Logging
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:41 pm
So, since this is a hot topic of sorts. Here's a new thread for logging adjustments/ideas specifically.
[quote=Collins]Regarding Logging:
- With the way the system is currently set up, it makes Logging to gain guild ranks rather cruddy compared to more lucrative crafts.
(Same goes for fishing really. Fish don't sell for much at all...)
- Logs - Only 2 fit in handcarts currently, I suppose this is due to their weight. This would make sense except that you can still manage to hold one in each hand. They also only sell for 30 riln which is very low if they are indeed 50 lbs+ each. That's a lot of wood and should be worth more. They make it so that using handcarts to move them is pointless.
Possible solutions:
- Overall increase in the value of selling wood at the market.
- Make Logs lighter (10 lbs instead of 50?)
- Or, make logs worth a lot more. 200+ riln.[/quote]
For reference:
This morning Rias adjusted the logs to fit 5 to a cart and to be worth 100 riln each.
Since you get 4 logs per tree, this makes each tree worth roughly 450-500 riln.
Previously trees were netting around 150-200 riln each.
5 logs to a cart is much better, and makes it worth using the carts and you can fit a cut up tree in a handcart now.
If 450-500 per tree is to much, we might want to look at going 50 riln per log, or dropping the logs per tree to 2-3.
