I still need to do both my solzreed and solis packs
are you short on olives?
oh no, i did that first part
i need to do the dewstone - solzreed, then the one to solis
right, right
but with all the land gone its kinda just like "Eh, why bother getting teh 16x16?"
I'm definitely swapping my house for a farm
And with the banwave coming, some land should be opening up
boy i sure do hope a 24x24 dissapears so i can place my farm house :)
oh actually true
might actually be able to get all of our buildings together once that opens
Definitely possible 
I am actually super curious about the "increased tax" after 3 buildings
because we all have 10k labor and a mad regen rate
so does it actually even matter now?
yeah, taxes are trivial
I've been burning labor on tax certs to grind exp
went from 40 to 50 in like 3 days of just crafting
Haha, yeah thats how i got from 51-52
im gonna save up for da fishing boat
alright, only quest i have left for 16x16 is the trip across the ocean
does anybody have a farmer's workstation or do I need to use the crafting request board to make combined feed?
I think getting a farmer's workstation involves cross-seas trade, and I don't think any of us are doing that currently.
10 pages of azalea theft they say.

farmers workstation looks like something we could actually make, 30g for the oil on marketplace, then its just an 8x8 garden design and 30 lumber
the 8x8 hurts though
start your alt, get another 8x8 in an hour, you now have a 8x16 
Is the workstation an actual plot of land though?
cause i think it gets consumed in the recipe
yeah its furniture
It's not a plot of land but you can slap it on top of you scarecrow to save space
i see i see
welp I just spent a ton of hours today and yesterday getting enough stone for my house, got the pack all the way to my cottage plot then had a friendly player go rogue and kill me right at the last second
yeah I demolished my house and im just gonna wait for the ban wave
If nothing else some land may open when Auroria does along with the ban wave, whenever that wave is hitting.
im not stressing on it, I dont really need a house atm, im focusing on bait fishing to grind out music sheets
extra space for trees and worm compost would be nice but its not worth fighting my neighbors everyday
The other nice thing is getting residency to open up that other family quest.
But yeah.
I think it's three days til Auroria?
yeah I think it was the 18th
I may do some more random mining so if you find yourself short on stone I may be able to toss some your way when you get the house back down.
I invested in the fancy gloves so I'm pretty decent at actually getting stone now.
Yeah, I'm swimming in iron as well.
There's gotta be some kinda pack to turn that into but I haven't looked into literally anything that makes money.
I figured we all are but if anybody finds themselves needing some on short notice hmu
I'm growing 15 trees and 50 cotton at a time so I'm really hoping to get a clipper done tomorrow.
Though I really feel like going out to sea
Is gonna be a bad time.
Yeah, after I get the ship I'll have to see about getting the pack materials, but I'll make sure to try to get as many of us on the boat as possible to raise our odds of at least someone getting it done.
Or dying in a big pile and losing it all, one of those.
what else are you lacking for the clipper?
Uh, I have about half the wood so it's mostly just down to me needing to farm the fabric.
It's a pretty cheap build.
I just haven't been checking in throughout the day like I could've.
Probably gonna go rotate the cotton in a bit here.
i've got a sheep so I can make some fabric
Get some fresh plants goin.
were fishing rods always temporary or is that new?
New in that it's old, from my understanding.
oh I see
The version we played didn't have that and the AH in the version we played also let you buy partial stacks.
Those are two things I see people bemoaning a bit now and again.
the having to buy a full stack thing does suck imo, even if it makes sense for an auction house
WoW Classic had the same issue.
It's just a mark of an older style AH before convenience hit.
I got about ~60 fabric and a little over 100 lumber I can donate to fill the clipper
I mean, if you wanna do it that way we can build it pretty much right away I'd imagine.
After the cotton harvest.
I might just give you my clipper design for now though.
I dunno if I wanna be trusted with the first/only boat.
I can get a clipper design, I just need to either trade it to someone else or hit 50 to send myself mail
it's on my alt
okie
Alright, hoppin on.
Yeah, that harvest of 50 cotton was a little under half the fabric for a pack.
Getting on my alt - Reed
I'm just processin fabric at the housing stations.
Do we have a guild and or family
A family, yeah.
we need 5 members on at once in a group to make a guild
maybe we should just join one
I don't really know what the perks are aside from a buff.
if we can find a trustworthy group of strangers I dont mind joining another guild but i'll be on soon if we're close to 5 people anyway
I can be around, but I think I'm the only one online at the moment.
