| == Scope ==
| |
| Using EQ Traders as the only reliable source of EQ vendor pricing, we can assume the following:
| |
|
| |
| * Charisma has meaningful breakpoints, especially between ~61–76 and ~100+, after which additional CHA has diminishing or no effect.
| |
| * Faction breaks into three functional tiers for pricing:
| |
| # Apprehensive, Indifferent or better, and Dubious or worse. (Indifferent-or-better vendors give identical prices for the same charisma—Ally does not improve prices beyond Indifferent.)
| |
| # Dubious-or-worse vendors won’t sell to you at all.
| |
| # Apprehensive vendors will sell, but prices are significantly worse unless charisma is very high.
| |
|
| |
| These two facts define the scope of our current testing: you only need to test Apprehensive and Indifferent factions across a range of charisma values.
| |
|
| |
| == Control Variables ==
| |
|
| |
| '''Vendor''': Use one vendor for the entire test.
| |
|
| |
| '''Item''': Use one item with a stable base price (e.g., Water Flask, Bandage, Torch).
| |
|
| |
| '''Faction level''': You must be able to reliably set your faction to:
| |
|
| |
| * Apprehensive
| |
| * Indifferent
| |
| * (Optional) Amiable / Kindly / Warmly / Ally — but these will all give identical prices.
| |
|
| |
| '''Charisma value''': You need a reproducible way to set CHA to specific values (e.g., 50, 75, 85, 100, 120, 125, 150, 175, 200).
