  1. Lets start fixing the economy system

    I fully agree with smalul regarding the problem. And I think too this should be fixed. In real life, companies do not sell their goods below production costs, but at a price which includes costs plus a markup. Otherwise they go bankrupt. And it's the same with people selling their workforce. Now how to fix this is not really obvious. Setting a NPC minimum buying price for items is an answer but kind of kills the market channel (except if people are too lazy to make runs to the NPC which is doubtful considering the number of people doing trik or mira runs). And for some items, it currently generates unlimited demand : you can sell all the leather helms you make to Trik for example or all the reasoning pots to Mira. In any case, NPC prices should be adjusted so that an item sells for at least the cost to which you can sell the components. In my view, the main economic issue in EL economy is that resource is unlimited which means you can make as much money as you want on flowers and then invest this money in loss making activities (C1 rings for examples) until you reach an xp level where you can make profit on some C2 rings. Add to that the fact that most people do not really value their time online (so harvesting is considered free) and you have all the ingredients for prices below costs for intermediate items. All this makes I don't see a real solution to this. One would be to limit the primary resource (limit harvesting) but that would crash the levelling as most skills require mass manuf to level up... So there's probably an issue, but is there a solution ?

    5k coal please.
  3. wat is the fastest way to make money.

    Best way imo is explore the lands and win all contests you can. Winning a NMT for example by running around is much more fun than all the time you would spend at the lupine bush. It takes some time to be able to win good prizes, but it's much less boring than anything else.

  7. Counter - Augmented pants

    Strangely my counter records 3 augmented leather pants in the ALCHEMY part. THis is all the more surprising as in MANUF counter, I have 4 augmented leather pants. No idea where this comes from.

  9. Talk about the contest here

    Came with the same idea as Pyewacket yesterday, about the wind searing through Bethel. I tried a few spots around the Ida flag to Bethel and around the W and D letters of Red Wind. No luck. Also tried the Trassian access to Bethel (all spots at doorstep) as when you move from the Trassian cold to the Bethel hot air, you could say it's searing... No luck again. Oh and before that I tried the 'walls of concealment' before I knew it was not in Bethel
