Every other month with minimal labor I would be able to pay for those alt accounts with their labor. Again from a stand point of silver to labor or $ / hr it probably didn't make much sense, but the masses (and even I) often times do not value our time very much x.xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783642904185417722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-64451390831904993932017-06-01T08:08:09.656+02:002017-06-01T08:08:09.656+02:00The reason labor is valued so low for some of thes...The reason labor is valued so low for some of these tasks is that they're easy and mindless to do on an alt account. If they still have loyalty in the game for being active daily and having a sub then an alt account can essentially pay for its sub from loyalty alone and still gain some profit. That last part might need checking into as I haven't played in 2 years, but that's how it worked back when I did. Thus for low effort, some quick in mining hot spots you'd burn off your labor and generate those bonus items to buy chum, crops, etc. all having some value to them. This would push an alt account into the ball park of a decent chunk of value for "low effort". as I recall it took roughly 45 minutes of mining to burn 5k of labor with all the mining speed ups available. Again I don't have the figures in front of me, but it was an activity I found tolerable to add to my daily routine for awhile. Since I needed additional accounts to split my property and reduce taxes (as I owned a large portion of south windscour in my days). All of these factors and more made alt accounts valuable, thus there are activities that were extremely low effort that don't make sense financially for the labor to silver ratio.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783642904185417722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-24176995126099951282017-06-01T07:37:50.823+02:002017-06-01T07:37:50.823+02:00Logs are a waste product, Ore (and especially ston...Logs are a waste product, Ore (and especially stone) are much more in demand.<br /><br />On my US server, 100 lumber goes between 10 and 20g depending on time of day, stone is 25-35g and ore is 15-25g per amount for a pack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-11369850514395413362017-06-01T06:38:30.838+02:002017-06-01T06:38:30.838+02:00No, there is not, so someone must do the process. ...No, there is not, so someone must do the process.
