i think we went over this once before in regards to potion making etc, but i feel i put way to much effort into potions to sell them for 1000$ approx. but thats just my opinion. _________________ Neifl Cacambo - "Anyone have change for a tampon?"

I agree with Josie, its one of the reasons why I dont make potions much anymore. _________________ Lick or Be Licked |

I make around $5,000 - $7,500 an hour via whittling with a level 11 artisan. I think that's pretty much what I would expect to make.
When it comes to hunting, the range changes dramatically based on what the boxes I find may contain. Vibro-sabres and bullwhips sell for $1,200 a pop, so I can either really clean up when hunting chiths or hardly make anything at al. |

Yes, there is a lot of money in circulation, but I'm afraid that I have to echo Josie's point about potions. Unless I want to buy my supplies from the commodities market (thus cutting what I actually net by about 1/2-2/3) it can take several hours to get all the components gathered and prepared.
Hunting at the low levels is hit or miss as Yaru said, and by the time my head fills up with experience I've usually made about $100 or so (the fact I can't skin worth a damn doesn't help), even with the lucky trait. I'd stay to just get more money, but I'd basically be wasting the experience I'd be getting. _________________ Help! Help! I'm being oppressed! |

I'm not gonna vote, because well, I don't make money at all. I usually find very little use for it. Yeah, once in a while when I find something cool, I'll go make a few bucks, but most of the time I just go hobo style. _________________ >ask librarian about books

There wasn't an "other" selection, so I decided to post.
In some ways I can make money fine, in others I can't.
Good: It is great there are so many non-combat ways to have fun, learn exp and make money. I'm pleased with the amount of choices I have. I like that I can earn a decent amount of money while learning well (In DR, I found I could train for exp OR train for money...never both, sure, training for one would net me a little in the other, but not worthwhile). HR is wonderful in this respect (and many many others).
Bad: Hunting is a severely BAD way to make money. It just seems backwards that I can mine, forage, practice alchemy, fish or a number of other reasonably low-risk activities and make WAY more money for my time than what I can possibly make hunting (which could possibly get me injured and/or killed).
I only hunt when I want to, and never for money or exp...takes forever to fill my mind from it (that started about 15th level or so) and the income is horrid.
Hopefully when combat is looked at again, revenue (and exp for higher levels) from combat will be looked at also. _________________

If you raise money/exp from hunting, then you should make the other treasure (stat boosting jewelry, etc.) available through other means. Yeah I know they're supposed to become less common, but they'd fit nicely in the excavation system. _________________ ** The phrase "break a leg" just wasn't ambitious enough for Mellie Knight.

How often do you get boxes, do you hunt stuff with boxes? Do you skin? Do you keep/pick boxes or just leave 'em there?

I actually have a number of ideas for this! None related to excavation, that's Mickey's bag. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

Actually, something I always found odd about hunting in Haelrahv is that if you're going to find non-cash treasure, it will always come in a box.
While this is good (because boxes always have two or more goodies in them), it also might really suck later on for those who are good fighters but not the best at security. |

Combat intensively trained Tracker who has, among other things, maxed skinning, maxed security and lucky trait. Skin everything, sell the skins, pick the boxes, sell anything I can that I find inside (and use a bureaucrat as much as possible).
I usually make about $1000 - $2000 for several hours of work if I hunt. Combat income just isn't very high, comparitively. I can make that much in 10-15 minutes of foraging (with the amount of units I get per forage).
Like I said though, there are other options for making money which do provide exp gain. I only hunt now for 3 reasons.
1. For an occasional change of pace from other activities (fun).
2. To obtain skins/pelts for people (some Artisans, some people doing errands).
3. Curiousity...to see if I can hunt that particular creature yet.
Anyway, I'm not trying to complain, I'm a very happy player, just thought whoever is responsible for combat might want to know how unrewarding (financially) it is. _________________

Or if they're like me, who can't carry boxes if their life depended on it.
Yaru learned security just because he would have to run back to town after getting two boxes or risk death by burden. |

This seems really off to me. Back when I hunted 'zerkers, I made about 3k per 20 minutes. What're you hunting? |
