Holy shit I feel so noob at this game looking at this. Also is this the only viable way of making money? I can't find myself spending 500g on a farm and running tradepacks all day.

If you look at the bottom right, it shows profit. Each pack costs 120 labor, so look at it as profit/labor (divide by 120).

5k labor = 150g easily (360s profit / pack), or as much as 300g if you turn in for 720s profit / pack (6+s/labor).

A merchant ship helps significantly as well as a farm cart. The farm cart is the real money maker. It lets you do runs that you would not normally like simply because you can do them 3 at a time. It eats up labor when you need to and you can run "less" profitable packs for more total profit because it's more overall gold.

Here is a more updated version (I worked on it for a half hour or so after I posted the original).

Okay, this makes more sense. I think I could stand trade pack running with a farm cart for sure. This is really really useful.

Obviously the live version of the spreadsheet is the most useful since it auto updates with the price of the commodities and you can change the prices that the gold traders are offering so that you can see the true values of the runs before you go. Don't know if I'm willing to share it atm though outside of my guild.

Don't blame you, just incredibly ignorant to the game atm. It honestly seems really basic. Just I don't have the resources to learn enough.

You could do everything I did with just multiplication/division/addition. Just cell referencing logic.

Not really interested in trade packs. Especially since I don't own any property. I'd probably look into fishing or just rng crafting in general.

5k labor turned into fishing
currently sitting just above 40k fishing meaning all i reel in are medium-large fish

i have a fishing boat on the way in my guild allowing me to really fill up what i can per marlin pack i find.

I also have people who are willing to run back and forth with fish that i catch

this means that i can turn 5k labor into 50 fish

at a minimum of 15g per fish doing basic math is 750g

being that im making this as a MINIMUM if i use 5k labor a day on fishing, having 6 toons over level 15 allows me to use 6 labor pots every 12 hours

splitting this up into 2 points that i use labor at noon 5pm midnight and 5 am i can easily pull almost double that if i have the party willing to back me up

now im not saying this is what im currently making at this point because its really not. its the fact that this much gold can be made just going out with fishing raids where you hardly even have to chum the waters on my server. there are a few fishing boats already making it easy for us fishers to find the marlin packs and most of the time there is always a fishing raid to get in on.

just saying, labor-gold profit isnt anywhere near trade packs.

trade packs are for people who are just starting out MAYBE.

i say maybe because a few people in my guild come out to do fishing with me and make 2-300g a day fishing casually

just saying, you want money? get fishing
