Help with bartering

Is there a way to always know the lowest you can buy an item in the shops? And if I offer too low, does that increase the minimum I have to pay? I'm really interested in saving up money for purchasing items involved with quests, though I don't know the system.

I'd love to know this too! Usually I start lower than I think they'd take and increase one EC at a time until they take it 😊 But that's not very efficient

From what I've noticed so far, they usually accept the original price - 15. Unsure if rarity of items or the size of the original price changes anything. I may come back later if I find anything out about the system. (Sorry if I'm feeling too meta about the game, that's just how I am)

I find that it has less to do with rarity than it does with the base price.
I don't know exactly how much, but from my experience:
For an item that costs around 5000, I probably could get ~100 or so EC off. For an item around 10000, I could get ~200, 300 off? Items less than 1000, at best ~20, 30 or so.

All in all, I find it not really worth it to haggle for the best possible price. Sure, the price doesn't rise if you fail to bargain, but the time you spend haggling isn't really worth it for the amount of EC you save.

Yeah, normally I just take 10 EC off each buy, but it still frustrating how they don't accept it sometimes.
