[quote=1403012555][author]starlight dreamer![/author]I know there was talk about making the workshops make lots of money. Tested this, but ended up losing 2k. I'm guessing I'm doing it wrong. Can we remember th r page number the info was on? Or could one of you that use the workshop this way tell me your method?

Thanks![/quote:0]

I tend to keep at least two alternating meadows of cows to produce leather, which I then use to produce equipment in the workshops (I use medium workshops) I sell these on for a pretty nice profit at the end. May be slow to start out with as you must wait 30 days for the leather at first but keeping at least 2 meadows on the go I find helps

Others may have easier ways of making profit but I find this works for me

It should depend on how many workshops you have active+How big they are, and really, where your EC is located. I make lots of money off workshops: A) I have 2 large workshops and 2 medium. 2) I have 4 active, I can make lots of items. I make 3*** saddles, My EC is in the mountains, so i have tons of iron on hand. I have 3 large meadows with feed troughs used to raise cows. I get about 35 000 leather each time I harvest. If I make 3*** saddles in all my workshops, the 2 large and 2 medium, I'll be making a total of 100 all together, and 100 now sells for about 150 000eqqus. If you're just starting to use workshops, It'll take some time, I admit, buying those workshops took a LOT of money, Sometimes I even regret it , but for long-term, It's been extremely useful and I've already made back all the money I spent on buying the workshops

Look back on pages 1484/1485. There was a lot of posts there including mine. It is what you craft and how you have your pastures working.

I have six large meadows with the highest cows on them each month, and then I have four large workshops making 2* Saddles each day. Normally nets me around 50k each day, just have to remember to set them up each day. 2* makes more than 3*.

I also now have a lot of leather sitting in my inventory. 389,330 to be precise, all which I've farmed myself.

Thanks everyone

Probably not, since it was abused a lot if memory serves me correctly, but you never know.

Make sure that what you are crafting will sell for more than it costs for you to craft.

For example - let's use a small workshop and build a 1* box

It's going to cost 250e to get enough Wood - and 250e to get enough sand for a total of 500e production cost.

Once complete - that box will sell back to the store for 665e > a profit of 165e

However - you won't always profit depending on what you are making. Let's use the small workshop again and this time make some 1* Classical Bridles (A small workshop makes 10 of these)

So to make these - we need:

Iron - 10 units = 100e
Leather - 90 units = 900e
Total cost: 1,000e

We'll get 10 units of Bridle to sell back - right now, you get 66e for selling one back to the store.

10 units x 66e = 660e made

1,000e production cost - 660e profit = 340e loss.

Basically, it all comes down to comparing the numbers.

Anyhow - getting this topic back on track spoiler wise;

That's the strategy I may use unless there's a BMI I want, but unlikely.

Here you go - the Prize list to help you decide;

Hm, thanks Shorah I'll keep both in mind.

Has the art for Serpentarius been released yet? If so, what does it look like?
