Apache is selling bins and other items

[KeithStone]

Apache has been around since beta, we have a strong tribe community and have decided to back our preferred currency.

We are in Zone: 897 Pos: 987x1014 Right on the lake!

We take Dollar bills, Quarters, and Pennies - we would also take any other type of bills like 5's, 10's, etc if they are even in game, also dimes and nickles if they are in game is well, but i doubt it.

We sell the following:
Bins for $15 or 10 for $100
Scavengers Rod/Fishing Pole for $10
Saw Blades $80
Knife Blades: $20
Metal Buckles $150
Metal Decorations $250
Rainbow Trout stack of 10 for $20
Feathers $2

Over 150 recipes in stock! Pricing works like this: Level 40 recipe sells at $20x4 = $80 - recipes under level 20 sells for $60

We will buy the following in limited quantities: We purchase based on available funds
Rainbow Trout Stack of 10 for $15

Nails: Stacks of 30 for $40
Rivets: Stacks of 30 for $40
Bolts: Stacks of 30 for $40
Screws: Stacks of 30 for $40

We will add more items to this list very soon, so check back often!

Note* When we have the ability to use an in game merchant/auction or when they fix the quest system we will not do manual trades, right now we have no other choice.

legitimate question:

How long does it take for you to gather materials and make a bin?
How long does it take to scavenge $25?

I'd be curious to know if it's an equal amount of time.

[Rhodes]

The time frame is irrelevant in that comparison because not everyone has the ability to make a bin.
Everyone has the ability to scavenge $25.

In addition, a player could scavenge $10, buy a pole and then sell tons of rainbow trout for however much money they need.

Good initiative, Apache.

[Morgan]

alright, more relevant question:

how long does it take to grind basketry to make a bin?
How long does it take to scavenge $25?

Those times may be equal.

[Miyukini]

I pay 10$ for 4grass (a stack)

I sell a bin 15$

Look at my totem

I'm at 817 740 90

not everyone that picks basketry starts with a bin, unless you specifically pick basketry you dont have ability to make bins. also given time to make and fail multiple bins over time compounds the amount of time it takes to make a massive amount of bins there by increasing the cost.

Where scavenging money increased the yield per pull which will further depreciate the value of the money and increase the cost.

Where scavenging money increased the yield per pull which will further depreciate the value of the money and increase the cost.

But it also increases the amount of goods pulled in. So that statements validity is very much up in the air. I would even venture a guess and say that scavenging produces a goods/money(as Apache have defined that concept) ratio that, looking at the above price scheme, will bring the dollar price down - should the system take off. Even if we allow for some value added for immediate availability and time spent. The latter is rarely appreciated at very much in MMO markets.

So if, again assuming that this takes off, I were to advice someone, I would say he should hold on to his dollars, because their buying power is bound to increase. It only requires a look at what an average round of scavenging brings in.

But I do applaud the attempt at defining a currency.

EDIT: Just struck me that money, obviously, will stay while most goods will be consumed in one way or the other ofc. And seeing as they will be consumed atm by making goods not really sought after, the theories crafted above are subject to some heavy modifiers.

As of right now not a single person has a found a bin recipe, so if you don't start with the ability to make bins you won't be able to ever make them. Of course this could change, but that's how it is right now - also it's the first day we went public with some of our pricing, it will take some time to get it down.

Good stuff. I have no need of your services at the moment but nice to see this being advertised. Currency is what we as a community make it, this is a start I suppose.

That's what I was waiting to hear. Because if you were going to insist on gouging, I'll just re roll until I start with bins and undercut you