Oh, by the by, I have 200ish raw stone if you'd like that. I can process it for ya as well since I have the item that speeds that up.
I'll take it and process it unless somebody else needs it sooner. I cant use it until they do the ban wave or open auroria anyway
You got it, I'll mail it your way.
thanks
Man, I genuinely just don't know what you can do with all the iron you get from mining.
I didn't notice any packs in the list that used it.
you can make a lot of fish hooks ๐
Yeah, guess I'll just have to look into something valuable as a normal craft to ditch some of this iron.
Or I guess sell it as is perhaps.
you cant even sell them for much
It's so strange that iron is the trash and stone is more valuable.
why cant we just grow stone
Just lemme buy those "grow your own crystal" kits, but for rocks.
It's fantasy, nobody will think about it.
They really want thier donkey to move.
As someone who's never actually been a criminal in the game, though, I must abstain because I don't know how boring jail is.
theres some big ass illegal farms next the dewstone housing and im very tempted to fuck around and find out
Just don't get put in jail for 1k minutes over azaleas.
That one's gonna be hard to top.
my attempts to earn money as a street bard have not gone as well in this version of archeage
is feesh one of us?
oh yeah it is I already have them on my friends list
finally found a patron of the arts
now I can actually buy more memory ink
yeah thats why I asked because I remembered them

what can you actually spend merit badges on? I havent seen anything in the marketplace that needs them
I haven't seen anything either. I figured they might be for some trader on Mirage Isle.
There's a lotta NPCs there, though.
So I haven't checked.
last tab on the market
Oh, I see, I'm just blind and didn't notice the sub tabs.
I think my reading comprehension just doesn't exist for Archeage.
I'm missing words all the time it seems.
Yeah, it might be the fact that literally every piece of information's font is the same size or somethin subconcious like that.
I feel like every kmmo has nightmarish UI that doesn't translate to western brains
If anyone needs some extra space for small crops today I think I'm gonna take it easy so my house and garden have room for some. They're open to family.
I think there's room for somewhere around 40 small crops?
It's here, just south east of the north Dewstone crafting area, little cottage with a blue roof, there's a finished farmhouse next door.
sounds good, I'll probably use it here and there
been running pack to cinderstone
mushrooms and narcissus
Yeah, I was planning to make some and run them to Two Crowns at some point since the trade calculator listed that as 130% rates and it's all safe.
I'm just runnin on no sleep tryin to flip my schedule a bit today so a buncha planting didn't sound appealing.
haha fair
there's an airship that runs from dewstone to cinderstone, it's 9g per pack
and peace time is like 2 and a half hours
Yeah, that does sound pretty reasonable if you catch the cycle.
I got my clipper done btw
Once I run a few more packs over the next few days I'll have enough for a farm cart
Nice.
I keep seeing people desperately trying to sell taxi rides for the quest.
Saw one guy offering to do it for 10g and then a minute later dropping it to 5g.
haha damn
I'd say if the server didn't lag out it might be relatively safe to make that trip during the big Halcy event daily.
yoooo boys we in
that's a good idea
i rolled a TS tree with one of my cedars i planted yesterday
Grats.
WTF
Straight up
one of the cedars next to my cottage, and one of them on my 8x8
both TS trees
what was that RNG
That's gonna be nice money for ya if you don't have a use for the extras.
I have never in my life purchased a lottery ticket, maybe i should
Unless you were lucky yesterday, in which case play it yesterday.
i slapped down some shrooms, feel free to gather them if they're in the way or anything
also, my neighbor, the only person who's been friendly to me on the server is in a guild called Fluffy Bunnies, ya'll wanna join them?
Those guys are assholes
they kept griefing my cork farms pre-landrush
dirty uprooters, the lot of em
I'd join anyway, it was probably just the two of em
nice, we can use that story to make things awkward :)
that makes me like them more
my concern is their guild name sounds furry adjacent, but I guess if theyre in the west they probably arent furries, right?
just realized the person who gave me money for playing music yesterday is in fluffy bunnies
vroom vroom
vrooooooom
gotta love this community
do I need to do anything to opt into being on the jury for trials?
Uh, there's a quest line in Marianople.
k thanks, I had forgotten
Ye, no problems.
It's pretty short but I know a lot of people are just skipping anything that isn't green this time around.
I started out trying to do every quest but I quit that before marianople
There's also a quest that gets you a dog outside Marianople in whatever the town is out there.
I forget the name.
Welp, overnight some plans shifted and I'm gonna be out of town for a week starting probably Monday, so that's really cut into my motivation to do much with Archeage. Mostly because I know if I put games down for a week it's pretty rare that I wanna get back to them afterwards.
