First of all, lets just say I'm a bit fed up right now.
I've been trying to sell my Chilly Cobol seeds for the past five days now. But every time the entire buy back quota reaches zero within a matter of seconds... I do know that these seeds are quite popular, but this is outrageous. It is nearly impossible for normal players to sell their crops :(.
That's all I wanted to say. Thanks for reading :p
PS: Got a solution? Post it here :)
Haha, and you think I haven't tried that?
The main problem with the sell system is that it takes about 6 or so seconds before you can try to sell again, because it involves a LOT of clicking... Maybe that should be made a little easier in C5, as that would help real players a lot IMHO. :)
I sold my red cobol too last night ;) How I do it while the manor is under maintenance setup your crop sale window so all you have to do is click sale. Then speak manor manager again and keep trying to buy 1 seed as soon as you are able to buy a seed click the sale button.
The problem I'm having at the moment is the Gludio and Oren manor systems aren’t even set up! Would the manor lords please set them up.
Synchronize your windows clock with the time server, use windowed mode and sell back exactly as the clock hits 20.05 (or 20.06, not sure, one of the two >.<)
Well, that's kinda handy too... But I am not sure if Manor System worked today...
I tried to sell my seeds as usual, but when the Olympiad games started, there was no message that the Manor was under maintenance. Nor could I sell my seeds in Dion. Instead, I had to revert to either Giran or Innadril. There were not any seeds for sale either! This is ridicoulous.
Am I missing something the rest of the world does know? :confused:
For months, I kept trying to sell my few thousands of chilly cobols, all at once, with no success at all. Eventually, I decided to sell them in small "packets" (one day I sold 400 out of a total of, say, 3000. The following day I'd try with 400 more, etc). It worked very well in my case.
If you try to sell the maximum amount that the NPC is buying (or a big amount, anyway), it's very likely that you'll get the "wrong amount" message because someone has already sold some before you. In that case, you can be sure that there'll be no crops left to buy when you get into the "sell" window again :-) However it's very possible to sell small amounts before farmers can monopolize them all :-)
Of course, you also need to know, not exactly but within a margin of seconds, the time at wich the buying / selling starts everyday.
I think it would be at 18:00 GMT, if I've made the conversion from my time zone correctly. Anyway, check for it as soon as you see the system message that announces the starting of the Olympiads - Manor will open at about the same time, just a few minutes later.
I cannot be more accurate as it's been a few weeks since I last manored anything, but I'd advice you to do the following:
Go to the manor NPC when you see the Olympiads message. The manor period should have started by then, or either be about to start. It does so with a short maintenance period in which nothing can be sold or bought. This period lasts for between three and five minutes (can´t remember how long exactly, but it does start and end at the exact same instant everyday).
What I'd do is have a clock at hand, and then keep clicking on the manor NPC to buy or sell anything. You'll get the "you can't use the manor system during maintenance" if maintenance is still on, but just keep trying. When you get a succesful transaction with the NPC (with "succesful" I mean that the NPC replies to your buy / sell request, regardless that you've been fast enough to actually buy / sell them), it'll mean that maintenance is over. So have a look at your clock, and write down the time it is :-)
With that you'll have a pretty accurate idea of when you can start selling / buying everyday. Then you'll be able to adjust it further by just trying to buy / sell in the following days.
