Skins and bundling - should it work like this? 05/10/2016 02:58 PM CDT
I just came across what is a bug or issue with skins and bundling - maybe???

I found that when you sell 10 skins individually in a container, you get paid X amount.
When you take the same 10 skins and bundle them (full bundle of 10), you get paid X + ∆y

Is this a feature...bug....?

My wizard is a dark elf, in Solhaven. Is a citizen of Solhaven.
INF: 74 (7)
Trading: 182 (82)
Trading penalty for Dark Elf in Solhaven is very significant so I don't really sell things there with my dark elf, I just happened to run around there since the hunting areas are close and I can navigate the area quickly.

I ran around to a few locations and snagged up 10 skins of various low level creatures since they're quick to kill and skin for him. I then appraised 10 skins, then again with all of them bundled and here are the results:

Skin Bundled Y/N Value Difference
Rolton Horn N 1025
Rolton Horn Y 1035 +.00975%
Daggerbeak Wing N 526
Daggerbeak Wing Y 530 +.0076%
Manticore Tail N 572
Manticore Tail Y 579 +.0122%
Thrak Hide N 575
Thrak Hide Y 584 +.0157%
Boar Tusk N 1656
Boar Tusk Y 1664 +.0048%
Puma Hide N 3943
Puma Hide Y 3954 +.0028%


I'm guessing all the fractions on the individual skin prices are adding up to give the few extra coins. Clearly it's not something I'd consider game breaking, but if you're getting about .5 to 1% extra for each bundle and you on average you're selling 5000 skins in a week and then convert them to 500 bundles....every 10 skins gives you 2500 silver and you get a boost to bundling....

10 individual skins 2500 silver 250 per skin x 5000 = 1,250,000 silver
1 bundle 2500 x 1% = 2525 silver 500 bundles x 2525 = 1,262,500 silver
1 bundle 2500 x .5% = 2512.5 silver 500 bundles x 2512.5 = 1,256,250 silver


Granted it's not a big difference, it just strikes me as odd that's it doing this. I thought that 10 individual skins would net the same price if they were all bundled together. From what it looks like, you'd get roughly a 1% increase in silver if you were to bundle the skins before you sold them.

Well, it's more oval than spherical. Egg-shaped really.

There has to be an Office Space/Superman III reference somewhere in this.
