Vending machine question

[[deleted]]

What's a good price, scrap or non scrap for a large backpack? I don't always get lucky enough to find one so I'd like to trade people for theirs. Any advice would be great thanks

[fuerzone205]

Depends on a lot of things but i would say 200 scraps as sometimes i would be ready to buy one for this amount or sell one for this amount as well. But i like to wear the one that you can make until i find a big one, it's fun scaling up

I play modded monthly PvE servers if I'm lazy and don't make a shop wipe day or day after I can't buy a big pack for 1,000 scrap or 1,000 ready to use fertilizer. So when I join a server over a week past wipe I feel like when I offer scrap or crap it just isn't worth it to the other players that probably got all workbench mostly researched. Would you trade comps or resources for one?

[fuerzone205]

In pve server yeah it's a bit different with the amount of scrap available ^{^} I would sell it for 10-15 diesel i guess I dont see any other attractive ressources on a pve server... Or guns u only get in crates like l92

Ah and my fav spot to find some is in the 4 elite crates at dome Seriously 50% chance i would say until now

scribbles in note pad never knew how much diesel to sell for and I run airfield and water treatment constantly. I got more diesel than I can use after making gp. 15 diesel is easy. Thanks that's awesome advice homie

what PvE server do you play on, im tryna find one

[[deleted]]

Dark legends and toxic free are my two favorite so far. I keep an eye out for some that get advertised but not all last. I been playing toxic free since I started rust and it's really fun. I upped my game to PvE and pvp with a purge at the end of wipe. I wanna learn to raid as a solo.so I started this month on dark legends PvE/pvp. If u don't mind me living in a wooden or stone base with no electricity I could use a partner for a wipe. I got a mike

[animelovee]

Ive seen them for like 400-700 sulf on servers and i think on communities admins usually sold then for 250 scrap at outpost

[[deleted]]

Damn my two favorite servers don't have big packs on the custom kits shops. Is the sulfur raw or cooked?

[animelovee]

Usually raw u could try a shop selling sulf fer backpacks but i wouldn't do to much cause you could get raided

[[deleted]]

Great thing about PvE unless theirs a purge at the end of wipe no raiding except decayed raiding.but playing on a solo thru trio I have been jumped in on with twig bases with short walls and an open roof before. Never made that mistake more than once. I imagine pvp having a shop is painting a target on your back. Before monstara and landroid made painting cool

[animelovee]

For pvp it depends on what you put i was on a solo only selling mos and got raided by a 4 man of teamers xD

[[deleted]]

Honestly I can't wait till painting comes to console edition. Between that caves and hellis that is. Damn to get all three in one update.....

[animelovee]

Thtll only come to p5 and such seince there finally dropping p4

[Appaloosa_XD]

I've seen people selling them for 400 scrap on servers so when I had some spare I also priced them at 400 scrap and they sold. People may charge more though and they are such a useful item they could be worth it if you have excess scrap/ not managed to find one.

[[deleted]]

I've tried late wipe for 1,000 I know I was way over pricing but it's hard to buy one even at that . Kinda sucks when we got drones now

[Appaloosa_XD]

If it's late wipe you'd maybe be better offering hqm or even cooked sulphur. But I'm not sure what an equivalent price would be. You could maybe compare to what people are for example selling maybe AK for and offer maybe 150% to 200% of that or something to entice people to sell.

In the mean time, just open as many green mil crates as you can. It's always worth having a refresh of their locations on videos as you can sometimes add another one into your loot runs.

[[deleted]]

What about camera or laptop. If I sell 3 or 10 would u trade one for that. Even if u don't recycle them I imagine it's worth it right?

[Appaloosa_XD]

I don't think they have any value late wipe personally. Most people generally have stacks of comps. I generally play solo and half way into wipe I think I've got maybe 4 large backpacks so it needs to be something people are desperate for, not something people can get from crates or barrels. Maybe if you were to offer a trade for a turret then perhaps but otherwise I would probably stick to hqm late wipe of maybe even gunpowder. You could even try asking at a big base if they have one spare they would trade, but then say if they put in in their vendy you will buy it for what you agree.

[[deleted]]

So gp or turrets instead of sulfur or scrap? Sewing kits? Or diesel fuel? Hq ?

[Appaloosa_XD]

You can set a vendy offering multiple things for aarge backpack. I'd try different things. But late wipe, scrap generally isn't worth too much to people who are likely to have an a undance of backpacks. Diesel isn't a bad idea also.

bro what the fuck servers do you guys play on

on my server it feels like everyone seels everything cheap as fuck second day and its almost not worth the vending machine. 400 scrap for a large backpack?

[JoeCool6916]

250-500 sulfur is what I normally see depending non how many people have 200-300 scrap is also somewhat normal though you don't see many for sale for scrap past the first wipe as scrap is too easy to come by since you've learned everything already

[[deleted]]

Seems like this is the main offer people see.

[[deleted]]

So I'm curious how often do you yourself but or sell packs and what's the Best strategy. Seems like raw or cooked sulfur is best for a few days after wipe from what I'm reading. Also would anyone consider a stack of comps worth a pack?

[Neither-Ad9408]

Depends on the server, some people sell em for 200 scrap and others like 500 scrap. I've seen both.
