So, someone want to check my math here?
I wanted to compare the cost of an Obelisk at Dodixie prices to the cost of the minerals needed to make all the capital parts. I ignored the manufacturing slot costs, etc, because I'm not really thinking of building Obelisks to be sold. I was just curious.
Oddly, I came out at the end with a little over 822 million ISK for the mineral cost at Dodixie prices. Obelisks, on the other hand, currently sell for 795 million in Dodixie.
Am I missing something here? Are people making Obelisks cheaper with Jita mineral prices? Did I screw up the math?
Looking for some insight as to why the market is like this.

Originally by: Persona Nongratus Did you count for Material Efficiency (both skill and blueprint research)?
Ah, perhaps that's it. I forgot that blueprints come with an inherent 10% waste. I guess I should multiply the cost of the minerals from the BPOs by .9 or so?
No. The wastage factor is determined by base waste / ( 1 + ME ). That means a halfway decent Obelisk Blueprint with ME 3 has a wastage factor of 0.1 / ( 1 + 3 ) = 0.1 / 4 = 0.025 or 2.5% !
So a Obelisk with ME 3 needs:NAME | QUANTITY -------------------------------------- Capital Propulsion Engine | 15.00 Capital Armor Plates | 14.00 Capital Cargo Bay | 82.00 Capital Construction Parts | 51.00
The capital components are easily research to ME 50, so every component needs:NAME | TRITANIUM | PYERITE | ISOGEN | MEXALLON | NOCXIUM | ZYDRINE | MEGACYTE | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital Armor Plates | 426,662.00 | 100,202.00 | 6,411.00 | 39,068.00 | 1,931.00 | 308.00 | 137.00 | Capital Cargo Bay | 788,956.00 | 65,066.00 | 3,160.00 | 22,197.00 | 900.00 | 129.00 | 29.00 | Capital Construction Parts | 350,072.00 | 84,564.00 | 4,603.00 | 34,023.00 | 1,380.00 | 242.00 | 95.00 | Capital Propulsion Engine | 412,152.00 | 99,569.00 | 6,256.00 | 37,869.00 | 1,903.00 | 273.00 | 136.00 |
Given Dodixie prices:NAME | PRICE | -------------------------- Tritanium | ISK 3.20 | Pyerite | ISK 4.71 | Isogen | ISK 88.87 | Mexallon | ISK 28.70 | Nocxium | ISK 564.35 | Zydrine | ISK 980.81 | Megacyte | ISK 2,691.05 |
It comes around ~ 730M
It would have been simpler, when you'd posted some of your numbers in the first place
