Tips in the context of updates 31604-31695

[HellMagic1942]

I know no one reads the updates, so I want to share something, that I find important, with the english speakers among you.

It will take effect on the next 7x server, and while most changes will not make huge difference, some of them will cause significant one to say at least.

 

First of all, new 3% Parnassus tax will be applied. (Parnassus is a zone where you could sell stuff without paying taxes, if you did not know this.) This shortens the gap between giran/giran harbor/parnassus taxes, maknig giran market more appealing than before, and will reduce the inflation a bit more.

 

This leads to the second market related change: the item broker will find every shop in the trade zone. If you do not understand how important this is, I will remind to all of you who have forgotten, that the last server, if you had decent trading spot, you could sell low-supply items for tons of adena, just because the broker was not listing every trader available. For example, I was selling mark of fish, gemstone S, str+4 dyes, etc for a price 3 times the average, plain and simple because most of the time the guys who sold it lower, were not listed on the broker.

You could just write "hat+spot 15kk" and people would buy it, because they do not want to spend hours looking for listable spot on the market. You could also search manually around the market, to find underpriced stuff, that noone else found because ... you guessed it - its not listed. While it was somewhat fun, and it brought nostalgia for the time I played this game 20 years ago, it was still complete travesty.

 

Third change, that I want to talk about, is related to the 30 minute respawn of chests. (They contain transform scrolls, attributes, SA crystals etc...). This is important, because dagger/bow classes were farming those 24/7. Usually multiple people for a single chest. And once you open it, you know the exact time the next chest will spawn. So you can rotate your characters through the chest spawns, and control the farming. However... with this randomization (that should have been done years ago...and if you ask me, in greater than 30 min interval) all those people who farm it, will have to "deal with eachother" for quite some time, instead of just logging in - opening it the second it spawns and relogging. This is opening up a place for a casual people to join in the contest, and making experienced farmers work for their profit. (Profit, that could go up to few KKK per week). I am allergic to idiots, so I always stay away from such stuff, but some of you might find it interesting.

 

Fourth - if you are gonna insult someone, do it in PM. This will make you avoid chat-ban. I still recommend not dealing with such people at first place. It makes no sense talking to someone, whom you do not want to talk to.

 

Fifth - Instead of nicknames like "abcd" you will see "Player1-N" in olympiad fights. I use olympiads for +crit damage and some extra adena, but I guess it makes sense for some people...

 

Some other stuff:

- You cannot use BSOE 3 secounds after the last time you took damage.

- New Runes.

- Debuff/burn damage ticks/ for unregistred people in Siege. (Lower chance to get your siege summon canceled by random naked mage)

Parnassus is usually not at x7

This problem was on the previous x7 and was associated with reduced range. Not the fact that it will be on the new server. The problem has most likely been fixed.

It was not just fixed. If we gotta be honest here, it got fixed quite a while ago. Even more...

 

According to the update notes, it should work on even larger area, effectively listing more stocks, that will cause supply-price balance.

I am writing this, in case some gnomes like me plan to do the same, so they know that it wont be possible. I legit farmed 100 gold on the market, because of this situation there.

 

There were days-long periods that the only commodity that remains listed was mine. I realized what is happening relatively early, and made huge profit out of it.

 

As for Parnassus. At first there is no market there. It takes weeks for the gold to get stable price, and for enough people to accumulate goods that they want to sell, and at the same time to have enough people with good amount of money in their pockets to spend. It is all about supply and demand. If I have spoiled/crafted/flipped/enchanted stuff for 4-5 kkk, I do not want to spend 10% of it in taxes, when my profit margin is 30% or so. Imagine working on something for a week, that pays 200kk/day, instead of 300kk/day. I mean, the difference is huge...

Usually traders are too lazy to shift to the Giran Harbor (you can reach there through GK in each town). Tax is 6% there.

Yes, the cheapest and the fastest way to re-stock with soul/spirit shots.

The market takes off relatively early in the server cycle. I do use it both as seller and buyer.

 

But I must agree, outside of SS/BSS there is very limited use of that market. It is rarely worth the time to even check it...
