I am just wondering how you guys make money. I pumpkin farm and farm wheat but I prefer pumpkin farming.
*Waits for mod to transfer this to economy discussion* But in theory, I believe that pumpkin farming is best, then i saved up for a spawn shop. I've calculated my earnings and I get ~94k per day by just farming and my spawn shop (67k by pumpkin farming a lot, and 27k off spawn shop)
something I've come to notice, a lot of people don't account for the cost of E-Repairs, especially with pumpkins after the price drop.
http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/every-possible-way-of-making-money.56507/ Try this out, it won't tell you the best way, but it will give you a great idea of where to start, and I think you could easily tell how much each would make if you experimented.
I like fishing. I know it isn't as profitable as melon farming, but it is fairly decent money and more fun than just holding down a key and clicking.
I think that rather depends on the price of the new fish It might be just as useless since pufferfish instantly kill you, and the other fish, as far as I know, do nothing new compared to the current fish.
I was actually thinking of the fact that vanilla minecraft is going to have fishing ebooks strictly to help fishing and "treasure/junk" catches now. Just one of the possible 'treasure' catches is ebooks. So faster collection with the new enchants, and 'better' collections to me = more profitable. I wasn't even considering the price of fish, which may be nerfed again once people hop on fishing bandwagon.
I'm afraid I haven't dived deeply into 1.7 research, I'll have to look into these treasures. But I hope we all realize it'll only lower the price of the item. But I also hadn't realized that fish might go down, although they might not, but if they do, people will be stocking their chests for the raising of the price. Although overall it's important to remember: McMMO will update to 1.7, and it might block new fishing treasures.
I will say that I am always on top of the new features, and read/watch tons of material related to them. And it has bit me before. When I found out about the recipe changes for the melons/apples, the first thing I did was ask a mod (one of the female red supermods) if it was ok to stockpile up items in case their was a recipe change. They replied it was perfectly fine and not an abuse of any rules. I will say they were confused as to why I was asking. I took that as a green light and , so I did. I believe I was one of the first, and was doing it days before anyone else. I saw gold prices jump from 11/ingot to 20+/ingot during my stockpiling weeks. And then andrew decided to nerf the melons/apples since everyone starting doing it. If we bring glistering melons/apples to, even just the previous prices, I am a multi- millionaire in this game. Over half of my mayor locks were just on doublechests full of this stuff. As it stand now, I am going to have to unload these things slowly via healing potions. In short, you are right, who knows what might be blocked/allowed after the update.
I say Requirements: SpawnShop Eff7 Pick Pyro+ Extcommands+ So mine in a straight line 2*2 or 3*3 in eff7 matters. Extcommands+ to repair your eff7 pick. Pyro+ for protection and spawnshop to sell. There are also other mining methods. Somtime I do a spam of 6*2. 6 wide 2 high
