The one thing that is really going to affect land ownership once the game launches is building appraisals. A cash shop item that lets you sell your land, either openly, or to a specific player. So, you will be able to make a character, get his large farm, place/build it, then sell it to your...

Property tax can no longer be paid with gold. Tax certs only, which merely cost labor. Which you generate even if you don't log in. And both tax certs and labor pots can be purchased in the cash shop. I don't get why you guys are thinking the land availability is going to be like it is in...

You're out of your mind. First of all, you must have done absolutely nothing but quest, since pretty much every action you take in the game gives xp. You take a breath, you gain 100xp! I left my main at 44 while leveling some alts and focusing on building ships and stuff. He made the next 5...

It's a level 55 skill, so not going to be seeing it in NA for quite a while.

Auramancy gets meditate at like level 30, on a 2 min CD. Songcraft used to have a health/mana regen song, but they nerfed the mana part right out of it.

There are a lot of factors that favor East for certain important things. Zone placement, trade routes, how the coast is set up, Hasla, just to name a few. The racials are the least of it, and the cat racial isn't that important anyway. Also, skills like Drop Back/Teleport completely negate fall...

Yeah, it's a fresh server. No character copies. But alpha players cash shop creds will be account based. So any they spend on either alpha or beta come from the same pool.

Typically, all the information relevant to making that kind of decision is not available until the last minute.

"Based on the feedback and data we've seen from play on Alpha, these are the top 4 areas we're currently focusing on in terms of finding a balance in fun and long-term game economy for our region. By no means is this everything! The upcoming Beta event will also help add to our data on how a...

It almost seems like the game wasn't designed with the idea of castles changing hands often, but instead to basically reward the guilds that managed to claim first, and let them keep it as long as enough of their members remain active enough in the game to defend it every week. Edit: YAY...

You know what AA doesn't have? Quest that make you run ten minutes on your mount, kill 15 mobs, run back, turn in quest and get sent back to the same fucking area to kill the other mobs that were there. And the quests reward is less xp than you would have got spending that travel time grinding...

That shit is such a tiny part of the game it doesn't even matter. What it does suffer from is a lot of same-faction douchebaggery griefing that doesn't involve pvp.

This is why I find it so hilarious that Trion thinks there's actually a possibility that they won't get enough people in the beta test, and would have to shut down the Alpha servers during the beta events. Ha.

That's not too bad. Need to find out where every daily is, so we can figure out how many we can get per day. Have a couple of other ideas too. Don't really need any in alpha at this point. Just gold.

Finally got a clear answer on the gilda stars for trade packs thing. From Amary in this thread:http://forums.archeagegame.com/showt...tal-quot/page2 "The current, expected functionality is that the only way gilda stars are obtained through trade routes is when a specialty pack is turned in to...

bad forums. stop that.

Yeah, I know. I've been so damn busy with my farms and alts and shit when I do check the forums here I just refresh this page and read any new posts. Remember, you need 50 medicinal powder in addition to the 20 yata fur. I just grow shrooms, takes 2 hours. Edit: So, I'm trying to figure...

You could always team up with me. For 1320 labor and ~30 minutes work you can pull in 18-20g a day. I supply the mats, you craft the packs (20) and load the ship and you're done. Or you can opt to come along for the ride and hold the wheel while I do turn-ins. Owner's mark works fine for...

land routes are long, and you can only carry 5 packs at time. Blegh.

Anything that anyone can attain that there is suddenly a large demand for will cause this. Initially the demand will be higher than the supply, causing a price spike. As more people produce the item and compete with other sellers, the price gets driven down. This is pretty basic economics, dude...

My mistake. The retards on the livestream have trouble with long words. They use "cross-continental" which isn't actually a word, and confuse "intra" and "inter" continental. Watching their livestream is fucking painful, and it's hard to pick out the actually important information.

The patch notes were wrong about that, and a few other things. Not to mention many undocumented changes as well.

