Hello all you scouts out there, this is a message from your friendly artisan buddies. We keep seeing on bazaar resources for hides and bones selling with a 6-day auction. We don't want to wait 6 days to maybe get some resources. Please just set a price or do a one or two day auction. We will pay a decent price.

Thanks,

Artisans

Absolutely... *please* don't use the full 7 day auctions, and for the most part, don't use auctions at all unless you have a very large quantity of high-grade stuff (like 500-1k units). Browse the bazaar for what the prices are like, then post an instant sale price. Also, with instant sale prices, don't post until you have a useable quantity, 50 units at minimum, preferably 100+. And, set reasonable prices! I don't think any resource in the game is worth 50+ credits per unit, lol.

I keep seeing 1-15 units of bone for sale for 500c, never see more than 20 units for sale, and see 1 unit of wood on a 7 day auction and I start wondering if the entire player base is stoners.

The worst part is, as a scout I seem to be using bone and hide faster than I can harvest it... I've actually bought bone on the bazaar (actually found someone post 100 units on a short 1-2 day auction). I would buy more, if the quantities were there. Reason: I use a lot of traps and camps (I'm at trap and survival III, but *just* made explore II), that, and whenever I group, I encounter ninja-harvesters. Most of the time it seems people who either don't really want to be scouts, or just want it to be a bounty hunter... or they want the resources for bone armor. Seems to me that in a group of 6-7, there are 4-5 trying to harvest, and maybe one of them is actually dedicated to scouting (I want to be a ranger... maybe master ranger). Please, when you group, find out who the scouts are, and share the harvesting equally. If you just have scout for the bone and hide, please allow the real scouts to harvest, in exchange for a share of the bone and hide... then we gain gain in XP, be more efficient harvesters, and start having surpluses to sell to you and otherartisansat reasonable prices.
