Thread: Low grade ore and architects..
Yes we can always use ore. A lot of us use 100-200k a day or more. For the most part we only need grind quality and won't pay too much for it. Check around on your server for the going rate but 2-3 cpu is probably likely for bulk.
The stats matter for a small amount of the ore that we use in harvesters. High stats for HR, SR and UT are important. However we don't need a huge amount of higher quality stuff so there won't be too much of a market for it.
exactly what i wanted to hear, thank you![]()
and if your on ahazi talk to me, currently mining lots of aluminum, switching to low grade ore next week...in high quanitites![]()
Pawlin is right, and Xahomz has a point, however... Selling vast quantities of other items can get to be tough, most professions only need so much of pretty much anything.
Architects, on the other hand, buy ore by the millions every day.
Ibe happy to buy5m myself right now.
I get all my "grinding quality" ore from fighters who harvest for some extra daily cash, I usually buy 100k a day, and pay 300k for it. I tell my suppliers that I dont care about quality, they can give me good stuff or bad stuff but I wont pay more than 3cpu for it. Some suppliers have tried to get more money out of me and asking for 4cpu when before they sold it for 3cpu. I cut them off and they ended up having to sell it on the bazaar in 1000 unit chunks and it took them weeks with little income, they were so desperate to sell it that I took it off their hands for 2cpu. So thats a warning for architect suppliers, never try to scam an archi ![]()
for the "good stuff" for harvesters, well I harvest that myself, I can pick up grinding steel/copper/alu cheap s chips too. The reward for a good supplier of ore is regular business. Architects can make you a very rich man/woman if you are a good supplier who uses his/her head. You will probably only be able to harvest enough ore for 1 architect so dont try to supply the whole server, its best not to dissapoint 1 architect than dissapoint lots. Personally I have 2 regular suppliers and they have all the money they need from just supplying me alone.
thank you all for the input, and just wondering, if i could get some kinda deal hooking up with an Ahazi architect for some heavys ber 13, i did some calcualtions and i could make about another 500k per week at 3cpu....so yea, just wondering if i can get a better deal buying 8 from you then paying a premium for those 8 like off a vendor, let me know...in game name Shralo
and thx again everyone, i know i could get a lot more for harvesting the great stuff, but honestly, i would rather not have to worry about the stats and just move lots of stuff, if i sold all i harvested in a week on 8 heavys...at 3cpu even, i would be a happy man.....thx again!!

stats do not matter.
architects use ore by the truckload for walls.
it can be any type of ore and the stats can all be under 20... it wont make a difference to walls...
example. there is 2200 units of ore required to make a single wall... a heavy mineral extractor has 7 walls... 2200 x 7 = 15400 units of ore in the walls of just one extractor.
there is nothing worthwhile to experiment on for walls.... so any old ore will do.
fyi, we like ore in batches of 200k as thats the amount needed for 1000 structure modules (wall sub componant) that we like to make a lot of in factories.
Ahem, batches of 201K.
So tired of making 998 brricks! hehehe
