Tip: use your buff wisely. Always compare what your buff will produce versus what you can buy/sell the buff for. For example, do not triple buff a level 5 iron mine, and do not use aunt irma's baskets on level 3 farms. It's cheaper to sell baskets and buy wheat.
watch out for when your resources mines are finished and tear them down to get some resources back Lieg as fields and water
(using Google translator)
Tip: do not make crossbows, damascene swords or cannons. You can sell the raw resources for making them at triple (or x5 in the case of crossbows and cannons) the price of buying them. If you can find a good deal on iron and steel swords, you'll find that it's almost cheaper to sell your coal/iron ore/buffs and buy those swords than making them yourself.
don't keep your tavern, it's cheap to build and a waste of a license. If you need to buy something from it, just build one and destroy it afterwards.
Not true. At this very moment, a 2000 iron refill costs 450 and 4000 iron ore costs 240. Prices will fluctuate but be cautious about buying refills. Make sure they are adjusted to their true value. And if your selling refills, you really need to drop prices to make them more realistic.Originally Posted by Hongbearr
Quick intro to adjusted prices:
When doing mining and any sort of buffing, you need to think about the adjusted cost of items. Even buffs also have a value. Irmas cost about 5 coin on the trade house (and the raw ingredients to make it yourself is sometimes worth more). So if a friend uses an irma on your level 1 hardwood sawmill, it will only produce, at most, 57 additional planks over the 9 hours that its buffed which would only be worth 2 coins in the trade house. So you spent 5 coins to make 2.
With mines, if 250 hardwood planks, 250 marble and 200 tools can be sold for 50 coins in the trade house, then a level 1 iron mine (unbuffed) will produce 500-550 iron ore at the cost of those 50 coins. If you can buy 500 iron ore for 30 coin on the trade office, there is no reason to build a level 1 mine and let it run itself into the ground or even destroy it before it runs out. An irma buff on said level 1 iron mine will produce an extra 80-90 iron over 9 hours which lets say is worth about 5 coin in the trade house (same as the irma you spent to make the iron ore). So no reason to buff the level 1 mine either unless its with fish platters (maybe). If your not going to upgrade the iron mine, you may want to think if it's worth building at all.
find a buff partner, usually from your guild, with the understanding that you'll use your buffs on him and he'll use his buffs on you. Buffs last 50% longer when applied to a friend
write your guides in a paper, when using a higher troops use a different color. and a different color for your blocks.
My point exactly. Price of 2000 iron refill is *WORTH* less than 4000 irons because you can only get maximum of 4000 irons from it. Therefore, it is not *WORTH* more than the price of 4000 irons. The belief that iron refills are somehow worth more because it is being sold at much higher prices is a fallacy.
To level quickly, after the tutorial, do Adventures solo and with your guild or friends. To level quickly during the tutorial, focussing just on completing the quests; do not try to expand your capacity by building beyond what it requires, that strategy can actually slow down your advancement.
