Whats a decent way to make gold?
Commerce just hasnt worked for me, I get 2k in a normal run, and thats just not enough, regarding the risk and time.

[Girlinhat]

Commerce pays off later.  When you get top-tier items and elephant, you can make 10k+ per route easily, if you're doing the right routes.  Tara, Taillteann, Bangor, and Cobh/Belvast generally have massive profits if you're willing to travel some.  The thing is, these cities have profit between each other.  Tara-Belvast will net you fantastic profits if you're patient enough to make the whole route.

On pickaxes: Go for the durability upgrade first, then mining speed, then the Silver Ore Rate - trust me here.  Silver ingots are what you're going to be after the most.  If you're blacksmithing, you'll want silver.  If you're offering to guild-mates, they'll love silver.

ALSO!  Guild upgrades, we have room for 20 more people, and I'm going to take a squat on Cobh and poop out a guild stone.  Touch it often, it helps.  (Trust me.)

Yup, commerce pays off much better once you get to the wagon and definately elephant. Wagon is for speed, but the elephants pulls in the profit big time. 7 to 15k generally on my routes usually, and I don't even go to tara. I hate tara with a passion.... so much bloody lag. Tara was trailing the rest of my commerce lvls big time, though I wouldn't be surprised if some of the tara routes put out some 20k or more with the higher tier goods. I have a lil over a million ducats, and I had more but I spent them on 3 red upgrade stones which I turned around and sold them for 400k each before the black dragon event crashed their prices to a lil over 50k. Will probably have to find somethin else to spend my ducats on and resell now though.

And don't forget the silly amounts of xp commerce gives. I was making it level 60 to 80 easily in the 3 weeks needed for the freebie rb. Thats some nice ap per rebirth.

Guild stone is up on Cobh.  Head from Dunbarton to Cobh, and make an immediate left.  It's right by the house on the hill.  Everyone touch the stone!  TOUCH IT!

[Sonlirain]

You tell me. I'm doing commerce since lvl 30 something and i sometimes get over 40k exp form it.

The Wagon is GREAT at hauling light items. baby potions Cough potions Seaweed Clams Whatever.

The elephant however is far better at hauling loads of heavier items like marble or lead.

Anyway my current route is
Seaweed from Cobh -> Bangor
Marble from bangor -> Cobh

Usually around 4k gold per wagon.

Also clams from Cobh often sell very good in Tara but from my experience trying to haul anything above T1 good from Tara to just about anywhere else is a fools errand bandits keep spawning on top of you and one i even got into an ambush of 7 (SEVEN) trained bandits just after i passed the gates.

Aye touching for the effect over.

Ooh a guild stone are these those Guild Point making things?

Also, commerce question: when you guys go to, let's say, Tara to Tir Chonaill through Tailteann, do you stop to sell the Tara goods in Tailteann for a small amount and pick up new goods there for another small cash-in at Tir Chonaill, or do you go all the way to Tir Chonaill for the biggest profit?

[Skyrunner]

Don't know about that route, but if you pick up marble from Bangor and sell it at Cohb, then pick up seaweed and drop it off in Tir, it's slightly more profitable than going straight from Bangor to Tir.

Girlinhat made a spreadsheet for calculating this stuff, and Aoi is currently sprucing it up (to say the least) and making it easier to deal with , so once that's done I'll post it presuming nobody minds it being posted. Or if nobody beats me to posting it.

[Seriyu]

We have a commerce spreadsheet!

Instructions are included. Ask questions if you need to. I'm not a commerce guy so I can't answer them. Just sayin.

This is also a work in progress and may be updated over time, soooo yes.

[Aoi]

Also, it's unlocked and shared. Soooo... don't vandalize. =P

[SirAaronIII]

Need... glowy... spider.... bits..... Must... get....

Man, this totally sucks. I haven't gotten a single piece in the 4 spider-part dungeons I ran. I think Alex got a leg, though.

[Seriyu]

No update today. Probably one early tomorrow. Also guild is back up for those that haven't seen, just making sure people know.

[Carcanken]

Archers are so annoying.. they can wound me for half of my health in one shot.
 

[Koja]

Might install this if anyone plays.

[Seriyu]

Many do! Use the steam chat if you can, although now that the guild stone is up that's less nessecery.

Look into charge, if you have a shield, and evasion if not. Evasion is a little harder to use correctly, but probably better if you can get it to work for you.
