Renaissance Kingdoms: Carpenter guide

The first of a series of RK level 2 guides I am going to post in my blog. Most of them are lost around RK forums, here you can find them easily. NOw, ladies and gentlemen, the Carpenter Guide:

General remarks

• The trade of carpenter is a job for level 2 players.
• The carpenter can make small ladders, large ladders, oars, hulls, shafts, boats, hoes (not implemented yet), unhooped buckets, and blunted axes.
• A carpenter uses wood bushels.
• Before you make a decision, ask your mayor if there aren't to much carpenters already in the town to avoid overproduction.

The trade of carpenter.

1) It's necessary to buy wood bushels from the market.

2) The wood bushels need to be placed in the property inventory

3) You can make the following products in your workshop:

- small ladders (1 wood bushel)
- large ladders (2 small ladders)
- oars (1 wood bushel)
- hulls (3 wood bushel)
- 3 shafts (1 wood bushel)
- boat (You can make one boat from 1 hull and from 2 oars)
- hoes (not implemented yet)
- (You can make one hoe from 1 plowshare and from 3 wood bushels)
- unhooped buckets (1 wood bushel)
- blunted axes (You can make one blunted axe from 1 axe blade and from 1 shaft)

You need to work one day for each item

Prices & profits.

• The average price for wood bushels is £4.

• Although free to choose, the prices must respect a certain degree of honesty so consumer and producer can both benefit. SOme cities also have a price cap law.

• Approximate price calculations for carpentry items are based upon £4 for wood bushels and £26 for one working day.

- small ladders - £4 + £26 = £30
- large ladders - £30 + £30 + £26 =£86
- oars - £4 + £26 = £30
- hulls - £12 + £26 = £38
- 3 shafts - £4 + £26 = £30/3 = £10
- boat - £38 + £30 + £30 + £26 = £124
- hoes (not implemented yet) - (You can make one hoe from 1 plowshare and from 3 wood bushels)
- unhooped buckets - £4 + £26 = £30
- blunted axes (You can make one blunted axe from 1 axe blade and from 1 shaft)

Neopets: flash games!

Don't get frightened by the childish look of Neopets. Yes, this site has a good part of its pages dedicated to children, with the option of adopting a virtual pet and creating it, putting clothes on it, feeding it, playing with it (or them, since you can have more than one). It can be fun if you miss the good old times, and as a site from nickelodeon, neopets is certainly the best choice.

However, the biggest and the best section of this site is its flash games room. They have plenty of flash games, one better than another, ranging from action, adventure, sports, old arcade ones... there is even an stock market simulator. I used to spend hours playing the games of this site, in my opinion it is one of the great ways of cleaning the head after a hard day studying/working.

*Site address: http://www.neopets.com/

*Free? Yes, tottally. If you are interested in the "pet creation" part of the site, you may buy things to make your pet more beautiful. The flash games section is tottally free though. You may find some ads, but all of them are related to neopets events.

*Time spent playing: To be able to maintain your pet, a log-in of 5 minutes every 3 days is obligatory.

HattriX-Ray

This one is a great Hatrick tool. I always had it in favorites when I played Hattrick. I am going to show you some things it does and I am sure you won't do nothing but agree with me.

This is one of the free tools in the site: You can see how the combined habilities of your players affct their penalty hability. It is great when you are competing with your team in the national cup of our country.

Another browser-based tool allows you to compare the habilities of your players, not only to know who really is good at something, but what are exactly the stats of the players you are training, and what player of yours is the most suitable to be your coach:

And not only this: how to increase your stadium to maximize your profits, what is the best number os spokesperson your team should have, etc..

Free? Half of its features, the most sophisticated ones are paid though. Limited access too, so, use it, copy and paste the information you need through the season in your computer ;) However after nearly three months, your account is reset, and you can use it all again :)

Hattrick: talking about formations

When I played Hattrick I used mainly the 3-5-2 formation. Yes, if you want to win in Hattrick you should go for it. Invest most of the money you earn from your stadium with players that have good habilities in "inner mildfield". You can compensate your lack in investment in other areas by buying inner mildfields with good secondary habilities in "scoring" and defense.

One of the key factors to win a game in HT in to dominate the field, to see your players having the domain of the ball in the entire game (and the 3-5-2 is perfect for it). However, to face a team using the 3-5-2 I sometimes ordered the 3-4-3, with the intention of increasing my chances of a sucessful goal. Yes the midfield domain increased the score chances for the adersary team, but you always have some if your disadvantage isn't that big.
