Trading is coming soon! 2 days to be exact I think! But I won't bash CCP for not adding certain features like...trustworthiness. Instead, I'll just make it more complicated for everyone by (hopefully) creating a basis for isk trading!

Here's what I'm doing for anything I'll be selling when trading starts:

1 AURUM = 345 ISK

How? LP bought APEX suits! I don't know if that is a solid thing to start with, but its how I came up with this preposterous idea.

One suit costs 58,000 AURUM, or 100,000 LP and 10,000,000 ISK. That (hopefully) means 20,000,000 ISK is equal to 58,000 AURUM. Do the *math, round it up a little and you get 345 ISK per AUR!

*20,000,000/58,000 = 344.82759

How could this help player trading? I'm glad you didn't ask! I'll explain anyway!

1. Warbarge components are 3 AURUM each, but you only get 2 ISK by selling 1 - which SHOULD equal 1035 each. Yes, I can see why CCP would not want that. Ambush will forever be the only ISK farm in this new eden. (Apart from mining I think...)

2. I bought a bunch of 'Raider' Scouts from the market. Like...200...I don't even use them now, but they cost 80 AURUM each. If I sold them with the new player trade feature, I would most definitely charge 27,600 ISK per suit. Thats like, 5,520,000 ISK altogether with the 200.

I don't know...maybe I have less.

Anyyyway, I will be using this AUR to ISK ratio thing when I open up a proper trading shack on the forums. A VERY proper one. With underlines and italics and bolded text. The good stuff.

I dare you to find the price of an AURUM weapon or BPO, and transfer it to ISK. It shouldn't be hard now. Your welcome.

thanks for killing it before it starts

That was the goal yes. :P

now the question is...will you actually do it.
