Posted on Feb 22, 2012 Edited by ScottProduct List V3 (New) http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/product_list_v3.php Full Import/Export Tables: http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/import_export_data_full.php Simplied Import/Export Tables: http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/import_export_data.php Product Stats Table: (Deprecated) http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/product_stats_data.php Product List V1 (Deprecated) http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/product_list.php Product List V2 (Deprecated) http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/product_list_v2.php I am planning on making and hosting a calculator to calculate the cost of making products. I was thinking about just making a Greasemonkey script with java to parse the entire B2B market once per day. Before I do all that work, is there any chance we could get an RSS feed of prices or a way to access a standardized printout of all commodities and their prices? I think it would really open the door for people to innovate with calculators and charting and unless I am completely screwed up, I think it would only be a few lines of code to implement. Thanks. Love the game and look forward to its future. |

Posted on Feb 22, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 22, 2012) Well, I'm a geek just like you, so I understand exactly what you're looking for, and frankly speaking writing a RSS script is simple and can be used as a "relax" activity between real coding sessions... so just let me know what you need and I'll make it.Also in the future I WILL make it possible to lose money (with taxes and export multipliers occasionally falling below 1.0), so your tool may come in handy. |

Posted on Feb 22, 2012 I will chip in here and say what I would like :)A daily update (done at 08:30 AM server time) which gives current import and export prices for all goods. Currently I just copy and paste the whole table and have by spreadsheet dissect it and make it useful but I only bother doing it for a few categories. |

Posted on Feb 23, 2012 What would work well is just export the table to a .csv file and offer a link. Either that or just a formatted text file with data separated by something easy to split().

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 Here's the table version.The page probably looks vile, but since most of you who needs it won't be using it as is, here it is: http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/import_export_data.php |

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 Awesome, you are the best. Is that updated daily?

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 Hmm, something doesn't look right on the table. Where is the price that the import B2B market charges for the material?

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 Excellent table, managed to import it into my spreadsheet and have started working on organizing it, but I noticed that it only contains one of that it contains only 1 of the import countries per product. for example, importing gold only shows china's entry and not the other two countries.

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 24, 2012) The sheet right now is dynamic - generated whenever you view it, updated to the second.It'll be changed to hourly or daily when scalability becomes an issue. As for the 1 country - reason is I only listed the highest purchaser and the lowest quality adjusted provider (so you don't have to do that work). |

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 24, 2012) Highest exporter I fully understand and agree with, but with importing there are many times when I prefer to import the higher quality goods even if the lower quality good has a lower multiplier (I can generally sell more of them for a higher profit per sale)Will give an example Lets say there are two choices to import. Q35 Gold that costs $1530 each (so multiplier of 3 adjusted for quality) Q50 Gold that costs $2100 each (so multiplier of 3.5 adjusted for quality) The import table would show the Q35 gold as the multiplier is lowest But now when I put it in my store, I will put it for the following prices Q35 Gold: $4080 (multiplier of 8 quality adjusted) Q50 Gold: $4800 (multiplier of 8 quality adjusted) As far as I am aware they would sell for about the same with Q50 being favored due to higher quality - but lets say they sell the same. Sold 10 Q35 Gold ($40800 Revenue - $15300 Cost = $25500 Profit) Sold 10 Q50 Gold ($48000 Revenue - $21000 Cost = $27000 Profit) So in this case, even though I bought the Q50 gold for more, I made a bigger profit. I may have made an error on this and if so please correct me :) |

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 24, 2012) I wouldn't know because I haven't tried, and am too lazy to work out the equation...But I'd assume the only time higher quality works out with higher multiplier is when the world average quality is already too high - giving a penalty to the lower quality product. Technically it's not any harder to spit out all the lines, just thought it'd be easier for you this way. But guess I'll make another page for the detailed version. |

Posted on Mar 15, 2012 Can somebody please explain the ratio (quality adjusted) columns please? How can this be useful to me in excel to squeeze more profit out of my products? Thanks.

Posted on Mar 15, 2012 (Last edited on Mar 15, 2012) It's just a simple calculated value of:base price * (1 + 0.02 * quality) As for profits I can't really give much advice... a lot of players are doing better than me, and my CEO is doing better than me (that's a good thing) |

Posted on Mar 27, 2012 (Last edited on Mar 27, 2012) Is it possible to have another table with the demand met% and similar statistics :)Want to work them in into my spreadsheet (which has become a bloated monster) |

Posted on Mar 27, 2012 I know about the one in the pedia, but you have to be logged in to view it and as such I can't import it into my spreadsheet.
