After the Shop Update, base prices are set before active shop bonus percentages are applied. Recheck existing stock, use the pricing UI and distinguish price objections from queue or path problems. Ver. 1.4.2's red text warns about exceeding the acceptable price; controlled sales tests still determine a useful price for your own shop.
What is verified
- Supply, demand, prestige, and decoration are official pricing influences.
- The developer describes red text when exceeding the acceptable price by 10%–33%; this is not a universal markup over base value.
- The first Ver. 1.4.2 load could reset severely overpriced stock to a random acceptable value, not the maximum.
Version-aware guidance
What changed recently
September 4 reworked base pricing and shop bonuses. Ver. 1.4.2 added red price text and a one-time correction of heavily overpriced stock; Ver. 1.4.3 clarified the UI and fixed repeated furniture price multiplication.
Read the dated update timelineBuild a price bracket
Inspect the current merchandise UI and price before testing, especially on an older save. The Shop Update changed base market values across multiple categories, so begin from current information rather than a launch spreadsheet. Use a small quantity and step down after repeated genuine price rejections, or test a modest rise after comparable successful sales.
The objective is not one magical number. You are looking for a useful band that balances sell-through speed and margin under the current shop conditions. Write down both successful and failed tests so memory does not turn outliers into rules.
Change one condition at a time
Hold the item, display, prestige, comfort and known demand state steady. Read the exact customer message: a full queue and an inaccessible display are operational problems. The September 4 notes explicitly corrected misleading price complaints from customers facing a full queue.
Separate a fast-cash price from a margin-seeking price. Fast cash is rational when the next upgrade or expedition is blocked, while margin testing makes more sense when storage and operating cash are comfortable.
Protect yourself from false precision
The 10%–33% red warning refers to exceeding an acceptable price, whose exact calculation is not disclosed. It does not mean every item can sell at base price plus 33%. The one-time Ver. 1.4.2 adjustment deliberately did not choose a perfect maximum, so audit that stock and keep testing.
Log successful and refused observations with build, shop bonuses and sample size in the Price Test Log. A highest observed sale and lowest observed rejection describe your evidence, not a hidden formula. Use the profit calculator separately for margin after entering costs you actually know.
Outdated advice to avoid
Launch price tables are not a current baseline. The red-text band is not a safe universal markup, an automatic corrected price is not a maximum, and furniture replacement is not a legitimate price multiplier.
Frequently asked
Questions about fell and sell pricing
What is the best price for an item?
No verified universal exact price is published; test a local range and record customer reactions under the same shop conditions.
Does red text mean I should add 10%–33% to base value?
No. Ver. 1.4.2 describes a warning band above the acceptable price, not a universal base-price markup. Shop context and observed sales still matter.
How was this guide verified?
Reviewed September 19, 2026 against the linked official Steam announcements. Ver. 1.4.3 is the named patch baseline; the September 18 public Dungeon Update is distinguished wherever it changes earlier advice. Older developer replies and community reports retain their original dates and labels.