The pack split is currently 80/20. Which is where it will stay. Also, this is not the final western version. You will be able to get Gilda from same continent trade ins, they've stated that many times. As for the crafting mats, there's no word yet, I assume because since we were gonna get 1.0...

On the value of gilda, I haven't looked into it too much yet, but some crafted shit requires gilda dust now. Breaks down at a 1-4 ratio.

Sounds like a decent idea to me, that or something like it would help. Now, if there was only a way to keep people from camping alts at every specialty workbench. It sucks that a "friendly" or enemy force can know instantly when you're loading up for a big run, or even simply trying to turn in...

Yeah, man, you couldn't turn in a pack in an enemy zone at 5am? I can't turn in a pack at 5am in a friendly zone, lol. Greens (Oran'thul) will camp the Yny harbor entrance for hours just at the chance at a single gank to get a pack. It's a bit psychotic, imo. Peacetime? Lol, you guessed it...

Umm, all of them have one of the new ingredients. I think the yata fur one uses medicinal powder. Like 50.

One of the new trade pack runs, in Solis, uses 20 yata fur. I ran a test pack to Villanelle and turned it in for like 4g and some change.

The reason I dropped Aur in the first place, is that I didn't need it for leveling. It seems like most of it's utility for the class is for pvp, defensive and anti-cc stuff.

Yeah, that's been coming for a while, all level up gift boxes are gone. Not too big a deal though, the quest rewards are much better (if they proc up), and come in sets too. My level 29 guy turned in 3 quests, got got a blue hood and boots, purple belt and pants and a gold hood. 4 of those are...

Any time I've heard anyone mentioned edgewalkers since the patch, it's been them saying the same as you, pretty much. Also, from what I hear, in KR and RU AA, archers are the most popular class? I haven't really looked into it, been too busy trying out the different trees for myself...

My main started as Primeval, switched out Aur at 40 for Song, (for pve) for the runspeed buff and health/mana regen (nerfed, ugh) about to switch back. Working on some other builds. BR/Def/Arch (currently level 29) is nice, I only use 1 point in archery, for charged bolt, low cooldown slow...

3 large farms of aspen trees, harvested twice a day, will net you ~100 logs per harvest per farm. That's 200 lumber a day. 100 Lumber sells on the AH for 14-16g. Been pretty steady. Plus the need for building materials for the new server. However, I do not know how long it will stay like that...

For now? Take advantage of cross-server AH. People are willing to pay for scarecrow quest stuff, lumber, iron, fabric, etc. Since you can use the AH to xfer money, people who are moving there have the gold to pay for the convenience. For launch? Who knows? Also should take advantage of the...

According to the scheduled downtime, server is not due back up til around 8pm pacific. Edit: So, evidently, this is a thing? People are expecting to be able to log in as soon as they're patched up? I mean, it would be nice if they added a little message about the downtime on the launcher...

Most people are going to do pretty much exactly the same thing they've done in every mmo that's been released in the past decade? Probably. I just want the game to do well enough for long enough that Western developers can finally buy a fucking clue, and start copying something other than WoW. I...

I think one of the problems is that once the economy reaches a certain threshold, everything (farms/ships/houses/gear etc) is too easy to obtain too quickly. Adding content shouldn't be that big of a deal. Throw up some small islands with raid castles. Add a few more sea monsters, roving npc...

I was scraping by mostly, until my first character reached Ynystere. Where the road is literally paved with gold! At the time, lucky clovers were selling for ~4.5g. Helped me fund my large farm. Been experimenting a lot, but whenever I need a quick bit of gold, I just throw up some bait worms...

You're joking right? People have been playing various versions of WoW for over a decade. Anyone who burns out on AA in alpha after a couple months isn't doing it right. The game is far from perfect, but it's a ginormous leap in the right direction. If you burn out on this before launch, what the...

Yes, the spam was horrible. Every couple seconds, plus they like to take up half a page adding ******************** to every damn line. It seems like it's much better since yesterday, only seen a couple. Only seen 10 bots or so killing stuff, but I've been on the jury for a dozen or so trials...
