WTS: Dol-grithor Hue 108 Halberd

People dont farm no more. They just do harrowers and champs from the look of it.

farming isn’t profitable as much as other methods, farming spots are constantly beaten from pk (or bored veterans dressed like pk) that makes it even less convenient.
bosses/arrower spots are not.
Making life of new players even harder, I’m saying this without personal interest as I don’t even farm anymore, just an objective observation.

Maybe it's because some stupid fuck “pvp“ers are bored of being friended with each other (aka gay) and are thus searching for pee v pee by 3-4 ganking farmers, dry looting, pet killing and rez killing (great achievement).

Not all people are doing that, but right now, more than enough.

Edit: Did I mention that they still manage to lose one of their gankers in stat loss, although it's a 1v4. *cough* hello dredd ,hello k*p *cough*

.

just to also suggest a solution other than shining light on an issue:

INCREASE STANDARD MOBS LOOT/CONVENINENCE

At the moment there are mobs that aren't worth even the reagents and the mana cost to kill them. Like litterally a mongbat or an headless can drop nothing at all. Increasing their loot to 500gp to 1k each will put more money into newbies pokets helping them to join the shard's economical life.
Veteran won't become any richer as they don't usually farm this kind of mobs and even if they could they won't be getting the thrill they are after from that activity.
Bored vet/pk can't keep trak of every single tile in the game and therefore won't be able to make the life of these newbie miserable.

just my 2 cents. SOrry Hoominaga for the off-topic. free bump.

I AM GENIUS!!

To be honest, plat should never hit the 10k Mark.

When i startet here, plat was valued ~5-6k per Coin.
There was less around in general, and everyone was after it.

Then a guild called [UO] Started to play here.
I dont want to point fingers, but from my observation its partially theyr doing that plat prices increased.

Then People in general started to ask for more gold / plat, till it finally hit the 10k mark.

1) Now, ofc.. with 10k / coin it is MUCH more valuable to do just champ spawns / harrowers instead of regular farming.
2) Fishing too, provides less Gold, unless you trade items for Gold, and more Plat through AMIBs. Same as christmas scrolls or lvl7's.

Result ofc, lot more plat around, after a while, everones trying to sell, but there is lesser gold around.
-> Gold value increases again, Plat prices dropping.

This step is actually needed, and i welcome it!
The additional effect of it is, that it gets more people into Farming Gold again.

To sum things up:
Everything as it should be, the Economy is just regulating itself.

Edit:
Now, buy my damn 10k plats from the trade forums! /jk

i dont farm gold because i could never get a good run without pks. if i have to reset every 20 minutes its not worth my time.

and as soon as a pk sees you somewhere you have to assume they will check back shortly.. or check other spots if thy dont see you there.

cbf with the hassle!

the downfall of platinum value won’t make any more gold in circulation, actually platinum at 10k was one of the best way for newbies to monetize.
often time I’ve have purchased plat at 10k from new players in need of gold to buy their first house, platinum getting less valuable once again will hit newbie first...

no I’m not talking about 3account afk players, i’m talking about those that play ultima for real, those that only have one account, kills mobs for 4 hours a day or more and when they drop one plat its a big difference in their income.

You forgot blue baiting. It will be nice when UOR is cured of this disease. I believe scientists have dubbed it ‘teenage angst’.

Am I the only one that still farms regular mobs and gold? Lol..fuck I’m a loser!
