Weavers Goods & Selling Range.

1) Forums & Contact Person's.

Please see the Sheep and Weavers Guild (S.O.W) for more information and actual selling prices (or) Check your market, ask your Mayor or Mentor.

(You can read but not post - contact the forum mod, found under the forum name for permission to join).

Mayor: In Game => Town Hall => Click on Mayor => Compose Mail.

2) Fair days wages

A 20.00-25.00p daily wage is considered a reasonable profit on most items. Usually a Level 2 workshop wage is based on being slightly more than Town Hall job offers for 19 stat labour.

Pricing:

Pricing of the items usually undergoes the following formula: Cost of raw materials * quantity used + daily wage = price

for example: assuming 1 ball of wool costs 12 pounds, and your daily wage = 24 pounds, 1 shirt = 8 balls of wool * 12 + 24 = 120 pounds

Prices for wool and hides and the standard salary for level 2 professions can vary widely from town to town and over time. Ask other weavers, your mayor or town mentor what is usual.
12-12.50 pounds for balls of wool, 15-17 pounds for hides and a salary of 20-24 pounds (allows to buy stat food and save up to reach lvl 3) are most usual.

3) General Information

-"Weaver" is a profession you can take when reaching level 2.
-The weaving workshop is located in the player's home.
-The weaver's trade consists of making clothes for men and women.
-Materials used are wool and hides (from sheep).
-Weavers usually open a shop (topic) on the town forum, where they list the clothes they make (some weavers specialize in certain types) and their prices. They can take orders in that thread or via IG mail.
-Before becoming a weaver, ask your mayor if there aren't enough weavers around, so as to avoid overproduction.
-Clothes do not wear out. However, many higher level players tend to move to colonies, making room for new players, so the weaver typically still has work.
-New clothes get coded in the game once in a while.
-The colors of garments are chosen by the buyer when they click on 'use' and wear them. It cannot be changed after that (or sold).

4) Weavers Goods and Prices

The Trade:

1) Wool and hides can be bought on the market or produced by yourself if you have a sheep field (typically a good thing).

Tribal wars

Tribal Wars is a browser-based game set in the Middle Ages. Every player controls a small village, striving for power and glory in the company of the members of your tribe. You gather resources, upgrade the constructions of your city, build your army and conquer others :)



*Free? Yes, and when I played (3 years ago) it had no ads too. You had to pay if you wanted access to more comfortable features and another graphics that helped you in the game. I could live without it though - and become a very good player :)

*Site address: www.tribalwars.net

*Time spent per day: 3-4 log-ins along the day are required to have some chance of success in the game.

Renaissance Kingdoms: Miller

Another level 2 for you my friend. Enjoy the Miller Guide :)

General remarks

• The trade of miller is a job for level 2 players.
• A miller transforms wheat into flour. Flour isn't a basic food product but has to be sold at the market where the bakers can buy it for the production of bread.
• Before you make a decision, ask your mayor if there aren’t to much millers already in the town to avoid overproduction.

The trade of miller.

1) A miller has to buy wheat at the market and place the bags in the property inventory
2) The miller then grinds the wheat to flour which is ready to be sold.

- One wheat bag can be grinded to one bag of flour and a miller can transform up to ten bags each day. Simple as that, and, as you can see, it is very similar to the butcher profession.

Prices & profits.

• The average price of a wheat bag is 13 pounds

• Although free to choose, the price for flour must respect a certain degree of honesty so consumer and producer can both benefit. Most of the times a bag of flour is sold for 15.6 pounds.

Renaissance Kingdoms: Baker Guide

Players who are level 2 or above can be Bakers. This guide is made to help you, level 2 players :)

General remarks

• The baker is a trade for level 2
• The baker uses flour to produce bread.
• Bread is a basic food item and gives 2 hunger points when eaten.
• Before you make a decision, ask your mayor if there are too many bakers already in the town to avoid overproduction.

The trade of baker.

Market:

1) It's necessary to buy flour bags from the market.
2) It's necessary to buy wood pieces from the market.
3) The flour and wood bushels need to be put into your property inventory. (otherwise you will waste a day baking nothing...how silly are you?)
4) The baker cooks the flour into bread, ready to be consumed or sold.

How it works:
- 1 flour bag is used to make 3 loaves of breads.

- 1 bushel of wood is needed per 2 bags of flour.
- A baker can use at most 12 bags of flour and 6 wood per day, which gives him a maximum production of 36 loafs of bread.

Prices & profits.

• The average price for flour and wood, is whatever your market rate is check there, numbers here would get outdated too quickly.
• Though free to choose the price, the price of the bread must respect a certain degree of honesty so consumer and producer can both benefit. Most of the time a loaf of bread can be sold for 6.50 p.. Again check your markets and your mayor for the desired price. (Working with your Mayor is important to the health of not just your town, but your County.)


Basic formula to work out how much each loaf cost your to produce:

Minimum Cost
(Amount of flour x cost) + (Amount of wood x cost) / Loaves Produced


Example
Flour Bags : 12 Price: £13.25
Wood Pieces: 6 Price: £4.25
Loaves Produced: 36
(12 x 13.25) + (6 x 4,25) / 36 (159 + 25.50) / 36 184.5/36
= 5.125 = £5.13

Profit
(Selling Price - Minimum Cost) x Loaves Produced

Example (Using above units)
Selling Price: £5.80
(5.80 - 5.13) x 36 0.67 x 36
= £24.12
