| Author | Economy / production guide? |
|---|
I'm quite new to this game. Currently my char is LVL 4.
I'm having problems to understand how the economy (mining,production) works in this game. The current guides I found don't seem not very helpful in this aspect.
What I understood so far:
Enrolling at a mine will give you a certain amount of money after the working shift is over. It seems also have an influence how much resources you can buy (increased by one for each shift?). But I'm unsure about this.
In the FAQ I found this:
"trading resources - buy them at mining facilities and trade to the higher bids to machining or production"
I did not find any possibility to do that. Is there a certain LVL in labor guild required?
I understood that some resources are needed to add new buildings to my castle. The basic resources seem to be needed to produce intermediate resources that are being used to build items.
I saw that I can buy items at certain production sites. But how can I produce items on my own? Is this possible anyhow?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this topic. | Enrolling at a mine will give you a certain amount of money after the working shift is over. Correct.

No they have no relation.
"trading resources - buy them at mining facilities and trade to the higher bids to machining or production" Forget about it if you are confused, it's nothing important. Anyway if you are curious I will try to explain. You buy a mining resource, let's say ore, and you want to sell it for a very small profit(really, VERY small), you would need to sell it in a machining or production facility that needs it. For example, since you are in eagle's next, here's an example:
https://www.lordswm.com/object-info.php?id=98
This facility right now has 528.5.540 ore, so they can buy up to 11 more, however they do not have enough gold to purchase it from you, as their balance is only 44 gold. On the other hand if they had a larger balance but had 539.5/540 ore for example, they would not need any more ore. In conclusion it's very difficult to trade like this and also barely helps you make any siggnificant amount of profit.
But how can I produce items on my own? Is this possible anyhow?
You can't, you have to buy resources or artifacts from either facilities(mining for resources and production for arts), artifact shop(for arts) and market(for both arts and resources).
In short it's not as confusing as it might seem, spend a few more days and it'll all be very clear. The best way to earn gold is by enrolling as much as you can and hunting(hunting has other benefits as well). Level 5 onward you can also try MG, but that's mostly for lev 7 and above. | It seems also have an influence how much resources you can buy (increased by one for each shift?).

Well I'm not sure what you exactly meant by this, it does have an influence on the facility, so how much the facility can sell, but it doesn't affect you. | "trading resources - buy them at mining facilities and trade to the higher bids to machining or production"
map is too big to run and sell when a shortage appeared. people generaly sell resources momentarly when opportunity arise - if they have needed resource on them. dont worry about this feature too much.
for a new starting character, you just need to focus to BE enrolled to some job at anytime you are online. if have internet on phone even better, you dont need to fight (all the time) to earn gold in this game.
try learn shift change hour of good pay facilities (= factories with gold in it) and type that damn 6 char code FAST ;) | for Lord selfist:
Yup :) Like the torment jewellery in great wall that is available for enroll at :00 :D | Enrolling at a mine will give you a certain amount of money after the working shift is over.

Yes, enrolling at a mine will give you some money when the workshift ends. However it does not influence the amount of resource you can buy, the amount of gold you hold is the only factor in the amount of resource you can buy.
"trading resources - buy them at mining facilities and trade to the higher bids to machining or production"
Like above, the map is currently too big (or your mount is too slow) to be attempting this, however as you enroll more in production / machining factories you'll notice how their stock of resources goes down. Later on in the game you will purchase arts from these facilities and you can sell resources back to them quickly making a tiny amount of profit and be able to enroll.
So for example, yesterday I bought a ring that gives the facility 10,400 gold, and I noticed that after I buy this gold and enroll they will have 10,000 gold left over. I also noticed that they have some demand for mithril (about 3,333 gold each) so I bought the ring, enrolled and sold the production facility some mithril.
I saw that I can buy items at certain production sites. But how can I produce items on my own? Is this possible anyhow?
You may also buy them at the market, the basic ones such as ore and wood tend to be the same price as in the mining facility. You also get some resources as you level up.

www.lordswm.com/ecostat.php | The amount of gold earned is based on your labory guild combinated with the workshift payment value.
For instance with LG 0 you'll receive 1x of the value, so if 'x' place pays 205, you'll receive 205 gold at the end of the work period.
With LG 6 however you'll receive 2x of the original payment, so those 205 will turn into 410 gold by the end.
The higher your Labory guild is, the higher your income will became. This has absolutely nothing to do with purchase of any kind resources nor items from said facility. | Wood, ore, mercury, sulphur, crystal and gems are used both in some items purchase and into castle building upgrade.
In order to know which resources were needed to improve your castle, you'll need to check it out, since the cost vary from one faction to another.
The fact that some facilities requires a specific resource to purchase the item, is to incentive the purchase of a resource which has a very high margin of surplus. You can always check with the artefact that you want to buy.
There's another kind of resources which are used only for items production, such leather, magic powder etc. Well, they're here only to enhance the production mechanics trying to emulate somehow a industrial fabric production needs of raw materials, but it doesn't affect the gameplay, besides the minimal requeriments to keep the fabric working. And no, you cannot own your own industry and thus produce your own items. (You can enhance and repair, but that's a different topic.)
Additional yes, you can purchase say a Nickel then sell to a facility which is lacking of, however the profit margin is minimal and requires a continous reselling in order to make any money, plus while you've resources like 'Nickel" your gold would be in a 'frozen' state, since you cannot do anything else with those raw materials, except feeding a fabric in need, only when you spot such.
Finnaly as you've already noticed I believe, you'll gain some resources (ore, wood, mercury, crystal, sulphur and gems) as you level up. | Thanks for your input guys! Some things are a lot clearer now.
Great community. | dont even bother buying and selling elements..
little to close to no profit at all
