| Author | mining, matching or producing? |
|---|
i noticed some guys do not calculate what is more profitable.
they just keep getting employed and selling goods on market.
let's make some calculations:
for example: let's admit our Laborers' guild's level is 5 which gives 3 times more productivity, and we're employed on Leather armour plant and bought a Leater Armor to get employed.
if we wanna earn 205 x 3 = 615 gold we need to sell that armor for 995 gold.
if we go mining we earn 175 x 3 = 525 gold difference 90 gold
if we go matching then 185 x 3 = 555 gold difference 60 gold
but,
if we buy 2 pcs of armor then difference goes down to 45 for mining and 30 for matching
3 pcs, 30 for mining and 20 for matching
4 pcs, 22,5 for mining and 15 for matching
and so on.
in other words if we buy let's say 3 pcs of Leather armor in order to get employed then we need to sell them at least
995 - 30 = 965 per piece
then, income will be 175 gold, which is equal to money earned by mining.
thank you.
correct me if i'm wrong. |
Then the gold that you make by enrolling is 0, lol :) (with labourers guild lvl 1)

| Sorry for posting with multi -__-' |
| but why would you want to buy 3 leather armors in order to enroll? |
I am sorry but your math is not very precise.
You only need 1 armor in order to enroll once. Cost 984.
90 gold per piece is bonus for working in a factory.
This means you only need to sell armor for 904 gold to match the mining profit.(market tax included).
Everything above 904 is profit compared to mining for level 5 laborer.
Also I would rather exclude the machining from the math because you will be stuck with 70 steel like me. :-)
Anyway the only problem I would see here is full inventory of useless armors. Also you can do the same with helmets and boots.
I have checked the lowest market price of armors. They are about 40+ compared to mining(for laborers guild 5) |
sorry i made mistake in last one
(205 x 3) - (995 x 3 - 965 x 3) = 525 = 175 x 3
Straws
becoz sometimes u need not only money but also items like ore, leather etc. so u buy items in order to sell others

| 25% chance you will get ambushed by a F5 elite selling leather or trying to enroll stealing. Often your lot will be hijacked in less than an hour by lower price lots and will be unable to sell. Sometimes even 900g armors won't sell, because people simply don't need them. As long as the sulphur dune is at zero there will be no way to sell the armors you invested. In the long run, you inventory stuffs up with 20 leather armors and you don't have any extra space. Exactly the reason I stopped enrolling at leather armor plant. |
for hiddenshadow:
The problem is that there aren't that many alternatives.
Instead of buying some art to work:
A.) Buy sulfur to work and then you end up having to sell sulfur at a discount.
B.) You may be forced to travel to work. |
