Subject: RE: Cost of the Aqualung & Rebreather


I would like to know where everyone is buying their supplies since the new
items cost me more than what I am seeing.

Aqualung
189000 copper (189pp) Fine Coral Mesh
15750 copper (15.75pp) Silk Lined Steel Helm
1050 copper (1.05pp) Metal Twine
2887 copper (2.887pp) Gnomish Bolts
787 copper (0.787pp) Metal Rod
0 copper Fresh Fish

209474 copper (209.474pp) Total Cost

Rebreather
209474 copper (209.474pp) Aqualung (this is assuming NO failures on the
Aqualung
157500 copper (157.5pp) Lime Coated Meshing
141750 copper (141.75pp) Sharkskin Tubing
91 copper (0.091pp) Firewater
15750 copper (15.75pp) Metal Fastening
367500 copper (367.5pp) Medium Plate Helm

892065 copper (892.065pp) Total Cost (this is again assuming NO failures on
the Aqualung)

Now lets start applying some failure rates to the Aqualung

At a 10% failure rate on the Aqualung goes to 232749, and the cost of the
Rebreather goes to 915340 (915pp)
At a 20% failure rate on the Aqualung goes to 261843, and the cost of the
Rebreather goes to 944434 (944pp)
At a 30% failure rate on the Aqualung goes to 299249, and the cost of the
Rebreather goes to 981840 (981pp)
At a 40% failure rate on the Aqualung goes to 349123, and the cost of the
Rebreather goes to 1031715 (1031pp)
At a 50% failure rate on the Aqualung goes to 418948, and the cost of the
Rebreather goes to 1101539 (1101pp)

Now let's go one step further, since the above costs are only figuring in
the failure rate of the Aqualung. What happens when you fail the
Rebreather?

At a 10% Failure rate on the Rebreather add 11% to the above prices for the
Rebreather
At a 20% Failure rate on the Rebreather add 25% to the above prices for the
Rebreather
At a 30% Failure rate on the Rebreather add 43% to the above prices for the
Rebreather
At a 40% Failure rate on the Rebreather add 67% to the above prices for the
Rebreather
At a 50% Failure rate on the Rebreather add 100% to the above prices for the
Rebreather


So taking an extreme example, at a 50% failure rate on the Aqualung and a
50% failure rate on the Rebreather, we are talking a cost of 2202pp per
Rebreather (that is Cost to make it, not what it would actually sell for).

Something to think about

And if my prices above on the parts are wrong, please tell me where you are
getting them, since that is the price I get with a 110 charisma at the
Windmills.
