Paying for Boosting Part 2

When Beld left off, he had me owing him 4,500 gold. I can't argue with his logic. It is fair and precise, if somewhat incomplete. But everyone that knows Beld, also knows than he likes to leave things unfinished. Well, I cannot leave such a great article unfinished, so here is Part 2.

Loot.

Though Beld claims he spent 50 hours looting, 25 of which he claims I owe him. Fair enough as well, except, I generated all the loot. If you look at a Wholesale to retail relationship, Beld would only be taking a 20% cut from the funds generated from the loot. I make a guess that we earned around 2,000g from the Loot I generated. 20% of which is 400 Gold. Since we pretty much went 50/50 with the gold, Beld would owe me 600G difference.

Boosting.

In order to be able to Boost our characters, I used two of my level 70's. Now just for simplicity's sake, I will start with my Mage. I leveled my Mage pre RAF, so let’s say that’s about 5 Days Played. She has only got very basic gear so let’s ignore that aspect. 5 Days Played at 300g per hour comes to 36,000G. Now in all fairness, I can’t charge him that. I have other benefits as well. Since we both gained out of this, I’ll start by halving it. Now 18,000 gold is still quite the sum, when we only used it for say half of the RAF time, so let’s half that as well. Now we are sitting on 9,000G. The only thing here is the mage is still mine, and I can continue to use her for other activities. To be fair, I will quarter it. Even though she has probably spent more time boosting than anything else, I will have future use. So we now have 2,250g plus 600g for a total of 2,850.

Feral Boosting.

Ah, see I used two characters so it’s only fair that I add another 2,250g for the use of the Feral. 5,100g. Ah, but wait, why did I use the Feral and not the Mage? That's Easy. My Feral has close to T6 equivalent Gear. It has taken me many long and arduous hours to get him to that level of gear. What sort of a price do you put on 500 Badges worth of gear? Let’s use the AH value for Badge BOE stuff, and guess at about 20g per badge. There is another 10,000 gold in that alone. Then you add Enchants, which some are rep based, and of course the crafter and Raid Drops and you would have to double that at least. So we have 20,000g but we are left with the same fair usage issue. Since this is my main, let say 10%.

The Total?

Well we have 5,100g plus 2,000 gold, and we come to 7,100g. If you look at my figures, you will see that I am giving him Charity like prices, I mean seriously, I have easily undervalued the Gear on my Feral, but hey, Mates Rates and all that. Based on this we come to Beld having a total debt to me of 2,600g.

But Wait, There's More!

Oh Beld, I almost forgot this one. It wasn’t just your lovely Druid that was boosted now was it? You see, those 60 hours I spent Boosting, accumulated 30 Levels that could and have been Gifted. Since it's a two to one ration on time and level, lets half the time to make it fair. 30 hours at 300g per hours comes to 9,000g. This brings our grand total up to 11,600g. kk Beld, your terms are gratefully accepted. Razorbax
