After spending quite awhile looking for a channel to sell off LP from running missions, I found basically nothing besides a sales ad in the marketplace for specifically faction warfare LP. But I run missions, not faction warfare, and I need a way to offload this damnable LP!
So I created an in-game channel and a set of mailing lists for specifically this purpose. A channel where anyone with any kind of LP can barter and advertise for the buying and selling of it. Any faction, anything. I “modeled” it (very very loose use of the term here) after the CONCORD LP trading channel that incursion runners use. That is to say the only rule is don’t be a jackass. Right now I’m the owner and operator so if people are asshats you’ll have to take it up with me, but if this channel does get big I’ll think about adding other peeps to help moderate if needed. Check it out in-game, just join the channel “Mission LP” or any of its mailing lists:
Exactly the same as the Concord LP channel, you join the channel and advertise there to anyone that happens to be there. Unlike Concord LP faction lp is pretty specific, but mission runners stockpile hundreds of thousands or even millions of the stuff way faster than Incursion runners can get Concord LP.
Right now the channel is fairly sparse, because its brand new. So mostly what needs to happen is word has to spread- people have to join and lurk in the channel! The mailing list will be more reliable for buyers, most likely, since they can send a mail out to specifically those with the list for their faction and get responses from those who have LP with that faction.
So if you’re ever at one of the trade hubs, feel free to drop a link to the channel! Also good idea to bump this post occasionally, so peeps can see it!
you give him the materials (and he gives a deposit), and he redeems the item, and then trade you the item for the LP/ratio cost and deposit back.
also, check the concord LP channel for the ban list of people who have scammed and should not be trusted to trade with, as there isn’t a safe way to really handle the LP conversions.
Unfortunately there is no simple answer to buying LP. The simplest way to think about it is a 3 step process
1 - The Buyer of the LP tells you what item they want from the LP store you have LP for; sometimes they’ll contract requisite items (such as tags or redloot) along with collateral for their value (to avoid scam).
2 - You take the items they contract, if any, go to the LP store they want the items at, and buy those items from the store.
3 - Contract the items back to the buyer for the full value of the collateral (if any), plus the raw isk you paid (if any), plus the value of the LP (for most its gonna be about 500 isk/lp, maybe more for certain factions, but DED is typically worth 15k/lp)
Gonna bump this to keep it from closing. Need more eyes on the channel! More people there are, the easier that trading LP becomes! Though frankly a great deal of this would be unnecessary if BPCs could be put up on trade markets XD
