And you grinded to get a small house?



You know you can buy them, right? 4 gnort mission, maybe 5 will pay for one. That's a lot less time than 30,000 GXP.

"On the advertising and sales and stuff: location, location, location.


You have to be in a good location."



Amen.

Thanks for all the tips.


Actually using a merchant sounds like a good option for me. I have a fairly sparodic ability to be online (sometimes I miss 3 days....you know real life job, 4 kids, a mortgage that makes Brazil look financially savy and Mrs Bob'the Builder wanting me to talk to her every now and again....<shakes head in wonder>.


The only thing against that is my hours of play tend to be a bit outside the core....but anyway.


So I will attempt to discuss options with local vendors and see who can do me a good deal. As many pointed out the act of crafting takes a fair amount of my time !


And I could even supply several merchants.....after all how many shopkeepers make as much money as say errr Sony....hmmmmmm


Regards,

The only reason I want bussiness 3 is to get that merchant to sell resources. And not advertise..just people that I deal with can pass by my small house and pick up what they want and i dont have to run to them or find them. Yes it would be cheaper to do that, but i like to hunt also....so I try to do whatever makes it easy for me to sell the resources i collect.

Location is everything. I agree. But have you seen the urban sprawl around Anchorhead on Bria? From Anchorhead to the Jundland wastes there must be 50 houses. Another 100+ harvestors. Soon they are trees and rocks to people. Something you run around. Besides who is gonna see my small house when thereare 5 enormous mansions within 500 meters.


Not to mention until I can make powerups as good as the next guy no one is gonna come looking for me. It's either the bazaar and/or price undercutting for me.Or spamming the message boards with adverts. I want to sell things, I don't want to be an @$$hole.
