Due to the recent and not so recent changes in prices in most items I am going to do my best to make a guide for prices for artifact, planets and special materials.

Notes:
*This is not a end-all-discussion. Both traders (buyer and seller) can offer prices that vary from the prices I am listing.
*This is from my personal experience, other may have different values.
*In order to make a more universal guide several assumptions will be made and stated when applied, it is up to the buyer and seller to determine if the assumptions are valid for their trade.
*I am not an expert nor am I moderator, if you have a trade that gets botched or you get ripped off it is your responsibility not mine. This is solely to reduce the number of people being ripped off, which seems to be more and more frequent.
*Due to the fact that prices change weekly, sometimes daily, I will do my best to keep up but again this is not a end-all-discussion solely a guide.
*"standard rate" refers to an old standard in which 1 ctp=10ku=100em, this has changed dramatically due to several factors, including several bases rising in levels and the GTC coming out.
*Rounding errors may occur

Special Materials:
1 Complex tech part (CTP) = 50 kurenite (ku)=75M-100M credits*
1 ctp=300-350exotic matter (em)**
Political Favor (pf) = 1-2ctp
Prejoran tech = 2-3 ctp***
XTS-9 =2-3 ctp****
Zolzain debris = 2 ctp


*this is through the GTC prices are still a bit too racial to get too accurate of a range
**On the GTC em is easily purchased for 1000-12k credits a piece. It is likely that the ratio of ctp to em will rise and em will continue to fall in price.
***my experience is limited with this
****I am going off old prices since I have never actually bought any, if someone has better knowledge I will edit this to reflect it

Artifacts:
I am only putting a single ctp price some maybe vary but these are price I see commonly.

Planets
Assumptions:
Vl 16x toxics are worth 650 ctp, C 17x research plasmas are worth 2k ctp and C 15x artifact plasmas are worth 15k ctp
Price will be determined by amount of production, resource type, passive abilities. Not size/resource availability directly

Resource type ratios will be as follows: Mining =1.17* Research =2.72* and artifact = 22.17*
(rounded for simplicity)

To determine Production:
Due to wide range of artifacts that can be placed and people's builds on planets, the amounts of point from structures will be based on personal builds:
Very tiny: 20
Tiny: 22
Small:27
Average: 31
Large: 35
Very Large: 40
Massive: 43
Very Massive: 46
Colossal: 50
Mega Colossal: 70*

*Due to the limited number each person can make for themselves (8, 3 rift 5 oceanics) I am assuming special artifacts and none repeatable builds for this size

Resource
Rich=4x
Extremely (ER)=5x
MegaRich(MR)= 6x
MRx2= 7x
MRx4= 8x

Production= Resource*Points from Structure

Passive Abilities:
Defense: +10 ctp per 100 defense (completely arbitrary)
Attack: +7.5 ctp per 100 attack (completely arbitrary)
Cloak: +20 ctp per 100 cloak up to 3100 (completely arbitrary), bonus for amount greater than 3100 (due to use of dark badges)

Random Planetary Events
Stealth Cloak: 1.25x Multiplier (completely arbitrary)
Lush Biosphere: 1.05x Multiplier (completely arbitrary)
Reactive Barrier: 1.25x Multiplier (completely arbitrary)
Subterranean Caverns: 1.2x Multiplier (completely arbitrary)


QSE: 2k ctp
Terraformer: 1k ctp
Reality Transfuser: 3k ctp
Effects:
Advanced Civilization Ruins: 1.2x Multiplier on Artifact planets only
Planetary Rings: 1.2x Multiplier
Small Moons: +500 ctp* (completely arbitrary)
Large Moons: +1000 ctp* (completely arbitrary)


*These effect planet size and most likely alter the build used on the planet, but due to the variety of the planet sizes, the effect varies. I put fixed amounts since people will most likely use QSEs to get the biggest planet they can and get as much use of these as possible.

To determine a price of a planet:
Ie C 17xresearch plasma
50*14.5*2.72= 1972+30 (passive defense 300)=~2000

Vl 16x mining toxic
40*1.17*14=~650

C 15xartifact plasma
50*13.5*22.18=14970 +30 (passive defense 300)=15000


Any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and/or input is welcomed. Please refrain from posting +1 or any nonsensical comments that do not contribute to maintaining the prices up-to-date.

debris normally went around 2 tech ea. no idea what the gtc has/will go to the price of that though

calming amps i think are more of 2 but ive seen sold at 3 alot

ptv price may be high as i can't sell any and that may also go on the list of occasional give aways

void foci share and orbital mass disruptor share i think are about 8-10 ctp

might be low on the price of moons, and ruins depending on type and size of planets may still be relevant as project planets.

few other artis that i think are a tad off but overall agree on most prices.


Thanks for making this. might help decrease the amount of price gouging going on.

drop rsls to 200 there a very low demand item

Fix your original post.

