What is SA Ironworks?

SA Ironworks a guild focused on the production of metals and related products. Our goal is to make these products available for trade to those who need them by accepting a variety of common resources in exchange. If you are in need of metal or metal products, large quantities or small, give us a shout.


Products and Pricing

What Do We Sell?

The items we commonly sell are listed down the left hand side of the Price List Table. This includes most types of metals and things that can be made from metal, including crafted tools. We also sell mines and will take special requests for ore and other items. If in doubt, ask Eldar or shadeking.


How Does Pricing Work?

The SA Ironworks pricing model is simple. All items are assigned a value in "IWscrip" and these values are used to calculate the payment price in any item for anything we sell. For example, if Iron is worth 100 IWscrip and Rope is worth 10 IWscrip then it would cost 10 Rope to buy 1 Iron. This is conceptually similar to the Goods model but we do not actually print IWscrip and we do not maintain customer balances. We simply use the concept of IWscrip in order to facilitate pricing between products for sale and items for payment.


The main Price List Table provides a set of pre-calculated prices in common commodity items for all of the products we sell. If you would like to pay with something not listed across the top of the Price List Table simply look the item up in the Item Values Table and calculate how many of the item it would cost to buy the product you want based on the cost of the product in IWscrip. The cost in IWscrip for each item we sell is listed in the second column of the Price List Table. If you have any questions about pricing feel free to contact Eldar or shadeking in game.


If you would like to pay with something that is not in the Item Values Table please let us know and we will try to accomodate. This table is not currently comprehensive and it will grow over time.


Special Pricing

If a value in the Item Values Table is in Red this means we currently need this type of item and we are paying a premium for it above our usual price. If the value is in Blue this means we are overstocked on the item and we are currently paying less than our usual price because we do not need any more at the moment. Keep in mind that the "usual" prices will also fluctuate over time as the tale progresses.


Price Changes

Our prices are subject to change at any time based on supply and demand and our current inventory and current needs. For this reason the prices listed on the wiki may not always be up to date. However, once you have settled on a trade price with a teller the price you agreed to will be honored even if the prices change prior to the trade completing. This "price lock" will be maintained for a reasonable period of time but if things drag on for more than a couple of days then there are no guarantees.
