The title says it all. I pay Cubits for coins. Because this is in my opinion the only way to get enough coins to afford Forged Tools. This is because no one buys raw materials or items or just so cheap that you can not buy anything for them and the forging system is so complicated that very few understand and master it and exploit it without shame and demand the resulting usury prizes for it can not afford. So Boundless is absolutely no fun, though it’s through out a game with potential.
Therefore, I ask for the opportunity to buy coins for Cubits or a forging system, which EVERYONE can understand and master, or NPC’s to which you can sell things at fair prices.
Please excuse my bad English, I never got it taught, my teacher preferred to drink alcohol. I therefore ask you to answer in a very simple English and not to use abbreviations or foreign words. Thank you.
Forged tools and weapons have come down from over 50,000. Personally I think that the prices right now are pretty fair given all the items to takes to create the tool/weapon the all the forge ingredients.
If you need coin I suggest joining a hunt. The portal networks are always buying oortstones. You don’t even have to fight really just try to keep up and loot the meteor when It is completed. In about an hour you could easily make 30,000+
If buying coin for cubits was a thing in this game, I think a lot of people would quit.
On top of that, if you have a shop and stuff isn’t selling then it’s very possible your prices aren’t low enough to move those items. In addition to that, make forum posts to advertise your shop and what is in it at what prices and where someone needs to go to get to the shop.
If people advertised their shops more then people would be more informed as to where they can go to sell their stuff and make a little bit of coin.
many shops sell gem tools for 2k coins
do one group pure hunt or ps hunt that can net you an easy 15k
after 3 hunts you can have enough money to buy the coils for your centraforge to perfect forge
or just buy your own forged tools if you dnt know how to forge something yourself. its easy by the way
corrupted boon compound 1
special gum
effect gum
longevity gum
vigour 2
fate paste 2
protection paste 2
defect reduction compound 2 or something like it
boon transmute
very easy deck for the centraforge and someone posted a video on how to use it not to long ago.
OK. Then I’m probably too stupid for Boundless. I do not understand the forging system and for weeks I have not found request baskets to sell my Gems, Ores, Leaves … etc so I can not afford any more forged tools.
It really isn’t your fault man. I think it’s an inherit problem with how many shops are around in the game and how the majority of them seem to never get updated and there for be considered inactive and irrelevant to visit again.
I walked through Gyosha Mall and noticed a lot of the shops seemed to be empty, inactive, or not selling stuff that I wanted to buy personally. Granted I was mostly window shopping and checking prices on stuff but that’s besides the point.
People don’t advertise their shops. I bet if someone made a thread on these forums advertising their shop they would see a direct increase in sales to that shop and that’s if they’re even selling stuff people want.
I have my own issues with forging and it does have a learning curve to it; which is something I didn’t really expect in this game but I can live with it for everything else I like about the game.
I am telling you man if I had a shop I’d buy as many gems, ore, and leaves and anything else you have that I could use but I don’t and for that I am sorry.
You could always make an itemized list of stuff you have to sell and then make a post on these forums about what you’re selling since you’re having trouble finding a shop to directly sell to on a regular basis. Just an idea man.
I have 3 request baskets for the 3 types of leaves, every day I put between 10k and 30k in at least inky and fibrous. I put around 200k coin in all my baskets together every day!
Where to find me? New Leyden Market, Coin Converters, shop number B3.
Portals at Ultima HQ red shop floor, PS Lamblis SE corner inner ring, Gellis Prime, Taco Land, R3D’s, River Town, etc., etc., etc.
Also forged gear for only 12999c at Original Forgeries (D3). The Coin Converters of Fidach (B4) also has baskets for ore, other shops there have baskets as well!
Don’t give up too easily!
I need all those things too! So better watch it otherwise I put a wall around your shop at New Leyden Market
Kidding, kidding, would never do that, haha!
I made a lot of money (primarily during early access, when I didn’t want to have my own shop) as a mercenary gatherer.
I talked to a bunch of shop owners and crafters, they would make orders for what they wanted, how much they wanted, and when they wanted it delivered, we’d negotiate a price, and I’d go out and gather for them.
I bet people could still make good coin with similar strategies, and it’s always best for all involved when it can be hand-traded instead of basket-delivered.
Just requires a bit of networking.
Not to mention that it removes the uncertainty of ‘will someone sell me enough beans today?’, which can be annoying when you need specific stuff to restock shop stands.
I had a shop on Gellis for a long time, which I advertised almost every day on Discord. There I tried diamonds of 50C each, topaz at 35C, titanium at 20C, blades at 3C-9C … and much more. There was never bought anything, because the prices are too high. And I spent several hours every day on every planet for weeks trying to find request baskets where I could sell. In vain or titanium / diamonds, leaves to only 1C, which I honestly is too cheap for the effort. - This was too long a time that I first lost the desire to Boundless. And I hope there’s something coming in the future, that it’s easier to get coins.
Edit: I was also in the shops, where it always says that the filled request baskets and would buy, in vain.
That’s the only way I can repeat myself. I would definitely pay Cubits for coins, although I have very little money.
And if that were possible, we’d be entering the micro-transaction, Pay-2-Win model which has no place in Boundless. Just sayin’.
Also, if I’d have seen advertisements for titanium etc. at those prices, you would have sold out within minutes because I’d have bought the lot. You mustn’t have tried that hard to advertise, really. Again, Jus Sayin’.
This is very true!!! I’ve done a couple “freebies at my store” ads in here and discord, and definitely noticed the uptick in sales. Both in Gyosha Mall and Blacklight. Sure allot of people come in and shoot straight for the back to the free stuff. (50 toxic shards are back there now ) but, they still walk through and see everything. Some will buy, some won’t buy, but will come back a different day and buy.
Even having a sign in front for those who just pass by helps. Like the mental trick of: “2 for ONLY 100c” or the other way “ONLY 50c each!!”. Both say the exact same thing, but one of those sells better than the other…
Edit: sorry that was off topic, but figured I’d put the strore front idea in their head again for a way to make coin again.
I’m with everyone else…no no and uh big NO! That screams PTW threads…
Edit2(last time): you set up a store selling gems at that price…and I’ll be racing @C0ND1T10NR3D to the stands haha!
I’d rather the devs have a DONATE button on their website for those of us not big into huge plot builds or looks, that I can give my money to for the appreciation for their hard work. Along with how many of them there are so id know to donate accordingly. Opposed to cubits for coin. Period.
