Now that I have managed to gather some resources and remember how to forge I’ve opened a small shop selling tools - mainly t6/t7 hammers, focusing on speed.
Shop is still being finished but can be reached via the arie hub
I’m trying to avoid commiting to larger custom orders mainly to avoid burnout. I did previously end up spending 80% of my time just stocking my forge shop and making orders.
sales appear to have slowed in other areas of the economy too (to echo what others are saying). I’m guessing we have a dip in active players which we notice more due to the smaller community… Lots of big releases coming out the past few weeks like the New Zelda game, and other big games recently (that is the one that I got pulled out of lots of games I was playing due to).
price are reasonable, dont worry, restock your stands when needed and spend your time at exploring, building, looking for inspirations miners still be mining and emptying your stands over time
dont let the urge of forging more to burn you out