Well, for now they're prepaid up until the end of September and free use, but if forkin em over to you would be more useful I might.
I'll just use em until then
Yeah, originally the plan was for only a couple days but it changed real fast so here we are.
Might actually be taking off Sunday morning.
But it's not like I'm gonna be totally absent, luckily I have already been playing on a laptop.
I just dunno how often and for how long at a time I'll be around.
I am legally obligated to say that going to visit my wife's family is gonna be swell.
Unfortunately I'm trying to detangle that last question because my brain isn't catching the meaning.
But I guess to explain what's goin on it's just that my wife's family is having a fairly large reunion next weekend and our plans changed so that now we're heading out early so she can visit her mother and brothers.
Well, anywho, I have enjoyed revisiting the game, and I may avoid my personal trend of things like this stopping me from playing games I was playing, but either way, just wanted to make it known that my land is most likely gonna be really available for a bit.
Are you going to collect your trees or can I snatch em up
Feel free to grab em.
The last three or four days the community center wanted lumber so I haven't done much but spin my wheels on that front anyways.
when does auroria housing open?
it opened two days ago
Yeah, they gave people two days before land.
it's kinda a shame that land is locked, more or less, forever due to high labor regen
There's really little to no chance a plot will expire unless you simply stop playing
Yeah, I imagine you can pay for quite a few lots without breaking a sweat with the labor regen as it is.
thanks again for letting me use your land, I'm gathering about 300 logs a day
No problem.
I found a 16x16 spot in halcy last night, got my tax certs and when I turned around, it was claimed by someone from the east
shit is so goddamn annoying
I wanted to run Halcy larders again 
Yeah, they were saying something about considering opening land that became available in later patches or somethin along those lines.
But I really think the high labor regen kinda kills the server economy.
There's really just no point where you think about not doing something to conserve labor.
yeah, exactly.
I'd be fine with a small regen rate while online and higher while offline
I think AAClasic just wants people to get into endgame PvP asap
but that's not my favorite aspect
I just like running packs and making GOLD
Yeah, it feels like it's amplifying the two fairly distinct halves of the game.
There's supposed to be a crossover between them but the infinite labor is kinda making the non-combat side suffer hugely.
It also probably doesn't help that the server has so much meta knowledge going on. There's something to be said for a game having people who don't know what's going on in every detail.
that's definitely true
I had forgotten everything from Unchained
It would have really helped to remember some key things, like buying a 24x24 claim instead of relying on a 8x8 and 16x16
I didn't scale up appropriately and I feel way behind with no way to catch up
I already see people with 8 slot haulers while I'm going to struggling with my 2 slot for a while until I gather up some money
And I feel like farming / trade packs isn't the best for money. But everything that pays out better requires a guild full of people.
man I just want my house and to be able to afford my music sheets and its not going well so far
but im grinding
Every time I look around my plot and see people planting trees that aren't for temperate climates en masse I wonder what meta thing I'm missing this time and when the next meta thing I don't know is gonna be relevant.
I think you are overestimating mmo players
they are (generally) the bottom rung of the scale
These are the same people who had already built the meta 24x24 before I managed to build the basic cottage, so I get the feeling when they do things they have reasons based on 10 years of dissecting the game.
theres a difference between following the meta and making a logical choice based on what the game is telling you
tbf the ui is so hard to navigate its hard to fault anybody for not taking the time to figure out which plants that they can afford are best for their climate
It's definitely peculiar why they plant out of region trees and stuff, I agree. But I think the only draw back is time.
Right, but since they're trading time for something I figure there must be an positive reason to do it.
its interesting to me that everybody in dewstone plants cedar and not maple, but maybe im just planting maple because I can afford to lose vocation points and not coins
does maple give you just wood?
yes
its not as good of yields but you can spend vocation on it
(not as good as cedar, to be clear)
I mean, 1s50 isn't much of a cost.
im used to spending all my money on memory ink
apparently vocation badges are a big deal
im swimming in them
I think it's how you get luna gems
I just need that hat
I just bought them as I needed them.
imo vocation points are easier to come by than money, but I dont really play the quests or pvp for the most part
Doing the two family quests that you can solo and the two labor merits gets you pretty much enough for a piece a day.
Sometimes the merits have a little 5 gold quest to go somewhere and kill 10 enemies.
talking about archeage makes me want to hop back on, I hope my whole pc doesnt crash this time
do you guys set your recall point near your house or at the nearest city?
