Welcome to the latest SFE Price Guide! Well, it has been a month of consolidation. We have just finished the construction of a new database for analysing our own sales and markup history data. As a result, there are a few minor price adjustments we needed to make to a few armours. However, there has also been a major adjustment is our Lich price, which is now ridiculously cheap, for what it is. I can hardly believe my own maths. Price Adjustments First, the big news. We have decided to reduce our price of Lich (L) by approximately 60 ped per piece. That means it's now about 420 ped cheaper to buy a suit of Lich (L), for a total of 2,389.38 ped. That's a suit of armour that has 45 IMPACT PROTECTION, among other things, for less than 2400 ped. If you're serious about your hunting, top end protection has never been this good a deal. Dunkel Plastix has been dropping in cost for some time, but that trend has finally changed course, and the price is is significantly higher than it was a month ago. We've decided to pass on some but not all of this increase for Dragon and Expedition. The increase in Dunkel Plastic caused us to push up our prices for Dragon by 40 ped for the whole suit. The increase in Dunkel Plastic caused us to push up our prices for Expedition by 70 ped for the whole suit. We have increased the price of Luna (L) because Robot Flare Filters seem to be continuing a price rise. A few months ago they were in the 450% price area. Today they're around 720%! The cost of a suit, however, has only increased by 48.51 ped, because we decided to absorb some of the increase. We believe this still represents good value for this solid armour. Given the above, it's no surprise that Maganite was another material to see a price turnaround, and having hit a record low price for Vindicator last month, we decided to revert our prices back to those of the previous month. So the price of Vindicator is now 40 ped higher, but that is still the second lowest price we've ever had for it, and we still think it's a great deal for this beautiful black and white protection. Our cost to craft Samurai was also affected by the Maganite increase, but we decided to absorb those changes instead of increasing our prices. NEWS OF THE MONTH: LICH (L) IS RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP! I remember when this armour was selling for more than 7,000 ped a suit when it was first released! It's now about a third of that! Good luck this month, if you're participating in Planet Arkadia's hunting competition! Stop in and pick up a fresh suit of armour before you make the trip!
