OP the big huge shipment thing is arguably not worth doing, lots of players even blasters are just sending a couple k of each crop to riven with a couple k dust and farming solid currency.
Was just listening to Baylormage and Catmaster's podcast at work, he's one of the most "elitist" blasters in the streaming community (and also unrelated: a guy who thinks every word he utters is of the utmost marvelous hilarity) and even he is just sending like 1000-2000 of each crop and some 4 digit dust and enjoying the orbs that come back. We're in what week 3-4 and I'm a slow af player I focus purely on what I find fun and refuse to turn this game into a job and I am enjoying the hell out of this league. It might be my all time favorite league at this rate but: But my town isn't maxed out, I've not sent a ship even in the 6 digits let alone 7 and yet I am apparently using the same strats as a SC trade blaster guy. I really like this mechanic and think its actually shockingly well tuned for a league. When it goes core it will need to be tuned as an optional mechanic (so like Delve and Heist) or it'll fast become a pain point for people who don't want to feel forced into releveling their town. I love it, I don't know what to tell you. Except I guess it feels like the OP's problems are mostly that age old thief named comparison.

" This is not an elitist response. I am a casual player and I consider these things to be very simple - you want something in game, you set your goals and work towards its completion. If you're just running maps with 0 scarabs and 3-5 mods and afterwards you go to forums to complain about how hard it is for you to gather resources for a large shipment and that you don't have lvl 10 sailors to even make this kind of shipment, then you are either too lazy to google some gold making strategies or too greedy to invest in your maps and don't understand that in this game more investment means more return. Somehow I and many other players were able to level our Kingsmarch to max level and as for sailors - at this point I even have to skip some of lvl 10s cuz now I'm looking for those, who is asking for less money per hour. Same goes for oteher types of workers (except for lvl 10 mappers - they are way too rare). TLDR: if you're lazy and cannot google shit - don't expect that game will simply throw a mirror at you. " What it realy should sound like is "If you're saying -"I want a million dollars", you then don't reject a job offerring that pays exactly that amount".

" 50 mio def worth it. There is a chance it's not, but if you win big it's 80-150 divs worth of goods ez. Other than that you can just farm stacked decks until you have a lot of ressources and were able to reroll for high lvl sailors. I farmed 400 decks since yesterday morning just by clicking. It is so easy and you just need one sailor per ship, low level... So far in 9 days i got 2 mirror shards from my big all in and The Immortal from stacked decks i farmed while waiting. Every player that can go online a few times a day and has time for ~8-12 maps per day is able to do that. If you feel to much gold pressure just skip the mappers and optimized your HO downtime. You want to be in maps not in HO. The league mechanic is very rewarding. It is just not the same dopamine rush as if you would get a loot explosion in maps.

Precisous tactic? You can use random stuff like domination scarabs 3 times to get to 20k. ~50k per map means heavily jucied, means usually the map takes a significant time longer to run.
20k per map doing boss maps is possible and they are very fast. Kill the Boss for Maven Inv as Bonus income just use scarabs 1-3 chaos worth, like 4 extra rare packs, domination and sth like that. The gold per hour is very good, 1 map takes 2-4 minutes with uber strict loot filter even though the map is filled with extra monsters. You'll earn just as much as the t16 hyper juicer who needs 7-8 minutes for their maps. Yes somebody will claim they need 30 seconds per map earning 50k gold, congratz, but that is not my experience with heavily juiced maps lol. Last edited by Strickl3r on Aug 28, 2024, 9:48:14 AM

Yeah Strickl3r that is what I have been doing for gold farm as well. Maven + map mod effect, pack size, IIR from atlas tree and extra packs from boxes and shrines. Works like a charm

" I assume by full level town they meant the tavern, as upgrading runecrafting has 0 relevance for this discussion. Nobody is leaving anything out lol - every league, same conspiracies. There is no "secret" method - it's everywhere on forums, reddit, youtube, if only you can be bothered to search for it. I gave one such example. There are many others but basically it's all about packsize\having as many monsters as possible. More monsters = more gold. Obvious and easy. I said nothing about T17 farming - obviously you'll get way more by doing that. And no you don't get 20k from T17 lol, it's 50-100k for T17 (50k is absolute minimum if you don't juice at all). This doesn't mean you can't sustain gold by running only T16 - 15-20k is the average for a T16 map with cheap scarabs (domination, lineage, exiles, abyss, whatever adds extra mobs). Get an atlas for gold farming (again, if you look it up you'll find 10 different threads in 2 mins that share how this is done) and use cheap scarabs that add packs if you don't wanna run any specific league content. And yes 15k per map is more than enough, if you don't take more than 5 mins to run a map (which you shouldn't, especially if you're only farming for gold). | |
" It's worth doing if you just want to do big shippings ever so often instead of small shippings across the day. You still get a good amount of currency out of the large packages but you wouldn't really know as you don't even interact enough with it to have the experience. Just another take of spreading false informations because you've heard something of your favorite streamer spreading their personal opinion and you believe 100% in what they say right away. Lol Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

I found shipping to be worthless personally and just stopped doing it, especially after the buff/nerf/adjustment.
I can see how much I get v how much I put in and how much time it takes to micromanage. It just doesn't have that wow factor and feels like a half-assed implementation of a decent idea. Like if I am to believe the datamines, GGG decided that ports have specific rewards for various metals, but they decided not to tell us. Not cool. and on top of that we have to deal with risk when instead they could have not have any risk and just make higher tier sailors sail faster. Why should a potentially weeks or two weeks of grind be destroyed because of a sub10% risk, who knows? |
