to judge value through resource traits.
Amidst surging thoughts, the post content steadily increases.
After writing a portion of the content, Ah Lan decides to head to the Imperial Tomb Village library for research.
During the voyage away from the island, he keeps flipping through relevant forum materials, trying to make the strategy content as professional as possible.
Having abandoned the creation of a price list, allowing players to clarify prices directly by comparing.
He needs to create an understandable valuation strategy.
A day and a half later, Ah Lan rewrites the strategy post and names the title:
[Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce: Pricing of Trading House items is a science, but ordinary players can't monitor market fluctuations 24/7; this strategy will teach you the "Five-dimensional Valuation Method," eliminating the need to memorize prices rigidly, simply grasp the core logic, and quickly discern the true value of items in your possession!]
...
Ah Lan's Five-dimensional Valuation Method makes assessing a commodity's value actually quite simple.
The first step, check the resource level.
This is also the core standard most players use to assess resource prices; the higher the level of Spirit Plant or Spiritual Ore, the higher the price naturally.
However, some rare resources have market prices exceeding their level, necessitating the second step, the resource's diverse utility.
For instance, if a player obtains a Level 2 Spirit Plant, they can first check if it's a material attribute used in popular potions; if it is, adding a 10% premium is advisable.
If it is a herb used in making Evolution Pills, a 15% premium can be applied.
If it is a rare potion material that cannot be mass-produced, the starting premium can be 100%+, with groups like the Divine Hall Guild sweeping in for purchases.
The third step is to check for transaction records in the Trading House.
If it is confirmed to be a newly listed item never before seen in the Trading House, it can be sold at 1.5 times the price based on the first two foundations.
The premium space for new Spirit Plants is large, and groups like the Alchemist Guild will purchase and research them thereafter.
New Spirit Ore is acquired by groups such as the Arms Merchant Guild for research.
The fourth step is to assess the attributes of Spirit Plants and Spiritual Ore themselves.
Take the Void Origin Stone as an example, the scarce attributes of such Space Spirit Ore inherently fetch a higher price than Spirit Ore of the same level, as long as it meets the conditions of premium based on scarce attributes.
The Spirit Plant System has similar types of 12 rare attribute types within the Space Department (library material link).
The fifth step is real-time demand.
Example: Prices for potions will significantly rise during major hot events like the Giant Domain battle, causing Spirit Plant prices to rise with it... . 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
...
Within the strategy post, by judging across these five dimensions—resource level, popular utility, whether new resource, whether it has rare attributes, market demand changes... one can deduce a relatively accurate market price.
While editing the strategy content, Ah Lan also included link posts for related knowledge such as rare plant attributes, rare ore attributes, etc.
Finally, he appended a soft advertisement phrase at the end of the post:
[This strategy is provided by the "Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce," dedicated to ensuring each of your resources is worth its value.]
Then.
