AOTI: NPC Value

[Phetty]

I remember reading that NPC's pay more for weapons now. Can anybody on the JP servers tell me how much they sell to an NPC for now?

[mizukage]

Sell what?

[Zorafim]

They, duh. No offense, but are you stupid or something?


I'm sorry, I've heard that idiotic statement so many times I had to make fun of it. Anyway, I think I heard something along the lines of, 75% of their worth instead of 5%? Was it 50%? 25%?

[Remedy]

Thought it was 25% instead of the current 5%. Don't quote me on that.

The current version has a weapon reselling rate of 15%.

AotI has a weapon reselling rate of 20%, I believe.

You actually get a pretty decent amount for B-rank or over weapons at the moment. Sure, you could sell them for relatively close to their sale value in your shop, but nobody'd buy them (I'm talking 8* or lower).

Why not? For lower level players, said B-rank weapons would sell for less then they do in NPC shops and, depending on the player that owns the shop, the weapon may even have an elemental %.

From my experience, it just doesn't work out that way. You put up C and B rank weapons/armor and it is rare that they will sell unless they're something like a Florescent Bulb or Del Jagnus. I've had a large number of grinded C and B ranks going at a positive steal for a long time and nothing.

I think it's simply because nobody really pays that much attention to the effectiveness of their equipment until they can use A ranks and up. There really isn't that much of a reason to.

Also, I'm talking about weapon drops. Those are fairly unlikely to have a % worth talking about if they have one at all.

That's a shame, cause I would sell mine. Maybe it'll change in AoI, where the search function will be improved.

Are you on 360 or PC/PS2? I'm on 360 and I can barely keep up with the demand for B and C ranks.

[Kinako78]

Probably PC/PS2. I know I have trouble selling B and C ranks.

[Reipard]

I am indeed on PC/PS2. I assume the heavier load of players on 360 would indeed affect your experience selling these things.

uhh he did say weapons, no?

I kinda figured 15% (three twentieths) was an odd percentage.

This is mostly true, but is fixed by good advertising. There are a lot of good deals not happening because people don't look for them. There are people looking for C and B rank weapons/armor. They just need encouragement to enter certain shops. The new shop search can help here too.

I think I hear something about weapons dropping with random percents.
