Ladies and gentleman, the Tiger Merchant Marketplace is now open on Therka. You’ll find me at the far eastern end of the Therka Market. I plan to maintain a mining shop full of all the weapons you need at reasonable prices. You do the mining, I’ll do the crafting. Here’s my buying prices for now:
Soft Coal - 3 coins
Copper Ore - 15 coins
Iron Ore - 30 coins
Small Fossils - 20 coins
Bones - 5 coins
I currently have these things for sale:
Gold - 250 coins
Copper Grappling Hook - 100 coins
Healing Brews - 50 coins
Once I have enough materials to make hammers, these items will be for sale:
Copper Tools - 100 coins
Iron Tools - 150 coins
These prices are based on this equation:
Copper Ore x2 = 30 coins
Soft Coal x4 = 12 coins
Sticks x4 = 2 coins
Small Fossil x1 = 20 coins
7:30 minutes = 7.5 coins
Make a little room for profit, and the price is 100 coins. This allows me to make my tools from purchased materials instead of relying on my own mining. I will have a much more consistant supply of tools to offer as I will have a very consistant flow of materials from all of you making a profit.
According to the research of @Nyuudles on Durability of Tools (Recorded information), a tool breaks about 80 blocks. If even 10% of your findings are copper ore, you will make 20 coins on that alone at my store. That’s not to mention the iron, coal, and stones you’ll find that I will also gladly buy from you. Profits for all!
