and what happened to the last goddard post?
too many bot accusations so it was deleted?
i only read the first 2 posts someone give me a summary please ^^
Manor!!!
dammit get it back up
ill tell you the same thing i told EA
get the manor up or ill run you off the server
you do remeber what happened to EA right? :P
Gludio was a good manor, and I have high hopes that it will come back up. Innadril, Giran seem to run well. I keep looking for seeds in Oren, but can't find as many at my level. I don't know I guess there are some good manor systems around, and I really enjoyed running Gludio's for as long as we held the castle. I'd like to see more availability at Goddard, but I know that setting these things up takes a serious investment from a clan to get started, and constant nurturing to make a profit from.
Hope you get what you're looking for Nameless *hugs*
Well whoever's doing Oren's atm don't know wth they are doing. Prices they are offering for crops is scandalous - I bet no one's selling them anything, and serves the greedy dratsabs right ^^
Dion also happens to have a manor, and from looking at it, I'd say it is set up much nicer then Gludio and Giran's.
Then again, I know the guy who did it.
My apologies Kut. My lack of acknowledgement of Dion's manor came not from my disabuse of the manor, because I think when you run the manor that it runs very well indeed. In fact the only time Gludio has run better was when I was running Gludio, but hey that's just my opinion, so you and I will have to agree to disagree there. My lack of mention of Dion comes from my unfortunate lack of use of Dion's manor as I don't even have alts in the level ranges to really do Dion seeds anymore. I need Oren, Aden and Goddard seeds. Oh well. Thanks Bigs for having Suede and Thread set up. We've been turning in Sea Codran in Aden and paying the adena to get the Thread from Innadril.
Good luck everyone. After running a manor for 6 weeks I know how much time it takes out of your day to keep it running smoothly.
I was not asking how i could make it more profitable for us, i was asking how it could be better for the seeders :x
As a matter of fact, Giran's manor can work quite fine because the amount of taxes itself is enough to provide enough funds to not even have to sell any of the produced items created thru the manor crafting system. All i'm trying to do now is tweak it a bit so that it can fit everyone's tastes.
To be honest, other than not being able to get the seeds I need in Oren at the moment I'm pretty happy with most of the current manor systems that are up and running. With the advent of C4, everyone got a little more piece of the pie since even in Gludio they can craft EW-A, EA-A etc... It just costs a little more. So most of the craft items that are profitable are still currently profitable, until the next NC event drops the prices on those items due to a flooded market.
To Oren: Sell more seeds, and increase your buybacks. If you want I can send you the spreadsheet (excel) I created for Gludio which showed what prices needed to be to make a profit on the Manor but still provide good customer service. To be honest we took a major loss on Red Coda and Chilly Coda, but hey our gains were really good with the other seeds.
To everyone else: Keep doing what you're doing. If more people used the manor system they'd love it. Just today soloing I picked up about 1000 charcoal for 30adena each. Where else can you do that?

All seeds on sale at Oren are already maxed out, I cant sell more or buy back more. Maybe the problem with buyback is that ppl seed the 4x hp mobs getting too much crop back?
Ive set taxes to 10% in Oren, and that tax rate barely brings in money, hence no red or chilly cobol. Other manors are selling/buying them so cheap that I cant compete.
Not many ppl visit Oren, which means I dont have the luxury of putting up the seeds I lose money on. And lately it seems im just buying back other manors surplus crops, since alot of seeds are still for sale, but i get full returns.
Im doing my best to get the manor to work, but I cant give away money just coz ppl need mats.. sorry... :confused:
What I can do (and did last night) is to put up more varieties of seeds, so that ppl who have surplus that they cant sell back to other manors can sell them back to oren and atleast get something back. This should come in effect after todays manor reset.
We had the tax rate in Gludio set at 5%, and probably didn't make more than a dime off taxes. We also probably lost more money than earned on the sale of seeds because most of our high end seeds would go unsold during the day after C4, because I don't think people knew that Gludio could sell them, nor where they could sow them.
However, what we also did do was buy back as many fruits as possible including those from other manor systems if possible, because about every three days we would turn those into EW-D, EW-B, EW-A, and Crystals and we could sell EW-Ds in Dion in 48 hours and make a fat profit. Some seeds were more profitable than others, but we did really well with the Enchant Weapon scrolls. We also did really well with a bunch of Dual Craft Stamps. But you're right Chilly Coda and Red Coda are money losing seeds. For what you pay for them you're paying way to much to craft anything with them, but that's varnish and Ori Ore to your customers.
Now Chilly Cobol on the other hand, set that sucker to Type I (Bones) and I think you'd be sold out every night of the week within an hour, with fruit you can make a profit off of. Everyone is looking for bones right now, myself included.
Well, as it is right now, i don't need to make any profit off the seeds i sell. In fact i don't even know how many of them i sold and which one i sold. All i know is that each morning when i log, i got all the crops i would have liked without any problem. And as i stated earlier, taxes incomes makes it for the prices of the crops. Seeds sales is barely a bonus.
Maybe i should look into it, but as a matter of fact, Giran might be the manor needing the less effort of all to be run (mainly because of the taxes), with the exception maybe of Aden.

Yeah, you have the easy one :mad:
Me? I have to set up store on 3 accounts each night to get my money back :confused:

I guess that's where we go lucky. Yes I personally had 2 accounts up pretty much 24/7 to sell the stuff we crafted, but we had several clan members that helped out as well so that the load was divided between 6 of us. That made stuff sell much quicker and profit returned faster. But it seems like more clan leaders take the responsibility to sell on their own, which I think would be crazy.

Good luck with it Smittie.
Thx.. I have been doing pretty good so far.. EAB sells fast at my low price.. and 3 accounts means 12 sell spots.. so its not too bad...
The income/loss from seed sales is indignicant to the manor, I have to say in the past 3 weeks I haven't even checked it once. When I originally set it up, I set it to sell a little more seeds than it takes to get the full return on crops. Haven't touched it since.
Someone mentioned shutting off seed sales to clear a back log of crops, which I would be more than happy to do, but I haven't gotten any pms from anyone on it.

Depends on your buyback:sell ratio
I had to spends my nights in town for a while because i had a big difference on my buyback:sell for varnish seeds. Still made the profit but we didnt have the money to leave it alone for days
Put me back in the castle next Saturday evening and it'll be back up and running by Monday evening... Hehe... Now soliciting all help for the Gludio castle siege. I don't seem to be getting much help though, so I guess I'll just sit in Giran and craft...
Orain, you want a castle, but yet do not have a manor, and profit on taxes arent that much. Why are you there? Let someone who knows how to run a mannor get in the castle...Or you keeping it so your clan members can easily port to EG to kill some d-graders?