I had mine at the camp near the housing.
Marianople and Lilyut Hills are kinda the two big daily areas and that was near home so it made sense to me to set it there.
man it sucks seeing all these houses plots that nobody has worked on
I imagine most of those are the meta farmhouse which I think involves a rather large amount of mats.
I'm not sure if they can pay taxes on them unless they get finished, though.
I know you can't prepay an unfinished lot.
yeah but as long as you log in every week you can keep it under control
which sucks
Well, if they don't do that big ban wave they were hinting at tomorrow I don't know what they're waiting for on that front.
just letting you know springy, I play muted lmao
i can only listen to my own quickstep flute for so long
i'll trick our other clan members into giving me money, no worries
doot doo-doo doot doot doo-doo doot doot doo-doo doot doot doo-doo doot doot doo-doo doot
isnt that a separate sound option from the instruments?
probably
yeah thats tied to "Effects" which is separate from "Musical Instrument Volume", not that you would want to hear the songs im playing, theyre awful
justice
what the fuck are they trying to say in that second screenshot
talk about word salad
Sounds like he accidentally stepped out of the safe zone while trying to put down his house and got ganked lmao
Competitive games make for some real fragile egos
He bought a 16x16 spot, one where they needed to demolish the farm so Jacksparrow could drop his 16x16
Fluffy bunnies went blood lust and killed him and took the 16x16 spot for themselves
thats some classic archeage right there
I've been off for a few days since my desktop officially bit the dust and I took that as a sign to go take care of some irl stuff but im downloading on my laptop now
Use Loyalty Tokens or Merit Badges to buy these:
They have a higher chance to become Thunderstruck Trees, then sell them for big bucks
I read it's 10%
but I used two and got two thunderstruck trees
1 hour later
Oof
Just noticed that they're offering free faction transfers for east guilds willing to swap to west. Apparently the imbalance really is that bad oh no
Yeah, they have all the castles without much effort haha
why is east so popular? just furries and weebs?
rip unchained
the music grind is rough
Man, I clippered across the Ocean to Ynyster, followed a Merchant Schooner, I eventually pulled ahead and another Nui clipper saw me, let me past, I look back and they rammed the fuck out of the schooner.
West is full of assholes, man. Too many green pirates lmao
@atomic grove im finally achieving true power in archeage
how am I just now finding out that the dwarves have rail based public transit
news to me
its much worse than the airships but I still love it
im out here hunting for land to finally plant my house
I didnt find any
I love hitching rides on trade carts and watching the drivers try to knock me off using signs and lamps
baby come back
fair
Iโll figure out how to download this tomorrow
just make a throwaway email address and password and its easy
I honestly thought everyone was too busy for archeage, turns out i might have @ here turned off
๐
I mean I only ever see russ and myself on so I think a lot of people are too busy

see here
who is goth in the family?
oh nevermind the responded to me in game
apparently they are a rando
goth seems to be an ok person, not sure how you found them but they seem nice
@thin elk I noticed your trees are dying, if I buy you the certificate, do you wanna sell me your cottage?
oh no, are they? I've been pretty busy this last week lol
I can toss it to you if you want it, yeah
lemme know if you hop on tonight and if Goth is around we can do the family quest
@azure steppe
comin on
man I forgot theres a daily boss in the main questline
so much for getting more gilda tonight
I thought I was fishing with clan member, but it turns out they are in the guild "Fluffy Bunnies" and we are in the clan "Fluffy Bunniess"
Fluffy Bunniess is the 2nd guild to Fluffy Bunnies, they're the same
if anybody is planning to buy sheet music for a song they want dont use the auction house, im currently flooding it with a bunch of copies of "Darude - Sandstorm" but giving them the names of the most popular mml songs so that I can scam people
nice lmao
finally got to novice in artistry
Hey springy, if you demo your garden and I demo mine, you could slap down a 16x16
If you dont wanna slap down a 16x16, I'll pay you another 100 gold to move your 8x8 so I can finnaly get a home ๐คก
lmk what you think
There's also a lot of plots that will expire on <t:1693684800:D>
yeah i'll do that, let me know if you wanna do it tonight after stream
yeah, sounds good
there's a lot of spots in dewstone that'll fit an 8x8
they're just not super close to the merchants
if you give me another 100 gold I wont even need to bother having an 8x8 to get the materials for making music sheets
sure thing
Only things I'm saving for is land in Halcyona and the Freighter Upgrade Ticket
I assume it'll cost me over 1k
sheesh
@azure steppe Lemme know if you hop on tonight
@vast thorn my bad I went to the movies and got back later than I thought, are you still around?
