Talk:Kournan Pendant

Just traded 5 pendants at the last named collector, Helenah, at Gandara, the Moon Fortress, but the values for all the items she offered was 100g. I bought the item supposedly worth 270g anyways, only to find out that it did sell for 100g at the merchant after all. Perhaps someone should verify this for me?

 * NF collector item values were changed in a recent patch to eliminate any value differences like that. — HarshLanguage [[Image:qswearing_small.png|HarshLanguage]] 21:46, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Icon Same!
Just noticed that the Icon for this is identical to the Token of Janthir

Yartu collects these too
This page should also show the Yartu collector table, but I don't understand how to make the reference instead of cutting & pasting the whole table.
 * Added her in. --220.233.103.77 21:33, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Optimal value
From what I can see, the best merchant value that can be received from 1 pendant is 60 gold each ?
 * correct me if i'm wrong but i only got 40g as max for the gold scrolls --Kujak
 * You're not wrong, judging from the page it would be most profitable to trade these for the 400g scrolls then merching them --Blue.rellik 05:36, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Not Kournan Pendants, Not Named Collectors
As of today, the 'collectors' in the command post are Smugglers and they don't take Kournan Pendants for the stated rewards but Kournan Coins. --Kymidei
 * There are Smugglers in the command post in addition to the collectors, have you unlocked all the NPCs? Also, please sign your comments. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, the toon I took in there has ascended from Prophecies. I don't know what it takes to 'unlock' more NPCs. -- Kymidei
 * You can sign your comments by typing --~ . anyways, complete the quest "The Command Post" for all the NPCs. --Shadowcrest 21:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, almost, there's still 2 weapon crafters and a rare material trader to go, but yeah --Gimmethegepgun 22:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Does the method for earning profit deserve a note
I would like to see a note that describes the mechanism for producing the maximum profit, even though the article is in Category:Profit if collected. Why force the reader to figure out the best method? Why not make it easier for veterans to see if it's worth the inventory slot? I don't have a specific preference for the text, which we could templatize and re-use. Something like:

 * Profit if collected: you can earn an extra 10 per Pendant by trading 10 to Sinbi for either scroll, then reselling to a merchant.

Calculating profit for salvaging to ingots
I've moved the calculations for profiting from salvaged pendants to Talk for two reasons: (1) the calcs take as much space as the rest of the note (and so reduce the impact of the note) and (2) are of limited interest.

Profit Calculations
 * Net profit = 1710 = 3750 (ingots @15ea) - 1800 (value of pendants) - 240 (cost of 60 salvage kit uses)
 * Profit/pendant = 28.5 = 1710/60 pendants.

Notes &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 22:19, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * To earn at least 15/pendant, you need to be able to sell ingots for at least 12.
 * It's likely that 60 pendants will salvage to more than 250 ingots (increasing your profit); it's also possible that you might need to use more than 60 (although this is very unlikely, as you only need to get 5 ingots from 10 of the pendants).
 * While you can try to sell less 250 ingots, it takes much less time to sell common materials in stacks. (It's also a better use of your time.)