You say C 15X plasma but I'm sure you meant C 15X artifacts

I see more for 250 than 200.

and when you say 200 ctp to the seller you get them for that much of the 6 or so ive bought only one person ever said no

thanks heaps for taking the time to make this, it's gonna be real useful to me and my legionmates

Em, i hardly ever see being sold for less than 230 any more so i'd move it more towards 250-350 per ctp

CTP is from 25 millions(and that's like snipe on GTC) till 60 millions(GTC also) per 1, that's up to 40 ku per ctp. Of course there are the occasional 80-100-150 millions/ctp but there is no reassurance that they sell.

The prices below are rectifications of the list mentioned above as they are prices currently used by not 1 but various sellers/buyers.

Calming amps are 1-2 ctp
Foci - 6-8 ctp
Disarming Bombs - 0,5 ctp
Flux Probes - 1-2 ctp
Grid Consoles - 2,5-3 ctp
Halc Traps - 0,3-0,5 ctp
Nanite Swarms - 3,5 - 5 ctp
Positron Clouders - 1-2 ctp
Quantum flares - 3-4 ctp(I don't get it how your personal experience affects this and you state they sell for 4 when you sell them for 5)
Repair Nanos - 9-12 ctp
Shield Amp - 2,5 ctp
Shield Restorers - 4 ctp
Time Manipulators - 6,5 - 8 ctp

VL Toxics start from 1000 ctp(see tree) till 2500 ctp
C 17x Plasmas are from 4000 till 6000 ctp
C 17x arti jump over 20 000 ctp easily(considering a VM 15x arti goes for 20 000 ctp imagine a colossal)

Regarding the arties which can be obtained for free but some people will aim a profit and charge you, well I doubt my legion mates can provide me with 500 sentry guards just for CT Lab(and think of the other legion mates who might need them for CT Lab), yes, some of them can be provided for free but not all unless you're in a legion filled with high ranks only.

Where do you commonly see prices of Ancient Crystal Foci being sold for 5? I haven't seen that price in like forever except for the occasional 2-10 pieces sold by small ranks most likely.

you're welcome but...




I have seen prices of ctp vary as low as to 125k per for batches of 100, I put a smaller range that encompassed what I thought to be a more successful rate of selling. I haven't had people buying for 50M a piece for awhile.

I stated I am not doing ranges, yes some are on the lower end some the higherend, but honestly it doesn't need to be 100% accurate, just give people an idea.

as for the flares, what I sell at and what I try to sell can be two different things.

planet price vary, I said it was an assumption for those prices and again not putting ranges.

The arts I put for asking and getting for free was in the trade groups not from legionmates. If I put legionmates then all artifacts would be free.

ACFs were just a type-o meant to put 6

ranges would be a more accurate way to represent tho

Pyramids go for 10 ctp minimum as I've seen yesterday 2 people selling them for 20 ctp and 15 ctp each, one who wanted to buy for 15 ctp each and just now somebody who's selling them for 15 ctp each.

As for Calming Amps(due to being heavily required in CT Lab) they go for 2 ctp minimum/standard and the foci price set at 6 is also minimum. I know a bunch of people who would just love to buy 2000 of each for 1 ctp and 6 ctp as they sell kinna instantly at those prices.

So, lets see... Planet Fluxes for 800CTP, and Rogue Science League Memory Implants, for 200CTP. I don't know where you're getting your prices, but they've never been that.

Perhaps he can afford them only that price lol.

Seen tons of players selling RSL implants for 250 ctp quite fast(as in minutes), also seen them going as high as 350 ctp(auctions but rare cases).
As for Planet Fluxes, they vary from 950 till 1100(occasional 1200 but don't know if he sold them).

Definitely not NEVER been that. Thats what they used to be consistently. nowadays not so much. Still can get rsl's at 200 though. May have to wait awhile, and have quick reactions, but they can be gotten.

i dont know what how long you have been playing but fluxes did used to be that price i also dont know where your getting that from as i dont see planet fluxes mentioned anywhere in this thread for 800

2 people selling pyramids for higher than 10 ctp is not reason enough for me to change the price sorry, but I still can find plenty offering at 10. These again are at my own personal experience and prices may vary...stop being nit picky.

updated dark pyramids and nanos.

This is not meant to be a discussion thread. Everyone's experience will vary, especially those who frequent the trade groups more than others. I do not expect this to be 100% accurate nor am I striving for it. It is simply a reference for people who are trading to have an idea so that they are not paying 20 ctp for a pyramid or 40 ku per ctp. IF you have information about a better way to calculate prices for planets, the price of trap probe shares (if anyone even bothers to do them) then great put it here, otherwise I don't really expect major changes in the price until the weekly is over and dark pyramids are not in as high demand and/or a new mission requires a different artifact. If you would all please stop arguing over the tiniest difference in amounts on this thread that would be great.

erm

Do you have to point everything out? Anyway, criticism IS NOT discussion.
