A pirate alt is almost a given, just to be able to steal crap :p

We'll see how it goes, but right now my plan is to race and 5 farms in the first day or whatever, let my family do with it what they will, and process the materials they send me in the mail.

But build a house and jerk off in it or whatever? I see why people want to do it, it's just not for me. The idea of it just makes me want to go play minecraft.

But to have a whole town of guildmates sitting in PvP land sounds like a pretty cool thing. i like the idea of defending my town and see other guildies all around.

Yeah we'll probably have a massive village, a castle in the north and houses spotted along islands and all along the coast/high travel areas. Can't wait!

So from what I can tell you need to be 10 to get the small farm quest, so I guess I'll be doing a speed 1-10 too.

OUch first thing I notice is someone has archemaster title, which iirc means they leveled every tree to 50. People are crazy with time invested in characters that don't count.

Edit: Watching more, OT looks so disorganized. No coordinated pushes timed with CC. They seemed to just sit back and try to range fight, while just letting them rotate the AE magic immune.

Edit: How did nekrage get so much HP? Shows him a healer there, but the guy recording him targets him and he's at like 40% life , with 20kish? Most HP I've seen is like 18k on tanks. Does the guild leader get some buff/ability for sieges?

It's not that huge of an accomplishment, especially post 1.2. There's grown shit that gives you shitloads of xp when you harvest it, just cost a bit of cash to make it, and you can level 3 trees at a time, since you don't have to worry about combat. I've heard you can max all trees in like a week this way.

Been reading this entire thread over the last several days (in May 2014 right now).

I'm wondering how many small farms it'd take to start growing everything for the beginning quests (large farm, donkey, etc). Someone at one point mentioned something to me and I thought that making a few chars during the head start and dropping farms all over might be a good strategy. Get all kinds of crap growing and let your main harvest it all to do those quests and sell, with use of labor pots.

I want to say Tuco laid out a good plan for getting through all those as fast as you can, getting 15 stars, and dropping your house as soon as possible. Having the extra farms seems like it'd help, even if it means you have to level up a few chars to 10ish to begin with (with long grow times this likely won't matter since people will be waiting on their crops to harvest).

Hehe you're misattributing something to me. I haven't laid out any early-game rush strats, though people in PRX has some really good ones (that shouldn't be shared outside of PRX!).

For West large farm pack shoping list (pre 1.2):

Pack certs costed 50s each (required for each trade pack creation)

Buy and plant 30-33 strawberry seeds

Buy and plant 5-7 bean seeds from a Seed Merchant.

Buy goslings from a Livestock Merchant (Re-usable, number depends on desired speed of completion) (Matures in 6 hours, Harvest every 3 hours) So Plant these right away. (Require 50 downs)

Buy and plant 30-33 Narcissus Seeds from a Seedling Merchant (Need 100 plants)

Acquire 90 raw stone. (Need 30 refined for pack) Harvestable from iron nodes

Donkey is pretty simple, requires vita plant (vendor bought) and some water (acquirable at nearby well) and minor interactions.

After this is done focus on Wood. (Hard to get, needed for boats/largefarm/house construction)

A few pages later, I saw that apparently taxes are account wide. So that plan doesn't really work anyway. Sounds like the best thing to do is group up with a bunch of people and just do the family thing.

And yeah, my bad Tuco, it was Pyros.

The thing is the farms in Tigerspine mountains are not good, not by any stretch. They're nice to have early on when you don't know what you need for each quest, but once you do know the quest requirements, it's just as fast to get all your shit done at once then turn in all the quests in one go. There's a lot better spots, such as places with natural trees, places near the water(can build a boat easily, can run an aquafarm), places near teleporters to the other continent and so on. There is pretty much no benefit to the farms that are next to the NPC other than saving you a couple of hereafter stones early on for your turn ins.

My plan is to drop down a farm asap wherever I find a spot, doesn't really matter but preferably in temperate climate, then do tumeric+cotton+bananas right away and grind mines for the stones and do the 4 tradepack quests, plus a few more(probably cotton runs but not sure I still need to check the costs/time) so I get 15 gilda stars, buy a house and go drop that+big farm in a good spot asap(which is not tigerspine), then move my small farm to reserve some more space. I haven't scouted the spot yet nor checked everything but yeah tigerspine farms are actually not very good.

Makes me wish I didn't play pre 1.2 and just waited for the patch. Since so much changed and everything I knew about crafting, what to plant etc now has a bunch of added stuff to it or changed completely.

Yeah that's the #2 reason I haven't played much. Have they said whether they were releasing with 1.2's mechanics? Or is there a chance they're going to seriously revamp again?

I think 1.2 is here to stay. Only things I've read from official source was about looking into labor regen , archeum drop rate and something else.

less of an accomplishment pre patch, when you could just uproot your potatoes, while being afk... I leveled riley like that, but godamn are the leveling items so good, and much more efficient for around 300g, you basically level a new class to 50.

I bought one of the $150 packages a while ago when they initially put them up for sale. Thought I would have the time and desire to play this game when it launched. I realize now I probably won't have either so I'm looking to sell my account to someone at a reasonable price in-order to recoup some of the cost. PM me any offers. Not guaranteeing that I will sell it if I don't get what I think is a fair price for it though.
