Talk:Show me the money!

Delete
We need to decide whether we want individual articles for each inscription, or if we want to cover them all in one big article. This should be discussed in Talk:Inscription. See you there! -- 08:34, 8 November 2006 (CST)
 * This inscription SHOULD have it's own page, since it offers players a tip/trick to get more $$$ from a unwanted gold item. Frostty1 06:20, 17 November 2006 (CST)
 * Agreed. There is value in having the inscriptions on separate pages. It meets reader expectation and can be part of a larger inscription category and linked from an inscription page, so you can still see all inscriptions at once.
 * I agree with the above as well.--[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  08:12, 20 November 2006 (CST)
 * I think we should move/delete it. It's just redundant with the inscription page; "Show Me the Money" should be listed there. Dragon Bloodthirsty 23:15, 20 November 2006 (CST)
 * I see no problem with a link from that page. It keeps it cleaner and tidy.  If people want more details about the inscription they can then come to this article and even discuss it.  Last thing I want to see is discussion about each inscription on a page 1000 lines long so I like the breaking down of this inscription and Measure for Measure and even more individual pages for more incriptions if and only if they end up with additional abilities in the future like these 2 have (since I dont' want a bunch of useless pages either).--[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  08:46, 22 November 2006 (CST)
 * I think it should stay, since this and the measure for measure inscriptions have applications that can be improved with a tip or two.

 * I think it should stay.--Edo Dodo 13:45, 22 November 2006 (CST)
 * I also think it should stay, as I agree there are tips worth giving about this inscription. It would be especially useful if anyone could work out by how much value increases. - Surreality 10:33, 23 November 2006 (CST)
 * I believe that this inscription, along with the rest, can all be placed on the Inscription page, but also include any extra data on what it's functionality is. TheTantrum 20:12, 25 November 2006 (CST)
 * I think that this would mean even more interactivity and in depth discription, it would allow people to see refferences and how the inscriptions are best used--Daniel Rendat 01:04, 27 November 2006 (CST)

% of Increase
Has anyone found a correlation with the price increase by adding this inscription? Eg. It increases the original value by 20%... Frostty1 05:54, 17 November 2006 (CST)

It could be a %, a specific increase (which can be quickly ruled out, due to some being worth a mear 20g and some being worth a few 100g more), a Logarithmic/Exponential Scale, or a mix. It should be fairly easy to eliminate some of these possibilities, if anybody wants to go get a "Show me the Money" Inscription and make a chart of the valus of items before and after the inscription is added. Also, if it's removed, will the value stay at the new higher price? If not, does it go back to the original, or is it recalculated entirely? And, more importantly, does the inscription really have the same effect as the innate modifier? More Testing would be apreciated. Zerris 11:59, 17 November 2006 (CST)


 * I just added and then salvaged a Show Me the Money inscription from a gold, non-max damage gold staff and the increased value does not stay if you remove the inscription. It reverts to its original ID'd value.BladeDVD 04:51, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * Any chance you recorded the before and after price of the item when adding the inscription? (question also added to users page, to increase chance of a response ;-)    Frostty1 12:26, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Fixed Increase
Several test items have been used for the Show Me the Money inscription improvement value It seems that the amount of improvement is really based on the rarity as far as I can tell. The values are as follows, 57 for a blue, 63 for a purple, and 67 for a gold. Note that since a gold only yields an additional 10 gold to the value, salvaging Show Me he Money is only worth it if the item is blue and worth less than 20 gold itself (without the mod, and even with a high wisdom track), with a purple item, it must be less than 8 gold without the Show Me the Money mod.
