Markets Prices question

[Marie_Kaster]

When looking at the returned data from /markets/prices/, I see {"type_id":34,"average_price":5.22,"adjusted_price":4.53}. What is the difference between the Average Price and the Adjusted Price?

Looks like 0.69

‘Adjusted Price’ is a formula mostly used by the Devs for statistical purposes. We know that it is Global, covering all of EVE and that it is a 30-day rolling average but it also has some secret tweaks intended to prevent it being manipulated by players.

It impacts manufacturing because it is used to calculate factory costs. I pull it from the SWAGGER API for my spreadsheet, there are other sources.

While average would just be the 30-day rolling average without the tweaks.

Awesome thanks for the info.

You also use adjusted price to compute refinement tax. See: https://orbitalenterprises.github.io/eve-market-strategies/index.html#ore-and-ice-refinement-arbitrage for a very detailed description.
