Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) Item Value Calculator
Understanding SWTOR Item Value
In Star Wars: The Old Republic, the value of crafted items, especially those with augment slots or high-end gear, is influenced by several factors beyond the base sale price. This calculator helps you estimate the potential value of an item considering various in-game bonuses.
Factors Explained:
- Base Item Value (Credits): This is the foundational credit amount associated with the item. For crafted items, this might be derived from the cost of the base component or the vendor sell price.
- Stat Bonus Percentage (%): Certain components or endgame crafting processes can impart a bonus to the item's inherent stats. This bonus, when translated to value, can significantly increase the item's worth.
- Enhancement Bonus Percentage (%): This typically refers to the grade of the enhancement that can be applied to a piece of gear. Higher-grade enhancements contribute to the overall item power and, consequently, its market value.
- Crafting Material Bonus Percentage (%): The quality and type of crafting materials used can also influence the final item's value, especially when using rare or superior components in the crafting process.
This calculator uses a simplified model to estimate the total potential value by adding these percentage bonuses to the base item value. It's a useful tool for players involved in crafting and trading on the GTN (Galactic Trade Network) to get a quick estimate of an item's worth. Remember that actual market prices can fluctuate based on supply, demand, and specific server economies.
Example Calculation:
Let's say you've crafted an item with a Base Item Value of 100,000 Credits. It benefits from a Stat Bonus of 5%, an Enhancement Bonus of 2%, and a Crafting Material Bonus of 1%.
The total percentage increase is 5% + 2% + 1% = 8%.
The bonus value added is 8% of 100,000 Credits, which is 8,000 Credits.
Therefore, the estimated total value of the item would be 100,000 (Base) + 8,000 (Bonus) = 108,000 Credits.