(nobody saw that typo)
im trying to box in this expiring land in halcy, if anybody has a spare 8x8 that they want to place to the right that would be nice
Just an idea, making an alt can get you a garden in less than an hour
I dont think I have motivation for that on this run
thanks for the suggestion though
maybe in a month when im very lonely in my tiny japanese apartment I will change my mind
any song requests? https://archeagemmllibrary.com/
im maxed out at novice for the moment
np
1 More Day boys
When's the land free up? Might hop back in
Land ownership expires if the owner doesn't pay his tax certs.
I went around to see if some were expiring, which is the picture above. I know others are going to show up and it's going to be who can click the fastest.
and halcy might be extra hectic if its not a peace period
it will be in peace
First house - Jom goes demo <t:1693684800:R>
It's 24x24
There is also 2 spots in Dewstone that are demoing at the same time
a 24x24 next to @thin elk 's house
and a 16x16
uwu
lots at the 24x24 by me already lol
Rip
yeah there were like 20 people there, someone else got it
16x16 goes up in another 3ish hours in the same spot though
im confused, is the missed payment timeline using my pc's clock or is it using server's clock?
ok just making sure I only had to wait an hour instead of 13 hours
oh goddamit
the owner logged on and payed taxes for the next week
what a dick
I didnt even notice you in the collection of vultures
fuckin' gnarly
fuck it I give up, guess i'll never have a house
is there an event im missing?
This is MM
Happens twice a day
Mistmerrow Battle
There's a battle for about 30 minutes and after it finishes, it spawns Kadum, big tree boss.
oic
it begins
huge

What exactly were they blocking though is more what I was asking lol
man this game really is competitive
why am I only now getting compensation, did I miss something in the past few days of being offline?
its the compensation for the land rush fiasco
took them long enough
And all we got was 10k vocation and what 5k honor??
Pretty much the same value of a 16x16
which is going for like 2k gold
btw, if you do the 2 family quests you can do solo, its like 10k+ vocation for the day lmao
@thin elk @pseudo oak
I am requesting you pre-pay your land claims, there's roughly ten days until missed payments, please and thank you. ๐
Can do, boss.
Thank you very much, it's been ever helpful.
Awesome!
Affirm, will do
Thank you very much o7
Someone built a cow pen on top of me, send help
sounds like something a cow would say...
I am very sad. They have made a gilda dust sink. And I use gilda dust to make trade packs. The price of dust has risen 100%. 
I should have mained fishing.
Foiled by capitalism again
@atomic grove found your brother
Guh
I wish i wasnt juggling so many games, i was excited for archage classic
Maybe i gotta drag my ass into the gameโฆ
nice melons
thanks man
All for 100 counts of grape larceny, SAD!
thank god they are doing time for such a heinous crime
Dude what a fucking weirdo lol
"I'm losing an argument, but they don't know about my TRAP CARD"
Man, I've ended up with a lot of land in the past two months.
But all I do is make money to make trade packs to buy land to make money to make trade packs
eventually I'll own all of Halcyona
sounds fun, I would hop back in if I had home internet
@thin elk @pseudo oak
It's TAX time again. Also if you want to sell your cottages to me, I can send you the certificates to do so, too. Lemme know. ๐
yeah, you can have it if you want it. I'll hop on shortly
I'll mail you a building cert
I don't mind poppin in to pay, but if it'd make your life easier I'll transfer it.
Whichever is easiest for you, I'm fine with.
Alrighty, I'll get it paid up as soon as it's patched.
ah-
i uh
i went ahead and prepaid it, and apparently you cant sell prepaid buildings
great game design
All paid up again. It's neat popping in once in a while and seeing all the giant buildings that have popped up.
also all paid up, i'll have to not prepay next time so i can transfer it.sent you my goodies too since you're still playing.
No i just need to know how to read lol
Yeah IDK
Thanks for all the mats, Rithilin :D
The archeage crave returns
fish or be fished
Official servers are kill
they'll be back, for aa 2
2025 one last ride ๐ซ
Time to get the guild together for one last ride
and by that I mean PvP everyone that tried to sail 
whelp
A 20-year-old man was arrested for attempted murder after flying from New Jersey to Fernandina Beach to confront someone following an online dispute, according to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office. https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/crime/new-jersey-man-charged-with-attempted-murder-for-flying-to-florida-to-settle-online-dispute/77-3cf...
