Proposal: Alternate method to obtain Wine.

[thgilsrooc]

As everyone knows, wine isn't an item that can be crafted.  It's a built in money sink.  It can still be a sink if we get another method in obtaining them. 

 

Most potion people I know trade 5 quartz and 3gc for a vial in DP (before they obtain a mold of course).  I propose we get a NPC that will trade, say 5 fruit/blueberries and 1gc per wine.  Grinding up potions is turning exhaustive and expensive.  A little relief would be appreciated.

 

Thanks for your time.

There is a suggestion forum for this kind of stuff..

I don't know if you know this yet, but isn't there a quest that allows you to buy 15wine @ 20gc when you complete it? That makes 1.33gc per wine....(which is better than trading 5 fruits/blueberries and 1 gc per wine, imo).

 

I think Potions grinding isn't really expensive if you know which ones to grind....but it's exhaustive i agree

 

 

edit: it's 20 wine for 15gc. 0.75gc per wine.

actually it is 20 wine for 15gc = 0.75gc per wine

There is an npc in Melinis that sells empty vials for 5gc each. Using Harvey's service to get your vials will wear you out.

I can sell you vials for 6gc each - but don't wanna sell less then 1K empty vials at a time.

 

PS No I dont use vial molds to make the vials. Thats too expensive.

Sorry it was late and I didn't see it.

 

Yeah, based on the responses my suggestion isn't a good one.

 

Thanks for all the feedback yall.

 

Oh, the vial thing is exhaustive I agree, but I can't afford to pay 2gc more at this stage of my game.

Have you noticed that quartz can be sold for 2gc each to players?

 

You are really ahead this way

How about we get a wine seller closer to storage? Why do we have to walk across MM to buy wine? If I want to buy 20k wine, it takes a long time. I'll still be spending the same amount even if the seller is closer to storage, so what do we gain by making it a slow process?

 

Perhaps we could pay extra for a delivery service. If it is currently 15gc for 20 wine hauled by a player, how about 250gc for 200 wine delivered directly to a players storage? I'd pay it.
