I sell spyglasses for 100pp, cams for 20pp, stalking probes for 20pp, collapsible poles for 7pp, mech lockpicks for 15pp. now you tried selling them for 50pp and couldn't sell them the reason I sell them that high is I gave a bunch away to people for free and asked them to use it when they are near a group of people then if anyone asks about it tell them I made it. The cams i sell to people who are advertising selling bows and I contact them directly because cams cost 27pp+ from merchants.(I do usually sell 8 for 130pp at a cost of 112pp not a great profit but I have 4 steady customers) Now stalking probes I
thought would never ever ever sell but I have huge demands for them people love them for some reason and I have no problems supplying their needs. Collapsible poles I rarely ever sell except to people with lots of cash but they aren't that great anyways so I understand
That's the world according to me

> I do believe formula #1 was the old cap. When I was level 28 about 4 weeks ago, I spent a fair amount of time making Flamless Lanterns and capped out at 65. Every 1-5 attempts my skill would increase one point. However, at 65 I must have attempted at least 30 Flameless Lanterns with no skill increase. I wanted to be certain of the cap; so, when I got to the expensive items I wouldn't waste any money trying to raise my skill when I was capped out. So, I figured I'd test the cap while I was making the cheap stuff. I decided I had reached my cap. In conclusion, formula #1 was the "old" cap recently removed.

However, I have my skill all the way up to 83 ( out of cash:( ). So, in my experience, formula #1 is no longer the cap. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to verify formula #2. If I ever sell these 17 spyglasses and 3 stalking probes I'll get back to testing.

I'll try to find my scrap piece of paper and post the actual data when I get a chance, but I just remember being disappointed that my animated bait didn't out perform the grubs I got from a ranger friend(

I zoned to G Fay, N Kar, and S Kar last night trying to sell Spyglasses for 50 pp with no luck. Could some people either post or e-mail me what they have had success selling and for how much. I will also tell you that it is near impossible to sell Standard Bow Cams. The fletching trade is pretty much used up and not in demand, thus making our Standard Bow Cams not in demand.
