Title: Making Gold
Post by: Maximus101 on October 13, 2011, 10:39:16 pm
With the new changes in strategus I've found it rather difficult to make gold. Everyone around me has made around 800 gold and I can't think how. I crafted a light kuyak as it had the highest percentage of 18%. I then sold it and made 50 gold. Is that normal? Is it better to trade goods as I am in yalen and I have an option to make yeast with 100%. If I made it and then went to praven to sell it would I make a lot of money? Sorry bout this bit of noobishness but I would like to understand how to make gold. Thanks if you're readin this.

Currently, you would be better off crafting the trade goods(yeast) and selling it somewhere else. For now though, just sit in Yalen, make the goods, sell a few when you need money and wait until they make a change with goods being tied to soldiers.

Sell back on equipment is now 20%. So unless the number next to the item you can craft is over 79%, you're going to make a loss if you sell it. However, if you have a high number on a good item, you could very well end up being useful crafting that item for your clan.

Become a trader! That's your best bet at the moment  :P Craft a shit ton of goods and then sell them somewhere else. Either that or play a heck of a lot of crpg.

Seems like you can only make money by playing cRPG now. I'm just a vile beggar at the moment  :mrgreen:

Sad thing is, I get thrown out of villages/towns constantly... I guess because of no money?

Begging for gold may keep you from getting thrown out.  I think it negates the cost of staying in the fief?

The real goal is to get people trading -- buy from one fief, travel across the map to another fief and sell it.  The further you travel, the more money you should make (there are probably more factors involved than distance, though).

So the REAL goal is to give people something to fight over: trade routes.  Rather than everyone sitting in towns "working", they will be travelling around the map buying and selling.  And getting jumped and beat up and looted and sparking massive clan battles the likes of which we have not yet seen.



You also earn money by playing battle and siege in cRPG.  I believe it is currently:
x1 - x2 = 0 gold per tick
x3 = 1 gold per tick
x4 - x5 = 2 gold per tick

For a brief period of time, I think it was (your multiplier - 1) gold per tick, so 4 gold/tick at x5.  They changed it to the above system.  I had over 1000 strat gold just from playing.  If your clan is around helping you get x5 a lot, you can make decent cash.

You have a load of Yeast, you say?  Near Praven, you say?

Probably not well armed or have much of an army with you, you say?

This movement/no money thing is really annoying. I entered Halmar yesterday and begged the street the whole night. This morning I had 4 gold and was thrown out of the town.

I tried to enter it again, but it didnt seem to work.

When I just checked back, I was standing around again, but had no money left - so I guess I entered town sometime, lost all money on fees and was thrown out again.

And you cant trade if you have no money... bit senseless  :?
