I wanna write this and let people know about mining contracts

pajew · 2020-08-02T04:25:27.381Z

I’ve had a few people think there being ripped off with a 50/50 split on ore gems lucent u keep the rest. Im supplying hammers brew food and complete atlases for the exos. But still have people complaining its not fair. Im sry people feel this way but ur actually getting more since im not asking for coal or anything else. Let’s get your opinions. Tell me what u think. Btw I have 3 open spot if anyone is interested

it might be worth it for a new player to get their foot in the door if they can’t afford a hammer, but anyone who can afford their own gear - it’s not a good deal.

example, the hammer and gear you are giving them is worth 15k rrp max. If they know to mine hotspots, they should be raking in upto 100k of resources per hammer. Therefore you are gaining 50k of resources for an outlay of 15k (much less if forging yourself).

A fair deal would be to agree on an amount of lucents or ores per hammer / bundle that equal the selling price of the bundle.

Honestly, as long as they know the deal up front, I am not sure what they have to complain about. If they don’t like the deal, then its not like you are forcing them to do it.

I started out mining with TNT / @Mayumichi 's mining contracts a long time ago and felt it was fine, I took none of the financial risk so I was only using my time and I got a reward… was worth it to me.

SenshiroSan · 2020-08-02T04:46:18.800Z

It can be helpful for new players, I mean for Xp easy way to lvl up quickly , it’s a fair deal I do that at the start with TNT mining contract thx @Mayumichi . For me I don’t see any problem to make 50/50 with hammer plus pies. But if a player buy a hammer keep all the ores and coal then sell half after that buy a hammer and repeat He don’t care about mining contract you know what I mean?

Can you break down your prices for me then if 15k isn’t accurate?

Parnwig · 2020-08-02T05:26:53.524Z

Been playing for a while and haven’t heard of mining contracts. In addition to the supplies, what does this entail? You give them stuff then they go mine and give you half or you go with them or…?

Time is your most valuable asset in this game though. Doesn’t look like you will post your breakdown, so here’s some market research:

T7 Max speed hammer 12k currently in stock at Dub T
Persisting Pie 100c each (in stock at many shops at this price)
Mega Strength Brew 140c x 3 = 420c (in stock at many shops at this price)
Completed atlas’s can be picked up usually for 100c to 500c

Well under the 15k that I estimated.

You asked why people think they are getting ripped off, I’m just providing the hard facts. Contracts are great to get players started in the mining industry, other than that they are not a great return on your time investment.

Parnwig · 2020-08-02T05:33:51.682Z

Does it involve coins too or it’s supplies for lucents?

Mittins · 2020-08-02T05:36:36.795Z

The deal is square. Id stick with it. No matter what, you will find people to complain about it. Fairness shouldnt be the question because its value is completely different for people at different levels and skills. Two fully spec’d level 50 characters may still take different amounts of time to mine the same number of target resource. That alone causes a difference of value. I was around when these contracts started and thought they were legit back then, and i still do.

If some people dont like the compensation, then they are not your target audience. Find those that need a little help, and will accept a package of goods in order to start a gem collection, even if they get half as much for their time. Thats 100% more than they could gather on their own.

Not to mention the increase in speed and ability with your package of goods. Tbh, they probably cant match their profits, given the same amount of time, with their own stuff.

Its probably just hard to let all that stuff go when it comes time to pay up…

Parnwig · 2020-08-02T05:37:41.154Z

Not to derail, but what is Dub T? Sounds like I need to start buying hammers!

DJDancecraft · 2020-08-02T05:37:58.238Z

tbh always kinda wanted one of these contracts just because of those FREE HAMMERS! (its tough getting my forger to forge me up the stuff)

Parnwig · 2020-08-02T05:39:10.788Z

Don’t even ASK me to forge these for you! I’d throw extra mud in yours

DJDancecraft · 2020-08-02T05:39:57.048Z

im storming your way right now mud man! i want to dig whether i get dirty or not!

Parnwig · 2020-08-02T05:44:47.689Z

It seems fair to me. I’m assuming no coins are involved, based on the answer, and it’s an easy way to get supplies to mine with no effort. I make my stuff, which takes a lot of time. Even buying the stuff takes time to run to various shops to buy

Dub T is found on Lutrion. He has some T7 sapphire hammers with +45 speed (I believe that’s speed cap on sapphire hammers) for 12k each and a few others at 35 or 40 speed too.
