| Author | A Guide to Money: What is unfair? |
|---|
Ok i stopped reading after post 3 and start reading again at post 40. Upon reading that i reversed to 39.
I agree with you ipslne and agree with pang. |
for Pang:
lol well put. Yeah I did the same thing early on and realized I had wasted 10k on a few Smithing Points. Now I just repair as a service to people when I have spare gold. |
I am level 5 now and '' Laborers' guild: 0 (76) +14 '' .
And suddenly i realisated that AP 5 for battles and HUNTING (!??) is needed ...
I played so far the game called '' Lords of war ... '' . Now seems that i have to play and the game called '' Lords of Money ... '' .
My question is : why is needed for hunting those AP points ??? For me was a source of income but those about 100 gold reward is not enougth to compensate the gold '' spended '' on that combat using artifacts ... So far i assisted others in hunt and not received a single gold from those i helped even i sended message ... And from level 5 now hunting is expensive ... |
| 5 ap set costs 40 gold/battle (def shield+light axe) so you still get profit from hunts. But you should stop thinking about hunts as a way to make money. LG is _the_ money-maker in this game. Enroll often and you won't need to worry about gold. Do it and by the time you really need gold you'll be able to make 500-600 gold per hour. |
for Thule:
The problem is that you did not read the entire title from the beginning. It's Lords of War _and_ Money. You have to earn and spend gold tactically just as you would have to have tactics in battle.
Everything is expensive for you at level 5 because you neglected your Laborer's Guild. Enrolling is not there just as a bonus in gold -- as Shebali said, it is the only way to make gold. You can consider loot from hunts and Mercenary Missions your bonus gold.
That is not to say that you are too late to recover. In my other thread it explains how you can easily have arts at level 5 with LG 2. You can get LG 2 fairly quickly... just take a few days to enroll and don't bother with battles. If you insist on battling, pass up Mercenary Missions until you get an Escort Mission. You don't need arts for those.
Once you have LG 2, you will not only be earning enough gold to sustain your arts and then some; but all the gold from enrolling will be more than enough to buy your first arts and get you started.
If you think it's too difficult, read this thread so you will understand how easy it is:

Defender shield 1 AP : 300 gold / 7 durab = 43 gold per use
Light axe 1 AP : about 900 gold / /25 durab = 36 gold per use
So about 90 gold per use for 3 AP .. and still need 2 AP ..Yep hunting seems that is not to make money ...
'' That is not to say that you are too late to recover.''
At level 5 i have option to build upgrated level 1 troops => Cost: 28,000 .
I have now 17 k gold ...
Enroling 4 - 5 times a day will get me about 800 gold / day ... So the 11 k i need i will made it in about ... 14 days ! Obviously i have to not hunt / battle in next 2 weeks . Interesting :)
Combat log :
- first batle : 02-22-09 13:30: Thule[1] vs Farmers (25)
- last battle ( i just promoted to level 5 then and really wanted to test my succubi troops ) : 03-01-09 20:56: Thule[5] vs Bowmen (37)
So played about a week .... now just 2 weeks to play something else ...
Since my last battle i started to read and forums ... closelly ... In the next 2 weeks probable i will read all forum :) |
Defender shield 1 AP : 300 gold / 7 durab = 43 gold per use
That's wooden shield, ond your calculations are wrong since you're not including the gold you get when you sell the used item in your inventory.
Light axe 1 AP : about 900 gold / /25 durab = 36 gold per use
This particular artifact I don't even recognise >.>

Def. shield:

Light axe:

Together - 40 gold per battle, 5 AP.
Don't forget that LG increses the wage you get.

You are wrong Thule
First :
Defender Shield Give 3 AP 31 Gold per combat
Light Axe Give 2 AP 12 Gold per combat
* Gold per combat : Can be calculated by (Buying price - Selling Price) / Durability , each artifact when you use to 0/XX you can sell for some price.
Second :
While you wait for gold to upgrade, you can hunt sometime with your current troops. But you MUST NOT play group battle again until you have enough labor guild to give more gold / hour. This may retain you at 5 level for a long time but it will build you to survive in higher level.
Third :
This is not a pure RPG game, it combine with strategy. So think as real HOMM game you need to build your town right?. This game also needed time to build and make a strategy for survive with AP rule.
For me, I use almost 3 weeks to get Lv 5, because I concentrate only in hunting or duel or group. So if you use another 2 weeks you can get the same as me. |
Yep - was wooden shield that one . And '' Light axe '' is 500 gold + 1 ore + 1 wood = total about 900 gold .
And is the selling price too involved who can indeed lower the '' real '' price of using artifacts per combat !
Thanks for the answers ! |
