Another topic on the subject some might say.
Well I just want to summarize the info in a single place and mention a small issue to be corrected IG
Beside I hope you won’t be offended if I say that it would be great if the whole topic explanations could be made available to all IG and not outside game.
The price used to manufacture things is based of the materials to manufacture at ME 0 (adjusted cost)
Ok great so if I understand all of this correctly then :
Component Adjusted Cost = Component_price x Component_Qty_@ME0
Which leads us to (as an example)
IEV = Tritanium_Price x Qty_Tritanium_@ME0 + Pyerite_Price x Qty_Pyerite_@ME0 and so on …
One question still : which price is considered ? the average price in the station/system/region/universe ? Any answer would be welcome thanks
Small Issue
Beside I figured that the IEV price used to determine the cost of a manufacturing job does not correspond to the 2% IEV price used to determine the cost of a copying job as you can see on the screen shots below :
It’s a figure that’s somewhat manipulated by CCP, to avoid manipulation by players. It kind of tracks the universe average, but not quite. They do not explain where it comes from.
When I’m talking about the adjusted cost, that is the price which is used to calculate the price, which is used to then calculate the manufacturing cost.
So you take the adjusted costs for each of the materials, multiply it by the quantity at ME0, add it up, and that’s the base item price (the EIV in the screenshots above), which is then used in all the cost calculations. (for manufacturing, copying, etc.)
As for the copying bit: you’re not taking into account that you’re doing 10 run copies.
The average is a 28 day rolling average. That value is used for estimations in your assets.
The adjusted value isn’t displayed anywhere but in the industry details. And how that’s created is held privately by CCP. But in part it’s to avoid the issue you see above.
thanks
