Support TMW Player Market
Los Viscerales participants hunt and get drops. Sometimes they need beer or arrows or perhaps they'd like to get listed as a wealthy player on the top 50. Sometimes it can be fun to find a good place to camp and sell a collected set of wares as you are getting your irl day going. The economy is vital to players that would rather fight to get what they want rather than pauper themselves to the benevolence of more powerful forces. LV encourages its members to help others help themselves. Advice on what to fight or showing the way to quests can benefit the game in general with a stronger player base that isn't afraid of a challenge. Advice is always better than gifting if we are to avoid creating a relationship with lazy players that have nothing to add to the game. To protect our interests, Los Viscerales encourages its participants to engage TMW forums and promote the advancement of the economy.

Setting Common Market Values
In order to aid the market, Los Viscerales suggests the following pricing for merchants to sell their wares in the market. Also provided is suggested pricing for resources that a customer can use to reduce the cost of an item. Pricing is only included for items dropped by monsters ("drops") and crafted items. Pricing for less common items not provided. More powerful characters are encouraged to buy needed resources from less powerful characters to help them advance as well as support the continuation of the market.

Suggested Common Market Pricing
Infantry Helmet, Jean Shorts, Leather Gloves: 5-20k
Crusader Helmet 20-50k
Warlord Helmet 30-60k
Chain Mail, Light Plate, Warlord Plate 1/4-3/4 NPC selling value
Steel Shield 60-120k
Leather Chaps 40-80k
Ore 2-5k
Skins 3-10k
Pearls 5-20k
Herbs 100-500gp
Silk Cacoons 100-500 gp
Black Scorpion Stingers 200-500gp
Small Mushrooms 200-500gp
Ash 200-500gp
Iron Potion 300-400gp
Concentration Potion 300-400gp

Bulk Selling (Package Deals)
To move goods faster, some more powerful players may want to sell large quantities of equipment and items to others, who might still turn a profit off the deal. To make it profitable to powerful characters, it is suggested lumps of around 5-20 (and beyond) items be sold around or below minimum value (ex. 5 Infantries for 25-50k, 10 Infantries for 40-80k) so they might in turn sell the items at a higher price and make a profit. Also, more powerful merchants may enjoy buying new clothing and potions, so it is suggested merchants make it easy for new people by encouraging them to collect herbs, silk cacoons and potions in bulk and sell them to the merchant for their own personal use. This creates trust between merchants and customers, makes it easier for the merchant to collect more expensive drops (while growing their wardrobe and xp) as well as advances customers towards being able to purchase more expensive items.

For Newbie Gifting and For Competition
In order to get more players in a situation where they can participate in events, activities and also buy and sell common equipment and items, Los Viscerales is in favor of individuals and groups assisting new players with more common items not on the above price list. This includes most red slime equipment drops: leather shirt, boots, mining gloves, mining hat and the Snake's fancy hat. However, gifting more than this is not supportive of the questing warrior spirit Los Viscerales would like to see more of among players. It prevents more powerful characters from selling their wares, forcing them to fight in the same areas as lower level characters to get money (sometimes preventing lower level characters from getting drops and appropriate xp for all) and it takes the questing struggle away from players with less powerful characters. We'd like gifting items from the common market list to newer players to become less common. Wealthy people are encouraged to grow more wealthy and sell leftover items to NPCs or to player merchants instead of gifting them to newbies.
