The amount of new loot in the game is constantly increasing, including valuable items. That is why I suggest adding a new lootable device to the game, which, for example, would take up 1x1 or 1x2 space, and if the player has such an item on them, it would show them the maximum price of every item they pick up (for example, somewhere below the item’s description).

I believe this is a pretty good and logical quality-of-life feature.

I feel things like this will eventually lead to a "Flea market" and that is a bag of issues I hope never come to GZW

newcomers need to learn the game, not have their hand held (more than needed?)

#

also, not everything is about the monetary value of the item

#

tasks, crafting, hideout....stuff that we don't even know yet that devs have planned

#

also the Lore POV - why would it make sense for this thing to exist in Lamang?

I don't have either, but with time I learned to make better choices as to what I loot and what I don't, and am still learning in 0.4 because I still haven't been to TB, MS or FN to check out the "military loot"

#

I also learned that the "trash" I didn't loot anymore, ended up being task items, so now I'm "fighting RNGesus" cause I can't seem to find them anymore

#

so "one mans trash, another mans riches"

#

or however that goes

In any case, we shouldn't dismiss the new positive mechanic just because some people prefer to learn everything in a more hardcore way.

I think that if it helps anyone, that's a good thing—and it will clearly help a lot of players.

We already have a system in the game that shows how effective ammunition is against different armor classes, so I don't see a problem with something like that.

Those who aren't interested will have a new item to sell. Everyone comes out ahead.

it's not about "hardcore vs casual"

it's about keeping in mind the type of game this is/wants to be, and this doesn't really fit that mould

comparing this to ballistics info is.....it's a choice....

Developers already added task circles, and one of the goals was to make players less dependent on thirdparty services like gzwtacmap, etc.
It makes sense to include something like an average price field in the item description window (similar to what AB has); otherwise, players will continue relying on thirdparty item tables to check prices 01_GZW_LEL

I mean, people can also think for a second, what kind of item it is and what kind of value it would have in such a place, under such cuircumstances

#

jewelry? decent value
military stuff - high value
motor oil and break fluid - "...you ok merc? been drinking?"
