Making Coins Vs Selling Ore

[SoulCaster]

Hey Guys

Ive figured out after some testing and calculations that is most likely more effective to have 8 gold mines lvl 5 ( 8 if u have beaten wild mary ) to sell the ore and make gold rather than making gold mines, gold smelters and COINAGE !! why????

Think about all the resources and coins u need to make gold smelters and coinage atleast to lvl 3 so imagine lvl 5 ! insane i know ! so here is how im doing it :

8 gold mines at lvl 5 wich only requires tools ( very easy to make or trade ) while being buffed makes 400 gold ore
400x24=9600 gold ore a day
9600-/-400 (a stack ) = 24 stacks ( sell for 85 that would be = 2040 coins ! sell at 110 = 2640 coins !

What are the expenses?

Lets say 8 mines take 1 golden parrot a day, that would be ... at 85c u would make 2040 so 2040 - 1200c ( 8 parrots at 150c ) = 840c a day !
at 110c u would make 2640 so 2640 - 1200 = 1200c a day !!!!

To summarise it all:

To start making gold at early stages it is better to start selling the ore for coins ! and once you have made enough gold coins u can then invest in making gold smelters and coinage themselves !! :) ( unless ur a gem freak ! lol )

Hope this helped if ur stuck on ur coins :)))
Feel free to post ur opinions :))

I rather think I would invest in tools. When everybody wants 5000 tools for the last upgrade I'll get stinking rich. :rolleyes:

Selling ore basically eliminates the risk of your smelter/coinage running out of baskets while you're not available to put those buildings to sleep.

So instead of all 3 buildings in the entire chain running at low efficiency, you only have to worry about one.

Its what I do when I need gold coin - although I tend to get 2 Friends basket buff per day for 18 hours of buffed output. Sometimes the other 6 hours gets a sandwich, or switched off but I take the view that life is to short and on 24 hours a day but buffed only 18 hours (75%) its still worthwhile.

is it me? or accordind to your calculations your "set up" does not cover the expenses?

Your gold production is based on buying golden parrots.
Come back when you don't spend any gems.

Tierarzt - granted I have bought gems and parrots from the gems but what I think SoulCaster is trying to say is gold production for a non gem buying player is worthwhile if you can find a regular supplier.

A parrot refill sells for around 150 - 175 gold coin, sometimes less.
Lets assume 150 gold coin for a moment. That parrot gives you 500 ore filled into your mine, fully buffed that would be 1000 ore deposited into your storehouse.
The smelter uses 2 ore to produce a bar but buffed its 1:1 so you could get 1000 gold bars from your 1000 ore that was buff extracted.
Coinage uses 4 bars to produce 1 coin but buffed that's 4 bars produce 2 coin. As such your 1000 bars could produce 500 coins.

Excluding cost of coal your parrot bought for 150 has been transformed into 500 coin.

It doesnt matter if each building is level 1 or 5. The end product is the same. Naturally the higher the level of buildings the quicker you could see the output and fewer buffs required (again a resource cost).

There are many people doing this so I don't see how the logic fails. BB needs a culture of gem buying to make the game worth creating and maintaining and non gem players need a way to accumulate gold away from trade all day to remain competitive with gem players.

both calculations are based on buying parrots

if u wanna spend 4 hours + refinding gold mines its up to you , other players dont wanna wait that long :) and therefore use parrots :) if u make that profit while using parrots well u dont loose anything, ppl will agree and disagree like eveything we do ppl agree and disagree :)

You're making 2 assumptions...
1. you can trade 9600 ore a day, every day (and the time required to do it) without flooding the market and driving prices down
2. you can find someone or a few people willing to spend 600 gems a day, every day.

All strategies you can come up with will always have to be compared to the specific situation of each player. The strategy working for one does not mean it will work for another...

In addition, in the case of everyone choosing the same strategy none will work. If for example everyone would sell gold ore, no one would be able to buy it. The best way for the game to work is everybody picking the strategy he/she likes best.

For me personally, I am one of those guys buying the ore and turning it into coin...
