After dealing with this batch of documents that must be resolved in a short time, Tang Yu took out several new equipment from the space backpack.
A pitch-black dagger, a long sword that curved like a snake, a broad-bladed combat knife, a meteor hammer covered with spikes, and a bright silver armor.
"Most of these are 2 rune equipment. That combat knife is 3 rune. How many spirit stones can it sell for?"
Tang Yu said, shaking the space backpack upside down and quickly shaking out a piece of paper from it. "Well, and this, the production cost of the equipment."
Elaine took the equipment one by one and put it in her hand to examine.
She injected her source power into the combat knife's blade and the armor's exterior. Some complex lines emerged on these equipment. This was the external manifestation of the rune. But it wasn't a complete rune, just a part of the rune's outline.
People who understand runes can distinguish the specific ability of the rune from these outlines. It's impossible to decipher or even copy the complete rune according to this outline.
Elaine also understood runes. She just stared at it for a moment, then put down the first equipment and turned her attention to the second one.
"Intermediate Sharpness Rune, Beginner Strength Rune."
She murmured.
Tang Yu held his breath and didn't make a sound. He just felt that the appraisal speed … wasn't it a bit too fast?
He thought there were only two rune masters in the territory. Now it seemed that Elaine's attainments had surpassed him.
It's a bit painful.
Not long after, Elaine had finished appraising several pieces of equipment.
Her department was responsible for equipment sales. She already knew the market situation and the price of various equipment.
"Put this one aside first." Elaine took the meteor hammer aside and explained, "Few hunters use this kind of unorthodox weapon. Occasionally, one or two hunters want to customize the most suitable one for themselves. The meteor hammer is not suitable for mass production, but it can still be put on the shelf to increase the variety of weapons we sell."
"The most popular weapon among the Awakened ones is the war knife, followed by the long spear and the long sword. These three categories have the highest sales, accounting for more than 80% of the weapon sales. As for defensive equipment, the Awakened ones mostly buy full-body combat suits and combat boots …"
Tang Yu nodded, "Among these pieces of equipment, the most suitable ones to sell are the long sword and the combat knife."
"Not really." Unexpectedly, Elaine shook her head. "The thing that can bring the most profit is the bright silver armor."
She continued, "Although swords and combat suits are the most popular, we have too many of these kinds of equipment. For example, there are 15 types of saber equipment. Among them, there are six types of one-rune sabers, eight types of two-rune sabers, and one type of three-rune saber.
"Once this three-rune engraved broadsword is put on the shelf, it will be favored by many hunters. But this kind of three-rune equipment is too expensive. There are very few hunters who can afford it. We can't lower the price. In general, the profit is not high."
"Other weapons, including longswords and daggers, because we have too many styles, sometimes the hunters are dazzled and don't know which one to choose. They can only keep trying. Now the supermarket's equipment trial area is overcrowded every day."
"On the contrary, although the popularity of armours can't be compared to battle suits, our current armours are relatively few in number. We don't even have a single heavy armour type … Holding a shield and wearing heavy armour makes it inconvenient to move around, but as long as there are teammates, we can decide the key battle situation. This two rune armour should be prioritised by the equipment department, so that we have a certain amount of stock …"
Elaine slowly said the evaluation of each piece of equipment.
Armor, combat knife, dagger, Elaine had given the price range. Later, the logistics department's union will take the equipment away and analyze to determine the specific price.
Tang Yu also saw the report of the equipment's price and sales in the past week. Listening to Elaine's words, the wide variety of weapons caused hunters to fall into a difficult choice.
He rested his left hand on his right elbow and his right hand on his chin, keenly aware of the problem. "This seems to be a problem."
Elaine pondered, frowned, and said, "Most people don't understand equipment. They can't judge the quality of the equipment. They can only keep trying. But sometimes a simple trial still can't make them make up their minds."
In the past, the Demon Slayer Longsword was known for its sharpness. There was no other choice, and everyone scrambled to buy it.
But now there are more equipment, and the price is more expensive. There's no clear comparison of sharpness, and the function of the equipment is different.
In the end, these buyers really don't know which one is suitable for them. Spirit stones don't fall from the sky. They must be cautious in their spending.
"In the end, they don't have a price benchmark for rune equipment in their hearts. Then … we will set a price benchmark for them."
Tang Yu pondered, and suddenly his eyes became brighter and brighter.
It's feasible!
"If we divide the equipment into types and grades, then even if the Awakened don't understand runes and don't know how to appraise equipment, as long as they look at the equipment's grade, they will naturally be able to roughly associate the specific price. When buying equipment, they won't have to try one by one and be dazzled."
Why are there grades of elixirs and magic weapons in cultivation novels? Obviously, it's to form market norms!
Rune equipment should be the same.
In the past, there were names such as primary equipment, advanced equipment, and so on. But in fact, there was no specific division.
One rune, two rune, and three rune equipment. The boundaries were clear. However, the inscribed runes were different, which also determined the value of the equipment. Two rune equipment might not be cheaper than three rune equipment.
After a moment of thought, Tang Yu said, "Maybe we can give a simple classification first. For example, divided into E-level basic rune equipment, D-level primary rune equipment, C-level intermediate rune equipment, B-level advanced rune equipment, A-level top-level rune equipment, etc …"
"For example, weapons can be rated based on sharpness, plus other special effects."
"We can even subdivide it in each level. The ordinary Demon Slayer Longsword is an E1 level weapon, then the enhanced Demon Slayer Longsword is an E2 level weapon, and the enhanced Demon Slayer Longsword is an E3 level weapon."
"In this way, the equipment has a very intuitive grade division. We can even recommend a range for buyers. For example, to deal with a fourth or fifth awakening demonic beast, it's suitable to buy an E3D1 weapon."
This was just a preliminary idea, and it definitely needs to be perfected.
The more Tang Yu thought about it, the more excited he became. It wasn't just a matter of sales. He was looking at the long term.
The territory couldn't always monopolize the rune equipment sales. Other large shelters were also stepping up their research on rune equipment. Some even obtained precious information from the secret realm.
In the future, there will be more and more forces that could produce rune equipment.
The territory was only ahead of others now, although he was confident that it would continue to be ahead.
However, once this equipment rating system was promoted, no matter how many competitors there were in the future, as long as the equipment rating was mentioned, they would immediately think of the Tree Shade Shelter.
This was the ancestor of rune equipment.
