I have no idea whatsoever about what the things I'm buying and selling do, but I do know that I'm making loads of money off of them. Final tally for the night is: 105 Gold in Pocket 320 Gold in Goods listed on auction house with everything undercut enough to stand out Realistically, I see myself making around 200 off my current holdings.
I literally have no idea what I am supposed to do with the crafting system. I've got that early quest that is supposed to introduce you to making tradepacks. I have no idea how to get any of the contents or anything. Seriously, I never deal with crafting systems in MMOs. Its literally the only thing I completely avoid in them, and I can't really do that here.

Forgot to post yesterdays story. The day started out with some of us changing our sales to the new pirate hat facepunch logo. [t]http://i.imgur.com/GlNCJ0o.jpg[/t] We decided to attach 3 boats and sail linked to Sanddeep. This really slowed us down so we had to stop after a while and sail normally.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/B241BJN.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/ky9VYyD.jpg[/t] Once Jonoporter got on we had 8 people so we wanted to do a big trade run with the warship. Things did not quite go as planned as we got constantly attacked by high levels. We fended off a few of them but eventually they all came back and boarded at the same time.

I'd recommend holding off on that for now. What you'd want to do is chop down trees, mine ore and pick certain flowers you may find useful. After that you can turn wood into lumber, ore into ingots, cotton into fabric and raw stones into dumb stone bricks. From there you have a ridiculous amount of options. If you're building a boat or a house, you can make packs of lumber and rocks to finish construction. If you want new weapons and armor, make sure to turn your old stuff into dust using the stones you can buy from blacksmiths. If you want a new glider, go buy the blueprints for everything up to the ultimate glider apart from the experimental one you get from a quest and build it immediately, but after that it gets more difficult. If you need to teleport a lot, you can buy some magic wedges from general merchants and turn your dumb stone bricks into smart hereafter stones. You can also use your lumber to make furniture using designs sold by carpentry merchants. That's most of what I've figured out you can do at your level. You can find any recipe by pressing the o key. Items that requires construction, like houses and boats show the requirement for construction when you hover over it, which is usually packs that requires 100 of the corresponding item like lumber, stone bricks and iron ingots.

Aww man I log back in to start afking my 7 hour debuff, and I have 81/50 crime points :v:
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;45656663]Hah, I legitimately haven't the faintest clue what I'm doing when it comes to crafting. Crafting is just never a thing I get in to in MMOs, but there is a much greater emphasis on it in this one.[/QUOTE] its a really simple system, I used to be the same way but I've made over a hundred gold off trading :v:
just earned 80 more gold off of mining [video=youtube;PBwAxmrE194]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBwAxmrE194[/video]

I helped some guy defend his 500+ tree farm, and he gave me a thunderstruck!
[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;45666613]I helped some guy defend his 500+ tree farm, and he gave me a thunderstruck![/QUOTE] Why didn't you just plunder the 500+ tree farm, take all the thunderstruck for yourself, and make sick bank?
[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;45666613]I helped some guy defend his 500+ tree farm, and he gave me a thunderstruck![/QUOTE] Holy shit.

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;45666645]I stopped wasting my labor on chopping trees down a couple days ago.[/QUOTE] Free lumber isn't a waste. You can sell it for a pretty good penny.

May do it shortly though. I've gotten up to 23, got myself the little rowboat, got the Ultra glider, cut down random aspen trees.
[QUOTE=Telepethi;45666704]Free lumber isn't a waste. You can sell it for a pretty good penny.[/QUOTE] Eh, too each his own I guess. Lumber only goes for 14g on Omega, 500 labor to turn 300 logs into 100 lumber + the amount of chopping down just seems pointless at this point.

You use lumber to build shit, it aint worth shit [editline]12th August 2014[/editline] Also that thunderstruck is an EASY 800+ gold, potentially 900 if you get the right buyer.

That being said he could have had more than one thunderstruck. If the guy was comfortable giving him one there was definitely more than one.
None of us have mentioned the awesome and absolutely insane trade route that we successfully completed today. I'll bust out paint and a world map and chart it out, but it was amazing.

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;45666778]There was only two, but he let me have the first I seen. He said "it's only alpha, I don't use gold for anything"[/QUOTE] That's silly. It's been in Alpha for a year. For all intents and purposes this is the game.
[QUOTE=Telepethi;45666785]That's silly. It's been in Alpha for a year.

All I have left to do is finish gearing myself up, after that it's all just guild stuff.
Game's back.
