Pragmatic Daopilled How to Survive MuhRO Guide by Sophie/Joan: Difference between revisions

#Know what you want and what you need: buying wrong item at right price or right item at wrong price are both bad, but not equally bad (the former is generally worse than the latter). More on this, people have desire sensor so if you want something you should not show it too much because people will exploit it. Better to offer to buy both the thing you want and their materials so that it shows people you can't be fooled and that you know your stuff and able to make one if someone try to offer you some bulls*** price and that there are alternatives and there is more potential seller than sole buyer(you). On the side note don't offer too low too often because you will be blacklisted by people (it will affect your interactions on Men (人) Realm) and it is bad unless you are already of higher strength classification (people will need you more than you need them).

#Be as efficient (farm with better zeny per hour) and effective (farm at better maps) as possible: easier to do than said but it is the classic advice.

#Knows your classification of strength and your relative positional advantage/disadvantage against the other party: Be aware that higher strength classification people tends to be more unmovable like a mountain precisely because they are very self sufficient. They can wait out for weeks if not months until the market situations turns in their favor, even some are selling or buying just for the sake of it, but they could also be unpredictably offer the top money for the stuff they like. So it is generally useless to haggle against them and it is them who shape the environment to their liking. The contrast is if you are facing people of weaker classification, they tend to be more flimsy and will generally need your stuff better than you need their zeny. Even if you want to be ruthless they will most likely bend their knee to your demand (because at weaker progression even with buying overpriced stuff is generally still profitable to people, e.g. sub 50-100m items could triple someone's damage so they will farm x5 their farming speed), but don't do this too often though because people will remember you and possibly have a grudge (it will affect your interactions on Men (人) Realm).
