Price Estimation

Price Estimation is a Tier 1 Engineer skill that displays the approximate market value of items when the player examines or hovers over them in the inventory. This allows players to make informed decisions about which items to keep, sell, or use as crafting materials without needing external references. Higher ranks improve the accuracy of the estimation and may also display comparison values for similar items in the player's inventory.

Price Estimation synergizes with the overall Engineer toolkit's focus on information and efficiency. When combined with Area Scan and Advanced Tools, it enables players to make real-time crafting and looting decisions based on value awareness, improving the economy of every expedition. For players who engage with Everwind's trading systems, Price Estimation accelerates the process of identifying profitable items and avoiding keeping low-value clutter.

Price Estimation is a quality-of-life skill that pays dividends across all playstyles by eliminating guesswork in loot decisions. It is particularly valuable for players in the early and mid-game when resource scarcity makes every item choice meaningful. Investing in Price Estimation early ensures that players never accidentally discard valuable materials or carry unnecessary low-value items at the expense of inventory space.
