Just spent some time in Halyconia and that shit's crazy. Don't bother going until you're level 50.

It's cool-ish, but really highlights just how shitty the targeting system is in the game.

Troy, Cake, Scooty and I went there when it was war time once. There were so many people running around, you could find yourself in a big group of friendlies and just hunt down a lone stragler and crush them. Or the tables could be turned and you would find yourself all alone and then turn around just to see 15 reds closing in on you.

Personally i found the most fun PvP when on the boats or when we landed on the eastern continent and hunted down lone straglers. When you have 30 people on the screen at once, its just chaos.

Did we get star or moonlight archeum shards from that Elite?

Post by **Cakedaddy** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 7:44 pm

I don't remember. I don't even remember who got them.

Stranger: Taxes were killing me, until Scooty found the trade pack spawn just off the coast of Solzreed. With a little effort, you can haul in about 40g a night there. Then buy tax certs to pay the taxes. Then use labor points to keep grinding skills. Then there's the farm income. Gold is flowing.

I think I gave them to you. They were probably starlight, the ones that go for silver. I saw the moonlight shards were going to like 20g a pop, and wanna know where that npc spawn is.

I have a red cube in my warehouse. Maybe that was it. Don't know where else I would have gotten a red cube from.

Your polar bear is 'weakened'. I can blow a whistle and release it. What should I do with him?

Also your trees. You have random trees. Are we cutting those down? Replant the same ones and keep it going? What do you need there?

Sell all the resources? Fur from the animals and the milk? I can store anything you need for grinding.

Weakend? Never seen that before. If he isn't hungry, he might be sick, but I forgot to give you the cure potions. No big deal - it's just pixels and I got my money out of him already.

I threw down long growth trees to try to get thunderstruck trees. They can only get struck while in growth stages though - which is why I used up all the random long growth saplings I got while tree hunting. If they aren't growing anymore, feel free to cut them down. Pine is one of the best trees to get thunderstruck, apparently.

Feel free to sell all resoucres and put them towards your house construction. The various furs: goat, yata, bear, can be combined into yarn that will sell for 3-4g on the AH at the spinning wheel. No skill req.

I just stumbled across this thread on the AA forums, some guy is tracking the tree type and what zone they get thunderstruck trees. Last time i looked they were selling for about 160G for one log! Looks like Cedar and Pine trees have had the most success.

It's the AC/DC zone, man.

So pine trees. And once they are mature, cut them down and replant because they can't be thunderstruck any more?

You need a thunderstruck log to make a cart. So those carts are worh about 200g given their materials.

How do you know when a tree has been Thunderstruck?

it should say something like "thunderstruck pine" when you hover your mouse over it, and i saw a picture of one somewhere and the tree looked like it was black and all burned.

Post by **Troy** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 4:01 pm

I've been heard it blows up all nearby trees too. Can't confirm b/c I've never seen one.

Post by **Cakedaddy** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 7:47 pm

Lowest thunder struck right now is 210.

Are people actually buying at this price do you think? I've seen people offering 150g in chat though.

Post by **Troy** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 10:06 pm

Sounds like a scam. And yes, because they are required for farmcarts and big ships, there is some serious demand.

Post by **Cakedaddy** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 10:21 pm

People offering to BUY at 150g.
