For the couple of others I have checked, these are pretty good buy prices. Ok, so it's rather a long sail to find a good port to sell in, but other ports - or pairs of ports - are better. You just have to find them when u sell a few hundred it is done, will then go to 1. Tested it on everything that had a good return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 900% mark up on shop prices Of you could simply look at the Trader tool and see where to sell them. I bet they're not 1 everywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just omg Joba has to much money and so dose he how they do it....... Nerf it.... like 3 or 4 people on test server have millions like, not even a whole percent probably. You go to live server not a big deal, why to many doing it and to many sinking trying to do it. We have no wolves here is why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite honestly I don't understand why this game has Elite-style trading, but I've nothing in particular against it and I don't think it's any better or worse on Testbed than on Live. It's just pushed more into focus here as the other cash cow on Live - capturing traders - has been totally nerfed on Testbed. Pity combat isn't rewarded more though.

I did admit I stopped cause goods ran out in one of the ports I could buy. I also reminded him any one smart would be hunting in that area for some one like me making that run if the server pop was more than 20-40 folks. I did it again after the patch and make 1.5 million after a few runs. You can still make money just can't keep doing it over and over. This allow you to still get the cash to pay for your buildings and fighting. I wondering how many of the folks pumping out a bunch of money is doing any crafting yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Guys, Calm down. This happens every time after an update. The prices are always screwed up until the next file maintenance resets the prices back to normal. I remember one item in port where you could buy it then immediately sell it back for a profit. You could sit there for as long as your muscles held out clicking your mouse making money without leaving the port. Buy sell buy sell . Trade missions were for 50,000,000. instead of 500,000. Once the file maintenance the next day everything was reset. Devs do you update right before maintenance then you won't have this winning the lottery for every player. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This explains why my secret runs bled dry !! I made 2.2million with one run (about a 120-150 mins sail). However, if I had been caught with my 3 trader ships in fleet it would have been 'GFC 2.0 for Jeheil Inc'. I was essentially a treasure fleet The resources I were selling were finite and once I exhausted them they filled very slowly back at source. Like at best, I would be able to do 1 shipment a day (instead of 9 with my suicidal fleet). So I suspect the fix is a little over the top tbh. The other thing of note with this type of trading is, it needed 2.2 million cap. to make 2.2 million profit and was a long (and if it were a busy server) perilous sail, I had to sail through what most would consider the highest 'aggro' waters on the map. I don't think high value trades should be nerfed. If you caught as player with 2.2 mill in cargo wouldn't that draw PvP onto the OW ?? We can't want people on OW and at the same time take away the honey !! Just make the resources finite and replenishment scale to server pop. 1000 players means Golden Underpants at Frenchytown increase by 50 units per day. 2,000 playes avg means 100 units per day etc. Edited April 19, 2017 by Jeheil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Texas Sir Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yah one of them nice treasure fleets would be score. Even if you where only able to capture one, but if you had some buddies with you and you got more than one....SCORE.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinking AI ships of the right nation in the area under attack works fine. I generated 2% in Comayagua in an hour last night, just myself in a BP, playing very cautiously as I was (then) short of money and didn't want to risk losing the ship - or even having to repair it too much. A small group of players could very quickly build up the points I am sure. Edited April 19, 2017 by Remus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maintenance on test bed is not done everyday. Prices based on demand supply update during maintenance. NPC demand is limited. When NPC buys enough resource they stop buying it updating a price to 1. If you have traded heavily between certain ports you have filled all the demand in those ports and thus you see the price of 1. You can try another port that still demand that trading resource and sell it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
