6.3.1. /LFW
The /LFW tag works just the same as /LFG. When you use this it lets people know that you’re available to do tradeskill work for them.
There are a few things to be aware of when you put yourself on the market in this way. The first thing is C decide on a price for your services before you even start advertising that you’re available for work. Go through your product lists and decide what you want to charge for each type of item that you can make (bearing in mind that people will usually expect to pay less for items made in this way than if you had them for sale on your vendor or vault).
Second, before you turn on the /LFW tag, it’s a good idea to make sure you have all the resources you might need. It’s best to consider every possibility because you never know what people are going to ask you for. I try to have a stack or two of each type of resource on hand for all tiers so I’m prepared for anything I might need to make.
Third, remember that it is always your right to say no. If you’re not interested in making low tier products, for example, then you don’t have to. I do not use the /LFW tag a lot, but I often get unsolicited requests anyway. If they are for adept III essences I will always do them, because making these yields the loams which are used in making rare potions and poisons. When I get requests for lower tiers and I’m particularly busy I will usually suggest to the customer that they ask a lower tier alchemist to make their items C an alchemist who can get experience for the combines will get more benefit than I will, so I am happy to give up some business to benefit them.
Also remember that you are free to set your own prices C but people are also free to refuse to pay them. If you’re uncertain of the value of your services, talk to fellow Alchemists to get an idea of what you should be charging. I usually base my prices on the amount of time I spend doing a combine, and the difficulty of the combine. I charge more for rare combines than handcrafted ones, as the combine is more difficult, and uses more fuel.
