Big Project: Website That Shows The Price Of Every Item

Hi Community,

It is a big project but these items needs to be priced so i can create a website that will price items by name. Thanks! :D (everyone that helps will be in the credits section ;)

These have to be priced too :D

See as cool as this idea is, its kinda been proven ineffective.
The market changes too quickly to be gauged and is quite unpredictable.

 

We can make a work around with algorithms maybe. Maybe that it crawls the wynncraft black market forums and takes the current price?

 

Maybe you should start with just mythic items then work your wan down so like once you get mythic prices reliably priced then work your way to the important legendarys and so on.

 

But you see, even mythic prices are rather unstable these days

 

That’s why you have a general rang, but yeah it would still be a large project

 

General ranges don't work cause prices are too unpredictable and unstable to even guess

 

Yeah that’s cap

 

There's been threads that have already tried to do it. But they become outdated too fast. Your ranges would have to be so large as to be effectively useless.

 

Well, we can start with grabbing price ranges in let’s say a month. So what i mean is that a crawler (kind of bot) takes a certain mythic and price it every day for a month. That way we can see the most common stable price out of a month. Example: WynnTiles uses percentages per item. We can do exactly the same but then on this way. Believe me i know how we can get this to work ;)

 

1) your prices will go out of date relatively quickly
2) your prices won't even be relevant because they rely on market prices
3) market prices are not an indicator of current prices
4) The only way you could possibly get market prices to work is to get the prices, send out constant pings to the api to check when they get sold, select a x* period of time that disqualifies outliers from normal items, and hope that people don't over-price or under-price stuff
5) Learning prices would be a much more economic use of time
6) What about items sold in trades?

7) survivor bias, don't do what they did, which was put continual effort in updating prices until they didn't care anymore

Ok.. I forget this project then because everyone is telling that it isn't a great idea :/

 

The idea is cool, I personally also had a price thread for a long time. If you are really active you can keep it up to date (+ it helps if you are trading alot) but if you aren't really active for a couple of hours a day or trading activly you can't really keep the prices up to date
