Fuel or turnip shortage

[Redles]

Before it did cost 2,5 but it also cost 2,35 to make.
2,5 was a bargain, IMO.

SO yes, there was no incentive to build a large Farm...

There was also no way to make any money selling it.
I think maybe a good option is to have turnips available to be bought on the troll market on a rotating basis, much as the other goods are only available on certain days to sell. Then the price should be raised to 2-4 production costs, which is 2.35 (4.70-9.40). That way they can be bought but not daily, and players who do make and sell them can make a profit. That would also give players a reason to make the large farms since they might have to wait a few days before they go back out on raids.

Another option would be to replace one of the daily login bonus for gold with a supply of turnips.

Personally I would like to have them off the system altogether like Henry III said. Having said that, I think the above option would be "fair".

Premium players already get 10 free fuel a day.
One of the login bonuses is 100 free fuel already. There is already plenty of chances for players to get fuel so they do not run out without having to give away a component at cost.

works fo me.

I have been doing a bit of a look at the turnip thing, my main requirements of turnips is for the damn goats - then again in the stew and yes then the fule - so they are a possibly on of the most desireble items after the wood, stone and timber.

Having them as an item provided by the system makes it easy however personally defeats the whole purpose of the game. - (the market)

THe great thing about the Turnip thing is it means their will always be a good market (reason for players to use the market) as Rancor said the Troll market is the place have them - I don't even have a problem with them being there all the time, can't really work out the weapon thing anyway - never been that desperate

just under cut the System - yep I am a fool - 1000 turnips for 2 gold each will be intersting to see how long they take to go .... timestamp

- But why would you want to lose Gold?

Turnips cost 2.35 gold to make - If you sell for 1000 for 2 each, ya gonna lose 350 gold...

Or is that just part of your cunning plan?

Cause I can - no just to prove the point the market is an important part of the game and should be maintained to give the incentive for players to produce and sell on it - as mentioned by other players - turnips being available is essential however the very fact players are requesting them is a good indicator there is a demand, so players like me and you can sell them (if they are fairly priced) also adds to the whole barging process.

My point was the System want 2.50 - I sold them in quick time at 2.0 - if the Trolls wanted 4.50 and the demand was there I feel sure I would get 2.50 or 3.0 just as quick.

You get the good when you want, I get the gold I want, you use the goods, I spend the gold - its supply and demand.

Alas cheep imports look good on the surface but end up ruining the DoE economy

Congradz on the bargain of the day

Subject: A buyer was found! (marketplace)

mike0buch bought 1000 Turnips for 2.000 gold. (Unit price: 2,00 gold)

But it would only work, if the "System" did not sell turnips...
Then it could be an open market.

BUT I do not understand why you would sell them for less than it costs _you_ to make them.
( unless of course you did get for free. then it is profit)

Because for me to make a turnip costs 2.35...
If I sell it for 2, then I lose .35 gold on every turnip...

????????

Unless I need ready gold at the very moment, it does not seem like a good deal.

[HenryIII]

It was a bad deal for me but good for someone else

It was just for the excercise and did make me a quick 2000 gold, maybe when I need a favor - I can ask "meanmike" for a good deal hehe.

Keep in mind if it was the troll maket I would have only got 1.50 or something, don't worry I will not do it to often, saying this I do have some old second hand weapons I might quit cheap as my army laugh at me when I offer them weapons that have as much use as a toothpick

-

Statistically, the Troll market will let you sell goods for 3 to 4 times higher than it costs to make them.

Thus Turnips would be bought for 7.05 to 9.4
